I write this review with tears of happiness! I broke my pelvis 4 years ago and with covid and life never really got good PT. I'm also a swimmer and it appears that my body did some neat little adaptive redesigning to keep me swimming all these years with an injury until one day, a few months ago, my hip said "no way" and my leg gave out walking down the stairs. The pain in my hip was insane - had to use crutches, and slipped into a massive depression. Enter Dr. Mike. First, he is almost too knowledgable (!) and as a former athlete himself I find myself asking him hundreds of questions which he warmly and patiently answers even though I'm sure I'm making him crazy! Most importantly, he's the real deal - this isn't "crack your back" and be off with you - this is "its going to hurt like hell but I'm going to push and prod until I get your body back to its literal right and best shape" .... (yea, it hurts. And it hurts for a few days after - he says ice!) but even knowing his fingers of steel are going to work their magic in a most painful way, I still literally almost do a Tigger the Tiger bounce right into his office each time ... because after only 3 treatments I basically have restored full mobility to my hip and went for my first swim this week after months of sitting on the couch in pain. HOORAY!!!! Everyone should see this man even if you are not an athlete, and if you are, then run... or in my case limp in and I promise you in a few weeks you will be running or lapping your way back to joy! read more

I have had lower back pain on-and-off for the past year or so. I have a regular chiropractor in San Diego, but I happened to be in LA for a week for an event and my lower back started giving me trouble. I was referred to Dr. Mensah by my regular chiropractor and he made time to see me within hours and really helped relieve the tightness in my lower back. Will definitely be back next time I'm in LA and in need. read more

A friend recommended Dr. Mike and it was a perfect recommendation. I felt better after a few visits. He was knowledgeable and friendly. All of the staff were great. Dena at the desk was terrific and I got a great massage from Ryan. Major thanks to all of them! read more

This place is a little hidden gem off Holloway in Weho. The staff is really personable and easy on the eyes I must say. I hesitate to give too good of a review because then I may not be able to get in with the ease that I am accustom to on short notice. I've really gotten into taking the workout classes that are offered in the back studio. It's a very private environment. I HATE gyms so this is perfect for me. The treatments are also pretty great. So if you're in need for a new chiro or massage, check it out. read more

Mensah Chiropractic - U-Fit class. Hard AF. - Chiropractors Near Me - West Hollywood, California

I can t even remember how many times Mike has fixed my sports related injuries in the past five years. He s a miracle worker and I m just getting old, but he keeps on adjusting, curing and aligning my body back to perfection. I m getting treated right now got a sprained knee, and we are keeping my lower back hernia in check, I don t eve feel it. The secret is to be consistent and go steadily, not letting too much time pass between one session and the next one. I recommended him to friends and family members and we have all been satisfied. The location is convenient and quiet , clean and respectful of all the Covid requirements for safety . There s street parking until 6 pm and assigned parking in the back. read more

Can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Mike and the team at Mensah Chiropractic.

Dr Mensah is the man. Super knowledgeable and kind, Dr Mensah Fixes / healed issues in a holistic way quicker than any doctor. Fun fact if you're an athlete - he trained with Usain Bolt. Unlike many doctors in LA who push for more and more follow up appointments, Dr Mensah fixes issues effectively in often just a few appointments. The fee for first time patients is well worth it as you will see after one appointment. Fees are roughly half first time for each follow up. Very fair on insurance which covered half my fee. read more

I have been a going to Dr. Mike for three years now. I seem to find new ways to injure myself. I limp in and walk out. He's amazing, he's talented, he's knowledgeable, he's funny, he's professional, he's kind, he's generous. I could go on and on...but, I won't.​ If you need help from someone you can count on, he's your guy. BTW, his new office is great with EZ parking and a wonderful receptionist that actually knows your name. What more could you ask for? How about a massage therapist and acupuncturist that work with your chiropractor to make you better. TEAMWORK​!!! read more

