Great small business. They are quick and efficient, and affordable enough to get regular adjustments.

I cannot say enough good stuff about Dr. Dave! I have lived with back pain for a good part of my adult life. I went to see Dr. Dave at Lake Chiropractic Center on a recommendation from a close friend, and I am glad I did. My back feels much better just after the first visit, but I continue to go every few weeks. Dr. Dave is thorough, easy to chat with, and provides you with the necessary information you need to know about the pains in your back and neck. It's probably the friendliest doctor you may encounter. His staff is also friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Dr. Dave is so effective that I travel about an hour each way to get my back worked on by him. I highly recommend Dr. Dave and the Lake Chiropractic Center if you are suffering back or neck pain. You will not regret the service. read more

Excellent doctor and staff is really friendly. I'm always better when I'm adjusted by Dr Schinnerer. He's professional and good at what he does. read more

Dr. Dave has been my chiropractor for 17 years, and the best I've ever had. He was highly recommended by a coworker, whose husband had been seeing him for years. I like that he explains what's going on, and tells me other things that will help. He most wants me to feel well. Once, he told me, "Jeanne, I really like seeing you in the office, but you're not going to get better if you don't do regular stretching. He recommended I take a yoga class at the gym. It resulted in me seeing him less often, because I was feeling better. I don't know that other chiropractors would have done the same. He gave me advice re: stretches to do in the morning and at night, as well as what to look for in a mattress and pillows. Dr. Dave is easygoing, warm and friendly, and is ethical. You would be lucky and blessed to have a chiropractor like Dr. Dave. read more

Dr. Dave is Great! He has a wonderful demeanor and explains everything that he does. Almost like I've know him for years. I was always leary of Chiropractors, but he changed my mind and I'm a client for life. read more

I've had lower back issues since my high school years and throughout college. It was all the sitting in uncomfortable positions and studying. I would get shooting pains up my back that I wouldn't even be able to move for a few minutes until it eases up. I also noticed that when I think I am standing up straight, I'd be standing crooked with one side of my hip tilted up. For a while I thought one of my legs was longer than it other! These things didn't seem related to me at the time, but I went to see Dr. Dave regarding my lower back pains since 2012. I'll be honest, I was skeptical because all I hear from people is how chiropractors don't fix but just lessen the pain. However, after visiting him I feel otherwise! Dr. Dave is such a nice and warm personality. My first visit to his office, he made me feel comfortable and chatted about random hobbies and activities. After running some quick tests on me, he was able to pinpoint what was wrong and assured me that my one leg is not longer than the other, but that my pelvis is crooked and he will need to reset and crack everything into place. This stuff doesn't get fixed overnight because your body is smart and always readjusts, but it's like going to the gym and you have you train your body. He first had me come into the office for a readjustment 2 times a week and after a few weeks he had me come in once a month to reset my back. Ever since I started seeing Dr. Dave, my back feels so much better and I no longer have those shooting pains in my lower back! Even with all the physical activity I put my body through. It's unfortunate that this readjustment is something I need to maintain for the rest of my life, but if it prevents anything worse from happening then it's the least I can do. The way I see it, it's like how people schedule massages or get their hair cut periodically. He also offers 1 hour massages, which I have received a few times. Totally worth it, and definitely worth it since he takes my health insurance. I always recommend his services to my friends when they ask because he's always been very helpful for me and he has a background in sports medicine. Also, it's always such a pleasure seeing Dr. Dave, he treats me like his own family! read more

Dr.Dave is the best of the best! This is my first time having to do physical therapy as it was my first car accident. I was a little apprehensive about what to expect but he helped me feel comfortable and now I love getting my back cracked hahah even though sometimes I still scream "AHH!" haha! But I love this place, highly recommended. And Brittney is so sweet! I love going to a place and not having to deal with a snobby receptionist. She is great! Anyway go see Dr. Dave for yourself, love this cozy little buisness right up in beautiful Altadenaa!! read more

Dr.Dave is the best! My whole family sees him to stay healthy.

