Back Benders

So I woke up in the worst, unbearable pain. Looked up chiropractors from my insurance and found back benders ! Made an appointment and I was the happiest camper. After the first visit I felt a difference. My recovery took 3 sessions, but it was the best experience I had! Dr Betty was great, asked great questions for the diagnosis. I found my go to chiropractor. Hopefully I won’t need it anymore!

Great people & even better service! I got the deep tissue massage from Dina and felt like a whole new person afterwards. I feel like everyone needs this but especially anyone in fitness. You don’t realize how tight your muscles even are until they’ve finally relaxed. They also offer a happy healthy hour with some great prices!

I started coming here because of the super sweet deals Dr. Betty offers for her version of happy hour. Although there are no cocktails served, she offers a discount for the services offered at this office. It is so creative and fun, you can’t get mad there aren’t chicken wings or beers on tap.
Dr. Betty is attentive, kind, and does a heck of a job. Her staff are all very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I started as a chiro patient and started taking pilates with Kim. There are two beautiful reformers in the office and working out with Kim has been amazing.
She is small in stature, but her knowledge and experience is extremely expansive! Her skill set is unending. I feel so much stronger and have noticed how my body has changed with only a handful of sessions.
My husband came in for a massage with Heather and was so impressed. She has the «gift» you are looking for when you need that massage to work out those problem areas.

As a Pilates instructor, I keep myself in pretty good shape. But a month ago I had a crashing blow to my body, when I was in a car accident that totaled my car. Dr. B’s chiropractic has been invaluable to my recovery. Her trigger point and manual manipulation is spot on. The deep heat ultra-​sound has helped me regain my mobility in my neck. And, Heather and Dena’s massages have helped my muscles relax from the trauma and frequent back spasms. Back Benders’ services have greatly improved my range of motion and mobility, allowing me to slowly get back to training my clients.

Dr. Betty is a wonderful chiropractor! I work in an office, so I am sitting all day, and I feel the effects of this mostly in my back and neck.
She takes her time while treating me and makes sure she understands exactly how I feel before taking action. I’ve gone in for regular adjustments for about two months now. Each time, she does traction with electronic stimulus, heat and stretching. She then spends about 10 minutes doing pressure point work on my back and neck. This is the most helpful part of the adjustment! It makes the whole process gentler and easier over all. Her treatment is not aggressive, as with some chiropractors, and I have never been sore after treatment.
Additionally, her office is clean and inviting, and the staff is super friendly and down to earth.
I am so happy to be supporting a skilled LATINA chiropractor who cares about her patients. I highly recommend!

Why are there not more places that combine Chiro, pilates and massage?! It’s genius and all of the service providers are incredible. Dr. Betty and Kim are amazing. So grateful to have found this spot.

I’ve never been to a chiropractor before Dr. Betty and she is hands down one of the most approachable, down-​to-​earth, professionals I’ve met. She takes the time to listen to what hurts, explains what she’s going to do, and afterward, what I can personally do to help myself, all in a clear and gentle manner.
The most surprising part of my experience there was how much getting an adjustment helped with my frequent headaches and carpal tunnel syndrome. I figured going to a chiropractor would help with any back problems, but the moment Dr. Betty adjusted my neck, shoulders, then wrists, it was a whole new world.
I cannot sing her praises enough and I recommend her and her office to basically everyone looking for a natural way to pain relief.

I’ve been going crazy for the last 13 days. I’ve had a migraine that just would not go away. I would go to sleep and wake up with it. I tried medication, caffeine, oils, home remedies. basically anything I googled… then yesterday my sister made an appt for me with Dr Betty, my chiropractor. I woke up this morning migraine free. Praise the Lord. Thank you Dr. Betty.

