Superb and talented chiropractor -- one of the best I've ever experienced. He is a gifted healer and absolutely recommended.

The best place and the BEST chiropractor ever! Brandon Takahashi is extremely PROFESSIONAL, PATIENT, KIND, Punctual and gives very good advice! I have seen patients of all ages come out of his office with a smile and relief at having been treated with such care, including me. Thank you Doctor and thank you to the whole team who are really amazing as well! I always recommend you and your team 100%!!!! Elodie read more

Amazing the best CHiro ever! Love excellent- thank you! Very intuitive and advanced. I feel he is the best chiropractor ever.

This chiropractor is a scam artist. I looked for a local chiropractor to help my 34 year old husband with pain in his shoulder. My husband works out regularly, is in great shape, and likely just pulled a muscle. Should have just sent him to an orthopedist.... When he went in, Takahashi convinced my husband that it had something to do with my husband's unaligned hips (???). While anyone would be very skeptical, as was my husband, he still tried to keep an open mind. Takahashi told him he needs a 6-8 week, 2x per week treatment plan. After the first treatment, my husband could barely walk. The chiro told him to keep ice on it and that it was normal. My husband came in for pain in his shoulder and now had to nurse horrible hip pain. When addressing concerns, the chiro told him to continue his treatment plan and that it should get better. He continued treatment, unfortunately, desperate to now alleviate this horrible new hip pain caused by Takahashi vs the original shoulder issue he came in for. Finally a few weeks in he had to stop. Now, it's been several weeks and my husband has been in such great pain, he needs to take ibuprofen every day to just be able to walk/sleep. This is an absolute, horrible nightmare. Finally, my husband went to an Orthopedist, to check out both his shoulder and now hips. The Dr said that the "treatments" have now caused a bulging disc and is now exposing a sciatic nerve, there wasn't much that could be done, and that it was a grave mistake to have ever allowed any hip alignment for shoulder issues as they are not connected the way the chiro explained. Now my husband has to learn to live with chronic hip pain, praying that it will one day somehow dissipate. However hips likely won't just move back to the way it once was, so now it's just been horrible and I feel incredibly guilty for sending him there. I am posting so that people know to avoid this chiropractor at all costs. I am going to consult an attorney to see what options there are, because nobody should be allowed to do this to people. read more

Didn't really work for me bc mine was muscular but it really helped my wife. He will take a neck X-ray and show u how it's not how it is supposed to be. read more

See all

I have been seeing Dr Takahashi for approximately 10 years. He has helped me tremendously and it's always a pleasure to go into his office. Maria his from desk is amazing she has great customer service. I have referred many friends to him and everyone has been pleased with his care. My family continues to also get treated by him. Besides being a great chiropractor he is also a great person. read more

I went to Dr. Brandon's office once with a free exam coupon I got off a bulletin board at whole foods. I visited his Corinth location near the 405. Dr. Brandon was on vacation in Panama doing community service. Basically, this office is like the used car or door-to-door kitchen knife salesperson version of chiropractic care. The receptionist must make a cut or something. Before anyone saw me for my "free" exam - which ended up costing $85 FYI when they're done with you - the woman took me into a room and tried to sell me on a crazy payment plan! Like, how can they know without ever looking at me that I need to go into 4x a week intensive chiropractic care? She called it the "$99" plan, and, in cheap sales style, took out a pen and wrote down "99." As in, for the first week, I come in 4 times at $99 each. Then, the next week, she wrote down $89. As in, I come in 4 times at $89 each. She repeated with $79 and $69, I think finishing off with a lifetime price of $59 a session thereafter. I asked her, well, that seems like a lot of money (I later calculated it as $1200!!), and I don't have any idea of whether I even like chiropractry? She told me that "Dr. Brandon wants to heal you, Dr. Brandon wants to help." And, that, by the way, there was no cure, this treatment was "forever." I kind of felt like I was in a cult. The office has at least 5 or 6 signs instructing patients to refer their friends and family. There are small signs of Dr. Brandon holding up 3 fingers, as there are 3 rules: 1. Do your exercises 2. Come on time for your appointments 3. Refer your friends and family. Frankly, it was all a bit much. I never went back. I now go downstairs to Dr. Karr, who is excellent. And, by the way, Dr. Karr charges in the $49-$60-something range per visit, from the get-go. read more