Dr. Dave is not only an amazing chiropractor but also very a comforting and welcoming presence. I look forward to coming in each and every week. The process is smooth and you can tell Dr. Dave has a really solid rhythm in his daily practice. I really love that they keep the lights low throughout the office, so I feel a general feeling of peace before, during, and after my treatment. I had a neck injury a few months back on a Saturday and had to find another doctor in a pinch...which was quite disappointing. I felt awkward and like this other guy was more of a salesman than a caregiver. I of course went back to Lake Chiropractic Monday morning to set things straight. I also recently had foot surgery and Dr. Dave was super accommodating to my foot brace and even arranged for me to sit up during my treatment to avoid any discomfort. If you're looking for a doctor with a good heart who is always happy to see you, treat you like a friend and hear about your life as well as share fun stories about his family life, definitely call up Lake Chiropractic Center! (Also thanks so much to Britney at the front desk for helping me reschedule and hooking me up with the room I like) read more

I've been seeing Dr. Dave for over two years now. First for an ongoing backache and most recently for physical therapy for a work-neck injury. The adjustments were perfect! Totally made it possible to raise my performance at work without pain. The massage therapy is also helpful and affordable (I had Robin). Dr. Dave is personable and professional. He really knows his stuff and very rarely will you ever have to wait past your appointment time. The staff is great too. I like this place so much I've referred friends and family members. read more

I like Dave, and he gets the job done for me. Was sad to leave my Los Angeles Chiro doctor, but feel I've found a good home with Lake Chiropractic. Adjustments are easy, quick, and comfortable... and he's so very close to where I live, I could practically walk there. Addendum: Some months ago, I had a lot of radiating pain down my thigh from a frozen SI joint in my lower spine. Dave was wonderful with this, and throughout about 5 visits, loosened me up and helped me get back (no pun intended) to being pain free. I think the greeting and goodbye hugs from Dr. Dave and Yvonne sped my healing too! Dave's a real gem. Love this guy! read more

Dr. Dave is great! He treated me for severe lower back and neck pain. After a few months my neck pain is gone and my back pain is much better. Not only is a he a great chiropractor, he's a wonderful soul. So witty and personable, I honestly miss our talks every week! Thank you Dr. Dave! read more

Dr. Dave is much more than just a SPECTACULAR chiropractor. My car accident resulted in severe and excruciating back pain. It's fair to say I was not the easiest person to get along with however, Dr. Dave's welcoming and personable approach instantly put me at ease. Dr. Dave has a very friendly staff who almost instantly knew me by name. The wait to get treated is as quick as any doctors office I've ever been to. They are flexible with scheduling. I always feel great after every treatment. Suffice it to say I highly suggest that if you suffer from chronic back or neck pain you'd surely want to contact Dr. Dave of Lake Chiropractic. read more

I have only been visiting Dr. Dave's practice for the last 2 months ( 4 visits on record ) and have had a great experience. The staff is friendly and helpful and Dr. Schinnerer is genuinely fantastic! He pays attention to detail, focuses on specifics and really takes his time to make sure I am comfortable and getting the treatment I am in need of due to they type of work I am in. His practice is another affirmation that Altadena is a great gem of a neighborhood. read more

I really like the adjustments Dr. Schinnerer delivers. I've walked in before, unable to turn my neck and left having regained much needed mobility. Usually just "tune-up" type adjustments for me though. I have referred many people to him and will continue to do so. My kids also ask to go see "The Bone Dr." and love getting adjusted. That's pretty good!! read more

Dr. Dave is a Godsend!!! I've been to several different doctors for my lingering back pain and none of them was able to help me until a friend referred me to Dr. Dave. He is very knowledgable and knows his stuff. If you're in dire need of a great chiro call Dr. Dave - you won't be disappointed!!! read more

Dr David is the best chiropractor ever! I have been coming to him for several years. He is the greatest & truly I wouldn't even consider another chiropractor. I have never had a problem with scheduling an appointment & have always been able to get in within a day or so. Payment & insurance billing has been a breeze. Really I can't say enough great things about him & his office. I recommend him to all my family & friends. read more

Visited Lake Chiropractic Center today for the first time and was very pleased with the services offered (adjustment & 50 minute massage) and the staff's friendliness and professionalism. I highly recommend!! read more

Dr. Schinnerer is the best. Nice doctor, friendly receptionist, professional setting.

Dr. Dave is the BEST! he's very knowledgeable and attentive. his personality is very warm and friendly, you will feel like you've known him as an old friend. he was able to pin point the problems that I was having very quickly and helped me feel less pain with a treatment and an adjustment. my lower back has been killing me from an inflamed SI joint and Dr. Dave was able to help me feel better immediately. He is an excellent doctor and his prices are very reasonable too! Highly recommended!! read more

Dr. Dave should have a D on his chest because he was my superhero today. Threw out the ol' back this morning and after being stuck on my knees for 10 minutes I finally got to my phone to look up a chiropractor. I found his office and was greeted by an informative receptionist when I called (Yvonne). She advised they where closed between 12 and 2 for lunch (must be some good eatin!) but to walk in at 2. Dr. Dave was very welcoming and straitened me out with instant relief. No problems recommending this business. Reasonable prices, try it for yourself. read more

