I have chronic lower-back pain (lumbar-facet for anyone familiar with that). It comes & goes, sometimes it flairs up. Recently, I had an especially painful flair up & felt extremely incapacitated. I could barely get my shoes on, it hurt to do almost everything. Someone recommended Dr. Jennifer Botelho. Let me tell you, I expected, maybe, some temporary relief--I got waaaay more than I hoped or bargained for! Dr. Botelho is gifted. With just a little probing & tweaking she immediately diagnosed my problem, and with some very thoughtful "adjustments" I left her office feeling significantly better. But here is the best part: in the hours (and days) that followed I realized my lower-back pain was rapidly diminishing. Literally improving by the hour, and overnight. In under a week I am 95% improved. I can't promise everyone will have the same "miraculous" (overnight) result, every spine is different, but Dr. Botelho is *extremely* knowledgeable & has a great bedside (chairside) manner. She is a first-rate practitioner & her office is lovely (simple clean office, very helpful front desk). While she doesn't take insurance, her rates are incredibly reasonable & her office will file your medical insurance claims for you for reimbursement. They handle all of that. I can't recommend Dr. Bothelo & the Chiropractic Center of LA highly enough. As we know, pain is very debilitating and Dr. Bothelo provided, for me, immediate relief. She has gifted hands! Thank you!! read more

Dr. Botelho is hands down the best chiropractor I've ever been to. She really knows her stuff and is hyper specific with her treatments. Everyone in the office is super warm and welcoming, will answer any questions without making you feel like you're putting them out, just all around the best. There isn't much else to say - if you need a chiropractor do yourself a favor and go to her! read more

Thank you dear Dr. Botelho and Jenny for saving my husband from excruciating back pain ! My husband is a very physically active gentleman. Right before Christmas after his morning exercise routine my husband felt extreme pain in his back to the point that he was unable to move, stand or sit. Upon me calling Dr. Botelho's office our sweet angel Jenny booked an emergency appointment with Dr. Botelho within a few hours. The check-in procedure was simple and friendly. Doctor took my husband into the treatment room exactly on time. Dr. Bothelho assessed, performed very skillful adjustment and educated my husband on what he will do in the next few days until his next visit. My husband felt a little bit better next day, significantly better the day after and in two days he was back to normal. Dr. Bothelho and her office would get 10/10 stars from our family if that would be an option on yelp :) read more

I have been to several chiropractic office and had a range of experiences. With the energetic and effective Dr. B, I am actually feeling the results and HIGHLY recommend her. Like a lot of people, I sit in front of the computer all day, usually in bad posture and I also drive a lot, this being Los Angeles. Past doctors were all friendly but not one doctor was as thorough every time as Dr. B. Most times they assess you, and then just adjust you on a weekly basis, in a large communal room with several beds together - like an assembly line. Plus you only feel good for a few days and the exact same kink is back. But with Dr. B I have felt results - the huge knots on my shoulder/neck is slowly getting smaller, the tension in my neck is shifting and going away. Dr. B is also one of the few offices that are open earlier in the day, for those of us w/ 9-6 hours. The whole office is really friendly and there is even a small parking lot in the back. read more

Best Chiropractor I have ever been to and I've been to a lot. They will definitely NOT leave you on a machine and walk away. This a hands-on, good old fashion cracking, best feeling ever. I love how thorough Dr. B is. I have been seeing her off and on for more than 15 years. The office staff; Jenny and Linda are top-notch, very professionally organized and they make you feel like family. They handle ALL the paperwork so you can concentrate on recovering. If you have any chiropractic needs I would highly recommend Dr. B and the Chiropractic Center of America. read more

Dr. Jennifer Botelho, I'm really glad, I went She really worked on my Neck, I think I needed that most, She's the Best ! Hope to return ! Johnnie W. read more

I recently went into Chiropractic Center of LA with a terribly painful pinched nerve in my mid-back. The pain shot down my right arm and was completely debilitating. When I called CCLA, they were fortunately able to see me that day. I was pleasantly greeted by Jenny at the front desk. I had pre-filled out their patient intake form which I highly recommend you do prior to your first visit. It just makes things go much faster. With very little wait time, I was being seen by Dr. Botelho. She's a very kind mannered lady who ran me through the full diagnostics to determine the exactly source of all my pain. By the time my appointment ended, Dr B had pretty much identified the problem spot, adjusted my back, and gave me some decompressing traction and massage. I immediately had some relief, so I scheduled more appointments. Dr B even recommended getting massage or acupuncture in conjunction with her treatment. I opted for acupuncture since I also have a good acupuncturist. After about 4-5 sessions with Dr B and a few acupuncture sessions, I no longer have any pain in my back, shoulder or right arm. I firmly believe that her adjustments and massage contributed to the majority of my recovery and I couldn't be happier with the treatment I received. Thank you Dr Botehlo and everyone at CCLA. Tips on seeing Dr B: Free parking in rear of building (use ally for access) Complete patient intake form (available on their website) if it's your first time Relax and trust Dr. B read more

