Brian Nishimoto, DC

I always look forward to going to Dr. Nishimoto. He is an expert in his field, he takes great care of his patients and he gives honest advice about what to do about different pains. His passion for is trade shows in every aspect of his visit and he is forthcoming about what he can and cannot fix. In 4 visits he has undone a year of pain in my right shoulder, now I continue to see him to prevent the tension from accumulating again. There is no waiting time for the appointment.

Dr. Nishimoto provided comprehensive care — he was attentive to my unique issues, explained his interventions, provided thoughtful recommendations, and listened to my exciting biweekly updates. I had 14 visits with Dr. Nishimoto over a span of 2.5 months for knee pain and back tension. He provided ultrasound treatment, massage, and realigned and cracked me back into a semi-​normal human being. When I came to my first appointment, I had no idea what a chiropractor did and was afraid to get bamboozled. (That said, I was also in a lot of pain and willing to try anything.) The first session was about 45 minutes long and he did a full assessment and came up with a treatment plan. About 6 weeks into my treatment, Dr. Nishimoto said I could taper down from twice a week to once a week sessions. I usually hear horror stories about chiropractors cheating patients, but my treatment was really working! Scheduling was super flexible/​easy and Karen was super friendly and organized.

Really really like this practice. The Dr is very nice and definitely gives a good amount of attention. I’ve been to some practices where I felt like I was being rushed through… Not at all over here.

Brian is super honest and not your typical chiropractor trying to cheat you of your money. He gives you an honest recommendation as to how often you should return for treatment… Never tries to sell you some crazy expensive treatment package like other chiropractors do. He knows a good amount about sports injuries and a great deal about human anatomy, far more knowledgable than your average doctor. That’s what helped me trust his opinion.
I had been experiencing severe neck tension for over NINE years! Every doctor told me to avoid chiropractors and kept testing me for autoimmune deficiencies, to no resolution. Finally, I visited Brian, who happens to have a very fair student rate (he’s a fellow bruin) and the tension on my neck has loosened completely! It’s been the holy grail of treatment for me. I never thought I’d find relief after experiencing pain for so long. He gave me tips to speed up my healing process at home, also.
He’s super friendly and he will chat with you through your treatment and give you a nice massage, beforehand, to loosen up your back (if that’s your treatment area). The secretary is beyond kind and helpful and I’ve never had anything but wonderful customer service from the both of them

Dr Brian Nishimoto is fantastic. Very skilled and enjoyable to be around. I had a severely pinched nerve in my back that was greatly worsened when I tried a physical therapist I found on Unilocal.Dr Nishimoto understood what my body needed to recover and set me on the proper path to recovery. Highly recommend him.

Fantastic. I had chronic neck, shoulder, and trapezius pain for six months. After seeing Dr. Nishimoto for chiropractic (and Studio Brava for physical therapy) for five visits over the course of four weeks, the pain has pretty much completely disappeared. Dr. Nishimoto treated me with a combination of ultrasound, massage, and adjustment (cracking). At his suggestion, I had an MRI which revealed that I had disc herniation in my neck (which is what he had suspected).
Karen (his wife) handles the administrative side and is very sweet and extremely professional. When I was first considering Dr. Nishimoto, she answered all of my questions (and took the time to research and call me back with the answer to the one question she didn’t know immediately).

I’ve never been to a Chiropractor before see Dr. Nishimoto. What was I waiting for? I’ve had a bad back for almost a year and it got to the point that it was keeping me off my bike and making playing with my little kids painful. With one treatment, I felt a difference. Dr. Nishimoto identified my problem areas immediately, He genuinly cared about my wellbeing, so much so that he made time for me on his off day! The office is professional and clean. The staff is super friendly and welcoming.
It was a great experience and I strongly reccommend him to anyone with a lingering pain that needs attention.