If it wasn’t for Dr. Betty and her team, I’d be stuck in bed day-​after-​day doped up on the multitude of pain killers all the other doctors gave me.
I had a serious accident 2 years ago while working on a film set that left me with multiple injuries to my back and spine. I was completely immobile and unable to do anything except exist really. I spent these past 2 years in and out of various orthopedic offices with no results… they just filled my pockets with those pain killers and sent me on my way.
Then a few months ago I came across the highly-​rated Back Benders on Unilocal and decided to try an alternate method of treatment. They had everything an injured back could hope for… nonaggressive adjustments, traction, heat packs, ultrasound, e-​stems, trigger-​point massage, pilates, you name it! And I tried them all! Every single one brought me relief and I can honestly say I feel closer to a healthier me than I ever have since the injury. Each visit to Back benders continues to do so. I couldn’t imagine a recovery without this wonderful place…
And they’re such a great team too! When you walk into Back Benders, you instantly feel like part of he family. Everyone is smiling and full of joy, and eager to help you feel the same.
Dr. Betty has even put great care into decorating the place like a spa retreat, with modern furnishings, beautiful plants and healing crystals, relaxing music, and healthy treats and refreshments in the waiting room. You instantly feel at ease in there. And even though there’s plenty of interesting books to read while you wait in the comfy chairs, you’ll never be waiting long. They’re great at being punctual.
I really can’t say enough about this place. Give it a try and you’ll soon see what I’m saying. And with the wonderful prices and payment plans they have, you can’t afford NOT to try it! They make the process as stress-​free as possible on your wallet, with a 100% focus on getting your back healthier and stronger. So do your body a favor and go to Back Benders.
I know I say this every time I see you, but thanks Dr. B :) For everything!

I started going here for chiropractic adjustments last year when I threw out my hip after a kickboxing class. It felt as though I had a baseball wedged in my side and it hurt to sit and move side to side. Dr. Betty is very attentive to detail and takes her time which makes all the difference. My back felt a lot better the next day and whenever I need routine adjustments I come here. Also, when I am able to I love to get a 1 hour massage by Dena followed by an adjustment. This place is great and I highly recommend it!

I *heart* Dr. B! She has taken care of my whole family. We referred people, she took care of them. She’s like the fixer in a good way! You want be cracked right Bawda bing Dr. B’ll do youse.

This place gets an extra star for being able to book an appointment online. I ended up here — desperate and in pain — after not being able to reach anyone for over a week at my regular chiro’s office. Dr. Betty delivered. Between her treatments and a couple of massages by Dena, I am doing much better. Plus there is always parking, it’s easy to find, they always answer the phone during business hours, and did I mention they have online booking? Not going back to the other one.

Love this place! Dr. Betty and her staff are so kind. Not like other places I’ve been. The place is super cute and stylish at the same time. I’ve always had a fear of having my neck adjusted, but Dr. Betty talked me through it and made it seem like a piece of cake! I’m now hooked and try to go at least once a month. Try it, you’ll love her.

I went to Back Benders for massage therapy and was pleasantly surprised. Dena gave me a very good massage, even better than Burke Williams! I will definitely come back here again. The staff is very courteous and the facilities are very clean.

I have tried multiple chiropractors in LA and dr Betty is great. She spends 15−45min adjusting me with multiple treatments depending on what I need that day. She takes insurance or she allows you to buy a plan of upfront adjustments and them submit to insurance yourself. It’s super affordable and amazing. They also have two great massage therapists on staff that are both wonderful and also affordable. ! I highly recommend this place :)

My friend and I got into a car accident at the end of Jan. We were rear ended and had severe back and neck whip lash. I’m sooo glad we found Backbenders. They are a one stop shop. Chiro, massage and pilates all in one spot! There is always parking and the location is amazing, with a Trader Joes across the street. After appointments I can get my grocery shopping done. Very convenient.
We started going to Dr. B for chiro and adjustments. It really helped. Dr. Betty knows what she’s doing. I have a little baby and Dr. B even let me bring the baby with me so I could get a quick adjustment. Vanessa, the receptionist held the baby while I was with Dr. B. Vanessa is really sweet and always greets us with a smile.
Lulu has been giving us massages and teaching us pilates. She’s great at both things. Her massages really helped my back and neck.
Lulu is an amazing pilates instructor. She makes working out so fun! She has a great laugh and never gets mad at us for constantly yelling and dropping the f bomb. Which we do every time she makes us to the hundred. (abdominal move) Lulu challenges you without making things impossible. She switches it up and is always entertaining. Lulu also customizes the workouts to what your specific goals are.
I highly recommend Back benders!