I went in for upper back and hip issues due to 12-hour days at a computer. I had developed such intense chronic pain in my back that it made me want to vomit, and completely sidelined me from doing any physical exercise (I had at one point been in the gym 5-6 days per week. Working with Dr. Botelho over the past month has helped me regain strength, flexibility, and all but eliminate my chronic pain. Not only has she effectively treated my problems, she has also educated me on the workings of the body more so than any other health professional I have seen. One of the issues she diagnosed and then successfully treated was an issue in my hip flexor area that an orthopedic surgeon dismissed as "getting older." Not only do I feel 200x better, it is great to have the consciousness of mind to know what I can and can't do and how it will affect my back and the rest of my body. Great office, great, friendly, flexible staff (I always have to reschedule). Awesome experience all-around! read more

Dr. Botelho is patient, gentle and effective. Her treatments always get me back on track physically. Along with my usual back issues, she has been able to help with my shoulder and foot pain too. The office also does great therapeutic massage. Their prices are fair and the service is excellent. I'm a loyal customer for 3 years. read more

Absolutely great experience! I had a groupon for this place - set up the appointment the day before no problem (receptionist was very friendly). I came in and the whole atmosphere was very inviting. I filled out a quick form and was taken to my room right away (the receptionist was just as nice and welcoming as she was on the phone). My massage therapist Sal came in and we chatted very briefly about what I wanted to get done (full body massage) and then he just went to work. Fantastic massage - really good, consistent pressure and he did a great job working out my knots. I came out feeling wonderful and I even got a coupon to use for my next visit! I can't wait to go back. I was told that there was a lot around the corner, behind the establishment, but I just did metered street parking right in front (there's plenty) for $1.50 for an 1hr and a half. read more

I had personally never been to a chiropractor before so I was nervous about trying someone out. - My best friend started going to Dr. Botelho when she could hardly walk anymore. She is a professional dancer and her body was breaking down. She went to Dr. Botelho 5 Times and she was back to dancing. - My best friend referred my husband, he has a terrible back from sitting all day for Work. He couldn't even sleep comfortably without being in pain. He went to Dr. Botelho for three sessions and he was back to the gym feeling 100%. - about a year later I got rear ended. My hips were all out of place, my lower back was in so much pain, I felt like my bones were grinding every time I walked. I have gone twice now (my third session is tomorrow) and I am back to running, yoga and spin classes. All I can say is thank you! read more

Went there a few months ago in broken pieces. Life hassles took a toll on my back. As I got to a point of misery, my wife suggested I contact Jennifer, whom she had the pleasure of being introduced to through a friend. As this is the case for many people, finding a great Chiro is no easy task. At all. So much so that I had not even tried once to tackle the project of screening and finding one. Long story short, a few months fast forward my first meeting and then poof! Discal hernia pain almost gone. Neck pain, almost gone too. You gotta play your part too and exercise a couple minutes a day as she instructs everyone to do. that surely helps. Overall, her bedside manner and her expertise worked wonders on me. And I was hopeless... A+++++ and thanks Jennifer for changing my life for the better! read more

The only thing I'm mad about is that I didn't come here sooner! After about a week of neck pain and immobility, I went to my primary care doctor who had no parking, made me wait an hour, and in the end just prescribed me muscle relaxants that didn't work and made it worse. I was recommended by Dr. B from one of my friends and in a matter of 2 weeks, I wake up pain free!! I almost cried the first morning I woke up pain free. Thanks, Dr. B!! read more

I started feeling pressure in the back of my head late afternoon yesterday. I made a very last minute appt with Dr B and boy am I glad I did. I'm walking away with no pain and a stretchy new hip (Bonus!!). I'm not even kidding when I say Dr B is a miracle worker. read more

It's been about 5 weeks since I was rear ended and had terrible whip lash, and thanks to Dr. Bothelo and her amazing massage therapist I feel great. Jenny and everyone else here will bend over backwards to make sure you can get in, I would recommend them to anyone and I already have! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Bothelo & the massage therapist Veronica for adjustment and massage regularly for the past 9 months. When I went for my first appointment, I was so weak with a back injury I couldn't open a jar of salsa. The treatments I've received have made a dramatic impact on my life and I can now do normal, every day activities, as well exercise! I had never received a chiropractic adjustment or gotten a massage before I came here. Now, I'm a huge proponent of both! read more

