I am not exaggerating when I say that Dr El-Souki is the best! Dr. El-Souki is not just a doctor or chiropractor, he is a healer! I was in a motorcycle accident in November 2017 and injured my lower spine. I couldn't sleep on my back, lay on my belly, nor lift heavy weights at the gym. Over time, this lead to more complications, such as not being able to stand for prolonged periods of time, neck pain, and shoulder blade pain. I was seeing another chiropractor before him for about 6 months, but her treatment did nothing for me. When I found Dr. El-Souki, everything changed. I've been seeing Dr. El-Souki since October 2020 and since then, I am now able to sleep on my back, lay on my belly, and now I am regaining my strength back to start lifting weights again. I couldn't be more grateful for him. You're the best, Dr! read more

Dr. El-Souki is the best! He takes the time to explain what he is doing as he is doing it. He's all about healing you and educating you and not emptying your pocket book. I've been seeing Dr now since 2020 for all sorts of issues from back pain, knee pain, headaches, and more. I've seen several chiropractors over the years and had treatment after treatment with little to know relief. After just one visit, I feel instant relief!!! It's no wonder he has patients driving from long distances to see him. I no longer live in the area, but it's worth the drive just knowing I will be getting the care I need! read more

My wife was experiencing severe back pain, to the point, where she could not stand. My wife starting researching for a chiropractor and found two: Her first choice never answered and the second was Dr. El-Souki's office. Thank God he responded. He immediately took my wife in, which the pain was so severe, I had to accompany her. Dr. Ismat started by asking questions which he immediately already knew what was wrong with her. Here is what he differs from others: * He loves his patients and has a deep passion for his work * He educates you on the issue with a goal in mind * He is always positive and encouraging * He goes out of his way to train you on how to stretch, pose, etc... * He works around the issue, as opposed to, going directly to it which is a lot more effective. * His office staff, especially Petra, is very friendly and always willing to help. After around 5 sessions, my wife is feeling a lot better. She is not in pain. As I was leaving, he noticed something on how i walked. He asked to see me. As it urned out, I had knee issues before which I had seen a different chiropractor a couple months ago. As it turned out, the issue was not my knee but my hip. Dr. Ismat took the time to evaluate me and after a couple sessions, I noticed a complete different way on how I walked and stood. Amazing!! The previous chiropractor only cared about making the money and prescribing unnecessary medication, whereas Dr. Ismat took the time to help me. He has helped my Mother-in-Law and soon my Mother. Dr. Ismat truly cares about people and we are blessed to have found him. Thank you God and Thank You Dr. Ismat!! read more

Started seeing the Doctor after having a knee injury from sport (jiu jitsu) and the knee pain would not go away. After about 2 months of the pain getting worse, I started seeing Dr. El-Souki. Within a few visits the knee pain was much better. After multiple visits most of the knee pain is gone. Dr. El-Souki not only addresses the issue, but other issues that I was not aware of, he does a great check-up/diagnostic of the whole body and even aligned my ankles and pointed out some mid back tightness I had. I highly recommend Dr. El-Souki, if it wasn't for him, I don't know if I would still be practicing sport. If you see him, do the homework he assigns, as it will help the recovery process and you will be back to your old self. read more

I've been going to Dr El-Souki for a number of years. He is one of the few chiropractors who can give you and "adjustment" just by using acupressure, myofascial release, kinesiology, trigger-point therapy, etc. WITHOUT any popping of the vertebrae. It's incredible. A couple weeks back, I got slammed on my head by a wave in the ocean. I was in terrible pain. I called El-Souki's office late in the afternoon, who said to start driving, we'll fit you in at the end of the day as an emergency patient. Dr El-Souki stayed late, and undid 50% to 70% of the damage caused by the wave. By undoing most of the damage the same day, the injury was not allow to "set in" and become chronic. I went back 2 more time and he got rid of the rest of the injury. I've been going to chiro's for 3 decades or so. A regular chiro would have required me to come 3x a week for 3 weeks, then 2x a week for 4 weeks, etc. to undo the trauma, but El-Souki undid the whole thing in just 3 visits. I have a friend with sciatica. When the pain flares up, her local chiropractor take 3 visits to get rid of the pain. She live an hour away from El-Souki, but says it's worth it cuz he'll get rid of the pain in 1 session. He's one of the few kind and truly caring health professionals left. read more

Dr Souki is wonderful ! He is so good in what he does ! My family and I have been his patients for many years and we will always be. He is patient , helpful, caring and most importantly compassionate. If your back hurts and needs adjusting please come and see him . read more

