After years of searching for someone I trusted, I've only seen Dr. Ji for the last 5+ years of my life. Normal chiropractors would always do the same adjustments every session just to make noises, whereas Dr Ji only adjusts what actually needs attention. Whenever I have an issue he's always helpful on getting me in ASAP and back to working and living my normal life! read more

I've been coming here for treatment for about 7 years now and I continue to keep going. I was very happy to see that even during this time of a pandemic Dr. Ji has been able to stay open and provide the treatment that is always consistent and necessary to keep me on top performance shape. read more

I was hunched over like Shrek ...and now I have the elongated silhouette of the lead dancer for the Joffrey Ballet. People stop me in the street and say ..."Wow ...you have GREAT posture!" I say ..."I know." Since 2008 Ji Lee has treated me and I have not had one single serious back episode in that entire time. Previously, I had been so debilitated that I would be immobilized on my office or home floor. He will not crack your spine like a line of toppling dominoes ...he is thoughtful, knowledgeable and caring. Go...you'll be glad you did. read more

I have been working in the Movie Industry as a top level stunt performer for about 10 years. With all the large amounts of stunts, action, training that we do Dr Ji is a large part to why we can keep going from show to show. He has always left me feeling back to normal. Most importantly Dr Ji will work with and talk with you about how to prevent the injuries and help better your health. Not only myself but a good number of high level stunt performers see Dr Ji. He's a gem! read more

I'm not someone who normally posts reviews, but I was looking up Back in Action online in order to get the address to refer a friend, and came across the Yelp listing. The reason I was referring the friend is because Dr. Ji is truly the best chiropractor I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot. Thankfully, I don't have major slipped disks or anything of that sort, but I do have chronic lower back pain and other issues, partly due to having been a professional gymnast for many years. As the other reviewer mentioned, Dr. Ji always has an upbeat, positive attitude. He's also very unlike many other chiropractors I've been to who don't listen well, and routinely put you on your side and do that "million dollar roll" where everything pops--if you think about it, if one thing is out and you do that, where is the benefit of moving everything else? I like that Dr. Ji is very precise in his adjustments. He is also very gentle, and will stretch you out and wait for your body to be ready to make the adjustment, rather than forcing it. And he is always happy to answer questions and give phone support afterward. I drive from Santa Clarita to see Dr. Ji in Valley Village, which really says it all. I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

I was ragingly anti chiropractors until I met Dr. Ji Lee. He. Is. Yoda. I have been seeing him since 2008. He can fix anything, he is magic. 60% of my back problems were fixed just by talking to the guy, and making some behavioral adjustments, like adjusting the way I sit when I drive, how many pillows I should use when I sleep. He's not a crack, crack, pop, pop, see you later kind of guy. He stretches you out for about 30 minutes and then if there is anything out of alignment he restores it, while taking the time to hear how your week went so he can figure out the source of the problem, "Oh! You had a writing deadline? You have compressed your spine from sitting for too long stretches at a time." Also? The nicest guy you ever want to meet. One of the most morally upstanding humans I have ever met ever. I wish he could be my dentist and my internist too. read more

Okay, as much as I hate to admit it, I'm getting older. And that means the addition of "old folks' complaints" to my already overfull complaint basket. Enter The Bad Back complaint: Helping a friend move had me in such pain that I could barely move. On the recommendation of a different friend, I made an appointment with Dr. Ji Lee and his energy instantly perked me up. Once on the table, I knew I was in good hands. There was no snap-crackle-pop explosion I've associated with chiropractors, just joint alignment and being gentle around the areas of inflammation. I got MAJOR relief that day and though I'm not a regular, I've returned several times when something else was outta whack. Price was SUPER reasonable too. Dr. Ji never fails to impress me by remembering where our conversations left off. Plus, in addition to a smile, I always walk away with some tip on how to go easier on my joints. If you're in pain, go getcherself fixed. read more