I have been seeing Dr Botelho for a decade now. I never feel physically better, than when she is treating me. She has always treated me with the utmost respect and patience, and seems to genuinely care for her patients. She is simply superb in her treatments, not only in mastering the chiropractic technique, but in having a knack for feeling the pain of us patients...and I mean that both physically and psychologically. Without her expert care, I would be little more than a cripple, unable to function in life. I wish I had the verbal skills to say more words of praise, because she so much deserves it. I very highly recommend her services. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Botelho for a recent accident and I couldn't have chosen a better office than hers. The staff is so warm and welcoming and very accommodating with my busy schedule. Thank you to Dr. Botelho, Jenny, and Linda, for everything!! It will be a bitter sweet day when I'm all better. read more

Trying out a new massage place, you really never know what you're in for. I purchased a Groupon and thought that for the price, it was definitely worth giving this office a try. I spoke with Linda on the phone and she was wonderfully friendly. That goes a long way and I certainly appreciated it, being a new client and a groupon holder as well. The exterior is unassuming, and they have parking around back (yay!). And then you walk into this beautiful office - the interior is immaculately clean and professional, and very nicely decorated. Big cushy chairs and a wide selection of magazines await you should you need them. I was very pleasantly greeted by Jenny, and directed down the hall to a spotless and perfectly appointed massage room. The temperature was perfect and the music at just the right level. The air was clean and not pumped full of obnoxious odors, the massage table was covered in clean linens and was perfectly cushy and new feeling. Besides for my yapping, the office was quiet, calm, and uber relaxing. My massage therapist was (wait for it... get ready for excessive gushing and carrying on, because I have exhibited great restraint thus far and I will thank you kindly to appreciate that - you almost thought I was a normal calm person...) AMAZING. HE WAS AWWWEEESSSSOOOOMMMMMME. Nagee was friendly and easy to talk to, and carefully listened to my various gripes (my shoulders bla bla hands bla bla pinched nerve maybe bla bla bla kittens bla bla bla). He did a FANTASTIC job. I can handle a lot of pressure (so he noticed) and without my saying anything he knew exactly where to target and expertly worked on all the rotten hoogie boogie kinks behind my shoulders, in my arms, down my back. I have absolute faith in his skills - he knew exactly what he was doing and hunted down every knot and pinch perfectly. If you go, be sure and demand Nagee. Unless I'm trying to get an appointment with him, because I WILL fight you for it. I will absolutely positively be back - I highly highly highly recommend Chiropractic Center of LA. If I could add glitter and dancing unicorns to this review, I would do it. Don't even bother looking up another office - trust me. I've already made another appointment for next week, and one tomorrow with the doctor for a consult. Check this wonderful place out, you will be so glad you did. They offer a wide range of supportive services (from chiropractic to nutrition), and are absolutely a must-try. read more

I purchased a groupon and was a little skeptical at first, but the massage was really great! It was more of a chiropractic/deep tissue massage rather than a swedish/relaxing massage. The masseuse was Zumi, and she was very good, she knew what she was doing. She worked to get the knots out of my back as well as loosen it. If you have back pain, this place is a must! read more

This is an old school doctor's office with a competent doctor and a chill front desk. Nothing flashy, nothing shiny and no hype. Dr. Botelho is a petite, strong fingered, highly energized chiropractor that is cautious with your injuries but efficient in realigning not just the spot that has the immediate symptoms of the pain, but the other misalignments in the body which feed into it. She reminds me a little of a female David Spade and has a positive attitude. Quick and well-practiced, I have gone a number of times for neck and shoulder pain, (which she successfully addressed), and sent friends her way as well. read more

I've needed to make use of the services of Dr. B and the Chiropractic Center's cadre of massage therapists for a fair number of years now. Dr. B and her massage therapists do excellent work and the support staff is courteous and professional. Over the years, I've referred quite a few people to her offices and will continue to do so. read more

I bought a groupon for a massage and this was by far the BEST massage I have ever received! I had Veronica and she knew exactly the kind of pressure to apply. I am really ticklish and most massages end with me more tense because I'm trying not to squirm around. Not with Veronica- I never squirmed...not even once. And the next day I felt amazing- all of my knots had been broken up. Brilliant! I will definitely be going back. And I heard there is a special this month and in August to see their N.D., so I will be making an appointment to see her, too. read more

I have never had a Chiropractor that knows exactly what I need every time I go in. When I 1st came to Doctor Botelho I had done something to my neck in my sleep and could hardly move it. After 1 treatment I had full range of motion again and almost completely pain free. After the 2nd time seeing her I was 100% and now go 1x a moth to keep everything balanced or when I have an issue. She is definitely one of the best and very affordable! If you are having any issues go see her and let her help you! read more

I have been a patient of theirs for approx. 10 years. The staff is friendly & efficient & do their best to get you an appointment quickly especially if it's urgent. Dr. Botello is extremely knowledgeable in her field & has put me back together more times than I can remember. She knows exactly what to look for & has never failed to relieve my pain. I highly recommend them for your chiropractic needs. They also offer a variety of healthcare options: acupuncture, massage, dieticians, the list goes on. read more