I am new to the area and was happy to have found that a chiropractor's office walking distance to my apartment. Sadly, my search for a good chiropractor still continuing. The chiropractor I used to see before I came to LA, he took time to warm up the areas of pain with heat pads, massage, then adjust - in a private room for full hour with co-pay. I was so used to be spoiled by my old chiropractor and I was VERY surprised by the way Dr. Takahashi's office operates. You will be treated with many other patients on beds next to each other and he makes adjustments one after another for a few minutes. Then you will proceed to do some exercise yourself. You will walk out of the office in 15 - 20 minutes. I understand that LA is expensive place and he needs to see as many patients in a given hour to pay rent, staff and all but come on! Is this standard in LA?! His office keep sending me 50% off postcards to get me to come back. Even a half off, I won't go back - sorry. read more

I initially went to see Dr Takahashi for knee pain after jumping around in an unsafe matter while working out. He immediately made my knee pain diminish and went straight to work on my lower back and hips. It's been such a relief. I highly recommend making an appt and opening yourself up to a new world. read more

I'm going to admit that RS. has a point. A valid point. It does seem like a bit of a cult. Frankly, although I understand the idea of ongoing chiropractic care for some of us it is financial reality that we can only "afford" to come when we actually need it. I went to Dr. B for several months after another chiropractor really messed me up. He totally fixed a shoulder issue I've had ongoing for a while and made a bit of a difference in the lower back pain which started after I saw "the other guy". He helped my knee a lot. I'd give his actual skill 5 stars. I referred my husband and another friend and my husband was super unhappy at being "cracked" aggressively each time. He prefers a more gentle treatment and had said so. Unfortunately I have to give his office communication, hard core sales pitching (he is careful not to do the selling himself but there are signs everywhere) and the sudden change in pricing policy mid treatment zero stars. When I started a single adjustment was $20 then it was my full copay $45?? Not sure what happened. Especially when I see how much my insurance is paying out. If I could drop in anytime for $20 it might be different. I also found it frustrating that some visits would last 3 minutes and other 40 depending on how busy the office is making it necessary (after my first parking ticket) to park at the Marshalls / Starbucks shopping center a block away rather than buy an hour worth of parking just to be back outside 5 minutes later. read more

Was recommended by a friend because her family including children have been going for years. At first I was hesitant because my baby was 10 months old but after hearing the success rate with ear infection and his not healing I had to take him in.. I was relieved to know as well they offer a sliding scale for customers. This helped out tremendously.. It's now been almost 5 months and I take him once a week to keep up so he stays aligned since now he falls. I have also tried it now and after one time my left side of body feels much better and I feel revived and gaining my true self back. It would good to say I feel lighter all over head and neck and body. Omg... Get down there and get your power on!! read more

I started my adjustments after I had a car accident. I didn't know what to expect about chiropractic care but he was very good at explaining how it works. During the first visit, he did resistance and range of motion tests. He also made baseline x-rays on the areas that are affected. I also like the part where he does health teaching before starting the whole treatment. He touched base on how medications (prescription or over the counter) affect our system. He also discussed how important keeping the body alkaline everyday. He helped me a great deal. I've only had about 13 sessions and I noticed an improvement in my lower back and cervical area. Also note that he has a very friendly staff. The only reason I gave four stars is because of the parking. I wish services like this has a private parking for customers. But what can I expect, this is LA right? I've been coming three to four times a week and even though it's easy to find metered parking areas, it still adds up. Overall, I recommend Dr. Takahashi's services. read more

LOVE this man! He knows so much in his feild and is so knowledgeable in so many other area's as well. When going in to get my back adjusted, I mentioned that my stomach had been hurting, and he fixed that too! He is great! The only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is because sometimes the office is a bit chaotic and full of people. But receptionists are great and so is the DR. so its makes up for that. I have reffered ALL my friends to him. read more

I've had a LOT of massages in my life, but without a doubt in my mind, JACQUIE is the single best massage therapist I have ever encountered. 100% the BEST. Do yourself (and your overall health/wellness, stress levels, etc) a favor and schedule an appointment with this miraculous massage therapist ASAP. read more