Forget whatever preconceived notions you have about chiropractors; Dr Ji. is in a class of his own. He practices what he preaches and he never gives you advice or treatment that he wouldn't offer to his own family. To that end, you leave his office feeling like you're part of his extended family. He truly cares...and that shines through everything he does. Dr. Ji is one of the most talented, compassionate and honest doctors I've met. But amazing attitude notwithstanding, he delivers tangible results. When I came to him nearly 7 years ago, I was wearing two wrist braces and experienced numbness in several fingers. On our first appointment, he told me to ditch the braces (which I did) and, after a few months of treatment, the numbness faded. Today it doesn't exist at all. There is no way I can adequately put into words how appreciative I am for this... it's nothing short of amazing. I'd compare Dr. Ji's treatment to teamwork... he asks that you simply listen to your body and work with him. Trust me, if you cooperate and reciprocate, the rewards are absolutely worth it. After a single visit you'll feel better, but after several appointments, your body and life will change for the better. I'm extremely grateful that I was referred to Dr. Ji and I'd recommend his services without pause. After all these years I consider him equal parts doctor, teacher and friend. He's truly deserving of a 5-Star rating. read more

Hands down the best! Been to many chiropractor and nothing compares. No hippy skippy stuff just a lot of knowledge and relief. Recommended over 10 people and everyone so happy. Couldnt do triathlon's if it wasn't for Dr Ji Lee. Also helped my during my pregnancy. I'm so grateful. read more

I started seeing Dr. Ji back in ... wow... 2006, I think. He was recommended to me by a coworker at the time, because I was in chronic pain. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Ji is personable and charming, but also incredibly knowledgeable. We discussed at length my many issues, and not only did his adjustments (which are gentle and slow and NOT that horrible CRACKPOPCRACKLEPOWPOP that you get with most chiros) begin to give me relief immediately, but he also gave me exercises and tips on how to strength muscles around the problem areas and build better support throughout my body. I've since left my day job, and now work in a career where I am on my feet, constantly moving and lifting heavy items for hours at a time. I'd be crippled with pain if it weren't for all the improvements in my bodily health and strength that Dr. Ji's advice and adjustments have given me. Seriously folks, I COULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS MAN MORE HIGHLY! If you've got pain, go see him.... Immediately!! :) read more

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Lee in February of 2008 regarding an on-going knee problem. I had been to orthopedic doctors, physical therapists and another chiropractor and nothing seemed to be making me feel better or healing me. I was planning on doing my first Ironman in November of 2008 and wanted to do it without being in constant pain and make sure I did not cause permanent damage. He asked me a series of questions, took x-rays and began treating me. He took a different approach to treating me and did not immediately work on my knee. Rather he worked backwards and wanted to find the initial injury as my knee was just the end result. Dr. Lee opened up muscles, put some muscles back into place and realigned me. He is not your typical chiropractor where all you hear is your bones cracking. Dr. Lee helped me complete my first Ironman in 2008. Since then, I have been a regular patient of Dr. Lee and Back in Action and have since completed a total of 5 Ironman all pain free. (minus the normal body sore from completing such a task.) I highly recommend Back in Action!! read more

The best chiropractors I've ever been to! I first started going to Back In Action by recommendation, and I was being treated by Dr. Theo. After he left the practice, Dr. Ji took over my treatment and never missed a beat. Dr. Ji is attentive to your problem and would never, ever skip steps in treating it. My wife and I both love his style of practice and just enjoy our sessions with him in general. It's like hanging out with a friend every time we go in. A friend who is a really good chiropractor. read more

Dr. Ji is amazing, hands down! I have been going to his practice now for about 4 years. Whenever I walk in there with pain, I walk out feeling 100 times better after his treatments. Not only is he an amazing chiropractor, but he is an amazing and inspiring mentor and friend! He most definitely makes you feel at ease, is always so uplifting, and wants what is going to be best for your health. I am so grateful I have come across his practice, and I hope that this review can help anyone out there as well to do themselves a favor and go see him! You will be grateful when you do and you won't be in pain any longer. Dr. Ji is the best Chiropractor ever!!!! read more

