She was a blessing to my pregnancy experience and thereafter. Her energy, her patience, her skill and love for this practice is a blessing for all women. What a gift to women and their families. She saw my twin daughters as well and I couldn't be more trusting of someone caring for my babies. Can't wait to see her again read more

My doula recommended Dr. Karla. I've had a great experience so far during my pregnancy. Honestly I've been suffering from constipation, but I have immediate relief the next day after an adjustment from her. Thank you! read more

Dr. Pineda is amazing. She is caring, takes her time with her clients and always listening to what's hurting. She has been helping my mom a lot. She is doing Acupuncture and massage for my mom. Her office is clean and calming. read more

Oh my God, she is the best acupuncturist in all of Los Angeles one on one attention quality service very affordable extraordinarily confident I came in with excruciating sciatica pain and she took me for a screaming 10 down to a manageable three I was able to walk and talk when I came out she is a miracle worker. I recommend her to anyone who wants to experience, better health, body, balancing or getting rid of chronic pain. She is definitely very gifted. read more

I went to see Dr Pineda because my baby was breech. She was charming and caring and made me feel immediately at ease. Her body work, acupuncture, and adjustments were second to none. And she recommended treatments I could do at home outside our sessions. A few weeks after seeing her, my baby turned into the correct position (head down)! Can't thank Dr Pineda enough. Highly highly recommend. read more

i love dr. karla. my doula recommended her when i was early on in my pregnancy but i was always a skeptic about going to a chiropractor. i finally booked an appointment after my cousin (who had 3 babies all natural after the age of 40) told me that i should see a chiropractor. my doula told me it would help make my labor & delivery smoother and she was right! i loved giving birth and i fully credit it to dr. karla! dr. karla takes her time with massage & acupuncture before adjusting you at the end of the session. we always have the best conversations and laugh a lot during our time together. she has the best energy. when i had my baby, i took her in to get a little baby massage and it was honestly the cutest thing ever. dr. karla adjusts little ones to make sure that they are in alignment so that once they start hitting those milestones of sitting, crawling, walking, etc. they don't have any uneven tightness that they are fighting. i'm so blessed to have dr. karla in my life. she's worth every penny. read more

Karla is amazing at what she does! I went to see her because I'm in my third trimester and have been in soo much pain. I couldn't even walk or get out of bed from the pain I felt in my back. After my treatment I felt immediate relief. Thank you Karla! Can't wait to be treated again! read more

Karla did an amazing job treating me! My first time, my early 30s experiencing back, neck & shoulder pains. She massaged my lymph nodes which made a significant difference! I got acupuncture and was adjusted in record time. In addition Karla was very attentive, charismatic and really focused on what I was telling her were my issues. The space was clean and had a nice vibe to it. Definitely coming back in five weeks read more

Where do I even begin? Dr. Karla is indeed a miracle worker. I was on my second trimester when I found her practice in Eagle Rock. I wanted to go to a chiropractor who knows what she's doing especially that I am pregnant and she did not disappoint. She made my first session so comfortable and I felt like I've known her for years! She worked through my knots, my aches and pains, did acupuncture and then adjusted me and wow, I left feeling like a brand new person. I was so excited to go back for my second appointment. She also doesn't nickel and dime you, but rather, recommends what makes sense to make you feel reinvigorated based on your needs. As a pregnant first time mom, I highly recommend going to her to help you with the changes that your body is going through. She is an expert in this field and she will take care of you! Bonus plus -- all her amazing pillows that will make you feel super comfortable as she works her magic on you! read more

What a lifesaver! I finally made the call to Dr. Pineda's office when the near debilitating pain my pregnancy caused on my sciatic nerve made it so that I could barely walk. My only regret? Not calling her sooner! One visit was all it took to erase almost all of the pain. What is great about her is that she offers different types of services, so she is able to tailor what will benefit you most. My first visit was a nice mix of massage therapy, acupuncture and an adjustment. I was stunned when I got off the table and could not longer feel one ounce of pain! It was almost too good to be true. And super duper bonus points for the special pillow that she offers for pregnant women. I can't even begin to tell you how fantastic it felt to actually lay on my stomach. I wish I could take that pillow home! read more

If you're looking for a chiropractor or an acupuncturist Vida Wellness is the place to go! The service here is awesome, the facility is clean, and Dr. Pineda is AMAZING. She is easy to talk and actually CARES. read more

Karla is absolutely fantastic. I've had experiences in the past where it feels like the chiropractor just wants to keep you coming back several times by only helping with temporary relief, but Karla is motivated by fixing the problem the first time. She doesn't do any gimmicks, and she knows how massage and manipulate the issue for actual lasting relief. For the last 3 years I've only gone to her and have recommended multiple people who all say the same. She's the best. read more