VIP member of my maternity team!!! Dr. Brandon is a saving grace. I've seen him 1-2 times a week throughout my pregnancy. Never liked chiros before but he is always upbeat, I mean always. He has a healthful solution for everything and is very rooted in great nutrition. He's made better recommendations for solutions to ease those little hickups along the pregnancy road than any of my other care providers. He frees me of any blocks and discomforts (including digestive issues). The office also worked with me financially to make sure I could afford the treatment I desired during this time. Also - and I met a mom in the office one day who did this - if you are having a home birth and get stuck at some level of effacing, Dr. B will COME TO YOUR HOUSE and adjust you. The success stories are impressive :) The staff is awesome. Go go go!!! (And you should be able to get a your consultation (first visit) for free - just call ahead and make sure.) read more

Dr. B is so in tune with his gift of healing!! ALL my family, friends & clients go to him now!! His office is my first destination at the slightest tingle in my throat, twinge in my neck or back and after any major injury!! He is one of my key ingredients that helps me maintain a high level of health and continues to share gems of knowledge about nutrition and how the health of my spine translates to my quality of living!! If you are new to Chiropractic or a regular make his office your next destination for optimum health!!! Thank you for ALL you do Dr.B. ;-) read more

Having been to a bad chiropractor then to a good one but he retired I was anxious to find another great one. I shopped around and found Dr T. He has helped me tremendously. I work on my feet and have many prior injuries. Not only does he show me how to maintain, but to improve my skeletal structure. I had a dislocated shoulder that should have been a trip to the MRI and pain meds. Nope, Dr Takahashi had me back at work the next day. Btw I had to leave work in major pain the day prior. I'm a very holistic person and this is s great doctor. read more

Friendly environment, straight to the issue I had, efficient in finding solutions to my problems and very professional. To me the best chiropractic adjustments I received in California. Prices very affordable for me and my family. All the chiropractor assistants speak spanish making it very easy for me to communicate. Thanks Dr. Brandon, Jeannette and Diane read more

Dr. Takahashi is an EXCELLENT chiropractor! He truly helped me in one treatment. I appreciate that he does muscle strength testing - very forward thinking, and a way to get to the issue. It's no surprise that his office is always filled with people - he's in high demand! Have been referring like crazy - he deserves the referrals!! read more

Brandon Takahashi is an excellent chiropractor. He is competent and patient and takes the time to explain things to me, and I admit that I am sort of a high maintenance patient. His office has a positive vibe and his staff are friendly. They also accept insurance, which for me, sealed the deal. Parking at Takahashi Chiropractic can be tricky (as parking often is in Los Angeles), but when I don't feel like parking at a meter (which there are plenty of), I find that I can get by through parking in nearby store parking lots (now that I am a regular, my visits are very brief and I can be out within 10 minutes after my adjustment). Please check him out. My consultation and initial exam were FREE, and I felt that he spent time explaining the issue and answering all my questions. He is great. read more

In February I started experiencing some significant lower back pain. I was concerned about what it could be, and since my health insurance isn't the greatest, I figured I would try chiropractic first to see if that was the problem. I hadn't been adjusted in some time. I searched Groupon in tandem with Yelp and settled on trying Dr. Takahashi. The Groupon deal was quite good, and even though it required three visits over five days, I was treated professionally: he had x-rays taken and demonstrated the problems in my neck and explained how chiropractic could assist. He has very inexpensive family plans and now my whole family visits 2-3 times a week. The original back pain is gone and my posture and alignment are in much better condition. Highly recommended for chiropractic on the Westside. read more

Dr. Takahashi is fabulous. For the last three years, I have come to him for neck, back and knee pain. He has helped me every time. My 17-year-old daughter also has received relief and guidance from Brandon. He meets with all new patients and explains chiropractic services and techniques and how they benefit your body. He teaches us exercises and he is affordable and accessible. I recently had radial head replacement prosthetic surgery and Brandon worked with my arm and mobility and strength are returning. Brandon shares his wealth of information regarding naturopathic and alternative healing and ways of maintaining optimal health. He has great books in his office and is a shining star that walks his talk; always looking on the bright side a living example of " you are what you think." I've seen him work on dogs and babies. He's a remarkable chiropractor, who really cares about people and helping them live health pain-free lives. read more