About ten years ago my husband had a serious sports injury in his ankle that affected his gait. Doctors were recommending pain medication and expensive surgery to ameliorate this problem, but we decided to get a second opinion from Dr. Lee. He took his time to review my husband's medical history, took x-rays, and conducted a thorough evaluation before recommending an alternative approach. Through chiropractic adjustments and easy to follow at-home exercises my husband was able to regain mobility without any pain or discomfort. We cannot recommend Dr. Lee enough. Give him a try, you won't regret it. read more

A friend recommended Dr. Ji Lee to me in 2009. Up to that point, I'd been in chronic pain for several years from multiple lumbar disc herniations. I'd undergone multiple epidurals, a nerve ablasion and other high-dollar treatments. None of it offered me a lasting solution. So, it is not an exaggeration to say that Ji has changed by life for the better. I experience less pain, fewer set-backs and am able to do far more than I could have imagined before I became his patient. I now lead an active life and credit a lot of that to Ji. What's more, I am doing it without the painkillers that were constantly shoveled at me by orthopedic doctors. Ji understands the body as a whole entity. He spends time with each patient and learns their needs. He uses techniques that focus more on joint health than back cracking. When I overdo it or tweak some random body part, he is right there to put me back together and get me moving again. Honestly, it is like having my own physiotherapist just a phone call away. Like so many others here, I can not recommend him highly enough. read more

I was diagnosed with severe carpal tunnel syndrome and was just about to have surgery when a friend recommended Dr. Ji Lee at Back in Action. He saved me, demonstrated the pain was coming from my neck, and has successfully kept me open and free from pain whenever I need help. I've recommended him to scores of others and every one has become dedicated to his supreme care and genius! And I don't say that lightly, he is a true body genius. read more

Dr Lee is an amazing chiropractor- compassionate and highly gifted. He helped me a great deal when i needed it the most. He has an upbeat and positive energy that is infectious and i always felt better after one of his treatments! read more

Dr. Ji Lee is not only the most thoughtful and caring chiropractor but he is also one of the best around. He literally put my husband's back together twice! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Ji for almost a decade now. Thanks to him I have never had the same recurring injury and I'm a super active person in the stunt business so you know my body takes a beating. He isn't your average chiropractor that just cracks you, he actually takes the time to explain injuries and how to remedy them faster. He is truly professional and a class act!!! read more

I found Dr. Lee through a co-worker and am so glad I did! I began seeing Dr. Lee because of back and hip pain due to a long-term knee problem that was throwing off my gait. Dr. Lee has been keeping my back and hips pain free until I can do my knee surgery. I highly recommend him. read more

Excellent chiropractor and even better person. I have been to many chiropractors over the years and Dr. Ji is the best. Most chiropractors will do a rack and crack in less than five minutes. Dr. Ji takes his time and goes over your whole body to analyze the problems. Then he will release the muscles/connections where the problem is before adjusting which allows the treatment to actually work. He talks to you the whole time to assess any areas of your life that cause the issues like sitting, working on a computer, etc. and offers suggestions on how to improve your back behavior. Wonderful personality and bedside manner and is genuinely concerned for you as a person. Highly recommend! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Lee's for six years. Prior to that, I was plagued with chronic lower back pain. Fitness and an intense exercise regimen had always been a lifestyle and important part of my life,yet was in jeopardy. Unfortunately, doctors and physical therapy were not helping. I had always been skeptical of chiropractors, simply from my prior experience of receiving half hazard adjustments resulting in loud cracking, often times causing more damage than when I came in the door. Yet, the referral from a close friend whom I trusted, lead me to meet with Dr. Lee. From that point forward, my life was changed. Dr. Lee is a true professional with vast experience and knowledge of the body and how it works. From my first appointment, he took extreme care to analyze my body, ask the right questions and fundamentally understand what I do and how I do it. From there he explained what was happening, why, and what changes I needed to do to help him correct these issues. That, along with his careful and remarkable treatment plans have gotten me "back in action" and in the best shape of my life at 42 years old. I am forever grateful. read more