Tell me how fortunate you feel when you find an experienced but honest mechanic, or plumber or lawyer, now multiply that feeling by a hundred and I'll tell you that's how I felt when I started seeing Dr. El-Souki for my shoulder injury. I had limited backward mobility on my right arm as a result of a fall. I had gone to see a physical therapist and while the exercises provided by this specialist helped to a certain extent, I felt that more could be done to hasten the recovery process. I went to see Dr. El-Souki based on the positive reviews on this site, but most importantly because of his proximity to my home. Dr. El-Souki practice is a holistic one so that while the pain was in my shoulder and arm, he treated my neck which was the source of my problem, my back, and my hip area. The latter two had been impacted by an unconscious misalignment favoring my shoulder to reduce the pain. Dr. El-Souki methods are a combination of several disciplines - pressure points, stretching, massage, etc.. but he does not employ any harsh and sudden movements. Thanks to his methods, I'm now pain-free and my arm mobility is pretty near perfect. So give the Doctor a shot. After all, if you find that you rather have a joint cracking chiro there are dozen to choose from. But there's only one Dr. El-Souki. read more

I recommend Dr. EL-Souki 100 percent. He has been a blessing from the first day I met him. Thanks to El Souki he has dramatically improved my quality of life. I suffer from extreme low and mid back pain. I have bulging discs L5 and S1. He is the only one who understands my pain and knows how to make me feel better. Recently, I experienced lots of stress and pain to my upper neck. I felt dizzy for days. El Souki was quick to find the issue and I found instant relief with just one session! The pain has not come back! El Souki has been a miracle for me and I thank God everyday for putting him in my life. God bless you always Dr. El Souki! read more

I met Dr. El Souki over 9 years after a fall that injured my back at the hospital working as a registered nurse. As nurses our backs are our livelihood so I needed to get well as soon as possible. My husband referred me to his chiropractor. I was very skeptical at first because the previous chiropractor I had gone to provided no results and after two weeks of severe back pain, ibuprofen 800mg 3 times a day and physical therapy 3 times a week I had had enough and decided to seek therapy from this "great", chiropractor. Well, to my surprise he I walked in to a small modest office and thought can this Chiropractor really help me! Well he did!!!! He has been God sent to me, family and friends. I refer him to everyone. My back has returned to it's full functional use which he has kept healthy. He has returned my faith to holistic healing. What really shocked me was when he helped me with my chronic Vertigo that I've had for approximately for ten years. I had seen several ENT's that would only give me exercises that made it worse. It returns periodically however he returns me back to balance once I see him. Anytime that I am hurting I directly go to him to bring me back to balance. I go for maintance monthly. I do not like to take any kind of pills so his ice recommendations work fine for me. He is the most caring, wise and sympathetic individual you would want when you are suffering with pain. Each patient that he see's is cared for individually and encourages you to have a healthier life style to help you overall but you need to follow his instructions after you have head a session with him. He truly has a gift with this art we call chiropractic healing. His techniques are grouped into one, elsewhere would take many sessions with little results. The only regret I have is that I did not post this earlier for other people to view so they don't have to suffer like I did with pills and so call therapies. At times you may have to wait awhile but it's because his care is individualize and listens to your past experience that your journey has brought you to him. Like Dr. El Souki chants close to the end of his session, "Gods healing power remove the pain from your body". read more

Dr. El Souki is amazing! Professional, caring, honest, and friendly. Highly recommend!

Dr. El Souki is truly a miracle worker! I brought my mom to see him over 8 months so for the first time because of excruciating back pain that impacted her ability to walk. After the first treatment she was able to walk without pain. We continued the treatment and she was about to walk pain free. We came to see him again 3 weeks ago for her neck as her head literally was bent to the left and could not move it side to side, Dr. El Souki again worked his magic and she can now move her neck from side to side! Thank you so much doctor for giving her quality of life! Forever grateful!! read more

great customer service and chiropractic services was amazing he new were the pain was thanx

It was a pleasure meeting Dr El-Souki! I went to his office for the first time last week with pain on my right wrist, due to work repetitive movements. My primary Doctor prescribed Ibuprofen for pain, I took it as prescribed for 5days, however pain didn't go away Instead I got numbness on my fingers, wrist pain got worse, also my arm, neck and upper back were hurting, I was desperate. That's when I decided to see a Chiropractor, and thanks to Yelp good reviews I found Dr El-Souki. It's really not an exaggeration "The doctor relieved the pain at the first consultation". Today is exactly one week ,my fourth session, and I am feeling good!! Dr El-Souki, is not just a great Chiropractor, but he also is a kind person, he cares! His professionalism and good work ethics making him a great Doctor! read more