I have been coming to Dr. Takahashi for a little over 2 years now. During my 2nd pregnancy when I could barely walk at the end, due to my pelvis being out of alignment.. and since then he's helped me out of so much discomfort. I work very long hours on my feet in the film industry. I had been going for my back when needed for a while. When I once mentioned shoulder pain I'd had for 2 years that was preventing me from my favorite exercise, swimming. He set it straight in 2 sessions. Felt like a miracle. As well as wrist pain that frequently bothers me. After a simple adjustment the pain generally goes away for quite a while. Until i throw it out again. Seriously, not sure I could live without him now. He has helped take away Pain I thought was just a part of my life if have to learn to live with. And, I'll mention that I used to be skeptical about seeing a chiropractor and being dependent on it. But, it's so worth it. Also, he's very gentle. read more

I've been a client with Dr. Takahashi for about a year and a half. Dr. Takahashi came to my labor after my 8lb 4oz baby was stuck in the birth canal for 3 hours. My contraction power was decreasing and I was fading out of strength. Takahashi did a series of adjustments between my contractions, speeding them up and noting the best position to deliver in. After he arrived it was an hour that I delivered my baby boy from the squat position in my apartment bedroom. Dr. Takahashi saved me from having a vacuum birth or being transported to the hospital for a c-section. Dear Dr. Takahashi, I thank you with all my heart. read more

Dr. Brandon is the BEST, period! Over the last 25 years I have been to numerous Chiropracters for my back, neck and feet. Dr. Brandon has helped me the most by far. Not only does he treat your body, he also treats your mind. He teaches you how to take care of your body in order to prevent issues. I love his proactive approach to my health. Of course when I do something to tweak my neck or body, he is there to put everything back in place. I have been going to Dr. Brandon for the last 12 years and intend on seeing him for the next 50 (god willing). Diane and Jeanette are the best too! read more

Takahashi Chiropractic is the only way to go for physical and spiritual healing. Thanks for always being there Dr. Takahashi read more

I did not have a good experience here. felt that I was not appreciated as a patient; staff was impatient and did not answer my questions very well at all. I thought that the customer was King; or maybe that is an outdated saying; customers nowadays as well as patients are more like paupers and serfs I guess. read more