Miracle. Worker. Not only is Karla an absolute joy to see (seriously, sometimes I'm tempted to book appts with her just so we can chat and catch up!), she has magic hands that somehow know exactly where your trouble spots are + how to relieve them. She just gets it. Can't recommend her more highly!! read more

Karla is AWESOME! I started seeing Karla during my second pregnancy in an attempt to avoid having the same pelvic issues I had in my first pregnancy. Not only did we avoid SPD but, she was able to keep me so much more comfortable throughout the pregnancy and during recovery. More recently she has been helping me with TMJ pain. I had been having terrible headaches most days for the better part of 2 months when I finally went to see her. After only one session, where she used both chiropractic and acupuncture modalities, I had a full week headache free. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Karla is amazing! I started seeing her since my second trimester after having sleepless night and having pelvic girdle pain. She really helped me thoughout the rest of my pregnancy. In my 3rd trimester she helped me ease into labor. I don't know how I would have survived without her. Now being postpartum my baby and I have continued to see her. I would definitely recommend her to all expecting and postpartum moms. read more

See all

Dr Pineda is intuitive, kind, the real deal. Most chiropractors I've gone to have been clunky bone crackers. Not this one. She adjusts with fluidity and ease. This gem also knows that if you're out of alignment, chances are your muscles are hurting too. Dr Pineda sunk her elbows into my traps and hammies after setting my spine right. I walked out a new man in a new body. Do yourself a favor: treat yo self. read more

So glad I found Dr.Pineda on yelp! I came in with lower back pain while pregnant. After reading her reviews I felt she could be a good fit for me. I am beyond happy I decided to make the appointment with her. To start, she was super sweet on the phone making the appointment with her. During the appointment, she took her time with me and was extremely thorough. She treated me more like a friend then just some number. The universe puts you in front of people for a reason and I am so grateful I met her today. Refreshing meeting like minded mommas. I've only met her once but I must say, she is a beautiful person and amazing and what she does. I could barely walk the day before and after her treatment I was walking out of her office like brand new. Thank you Dr. for taking your time with me and valuing your clients! read more

This yelp review is long over due! I have been going to Dr. Karla for a couple years now, but this past week's events inspired me to write my very first yelp review. Dr. Karla is a true miracle worker- I went in this past Wednesday for help turning my breeched baby and on Friday went in for an ultrasound to find out she had turned! She used a combination of the Webster method and moxibustion and bam!, it worked! I cannot recommend Dr. Karla enough- she's great whether you are pregnant or not! read more

I am 30 weeks pregnant and new to LA. She made me feel right at home as soon as i walked in. She took her time and gave a nice massage and adjustment with reasonable pricing. I will definitely be going back for the remainder of my pregnancy and after the baby is born. I feel better than i have in a long time. So happy i found you!!! read more

I went in for prenatal chiropractic adjustments. I didn't expect to get a massage first. She has firm hands, perfect for deep tissue. She told me to just let her know if it's like a less firm pressure. Apparently my mid back was very tight. She went over it and it was pretty sore. Then she massaged over the problem area of pregnancy. She adjusted me as well. For a first session, she was very thorough and absolutely personal yet not so stoned cold professional. She's is a very personable person. She is really knowledgeable and intuitive about the body and especially the pregnant women's body. I'd definitely recommend her to others. read more

I've been seeing Dr Pinedã since my second trimester and she has single handedly made the aches and pains of pregnancy super manageable! She really has magic handI had some pre existing back issues and sciatica that have also improved since seeing her as well. She takes a lot of time and really listens to what is hurting, and her combination of massage and adjustments is ideal for pregnancy. I always walk out of a session feeling so much better. I've also tried acupuncture with her once and it really helped the tightness in my neck. I'm planning to do another session again to naturally induce labor if I go over my due date as well. I'll update on it it works for me! UPDATE: I went into labor at 8 am on my due date, after 2 acupuncture sessions over 2 weeks. Definitely worked! read more

First of all, THANK YOU!!!!! I was in so much pain, I couldn't even breathe. With one touch she knew exactly what was wrong and within 24 hours I felt amazing. Dr. Pineda is incredibly kind, gentle and knowledgeable. So grateful for squeezing me in for an emergency appointment read more

Dr. Pineda is absolutely a wonderful and talented chiropractor. By incorporating muscle work and adjustments into her appointments, I really feel like her practice cares for my whole body. I admire her work with pregnancy and prenatal chiropractic work, too. Highly recommend! read more

My husband swears by the accupuncture. He has here bulged discs, could barely walk at one point, tried physical therapy, etc., and nothing worked for him like this. I swear by the sports massage. Life changing. read more