My husband I have been seeing Dr. Lee for four years. Dr. Lee is attentive, humble, respectful, caring and incredibly knowledgeable. His knowledge extends beyond the nervous, muscle and skeletal system. He is up to date with all medical advances and treatments. I always feel like I am in good hands with Dr. Lee! He practices what he teaches and will not recommend something he has not done or tried before. I started seeing him because of back problems but I am currently doing physical therapy for my knee - I fractured it about three months ago during a snowboarding accident. Dr. Lee has stayed up to date with my recovery and when it was time to start my physical therapy I did not hesitate to go back to Dr. Lee. I was confident he would bring my knee and leg back to normal in no time. My husband and I highly recommend Dr. Lee. If you need a chiropractor or a physical therapist or anything sports medicine related - he is your man! read more

I am writing my first review ever to give Dr. Ji 5 stars. I am a composer who works a lot of hours at the computer and the piano. When I first was referred to him over 2 years ago by a colleague, I wasn't able to do sport anymore because my back was so stiff. I had chronic pain in both arms and working was painful. Dr. Ji evaluated my body and gently over several sessions he put me back together. Now I am back running, kick boxing, skydiving, and of course composing. My hobbies put a lot of strain on my body. I see Dr. Ji regularly and hands down he is the reason that I can do my job, and that pain free. He also gave me advice on how to set up my workstation ergonomically correct. Dr. Ji really cares about his patients and going to visit him is a highlight of my week because he is always upbeat and really funny. It's like chiropractic and therapy in one ;-). read more

I have been seeing Dr Lee for years now. He is an amazing healer, and the nicest guy! And he is a great listener too. Before I started going to Dr Lee, I occasionally saw another Doctor. I would get maybe 10 minutes of cracking this or that, and then out the door. Dr Lee is so not that! He listens to what you have to say, and proceeds from there. He recently told me I needed to get an X-ray so he would know what was going on in one area. Even my primary physician didn't seem to think I did. Well, Dr Lee was correct in saying I needed the X-ray, as a problem showed up. And now he knows how to treat it. I HIGHLY recommend him. Do yourself a favor, see Dr Lee! 5 stars not enough! read more

I have always been a big fan of chiropractic treatment but Dr. Ji takes it to another level. He is absurdly knowledgable and precise in his treatment. The best thing about his treatment is that he really takes the time to adjust everything correctly and he really pays attention to your progress to find the root of the issue. On top of all that, he's a great guy who makes treatment pleasant. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and improving people's way of life. read more

What a positive experience! I've seen him only twice now, but the first appointment was such a great experience. Dr. Ji Lee's enthusiasm and energy is infectious. I spent almost 2 hours at my first appointment and only 20-30 minutes of that was an adjustment, and not the typical one, as everyone here has written. He spent quality time with me and talked about how I can make small, adjustments to my life that will help my chronic back pain post surgery and other problems. I have taken these to heart and I'm pleased to say that he was right about everything. You have to do the work he suggests you do outside of the office, just as he says. My pain has significantly improved with his guidance and support. Is it cured, no. Did seeing him help- yes, a lot. read more

I've never written a yelp review before, but I felt I had to. Basically this office refused to see me. I called excited to be a new patient and they told me to hit the road because "I wasn't a referral." Oh cool, so why are you on the internet? Maybe make a secret society instead of a business? WACKOS. read more

I am very active and have had back and neck problems for 35 years. Dr. Ji Lee is such a great chiropractor that the last time I went we realized it had been 2 years since my last visit. He has extensive education in back care is gentle, minimalist, and has taught me how to take care of myself. He is a great guy and I have known some amazing Doctors but he is my favorite. read more