Im not on who is big on words so here it goes. Dr B is the real deal to make you feel good again. Shes fun, smart and takes the time to get it right. And one hell of a baker too!!!
Nessa the office local Latina will put a smile on your face every time. Shes FUN!!!
AND! you need massage? Lulu will do you some justice… and Pilates too!!. I gotta try that.
DR B DR B ITS THE PLACE TO BE TO GET YOUR BACK BENDER ON AND TO GET HEALTHY!
P BOOGIE IS OUT!!!

After 2 days of being in pain and feeling like Zoolander (I can’t look the right or down), I begged the husband to take me to a chiropractor. I didn’t want to go to just any chiropractors who have that car salesman attitude — trying to rope you into chiro care with the price of a car’s down payment.
So thanks to you Unilocalers here, I found the Back Benders & Dr. Betty! As an establishment, Back Benders tell you upfront how much you’ll be charged. No hidden fees or hard selling. This is a big deal for me since I had a crappy chiropractor in the past and I’m on a budget.
I found Dr. Betty to be warm, attentive and effective. She got to all my trouble spots, adjusted me, and my neck felt ALOT better after her adjustment. I felt like I stood taller, straighter. Dr. Betty is great!
I will definitely BE BACK and I highly recommend this place for their great services, and reasonable prices that I can come back for long term maintenance.

went here because I’ve had a tension headache for the past 2.5 weeks and the Unilocal reviews seemed decent, not to mention it’s close to home. I booked on line which I really liked and choose my price. Got to my appt, wait time wasn’t too bad and got adjusted. When it came time to pay my $ 45 went to $ 75! Ok, so I wrote it off as first consult though I just wanted to be adjusted. I went back for a follow up 30min massage to work out my neck and shoulder and it was a 25min massage and not nearly deep enough to work out my kinks.
I’m giving it 3 stars because the staff is friendly and they’re website is decent

I can only apologize for not writing this review sooner. Dr. Sean and the entire staff and Backbenders are the kindest, most helpful, most honest, most logical people I have ever met.
I have been to several places for massages in LA but none has been as transformative as the work I received here. My most recent experience was going to see Dr. Sean and Jacob. I have two, not one but two, ear infections. I have been to UCLA, I went to the Emergency Room yesterday in so much pain and they gave me new ear drops and vicodine. Nothing helped.
I walked into the office today, sobbing. The women at the phone is always so nice to me but today she was so sympathetic. Dr. Sean rubbed arnica and some Chinese medicine and did some cracking and popping of my neck. He then sent me over to Jacob who did an acupressure massage on my lymph nodes and face.
Huge difference! I haven’t eaten anything in 3 days and I am eating! My ears are still clogged but I feel dramatically better.
The other issue they helped me with my right shoulder did this clicking popping nonsense. An old sports injury which I then added waitressing, bartending, cocktailing and teaching to just torture it. I thought my life would always have a bit of pain to it. But after 2 sessions with Dr. Sean and a massage with David and one with Jacob (months later) I have no pain in my shoulder.
I like the massage where people tear your flesh off your bones and put it back. I know, vulgar, but rare to find and David and Jacob hooked it up. Jacob is the first massuse that I almost «tapped out» of his massage. After that, I felt my shoulder move on its own back to place.
I appreciate that everyone there will explain to you what they are doing and why and that they offer yoga and pilates classes. A lifestyle of change.
Personally, my health insurance covers a portion of my sessions but they always have specials and are willing to to work with you. I cannot say anything but good about Backbenders.
