Amazing experience every time.! The staff is welcoming and Doct Karr takes the time to listen and explain clearly from the reasons to the solution of the issue. After 2 treatments my back pain diminished of at least 75% . I am not done yet but I am confident i will be 100% soon. read more

If you're coming here for a medical lien after a car accident, please go elsewhere!! (Preferably to Kolt Chiropractic - he's INCREDIBLE and still in the West LA area) Dr. Karr has everyone pretty much do the exact same thing when you come, like a conveyor belt of clients. Come in, use massage chair or use the 2 exercise machines. Lays you down for the electrodes and heating pad, and then general adjustment (in open view of everyone else). His hours are so inconvenient and parking is so frustrating. The biggest issue was after all the treatment was over. As a victim of an accident AND a patient you are already going through so much physically, mentally, and emotionally. Dealing with lawyers and insurance and doctors and countless appointments is beyond stressful. Then you finally get to the end and Dr. Karr demands an INSANE amount of money for treatment (mind you, he pushes you to see him 3 times a week and gives attitude if you only come once or twice. He's trying to pad the bill) Every other doctor provides a reasonable bill and also lowers that bill to a fair and logical amount. Not Dr. Karr. He's greedy and requires more money than even the lawyers, any other doctors, or you (the client) receives. I urge you to go elsewhere for better, more private, and more THOROUGH care. Get the most out of your recovery AND your settlement. I switched my care to Dr. Kolt from Kolt Chiropractic and he's PHENOMENAL!!! read more

I injured my neck surfing a few years ago which resulted in bulging discs in my neck. I went through months of no surgical decompression with Dr.Karr. I was very comfortable with being under his care based on his patience, knowledge, flexibility and progress updates. I have had no issues with my neck since completing the decompression which was 7 years ago. I hurt my lower back in Costa Rica two weeks ago and did not hesitate to return back to Dr. Karr. My back was already feeling better after the first visit and kept improving more after each visit. Highly recommend Dr. Karr /West LA Chiropractic for any neck or spinal issues. Based on my personal experience over the years, he has helped me heal. read more

If I could give more stars I would! I needed to see a Chiropractor right away because I had a pinched nerve that came out of nowhere. It was very painful to move my head. I called the next day and I found Dr. Karr on Yelp. I was pleasantly surprised when I spoke to Betty and I explained my situation and She said She could get me seen in an hour. Parking was easy and the office is located in such a beautiful location. I felt at ease as soon as I arrived. Dr Karr and Betty were so caring, knowledgable, trustworthy and professional. The office is very clean, up to date, organized, and had such a nice ambiance with really good music. I was seen right away and I received a thorough consultation, X-rays, therapy and adjustments that day. Dr Karr listened to my needs. I was a little nervous because I had a a lot of pain. After the treatment I felt much better than I had before and I was even able to go to work later that day. I found out the next day unfortunately my insurance would not be able to cover my sessions. I went back to go over my X-rays and let them know I would have to find another Dr. In my network. Dr Karr was understanding and so kindly went over my X-rays which had the pinched nerve findings and a couple other issues related to my neck, He gave me suggestions for when I go to another Chiropractor in my network. I thought about what we had discussed and I really did not want to go to another Chiropractor, because I felt so comfortable and I was feeling so much better. We went over pricing, and He let me know the cost if I were to pay out of pocket and it was so reasonable. I decided to go to Dr. Karr for therapy and I couldn't be happier about the treatment. It has been about over 3 weeks now and I have no more neck pain. I still have more sessions included in my package. It was the best decision to continue with Dr. Karr and Betty. I hope this helps anyone decide when looking for someone for treatment. I'm so happy and couldn't be more grateful to Dr. Karr and Betty. read more

I haven't been to a chiropractor for the past few years since the one I went to retired. I've looked for a chiropractor who practices more than one technique for treating a bulged / herniated disk for a friend and liked what I read about Dr Karr at West Los Angeles Chiropractic. Recently I developed a back pain and tightness that wouldn't go away and requires chiropractic adjustments and I came to Dr Karr. I'm very pleased so far. I've had a few adjustments by Dr Karr and the condition have already improved so it's not bothering me constantly. He'll be using x rays and MRI images (MRI done elsewhere) to identify problems areas in my spine which cause some of the pain and where a treatment for disk conditions will be used. I'm looking forward to that. He is personable, professional, attentive, and patient. Betty, working both at at the office front desk and assisting is excellent. She is personable, attentive and helpful. read more

Came here with severe pain in my lower back from college sports. Daily training and team play. Was taking Tylenol and realized how long I had been taking it for before I decided to see Dr. Karr. It's been 2 weeks and my pain had gone from a 10 to a 3. I can see it going away completely and wonder why I waited now. My performance at college is better. I'm playing better and the coach noticed it. I'm not distracted by pain and I have no need for Tylenol anymore. I didn't know our college offers a chiropractor for the Big 10 & PAC 12. programs. The adjustments feel great. It is now part of my routine to keep my mind body performing at 100%. Thank you read more