Thank you BuzzFeed for introducing me to Dr Mike and Uplift!! Been coming here for a little over a year now. Going to a new chiropractor can be scary at first but Dr Mike is easy going, does a super thorough assessment, and explains everything he is doing and why he is doing it so you feel super comfortable when he's making your body make some crazy cracking sounds! Massages here are also excellent. The massage really focuses on your problem areas and works together with the adjustments that Dr Mike makes which I really appreciate. Dr Mike even had Liticia my massage therapist sit in on my appt with him to get a better idea of the areas to target and why certain muscles are tight. Easy to see what appt slots are available on the Mind Body app and book through there so I can schedule a massage and chiro back to back. Def some later appts too which is helpful for getting there after work. Parking can be tough sometimes but there are a few spots in the back and street/metered parking. If you feel tight at all, any back/neck pain, or even sit or stand for long periods of time, I'd highly recommend going to Dr Mike and the rest of the Uplift staff. Watch the BuzzFeedBlue video - People Get Their Bones Professionally Cracked! read more

Finding a chiropractor that is knowledgeable, sensitive, kind, and attentive is next to impossible here in LA, but this place is all of that and more. In just a few short sessions, Dr. Mensah completely healed my patellar tendinitis. His number one priority was getting me healthy ASAP, and it worked. If/when I get hurt again, this will 1000% where I go. read more

I found out about Dr. Mensah from a buzzfeed video. Something about the video made me say hey, I wanna go there. My initial contact had some follow thru lost and I sort of forgot about going. Then one day my normal Chiropractor basically stood me up. So out of desperation of wanting to be seen the same day I reached out to Uplift. When I called I was pretty demanding and basically would not take no for an answer and wanted a same day appointment. Surprisingly it worked. I had pain pressing my nerve so I had the nerve to press for the same day appointment. (Yes, pun intended) This is a text/email friendly office which makes things super convenient! So I get there and a smiley face was there to greet me! Sammie was super genuine and helpful. Michael who handles all the decisions was sitting on the couch conducting business, but it didn't bother me. He chit chatted with me in between his phone holding. The couch in the waiting area doesn't feel like it's for long term sitting but I made it through all my new patient paperwork and finally made it in with Dr. Mensah. Ohhhh you think Sammie's smile is big and bright, Dr. Mensah gives her a run for the money. (Can you tell I like smiley faces?) So after the typical New patient hundreds of questions Dr. Mensah got to work. Oh em geeee! So I've been to my fair share of chiros, so I think I'm a pretty good judge of this. Dr Mensah is fab! Now here's what is creepy to me. (Yes, You're gonna think I'm crazy) the cracking he does is so friggin amplified. So I've been to a holistic chiro who doesn't crack (yes, it's effective) and I've been to a bunch who crack but their cracks seem so quiet. It's like Dr. Mensah finds deep bone cracking. I promise with every crack I'm a little nervous after hearing it, thinking Oh my gosh will that part of my body still work? But the best part is after I feel so great. You never KNOW how much you need a chiropractor UNTIL you have had a good one and then don't keep up with the treatment every so often. Now after all this cracking Dr. Mensah will give you exercises to help. DO THEM they work :) I had a massage with Jamie. Funny thing she is so soft spoken, nice but gently brutal with your massage. Now don't get me wrong, this massage wasn't so much for relaxing, it was a treatment massage with concentration on parts Dr. Mensah wanted to work on. I like massages that are as DEEP as possible, but a couple of times during the massage for my treatment felt like I was going to crack all my teeth from gritting them. Lol but seriously after I really felt improvement and I will happily do it again. Of course the uncomfortable part came from the issues I was having so every bit of it was needed. So yes, this is my new chiropractic home. If you can't drive or don't park well, the parking lot here is a doozy and you'll have a difficult time. It's West Hollywood so there will be no street parking and of course traffic going there no matter what time of the day it is will be ugly. That's the only bad thing I can say about Uplift, but not so bad if you live in Los Angeles you're use to it. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Mike Mensah for a few months now and he is the best chiropractor I have been to! I have scoliosis which causes me back pain everyday and each time I visit I feel better and better. Not the same old routine everytime you visit, he really takes the time to listen to you and address your needs at every visit. I always leave feeling so great and refreshed. They play really relaxing spa music that I love and the office is clean and comfortable. It is always super easy to make an appointment (I just called at 2:30 to make an appointment for tonight with no problem). I can't wait to try the acupuncture, too. Mensah is the bomb and I would recommend him to anyone!! read more