Brian is the real deal.
He knows athletes and athletic injuries, and the injuries goons like me get when we try to get in shape. He’s a pretty big UCLA fan, go Bruins! Pretty forgiving on students too.
The initial appointment for my lower back pain involved a thorough diagnostic and x-​ray. At that appointment he began treatment which involved the trifecta of ultrasound, massage and adjustment. Read: he’s not just a joint-​jockey, he treats the whole condition/​region of pain.
I’ve seen Brian for subsequent injuries and he’s continued to be great. His wife runs the front end and couldn’t be nicer! Will definitely be back!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Brian Nishimoto at Westwood Village Chiropractic for about 12 years now. The first thing I’ve got to say is that Dr. Brian has been a life saver to me over the years! He is a caring, compassionate, professional and effective doctor.
Dr. Brian has healed me 100% from four different injuries. One car accident, a construction accident, a traveling accident and a severely sprained toe. The office staff is always extremely friendly, helpful, professional and knowledgeable as well!
My car was rear ended in 1998 on the 405 and I sustained severe whiplash. I went to my HMO and all they told me to go back to work and to pound vicodin. I was in so much pain, I couldn’t even turn my head and the vicodin did nothing! PFFT!!! Luckily a family friend referred me to Dr. Brian who went out of his way to fit me in immediately. He took X-​rays and performed a thorough analysis and immediately started effective and compassionate treatment. His office even educated me about my rights and I received full coverage from my insurance and he healed me completely!
Another time Dr. Brian helped me out was after I severely twisted my back during a construction accident. The first therapist I went to only made it worse! Thank God I was able to get help from Dr. Brian again! He was able to help me with a long distance phone call! When I flew back to L.A. he and his staff went out of their way to fit me in immediately! He performed a thorough analysis and immediately started treatment. He healed my back to 100% as well!
Westwood Village Chiropractic has always taken care of my injuries in like form. Every ultrasound, massage and adjustment helped heal me by leaps and bounds! Dr. Brian also taught me proper stretches, exercises and lifestyle changes to keep this computer nerd from reinjuring himself.
Every treatment and visit has been 100% worth it. What price can you put on your health? To know that I am ALWAYS in good healing hands is priceless! I highly recommend Dr. Brian Nishimoto and Westwood Village Chiropractic!

I was recently rear-​ended in a car accident and need chiropractic care. I found Dr. Nishimoto through my health insurance and have seen him 3 times so far. He did an in depth evalutation prior to working on my back and neck. The first treatment lasted about an hour, and each subsequent one has been about 15 – 20 minutes. I was initially in a lot of pain froom the whiplash, but I have felt positive results from the first treatment. He combines chiropractic care with massage. His office staff has been extremely helpful and friendly.
I highly reccomend Dr. Nishimoto.

The first time I saw Dr. Nishimoto, I was terrified. My neck was killing me, but I’d never seen a chiropractor before and was worried about being in the hands of a medical quack. Brian’s professionalism, down-​to-​earth sense of humor and gentle manner immediately put me at ease. Now he’s my go-​to doc any time I throw out my lower back or can’t fully turn my neck. It’s done wonders for my migraines and jaw pain.
I’ve been going to Brian for years and appreciate the way he gently guides my neck vertebrae back into place without any painful cracks. You can trust him. And his wife, Karen, who runs the office, is extremely nice, too.

Dr. Nishimoto is great.
Totally polite and professional — and he really cares about your health. I never had to wait more than a few minutes and the staff is really polite — which is always welcoming — and yet hard to find.
Dr. N also put ultrasound on my elbow after an ulnar nerve injury, and that really helped too. I have been the 3 DC’s and Brian is the best, by far. I had fallen down on my left elbow and my lefy hand went partially numb — and it would not go away. Being a guitarist, I had to do something to fix it. Coming here totally helped — and he said to ice it 2x a day, which I did. Was fine in 6 weeks.
He also gave me a regimen to keep my back in shape when I exercise. Thumbs up!