I should have read the reviews on the other Yelp page 'Takahashi Chiropractic' before seeing Dr Takahashi. All of the more recent 2016 reviews are on this other page and are awful, averaging out to 2 stars total. Went in with a Groupon (X-ray, exam, massage) for an old rib fracture injury that had been aggravated. I have never seen a chiropractor before and had no idea what to expect. The massage The massage was administered first, before any exam or input from the Dr. It was hard, real hard. I was in tears and the masseuse (who was very kind and personable) kept the conversation going to keep my mind off the painful kneading. After a while something popped in my rib cage which hurt like hell. The exam Was a joke. After explaining my situation the Dr. proceeded to tap my stomach and tell me that I had bad gas. Three times. I had to refocus him, telling him that I wasn't there for gas and that I really wanted the X-ray to ensure the the old fracture that had been aggravated wasn't refractured. He insisted the X-ray wasn't needed and he knew exactly what was wrong, so I had to continue to ask for it. The X-ray The Dr forgot to tell the desk staff not to give me the X-ray, so after the 'exam' I was brought into the X-ray room where the technician spent 5 minutes working on a technical issue with the machine. Finally they went and got the Dr who came in and again insisted I didn't need an X-ray. I insisted, at which point he showed the technician how to turn the machine on. The technician then took the first X-ray which didn't come out usable, took a second which was the same and finally found a winner with the third. No lead apron or groin covering was offered during the 3 X-rays. I was told we would be looking at the X-ray during the next visit. The adjustment Being in so much pain the Dr offered an 'emergency adjustment' for an additional $60. Seeking relief I said yes. I was lying on my back where he rolled me to my side, hugged me, put a fist under my spine and then rolled me back and pushed down. Again something popped. I paid the additional $60 and scheduled the follow up. That evening About 4 hours later the pain in my rib area began to increase and I became short of breath. This intensified, and when I looked in the mirror the entire rib cage area was heavily bruised from sternum to spine. And it got worse. And worse. And worse to the point where I couldn't rotate, cough without pain or hold my 3mo old daughter. I called the Dr office an hour before their closing time and got the voice mail, so I left a fairly urgent message needing to know if I was in trouble. The next morning The Dr calls me back. I tell him what's going on and he responds with 'there is no way you are bruised' so I offer to send pictures. He gives me his email, and as I am in the process of sending the pictures he changes his mind and asks me not to send them. I ask him if he cares or not, and he says that he knows what's wrong with me and doesn't need to see the pictures. I insist he see them because the pain and brusing is so bad, so he finally agrees. He receives the pics a few seconds later and responds by saying 'there is no way we did this to you, I have no idea if you fell on it after the visit.' At this point I am not only scared that I have been reinjured and in a lot of pain, but I'm now getting upset that he is trying to dodge accountability before helping me. He again insists I have gas. I demand that he look at the X-ray to see if the ribs had been refractured. He doesn't want to, so I keep demanding. He finally agrees, we hang up. A few min later he calls me back and says that the X-ray isn't great and he can't see anything clearly in it, ad that I should come back in for an adjustment. I tell him I'll think about it and we hang up. The second opinion I get in to see another chiropractor at The Goodlife. I explain what's going on and they are appalled that Dr Takahashi would administer treatment before understanding what was going on with me via exam and X-ray. They assure me there would be no massage or adjustment due to the amount of brusing still present and that we would be taking several X-rays and looking at them together during this visit. Sure enough they found the old fracture, which had not been rebroken thank goodness. They did find that Dr Takahashi had likely knocked ribs out of place in my spine that had begun to move back into place on their own, based on my explanation of the pain since visiting Dr Takahashi. The moral Dr Takahashi is a scam artist that doesn't care about his patients. The office is covered in testimonials, upsell signs and pictures of him. His willingness to treat before understanding, eagerness to upsell adjustments and go-to denying of accountability is risky and in the end really injured and had me believing he had rebroke my rib. The pictures say it all. Avoid if you value your health. read more

I had jaw pain, shoulder pain, hip pain, and knee pain. He fixed me! I love Dr. Takahashi he such a great doctor it's crazy how good he is!

Dr. Takahashi is an amazing resource! His caring & insightful approach helped me through a very tough neck injury. He made me feel at ease while impacting my health in a noticeably positive way. I can't convey my gratitude throughly enough. Thank you Dr! read more

Ever hear the quote "You don't know how bad you feel until you feel better"? I feel sooo much better! I'm a former gymnast and athlete and been in a couple car accidents (neither my fault), Dr. Takahashi is fixing me! Not just my bones, my allergies have decreased and I feel like I have more energy and brain power. His staff is great and friendly and I've liked the energy of his clientele. If you are looking for a great Chiropractor, definitely check him out! You will be amazed and feel amazing. read more

I've always called Dr. Takahashi "the magician". I had a severely dislocated disc in my lower back from a sports incident combined with years of poor posture and my lower back that day just completely gave out. My L5S1 was off by an inch and a half so you can imagine the great pain I was in. I was referred to by a co-worker who had given me stellar recommendations and I immediately went in as an emergency. I remember being in so much pain that I was unable to sit or fully stand up. All I could do was stand half way in a bent over position. I will never forget my very first visit where I was in the waiting room standing in a bent over position with my hands on my knees with other patients staring at me. You can imagine how embarrassing that looked. That day Dr Takahashi was able to centralize the pain with his adjustments so that I could at least walk home standing which was a life saver. From there it took seeing him 3 times a week down to twice a week down to once a week over a 1 year period to eventually make a full recovery. Thanks to his adjustment work and most importantly the homework he would give me which I did everyday in between visits I was eventually able to make a full 100% recovery. Dr Takahashi's goal is to help you make a full recovery so you can go back to a normal life, not to keep you coming back forever. Full 5 stars from me. read more