I swear by Dr. El Souki. His overall approach to wellness goes beyond the physical. His knowledge is vast and his treatments are always gentle and non-invasive- this dude hardly uses any tools or tricks. Each time I leave, I feel better both physically & emotionally, as stress seems to be a major factor with my usual neck and back pain. But heres the answer to getting better, follow his recommendations: do the stretches, exercises, ice pack, etc- You wont be disappointed and believe me, Dr. El Souki won't feel good until your pain is gone. And just a general thought- keep moving and think happy thoughts- improving your health is more simple than we think... :) P.S. Sometimes you may have to wait a wee bit after your appointed timeframe, but he's worth the wait!!! read more

I have seen chiropractors for the last 50 years I am a dental hygienist I need their treatment, Dr. Souki is by far the best chiropractor that I have ever come across I have been seeing him for 28 years and there is no way I would still be able to work as a hygienist for 49 years if it wasn't for this man's magical hands he understands the body like no other doctor that I have ever gone to if you go to see this doctor you are in for a huge treat, read more

My best friend recommended Dr. El Souki to me. She had been seeing him since she was 15, so I decided to give him a try after having pain in my right shoulder from merely putting away dishes. BEST DECISION I HAVE MADE!!! My insurance does not cover chiropractor services, but it's so worth every penny. Not only do I get treated and aligned, but I also get educated by Dr. El Souki. He shares his knowledge and genuinely cares about your well being. He treats from his soul and not with his hands. He thoroughly explains his method of treatment. I will continue to go back as long as it's needed. I truly appreciate his honesty, kindness and generosity. I HIGHLY recommend him! read more

I had a great experience here. I was hardly able to get in and out of my car before my first visit. I had excruciating pain in my lower back. After meeting with Dr. El Souki and getting adjusted, I felt like a new person. 90% of the pain in my lower back had gone away. I felt 100% after my 3rd or 4th visit. I work out a lot and now go once a month or once every two months if I'm busy. Getting adjusted and stretching has really opened up my mobility. Dr. El Souki was very welcoming and knowledgeable. I have been going for the past 5 months and have had a positive experience during each visit. If you're in pain, definitely give him a try! read more

Amazing! Dr El-Souki is the rare kind of physician that truly cares about his patients and wants to ease their pain and suffering. I get chronic neck, shoulder, and upper back pain and going here has tremendously helped me. Dr. El-Souki doesn't do any forceful movements but uses a mix of accupressure, physical therapy, and adjustments so that the treatment is truly tailored for your body. I am so thankful to have found this place. I am just scared of when Dr El-Souki decides to retire bc I haven't found anyone close to his level of healing. read more

No Mother wants to see their child in pain. In 2011 my daughter was in sudden pain and literally could not walk. A trip to the ER, X-rays, and family doctor visit and no answers! I made an appt with Dr. El Souki (he helped my older daughter when she played softball) and in the first visit my daughter felt relief! She went for two more visits and was completely healed!! It was a bulging disc in her lower back! She still visits him occasionally for adjustments and alignment. My entire family now see Dr. El Souki for adjustments and just to relieve everyday stress on the body. He is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! He educates, cares, and most importantly HEALS! I recommend him to EVERYONE! You want pain relief? Schedule an appointment with Dr. El Souki, you won't regret it. read more

Just a follow up to my last review. I usually go for an adjustment of my lower back once in 2 weeks. This time around my blood pressure was very high and I mentioned it to the doc. To my surprise and delight Dr. El-Souki managed to lower my blood pressure in one adjustment. We actually measured it right afterwards. It was 133/80, where as in the morning of the same day it was 154/94. Miracles in the making. Thank you Dr. El-Souki. read more

I've been coming to Dr El-Souki for about 15 years now and all I could say is that he is the best!! Not only is he my Dr he is also my friend. He is such a wonderful soul. He really cares for his patients. He is very honest and true. My brother needed surgery for his shoulder from a gym injury but after seeing Dr El-Souki for a month, my brother didn't need the surgery anymore. I personally love the massages and the adjustments I get. I recommend him to all my family and friends and all get hooked with him. I'm telling you he is the best!! read more

Dr. Ismat El-Souki is a gracious and friendly doctor. He has gifted hands with a healing touch.