I lost hope for how to treat my SCIATICA PAIN. I didn't want surgery and then after years of pain, a friend referred me to this office. They do the DRX9000 Spinal Decompression for disc bulges and sciatic nerve pain. After a month of decompression, I'm feeling better then any office before has ever offered me with treatment. I strongly recommend trying this office before doing back surgery. Dr. Karr is the real deal and the DRX is cleared by the FDA. This is changing my life and gave me back hope for the future! Thank you Dr. Karr and Betty read more

Dr. Michael Karr is an excellent chiropractor. After a bad fall and months of agonizing pain, I am very grateful that I found his office to begin treatment. First and foremost, my initial consult involved Dr. Karr providing a thorough exam asking many important questions to fully understand my discomfort, followed by a careful review of my X-rays. Secondly, he is a terrific adjuster! It's so important to find a chiropractor that knows how and where to correctly adjust. I've now been going to West LA Chiropractic regularly and know I'm in great hands and on the road to recovery. read more

Drs. Karr & Lau make a terrible team. Of course Betty is running the show though. The professionalism and love for what they do is felt. This is one of the last real doctors you'll see before you loose everything to the next generation of In & Out offices that don't give you the time of day. I came in for hip and leg pain that has been in my life for many years off and on. As the years passed though the pain has become much more of an issue. I went to see Dr. Karr and noticed relief immediately but the pain didn't go away completely. Dr. Karr said it go be completely gone and told me the first week of treatment that if the pain didn't disappear completely, he would order an MRI, so he did. Dr. Karr was right, I had a disc herniations with a disc bulge pressing on the nerve that goes down my leg. Dr. Karr suggested Non Surgical Spinal Decompression to continue my treatment. He provided a lot of information for me to research it. I spoke with friends who had back surgery and learned that with insurance they still paid about 20% co pay, so for a back surgery of about $150K, I'd have to pay roughly $30,000. Dr. Karr was a fraction of that, but most people aren't doing the math besides, doing surgery wasn't an option. Surgery was never an option but Dr. Karr told me if I had taken the leg pain more seriously 10 years ago, the damages to the disc would probably be a lot less and thus much easier to treat. I didn't know but made perfect sense. Why hadn't other doctors recommended the DRX9000 Spinal Decompression before? I was told years ago not to worry about it. Darn. I wish I got other opinions but I was young and not really thinking about it. I always thought it would go away, but each time it came back it was always the same type of pain , so I kinda had a feeling something was wrong but was in denial. Anyways, I did the spinal decompression and have zero pain. I'm glad I met Dr. Karr and highly recommend him. Get a second opinion at a minimum. It's a great office and staff. It's good energy and they have modern equipment and therapy's. By the way, I've been adjusted before for many years and Dr. Karr is the best Adjustor I've ever seen. By the way not a lot of doctors have or use the DRX9000 Spinal Decompession. It's highly specialized treatment, so find someone who does. Thank you West LA Chiropractic. Pura Vida. read more

Had been dealing with sciatic nerve pain in my left leg for over a year, had been to multiple physical therapists,orthopedic specialists, each stating a different diagnosis. After near 9 months of waiting I had received an mri, showing three herniated discs. After two corticosteroid injections, the specialists had said there was no hope besides surgery if the pain had not subsided. Thankfully, a friend of mine had recommended Dr.Karr. Initially, skeptical but ultimately made the choice to follow through. Best decision I have ever made. After a near 2 months or so of decompression sessions, my sciatica has gone away completely. Would recommend to anyone experiencing similar situations. read more

First off, I rarely write any reviews at all, just FYI I was a patient of Dr. Karr ages ago. I mean more than a decade ago. I had severe neck pain back then. But I was able to get my life back, thanks to his treatments. This time, my girlfriend found W LA Chiropractic for me, as I was having very hard time to find a doctor who was willing to treat/work with me. Until I went there today, I didn't realize this clinic was actually Dr. Karr's. Not only did he remember me, but he listened to me, gave me adequate treatments so I could heel faster, and helped me with paperwork I needed asap. Many other clinics didn't want to take on my case just FYI... I'd highly recommend Dr.Karr to anyone everyone who needs the best chiropractor in town. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience. He is warm. And he listens to you/work with you. read more

Drs. Karr and Ortiz are the best in the West. Great team, know what they are doing and make you feel better and always welcome in the office. They take time to explain things to you so you understand exactly why things hurt and how they intend to make you better. They also specialize in Decompression. Although this procedure is not approved by Medicare, it is the way to go for back issues so as to avoid surgery. It is not cheap, but if the Docs feel it will solve your problems, it probably will. It worked for me and I highly recommend avoiding surgery and opting for decompression. 5 Star Plus. read more