Karla has the magic touch. I went in with pretty serious back pain from walking in ill fitting shoes while 5 months pregnant. Within two sessions I was feeling completely healed from that, but I kept coming back throughout the pregnancy because she kept me comfortable and free of the usual aches and pains most pregnant people have to deal with. Her massages are amazing too. I will definitely be going back for postpartum tune ups as well. Oh and she's a really lovely person and so easy and fun to talk to! read more

I've known Karla from our kids' school for over three years and I honestly forgot she is a doctor. What drawn me to Karla in the first place is her genuine sense of humor and easy going personality that is truly down to earth. Just my luck, she relocated her practice to Los Angeles on Eagle Rock Blvd from Sherman Oaks this August, so I reached out to her due to experiencing some dizziness and dull pain at the base of my neck. My regular Acupuncturist was closed due to COVID. Where else can you go for a massage, chiropractic and acupuncture service all in one visit? Her office is clean, stylishly fit to her personality and it's spacious! She talks you through every manipulation and adjustment just so you understand what she's doing to your body according to what your body need. To tell you the truth, I felt totally comfortable under her care. I've jokingly teased her that her yelp reviews claimed she has "magic hands" and she really does. I couldn't believe the amount of strength and pressure points coming from just one hand!! That's right she only uses one hand at a time as she massages. That takes technique to master. Yet she is super gentle while she re-adjusts your body. I left her office astonished that I have a gem of a friend and the added bonus, a doctor who is an expert at her craft. Did I also mentioned she's one smart cookie? Make an appointment, have a chat with her and you'll find yourself smiling after your first visit, anticipating your next visit. read more

Dr. Karla Pineda is experienced, thorough, and very personable. I'm a freelance graphic designer and I sit in front of a computer making awesome things 8+ hours a day. I love my job but it's hard on the body. I honestly don't remember the last time my body felt this good and straight and just...right. While adjusting me, she gave me exercises I could do to avoid my neck and back from going out on me and feeling pain. I immediately felt relief after she did some muscle work, which is something other doctors don't do enough off and just crack you; know I know why people recommend her services and come back to see her. I will definitely be back. Thank you for making a difference Dr. Pineda! read more

Where do I begin? Dr. Karla is amazing. She was able to help me when I was nine months pregnant. My biggest regret was not finding out about her earlier in my pregnancy. She was able to relax me towards the end of my pregnancy which made my delivery a breeze and believe me having a baby is not easy. I came to her post-partum which I highly recommend especially if you are breastfeeding. She was able to straighten me out. She taught me stretches to maintain my back straight. I felt taller and stronger when I left her office. Her prices are reasonable and makes it easier to come back. Everyone needs a chiropractor like her. read more

Dr. Karla is awesome and helpful!!! She's easy to talk to to try to troubleshoot your body's problems. Dr. K is efficient without rushing, her office staff is super friendly, and bonus points for offering weekend appointments! She immediately made me feel comfortable. She's super sweet and knowledgable. She had a gentle, yet effective touch. Thank you Dr Karla. read more

Dr Pineda is the best! My entire family goes to see her and we all think she is genius! Dr Pineda is patient and has a lovely bedside manner! Most importantly she is super talented at what she does both chiropractic and acupuncture!! She is intuitive and really smart! I can't recommend her enough!! read more

We LOVED Dr. Pineda! She came to work on our three week old baby who we feared had a few issues. She was patient, sweet, talented and made our baby feel better fast. She gave us helpful tips and even showed us how to do a little baby massage. Highly recommended! read more

I've been seeing Dr. P off and on for years. She has a bed side manner that is refreshing and encouraging. She knows her craft and is great at her job!!!! Her chiropractic services are top notch and provide immediate relief for those stuck areas. read more

Dr Pineda has the hands of an angle. She is so gentle and patient with her patients. She explained everything he was going to do and why she was doing it. I know go to her regularly. She is well versed in alternative medicine as well. No question is dumb to her. I am grateful to have found her. She is amazing. I would recommend you try her service, believe me you once you go to her you will not go go anywhere else! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Pineda for prenatal chiropractic services for around two months. Unlike every other chiropractor who I have seen (over the years there have been several) she truly takes her time not only in getting to know you and your issues but most importantly she spends her time treating you. So many chiropractors I have been to spend all of 10 minutes doing a quick adjustment and move on to the next patient - not Dr. Pineda! She spends the necessary time with you to give you the care you need. When I came to Dr. Pineda my baby was transverse and I was having a lot of back issues. I am thrilled to say that shortly after beginning my treatment with her the baby moved into the correct position. Furthermore she has done a great deal to help me with the back issues I have been having. I would very very highly recommend Dr. Pineda for any prenatal chiropractic needs as well as general ones. read more