In real life this clinic changed my life. First good energy is really important to me. Some people use that for like BS. For me good energy is really important and this is a place no matter how your days going when you walk in you get fresh Fiji water and people are speaking to you and listening and everyone is just really friendly and cares. It kinda of feels like you walked into a secret Garden zone Dr. Mike the chiropractor. Is super amazing. I was in a car crash things were looking really bleak this was about three months ago. He put me on this amazing program and although I'm still recovering he helped me make drastic improvements physically and psychologically. Then massage and acupuncture two different things but they're both super wonderful. Once I was in China and had a massage for blind man. When he was massaging me he knew my whole medical history and it was like a spiritual experience. I feel like the massage and acupuncture here is the closest thing I've had to that experience in the states. Everyone who works here is connected it with the body and will help you in an intuitive medical way. I'm most important thing to know is once you go here you're really join the family of people that genuinely care about your Health. Like a good teacher going above and beyond to make sure the child does not just taking information but actually learns. They will make sure you don't just take in treatments but you actually recover and/or go from wherever you are to a more excellent healthy place. Since we only get one body to lay vendor in this life I think making sure it's in the best state possible is really important. This is the place to do it:) read more

I've gone to quite a few chiropractors over the course of my life and none have come close to Dr. Mike. His level of professionalism, expertise and knowledge are unmatched. He's thorough, takes his time and makes sure to address every concern you bring to him. I played competitive softball for over 12 years and have struggled with shoulder pain on and off for years. Mike was able to adjust my shoulders in such a way where I felt relief almost immediately. He's a kind individual, cares about his patients and goes above and beyond to make sure you leave better than you came in. I've referred several friends to him. He's truly the best in the business and I'm so thankful that I was referred to him. Thank you for everything, Dr. Mike! read more

I have been getting adjustments from Dr. Mike Mensah for a few years now, and I'm so happy that he's made such a great home at Uplift. It's private and quiet--just steps away from Sunset Blvd. It's clean. It's comfortable. It smells good. Everyone--including Dr. Mike--is as nice as can be and you'll leave feeling great. Mike is an excellent chiropractor; he took the time to listen to what I thought I needed and asked me the right questions to figure out what I actually needed. As an athlete, I appreciate his sensibilities and for taking my active lifestyle into account during treatment. I felt great during training the following day! A+ CLINIC! read more

Barlow Clinic is amazing! Staff are very professional and knowledgeable I went and saw Dr Mike after I had experienced numbing pain in my right leg for months. Dr Mike was able to treat me and within weeks the pain had gone and i was feeling better than ever. Barlow also has a massage service and they were able to co-ordinate my sessions between Chiro and physio. on the business side... very trust worthy! No insurance scams. They do everything they can to make it an affordable experience Thanks Barlow Clinic! read more

This place is amazing!! Staff is on top of scheduling and making sure you have a positive experience. I called to set up appointment and was able to get one for the next day with insurance benefits verified and courteous staff was icing on the cake. Dr. Mensah is awesome and really informative. Tiffany was super amazing and extremely efficient. She made sure that I had all the information I needed so when I came in I didn't have to sit and fill out paperwork for a half hour. I can't recommend this place enough. Get your body straight and your life right, all in one stop read more

I've been to a lot of Chiropractors but this is easily the best one. Wow! Amazing service, really smart and educated and knows exactly how to fix the problems you have! read more