As the daughter of a medical doctor (ER), I was admittedly raised with a suspicion of chiropractors. But Dr. Ji Lee defies the stereotype of chiropractors as "pop and crack" guys. I have known him since 2009 when a close friend referred me to his practice. I liked Dr. Ji immediately for his genial, approachable bedside manner and for his thorough exam. After several years working as an auto show spokesmodel, standing in heels for 10 hours per day, my bones and joints were in need of some adjustment. Much of what Dr. Ji recommended was behavioral-- altering how I drove, sat, slept, and stood. I visited him weekly whenever I wasn't traveling for work, and he kept my posture straight, my hips aligned, and my back pain free. He stretched my tightened muscles and opened joints that were closed or jammed, all through slow movements, stretches, and manipulations. Everything he recommends is something he has incorporated into his own life; his devotion to physical health is remarkable. He knows a lot about fitness and has great recommendations for how to alter your workout routine for the better. Before you begin pain medication or consider surgery, try Dr. Ji. He truly is a healer with a deep knowledge of the human body; when I listen to him, I feel better, less sore, less stiff. And to top it all off, he is an incredibly nice guy. He's very funny, has a great sense of humor, and loves his job. There is no one else like him. He's my favorite medical practitioner. It's too bad he isn't also a dentist and auto mechanic! Five stars are not enough. read more

I have to agree with the last post, amazing. Dr. Ji is funny, smart and when I leave I feel like a new person. I can't recommend him highly enough...go you will not regret it for a second. read more

Dr. Lee is the bomb. I have been seeing him for two years on a referral from a friend, have since referred two other friends here and they love him as well. He has helped me recover from a pinched nerve and whiplash from a car accident, positive attitude, great listener, very thorough, methodical. And this is from one who has had a slew of bad experiences with doctors. Highly recommended. 10 stars. read more

Dr Ji Lee is amazing. Very personalized treatment- my back has never been better, and he keeps my knees aligned for ski season. He spends a half hour per session (a rarity!), plus- since we're both sports fans- we also have a lot of fun talking. read more

Dr. Ji totally understands how to help people with sport injuries. I don't think I could be as physically active as I am without his therapy as well as his advise to help avoid future injuries. i rolled my ankle a few months ago and I couldn't have gotten back to normal without his help. On the many occasions I've overdone it physically, it's comforting to know he'll always make time for me! read more

I have been going to Dr. Ji Lee for the past few years to help with different issues related to my back, hips, neck and (broken) arm. Dr. Ji Lee is fantastic! He has helped eliminate my chronic pains and return to a healthy and comfortable life. Dr. Ji is compassionate, funny and he is a true healer. He is always flexible with scheduling and will go out of his way for his patients. read more

Bottom line... Dr. Lee gave me my life back - three times!!! (both shoulders and lower back) As a professional musician, I'm always twisting, turning and doing things that aren't good for the body over time. Thanks to Dr. Lee, I have range of motion back and can work pain-free! He is 100% thorough and cautious. He never proceeds with ANY treatment until he is completely sure about what's going on. I've been to regular physical therapy places. Their method of treatment is typically 'one size fits all'. Shoulder problem? OK, do this... Ouch! Not always the correct therapy for the situation. Sometimes, the completely wrong thing to do - making the problem worse! (my own personal experience) Dr. Lee treats each patient and situation specifically and in a way that will help the problem get better. He is all about healing and helping his patients -- truly. When you see the word chiropractor, if you think it means 'bone cracker' and five minutes worth of adjustments, thank you very much, see you next time - think again. Dr. Lee works at keeping all the joints open and moving. He spends at least a 1/2 hour with his patients - and may not even 'adjust' anything. He works very carefully. Oh, and bonus: he's the greatest guy, too! Dr. Lee was recommended to me by someone I trust when I really needed help. I'm so grateful. In turn, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lee to everyone. Five stars? How about times a hundred! Evie read more