Dr. El Souki not only has an incredible knowledge of medicine , but also has a gift for what he does. I have been seeing him for 10 years. When I first went I had a bulging disc and my next option was surgery. I was in excruciating pain and he really saved me. I go in every once in a while now just to get adjusted. But I've gone even for headaches and I walk out of there without any pain whatsoever. He is one of the most honest and sincere medical professionals I have ever met. read more

I never believed in Chiropractors until I met Dr. El Souki. I have been going to him for almost two decades. He's always been there for our family. He's caring, professional, and heals quickly. He is my go to guy for any injury. I can't say enough good words about him. read more

Ismat El-Souki, DC - Chiropractors Near Me - Montebello, California

I've been coming here since I was 13 and I'm 30 now. My entire family comes here and it's for a reason. Dr. El Souki is so damn nice and makes your back/neck (or whatever hurts) feel great. I've had knee pain for years but my back was messed up due to being hit by a car. It will always be an ongoing issue, but I get evened out when I come by. If you're really hurting, you have to come like twice a week for a few weeks to start getting straightened out. After that, you can go less. I go twice a month. Just understand that one visit will not cure everything. That's not how it works. Come here, you won't regret it. read more

Dr. El-Souki is the best chiropractic doctor you'll ever find! He's been my savior from day one. He's funny, honest, gives practical advise and educates you on how the body works. I walk out of his office always with 100% relief. I sincerely hope and pray he stays well and healthy to continue his practice of healing people. read more

Dr. El-Souki is an angel on earth. He has the purest heart, he's so kind, generous, and truly cares for his patients with every cell in his body. He is the most ethical, educated, kind, respectful, and truly the most incredible chiropractor!! He also received his medical license so he is an Medical Doctor & a chiropractor. Dr. El-Souki doesn't crack and then tell you to come back several times for no reason. He isn't a cheater and doesn't treat people more than they need. He truly is a healer. He invests so much time in each patient, he massages, does myofascial pain release, and adjusts the neck/ back. He cures so many people from back, leg, arm, neck issues and because the doctor heals them, they don't have to do surgery anymore. I literally drive over 1hr (without traffic) to be treated by Dr. El-Souki. I would even drive to the Midwest for treatment, that's how amazing he is!! Dr. El-Souki has his own technique that I swear no other doctor has and you will never find a doctor that will heal like Dr. El-Souki. Really he is an angel on earth. I have 2 buldging disks in my back and 3 in my lower neck as well as TMJ & mylfascial pain. Before I found Dr. El-Souki I literally did so many tests, physical therapy, which was a complete waste of time, and tried and bought so many beds, took so much medicine just to help with my pain, but nothing worked. Honestly my life changed when I became Dr. El-Souki's patient. I was 24, and now I'm 26. When I started going to Dr. El-Souki, I went to him barely walking. I couldn't even walk, drive, sit in class, nothing. I would stay up all night crying from pain switching from the bed to the floor trying to do anything I can. The 1st treatment I had with Dr. El-Souki I walked in looking miserable from my pain, and when I was done he said "wow, your face is glowing look you're smiling that means your body is released, you're finally feeling relaxed" and he was absolutely right. I did my course of treatment with Dr. El-Souki a couple times a week for a bit, and then after I would go occasionally if I needed an adjustment here and there. I cannot explain how my life has changed. I'm a student and I have intense studies. I used to have to request special seating and desks at my college and use a rolling backpack , but since my treatment with Dr. El-Souki truly my life has changed. I feel so much better like my body is lens's tense, I can focus on my studies, I can sleep and live life normally for my age. So since I was 24 after my regular course of treatment for my back condition, I would then visit doctor El-Souki occasionally, because I'm a student and my back can get messed up sometimes from long study hours. But then I got in a car accident a few months ago that messed up my back and definitely went back to Dr. El-Souki. My treatment is done now after my accident and I'm feeling new again. But honestly If it weren't for my treatment I don't know where I'd be today. I wouldn't have been able to survive. Dr. El-Souki truly changed my whole life and the quality of my life. The way he treats his patience is literally unheard of and can't be found elsewhere. He is such an incredible doctor in every way. He's not the typical chiropractor he doesn't just crack for a couple of minutes then tells you to come back 20 more times. He's literally an angel on earth and a healer. He massages the back, stretches, and does his own technique to heal the body. Please please don't even think twice about it coming here. I swear your whole entire world will be changed for the better. There is no better, pure, talented, and ethical doctor than Dr. El-Souki. He deserves so much goodness for the good he provides and invests in his patients. Wonderful doctor and I promise you will feel amazing after!! Best of luck, but with all my heart and honesty, seriously pleaseeeee visit this doctor if you have pain! He's worth it and will feel so different even after 1 treatment! God bless him! He's incredible! read more

Dr. El-Souki is the best. He treats your whole body and finds the source of your pain doesn't just treat the area you say is hurting. I have not been pain free in my next since January as the desk I have is not very ergonomic. He relieved not o my my pain but my range of motion is back!!! I live in Placentia and he is in Montebello...well worth the drive. I will be taking my daughter in next. read more