Dr. Dave is fantastic! He knows his craft, is always willing to help in any way possible and he's honest. I've loved working with him. He definitely made my back feel better. I was sore and aching and he did his magic. I can't recommend him enough. But, let me not forget, I loved that he engaged with me, unlike other chiro's who just want to push you out, Dr. Dave actually talks to you and takes the time to get to know you. I love Dr. Dave! read more

I sprained my ankle playing soccer, and having sprained the other ankle before, I knew I mostly needed time to let it heal. Still, I was eager to get back on the pitch and wanted to do everything I could to make sure that it healed properly. I came to see Dr. Dave for just a few weeks and am confident that the work he did helped to speed the healing. I am now back to running around and am grateful that I found Dr. Dave. Dr. Dave is very personable and easy to talk to. Appointments were easy to make, and I never had to wait long (long waits are a deal breaker for me). Finally, I really appreciated that he didn't push for endless treatments. He got me back on my feet and sent me on my way! read more

Dr. Dave runs a truly caring practice. He treats his patients with honesty and care, as people more than just a customer. He took the time to explain everything and the reason behind his treatment decisions. And the same goes for the entire office including the receptionist as well. It's a small office with just Dr. Dave so there isn't any bureaucracy. read more

Dr. Dave has been treating me for years. He truly cares about his patients. His gentle adjustments, Chiropractic knowledge and sense of humor have kept me coming back for about 15 years now! I highly recommend Dr Dave Schinnerer for all your chiropractic needs. read more

I can stand, sit, and walk without pain, thanks to Dr. Dave - he's awesome! I've had lingering discomfort in my lower back for years. Then one morning, I could barely get out of bed...the pain was severe and constant, I couldn't stand up straight and it felt as if my back was going to give out completely. I went to my HMO' s Urgent Care on two separate occasions. The first doctor, without examining me, told me to get a hysterectomy because I have fibroids and it was probably the pressure they were placing on my spine that was causing the pain. I went home and tried stretching, hot packs and resting but it showed no signs of improvement. The second doctor looked at my back and said it was very inflamed (I just thought my midsection was full due to the fibroids). He gave me a shot of an anti inflammatory and scheduled a blood test and MRI on the spot to check my pancreas, liver and kidney. All the results came back negative, and he confirmed the fibroids had nothing to do with my back issues. He said it might have been an infection or that I had a kidney stone but that it must have passed because it didn't show up on the MRI. I left with a prescription for Motrin and some antibiotics. I had already missed a week of work, and on Monday morning, I called in to take another sick day and told my boss's assistant about my back pain and trips to the doctors. She then recommended Dr. Dave (thanks Brandy!!) and I went in that very morning. He asked some questions, had me lie down on the treatment table and pressed on various spots on my back, then told me I had an inflamed hip joint because my hips were out of alignment. He gave me a treatment, and it felt as if a HUGE amount of pressure was taken off my spine! I was able to stand up, and though there was still pain, it was 1,000 times better. I scheduled a number of follow up appointments and am fine now - no stiffness, no pain, and as a side benefit - more energy - and my lower back doesn't look chubby because it's no longer inflamed! I can't thank Dr. Dave enough...I was despairing, wondering if I'd have to resign myself to disability and a lifetime of incapacitating pain and restricted movement. I've told my friends to see him and HIGHLY recommend him. I'm now a firm believer in the benefits of GOOD chiro care to help get my body firing on all cylinders, and that an ongoing program of maintenance is part of a healthy lifestyle...I believe it because I've experienced it!!! read more

Dr. David Schinnerer is a Chiropractor I trust. I run a very busy chiropractic clinic in town so I think I have the knowledge to know what I say to be true. Dr. Schinnerer is very good at his craft of administering great adjustments with the intention to heal his patients. We use him when we are on vacation that is how much we trust him! read more

Dr. Dave is amazing! More than anything, he LISTENS to you! When he asks what is wrong and where it hurts, he looks at you. It may seem like a simple connection but when I am in pain, that connection is invaluable. He has a gentle touch and a lovely bedside manner. I have recommended him several times and will keep going to him myself. read more

I recently got into a car accident and I've been coming to Dr.Dave ever since. He's wonderful! He actually listens to exactly what you need and fixes it. One doc that actually cares! read more

Dr. Dave is aces, exceptionally convenient to book an appointment, positive attitude, and a comfortable environment.