This is a long overdue review. I've been going to Dr Brandon for over 10 years and improved my health and well being every time I went. I was very sceptical of going to a Chiropractor and only went because my headaches and shoulder pain was so bad, that I felt I had nothing to lose and was tired of taking pain killers every day. A good friend of mine highly recommended Dr Brandon as " I've seen Chiropractors around the world, but he is the one". So I went and he got rid of my neck and shoulder pain, mostly caused by working at a computer and not sitting right. I barely take any pills and feel healther and more flexible as I ever have. These days, Dr Brandon is part of my triathlon training program. I couldn't compete and train that intensivley without his adjustments and treatments of my injuries. I also prefer that he is very efficient and I am not spending hours at the Chiropractor for the same result. This might not be everyone's preference, but it is great for people with busy schedules. read more

I've been going to Dr. Brandon for over 12 years, and would recommend him to anyone who is seeking relief from pain. He and his staff are not only professional and friendly, but offer the kind of customer service you rarely see these days. He is the best Chiropractor to be found anywhere in Los Angeles County. He's that good, that I would drive a very long way to remain in good hands with him (pun intended)! read more

I've been going to Dr. Takahashi for over a year to help with chronic neck and shoulder pain. I used to need a 2 hour massage every week, but now all I need is 2 quick trips to Dr. T. After my insurance was used he offered a very affordable monthly plan so I could continue care. He is very patient and has great resources for natural care and healing. read more

My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Brandon for the last two years and we go to him 2-3 times per week. My husband started seeing him after he fractured his ribs in a biking accident and I started seeing him when I was about 4 months pregnant. He helped me a lot during my pregnancy! I had a speedy labor and I really believe that it was due to all the adjustments I received. We started taking our daughter to Dr. B when she was two weeks old. She was born with a loose hip and the doctors had actually considered putting a cast on her, but luckily Dr. B fixed the problem and her hips are all better! We see Dr. B more than we see our regular doctors, he can help us get better with an adjustment, whether it's a cold, an ear infection, or back pain. I highly recommend Dr. Brandon Takahashi!! read more

I ended up here trying to find Dr Brandon's mailing address to send him a 'thank you' card for taking such good care of a patient we had referred to him. I am a chiropractor and we received a call from someone in LA asking for a good chiro. We were given the name of Dr Brandon from a few colleagues. Long story short, we just received a 'thank you' card from this person who was grateful for the care they received in Dr Brandon's office. The negative review above is very odd., and at complete odds with the fees we understand he charges. It was not 99 per session; it was 99 per WEEK if you chose to go for 4 visits. That is less than 25 per visit (not 1200!!!). That is quite the BIG mistake! "Dr Brandon was away in Panama doing community service..." read more

I threw my back out badly last summer and could not work for two weeks. I couldn't even bend over to wash my face. I was referred to Dr. Takahashi by my acupuncturist who i LOVE... I trust her, so I tried him out. Now I refer all my massage clients to him! His rates are so affordable but that's not why I love him. He not only really cares, but he is a walking wealth of information. He gets you in and out so you can get back to work. I feel like he really saved me so I can work and support my family. I absolutely LOVE his staff. They are so sweet and soft-spoken. He also has a very good massage therapist on staff. My only regret is I wish I had met him much sooner. read more

I've been going to see Dr. Brandon at least once a week for well over 10 years now. he changed my life by teaching me that chiropractic care isn't just about adjusting your back. it's about whole body wellness. i stand at my job 8+ hours a day and have for years. i lived with constant pain for years and after starting regular adjustments with Dr. B, that became a thing of the past. i was also a person who was constantly getting sick. my regular 4+ colds a year are long gone. i haven't been sick, AT ALL, in almost 2 years. I think if skeptics could put away their preconceived notions about what chiropractic care is and just be open to the healing and wellness, they would see how truly life altering it can be. All the money in the world can't buy you a feeling as good and having your body function at it's optimal level!! Not to mention, Brandon is one of the coolest most compassionate people I've ever met! Love him and his sweet staff, Diane and Jeanette. read more

I was fired from the practice and told he could refer me to someone else. This was definitely a case of the doctor and staff not wanting to see me as a patient anymore and getting rid of me. Which I think is unethical and possibly illegal. I've since found a really great chiropractor who doesn't have personal issues with patients. read more