I very rarely write reviews, but this time I have to do it. I have had a back problem for many years and of course I went to a chiropractor. After visiting Dr. Michael, I realized that I had done something wrong to the chiropractor before. Dr. Michael performed the procedures very carefully and carefully, fixed my back with sports tape. The next day I felt great. If you have problems that a Chiropractor can solve, then I recommend contacting this doctor. read more

Dr. Mensah is the BEST Chiropractor in Los Angeles! He is extremely knowledgeable and always does a thorough assessment at every visit. He is professional and trustworthy, which is super important when you're in his specialty. I highly recommend him to everyone! read more

The staff at uplift is amazing!!! I look forward to my weekly visits. I'm a competitive Crossfitter and weightlifter so my body takes a beating but since I've been going to uplift for acupuncture/cupping/massage my body recovers a lot faster. Only regret I have is not going there sooner!!! read more

These guys are phenomenal. I am a triathlete and began coming here to work on specific target muscle groups. Michael Hamilton is the best massage therapist in Weho. Hands down. DR Mensah is also an athlete, actually competed collegiately, so he knows all of the issues I come across and knows how to treat and advise on physical therapy and does stellar chiro. read more

**Classpass review** Brenna's barre classes are amazing! The classes are small and focused. Brenna changes up the routine each class but always includes some light weight work, a good amount of time at the barre and then some ab work/stretching. Brenna is very positive and great at correcting form. I really feel like I'm taking a ballet class rather than typical barre. Recommended. read more

I had a migraine at 10:59. No migraine now! First visit at Uplift and with Dr Mike. He's amazing and teaches you every thing he does and all the names and why things are the way they are. I love to know what's happening in my body and so this thrilled my soul. He is the first chiropractor I have ever been to that softens up your muscles before an adjustment. Seems logical, but he's the first nonetheless. Makes for a much more comfortable adjustment. I went in an achy, waddling mess and came out walking tall and pain free. You're stuck with me now, Dr Mike! I feel like a new woman. read more

Finding Michael today was a god send. I came in with a sports injury, and now my pain is nearly gone. Your body and mind will love you if you spend time with Michael. read more

I have never been a believer in Chiropractors and Massage Therapy, but Dr. Mike Mensah has changed my mind. His knowledge and therapy has kept me being active and healed my injuries. Furthermore he has helped prevent injuries going forward. His educates you not only what has happened, but how to prevent further physical injury. He is the only person I will go and see when I am injured and he is the only person I will recommend to my friends. Hands down the best in town!. read more

Being a collegiate athlete who was going through serious physical boundries, I thought my running career was coming to an end at only 22 years old. When I was told about the Barlow clinic and how successful their previous clients have been I had to schedule an appointment immediately. I was suffering from a serious Achilles injury that was taking a toll on my daily activities let alone trying to run at a competitive level again. The second I walked in I knew that things were going to turn around for me. the environment and energy in the office is outstanding. I would go to see Mike, once a week for an analysis and adjustment, and see nick for acupuncture as well. They both take their time, are not in any rush and are clearly their to get you better. The whole staff is extremely friendly, highly educated and find the root of the issue to make you succeed in what ever health benefit you are seeking. Finding the Barlow clinic is a major factor why I am back to running competitively, it is easy to give them a 5 star rating, do your self a favor and seek out the Barlow clinic in West Hollywood California to make your life more comfortable, feel happier and achieve the health goals you are working towards! read more

These guys are great. I've seen Michael for a while now. Best massage in town. Dr Mensah is awesome too. Everyone is also very easy on the eyes. read more

The practioners are just incredible, always sensitive to their patients needs and amazing at what they do. The staff is great and the facility is charming and comfortable, very much an oasis from the city outside is walls. Highly, highly recommended. read more

I treated myself to a massage on my birthday, and I wasn't let down! It was by far the best massage I've ever had. Michael has magic hands and his techniques are awesome. The Uplift studio is a hidden gem, and very relaxing inside. I will definitely be going back for more massages and checking out some of their other offerings. read more