I had back problems as a young adult and have used Chiropractors for 55 years and close to that many different ones. I used Dr Dave from about 2000 to 2008 and then we moved to rural Riverside County. I used a number of Chiropractors in that area. Still the problems became more severe until I explored surgery and any other treatment that might help, but to no avail. I remembered Dr Dave when I was staying in Orange County and decided to drive to Altadena. I started to see results after the first visit, now after 4 weekly visits, the change is so dramatic, that to me it is a miracle. I will continue to drive to Lake Chiropractic to seek Dr Dave's help, I would drive twice the distance if needed. We are blessed the Dr Dave is continuing to serve his Chiropractic patients using the skill and knowledge he has acquired. read more

Dr. Dave is the most easy going chiropractor I have ever had. Not only that he is very skilled and knowledgable at what he does. He was able to pinpoint my neck problems and within one session I stopped getting my intense headaches. I am a lifetime client of Lake Chiropractic and I highly recommend going to him for all your chiropractic needs. Did I mention his office is very warm and welcoming? All these little things make a big difference when you're seeing a medical professional. 6 out of 5 stars! read more

Dr. Schinnerer is the first chiropractor I have ever been to, and he helped sort out neck and shoulder pain that was bothering me for ages. He sat down with me on my first visit and mapped out a comprehensive plan of treatment to help with my problems, and was very attentive to all my concerns during follow up appointments. Great service, excellent results. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

Dr. Dave always gets me feeling better, love everyone here. Good listening, sound advice, excellent care are the way they roll on Lake Avenue. Emma does the best massage therapy and I love how i always feel better after I've been in. Would definitely recommend! read more

I have been going to Dr Schinnerer for over 20 years after several back injuries. He is a wonderful, kind, attentive Chiropractor and generally a great human being! He is someone I trust to get me back on my feet.. He listens not only to your back complaints but through the years we have shared stories of our children growing up and I feel like I am in the the presence of a friend. I have recommended him to several of my friends and family and they all say the same thing. "When you told me this guy was a wonderful Dr you were right!" read more

Dr Dave is simply the best. He knows exactly what needs to be done and lays it out in lay mans terms for you. This is a great family practice who is really concerned about your health and not there wallet. He spends 10-15 min with each patient and is quick with a joke. overall best chiropractor I've ever been too. read more

I was referred to Dr Dave by a friend who has been seeing him for years. I had never been to a chiropractor and was fearful to go, but Dr Dave had such a good sense of humor and thoroughly explain everything to me as he was treating me. He was able to get me in the day after my friend referred me. I drove 50 miles to his office and it was totally worth the trip. I felt 100% better when I left there today. I highly recommend Dr Dave. read more

I've been having some major back issues these past few years. But the funny thing about Dr. Dave as he told me to call him because his last name may be a challenge to say, I stumbled across paths with him on accident. Best stumbled I've encountered since originally I came to his office looking for and acupuncturist that shared the same building who had moved out of the building literally a week before or maybe even a few days before I got to the office. So even though I was there for another reason Dr. Dave was very intentive on wondering what my issues were going on with me. As we further into my issues somethings he diagnosed that he could possibly help with. And he did some of my back issues we're gone in weeks. But that's not what impressed me the most, what really stood out in my mind was the fact that he genuinely cared, extremely friendly and intentive to my need, and the fact that he told me that hey we will do a few sessions and if you feel like this is not working out then we can stop at any time. That blew my mind to show that he really did care and was not about trying to take me for my money like other chiropractors I've dealt with in the past. The staff outstandingly friendly and caring and and Dr. Dave is just an awesome person and then a doctor and that's really very impressive to me. So he help me out within a month then I stopped going for a while in about a month later I return to his servicesBecause my back started hurting again but this time worse than before due to some extra health issues I've been dealing with. This time he's even up the ante doing extra things at no extra cost which is awesome. I really appreciate the person he is first and the doctor he is second I highly recommend anyone going to him for back issues or what other issues chiropractors can help with he's got a pretty big clientele base that I really was surprised to see. But I can totally understand why so I highly recommend going to him. read more

Ahhhhmazing!!!! Love this guy, love his work! I'm from out of town and put my out of place neck in his care and he's magic also he has a great heart and it shows thank you much dr David read more

I was a non believer & skeptic who thought chiropractors were waste of time & money. Than My back seized while chasing the cat in the garden. I could barely move; standing, sittings& turning were near impossible. Forget driving . After a week of immobility & pain I was desperate for relief. My roommate suggested I see her Chiro. It was affordable, I found someone to drive me and nothing else had worked so why not. Dr. Dave made me convert. I may have hobbled in tha morning but I walked out. It was instant relief, turns out I have trick hip. I'm a huge fan & highly recommend his services. He is friendly, personable & explains what all he will be doing. I have much more flexibility in my back & hip. My back hasn't felt this good since my youth. Have a go, you won't be sorry. LL read more