The night before I visited Dr El Souki, I couldn't even get out of bed due to the pain in my neck, down the right side of my back and numbness in my arm. I was referred to him by a friend, and he saw me the same day. After 1 visit I was SUBSTANTIALLY better. After 2 more follow up visits within a week, I felt great. I would HIGHLY recommend him. read more

I was a mess when I went to him. Honestly, I didn't think my problem could be fixed, but for some reason he knew it could. Have been having neck pain for several years, off and on. I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and herniated discs in my c5 & c6 that required surgery. I've heard too many stories of people having this surgery and end up even worse. Surgery was out of the question for me. I'm feeling 100% after a few visits with Dr. El-Souki. A God sent! My only regret is that I didn't get to him sooner. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Doctor. read more

Absolutely the best! I'm the stubborn type who put off this service for much too long. I finally decided to schedule a visit and couldn't be happier. Dr. Ismat is professional, friendly, and very informative. I honestly feel foolish for not partaking in his services sooner. I always feel like a few person after my appointments! Very highly recommended. read more

I'll admit I was skeptical at first being I had been to a few doctors beforehand in regards to my lower back pain. But I'm so glad I decided to go to Dr. El-Souki Ismat. After only my first visit, he did what other doctors had failed to do. Make me feel better and straighten me up, since I was walking crooked. He actually heard me out and listened to my problems within my back and did a few things to relieve the pain and even gave me advice on what type of exercise to do, to help me recover fully. I def recommend doctor to anyone and I'll for sure be coming back. read more

My family and I have been coming to Dr. El-Souki's practice for over 7 years. He's amazing at what he does and whenever I need something adjusted I always come here. He's always careful and makes sure he explains what he is doing. Not only does he heal, but he also teaches. He'll explain where the pain is coming from and how it's affecting your entire body. I never leave his office without him giving me advice on how to stretch or to ice the areas that were worked on. He's a very nice man who cares about his patients after they leave his office. I first started coming here when I had a bulging disk in my lower back in 2011. Went to the ER and they did nothing. I literally wasn't able to walk and looked like a 90 year old woman hunched over in pain. Dr. El-Souki was referred to us by a family friend and he healed me within three appointments. I now recommend him to all my friends for any injuries or needs of adjustment. He is an amazing man who cares about his practice and his patients. I have an appointment today and again I cannot stress how much these adjustments help me. You literally walk out straighter and feeling stronger. Having the same chiropractor for over seven years should tell you how much these adjustments have helped me over the years. If you've always wanted to visit a chiropractor but were unsure, choose this location. He is awesome! read more

I have been struggling with back issues hip issues and knee issues for as long as I can remember. I was an athlete in HS and try to be as active as I can till this day. I have been living with pain, numbness and uncomfortable feeling going down my back and leg. Today was my first treatment. Without me saying where my pain was dr el souki pointed out areas of where my pain was located. I came in crooked and left much more aligned. He's not just trying to make money by cracking every bone in your body he massages and stretches you and won't just give you a prescription, just because, He seems very passionate of his work and gives you great advice for daily habits to follow. I highly recommend! read more

I came across Dr. Souki because my PCP is across the hall from him. After going to another chiropractor and still in excruciating pain, I went back to my PCP to get and injection for my pain (neck, back, shoulders radiating down to my mid pain). I decided to by chance walk into his office and ask about his services. I had a consultation with Dr. Souki and he explained my pain, trigger points and pressure points. Although I had gone to the other chiropractor that morning I decided to have Dr. Souki treatment that same day, I was feeling desperately in need of some pain relief - I was taking, Norco, Soma, Gabapentin, Diclofen, and Baclofen concurrently and I was still in tremendous pain. I have to say my experience with this doctor was completely different than the other chiropractors that have treated me. Dr. Souki focuses on Acupressure, Triggers points that are causing the pain. He doesn't do much spinal manipulation except for the neck but even then he is super gentle. He spent about 2 hours working on my trigger points, icing, massaging the knots, etc. It was a somewhat painful experience that was worth it the second I got up. Once I stood up, I was pain free! Pain free!!!! I hadn't felt pain free in months!!!! I was overjoyed and had to give him a huge Thank You hug!!! I can't recommend him enough. Since my last 3 visits I've been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and upon doing research Fibromyalgia is based on over sensitive trigger points which made perfect sense why Dr. Souki gave me such pain relief. I've taken my 9-year son to him who was also amazed when he stood up and felt no more back pain. I can't give him enough rating stars, he truly has healing hands!!! All I can say just try his services once and you'll be a life-time patient... he is that good. read more