I came here for a massage recently and had the best experience. Everyone from the receptionist to the massage therapist was WONDERFUL. Each person was so nurturing and soothing. The massage room was cozy and quaint, and very quiet. I would definitely return to this place because the massage therapist and the receptionist were so kind and pleasant to deal with, which is part of the whole therapeutic experience. They made everything so easy and pleasant. Took off one star because I had to park on the street, a block away. There was no parking available in the back. read more

I have gone to her for years to help with lower back pain, knee's shoulders and recently hands. If other Chiropractors don't work for you STILL TRY DR. BOTELHO Because: All the other chiropractors are graduates of Palmer schools. Dr. Botelho is from the L.A. School of Chiropractic. They have different techniques. They diagnose with "motion palpation". You don't have to tell them whats wrong, they find out exactly whats wrong. They use some of the same moves as other chiropractors but they also have different ones that work FOR ME. Everyone is different but this is really worth a try because other chiropractors don't fix the pain for me and Dr. Botelho always does! Very nice staff and a great place. read more

Thank you so much for 14 years of keeping me walking. I have had two spinal surgeries. Dr. Weber and Dr. Botelho have been so sensitive to my condition, my idiotic injuries, my active career, and even my budget from day one. I cannot afford to go as frequently as I would like, but after Dr. B's diligent care for years, often all I need is an adjustment every few months now, or when I hurt myself. Linda even coached me through a horrific break-up when I had no one else to talk to. Jenny is always upbeat and smiling. Everyone seems to happy to see me when I come in, which is a great feeling. The gorgeous flowers on the reception desk (and the candy) is always welcoming. I love the full-wall wilderness murals in each exam room. I would love to see the office modernize the waiting room a bit, but the place is always clean and homey. Magazines are new. And it's beside the point anyway, because they run such a tight ship that there is almost NEVER a wait. This place is so fabulous that I pay out-of-pocket even though my insurance would cover for me to see another chiropractor. After all, I couldn't trust just anyone to hold my limp head in their hands and crack my neck. And I would never trust anyone who relies on electronic gadgets for adjustments. Dr. B. is the real deal. And if you are lucky enough to get in to see Dr. Weber when he's in town, you'll see where she got it from. I cant praise this place enough. read more

Thank goodness for my friend Vince recommending Dr. Botelho! I was in so much back pain. I went to two different chiropractors before her. I felt good after I left but the next day would still feel the same pain. I was about ready to give up but then my friend recommended her. He said that she literally saved his life. My first appointment with her some of the pain went away and I felt a lot better. I still had a little bit of pain but I could tolerate it. She recommended that I come back for three more sessions. I am so glad that I did because after that I was back to normal. From now on I will always go back to her and I will recommend all of my friends to go to her. Thank you so much Dr. Botelho! read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Bothelo & her team (especially the always kind Linda). I had a serious disc injury that allegedly needed surgery. I went here and avoided going under the knife. Plus, the follow up maintenance / therapy has kept me going strong for over a decade. Seriously, if you want attentive service and help maintaining a long-term healthy lifestyle, go to Chiropractic Center of Los Angeles. Listen to your Uncle Randy, don't neglect your back. Take care of it. read more

Dr. Botelo is the best!!! Jenny is a sweetheart! Zumi is the BEST!!!

Tried them out from a Groupon since I have long been looking for a place to get regular, deep therapeutic massage and they're not far from where I live. Great experience from start to finish. Warm and sincerely ebullient greeting from the wonderful receptionist, Jenny (who was great on the phone too). Everything was simple and relaxed, from intake form, to going into the treatment room, to checking out afterward (and getting a coupon for the next massage!). And most importantly, the massage therapist, Zumi, was excellent -- professional, skilled, kind, and did wonderful deep and thorough work that I've been needing and looking for. I'll definitely go back! read more

Dr. Botelho is incredible. I have had back and neck problems for a long time that were really aggravated after being rear-ended in a car accident. I found her chiropractic services online, so I tried her out. I was skeptical because the chiropractor I was seeing before didn't have any impact. Dr. Botelho's office was a completely different experience. She's an expert. She assess your entire body, finds the blocks and tightness and dislodged it. To me, she works more as a kinesiologist. She stretches your muscles, loosens the joints, and has even stretched the inside of my mouth and jaw, helping tremendously with the muscle tension I have from grinding, which can contribute to my neck stiffness. Her chiropractic adjustments are thorough and therapeutic. Since I've been seeing her my spine is much less tense and my mobility has greatly increased. I highly recommend her. She's clearly someone who is passionate about her work and her patients, and an expert at her craft. I would recommend her to any of my friends. The office is at a very convenient location, there's free parking, and she always runs on time. Bonuses! read more