The entire staff at Uplift is amazing!! They really take care of their clients and the experience is exceptional. I came in to see Dr. Mike because I had done something to my lower back and couldn't stand up straight. He went right to work with combinations of stimulation, muscle manipulation, and finally adjustments to get me back on track. He gave me exercises to do at home and before working out to help strengthen the muscles so that I could avoid the same injury. I saw him a few times over the next 2 weeks because the muscle was still tight and every time I left the office, I felt better!! If you have any wellness concerns, the folks at Uplift should definitely be on your list of who to consult!! read more

I was visiting my friend in LA while I pulled a muscle in my lower back. There is nothing worse than getting injured while away from home and without your normal chiropractor. Luckily my friend referred me to Dr. Mike Mensah who was able to work me into his schedule for some treatment. As someone who has been seeing chiropractors on and off for 10 years, I can honestly say he is one of the very best! He was extremely thorough in identifying the root cause of my pain and did a wonderful job explaining the mechanics of what was happening. The treatment was excellent which included some electro stimulation, massage, and adjustment. He also taught me some exercises to do for my core to help prevent further injury. Not to mention, he is extremely nice and caring. If you're looking for a great chiropractor with excellent skill and bedside manner, you've found him! read more

I took the barre class here with Brenna. She was an amazing teacher and really took the time to break down the moves so you get the best workout possible. As others have said this place is a little hidden gem, peaceful and quiet tucked away off Holloway and Palm ave. great walkable location but very serene indoors! Everyone was nice and friendly. read more

I've been going to dr mike for the last year and idk how he does it, but I walk in messed up by an injury, and by the time I walk out, I'm fixed up and mobile again feeling 100 by the next day. I've never experienced such quick recovery with any doctor before. Magic. Bomb staff. Personable, professional. read more

I have to give this place 5 stars ,I've been coming here for almost a year now . I come for my lower back pain and after my treatment I'm pain free . The massage is always incredible -- thanks to Michael . I also love my adjustment from the best chiro-- Dr Mike . And the acupuncture by Nicolas and I would say its superb !!! They're very accommodating, professional and of course they give me VIP treatment . The place reminds me of "the secret garden " .. I'm definitely recommending Barlow chiro to my associates .. read more

I've been going to the clinic for a couple years and I leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated every time. My acupuncture and massage treatments are first rate; Nick is highly knowledgeable and provides excellent quality care with my acupuncture treatments, and Michael is the best CMT I've ever experienced. The clinic is very clean and provides a relaxing environment. Additionally, the entire staff are professional and truly make you feel right at home. I appreciate everything you have done for me and give my highest recommendations. Thank you! read more

Since discovering this place because of my shoulder pain, I started coming regularly for their fitness classes. It's been three months now that I've been taking four classes a week and I'm loving it. The classes are intimate and the trainers are great. Very personal care and a great work out. After only three months, I'm grateful that I'm totally pain free, stronger and in better shape than I've been in years. read more

With a rib popped out from a weightlifting injury I had to find a fix for the injury and in a quick fashion. Seeing the Uplift team and having the opinions of professionals really helped fix the pain. Giving me training programs to help recover and regular appointments to fully cure the issue. read more

Let me start by saying that this place is my "safe haven." Your first introduction to the clinic is the amazing courtyard with its natural stone walkway, a small water fountain as its centerpiece, and a striking red front door that seems to contrast the natural earth colors of the backdrop. Walking to the clinic, I'm transported to what I imagine a rustic European cottage would be like and feel my mind and body begin to decompress. I've been visiting the Barlow Clinic for over a year and can't praise Nicholas and his entire staff enough for always being so warm and inviting. I've always been interested in getting acupuncture treatments but been turned off after heading horrid stories of bad bedside manner of the therapists and substandard cleaning of materials used. That is NOT something you'll have to worry about at the Barlow clinic. The staff is meticulous about refreshing the treatment rooms between each new guest and I've never had a treatment and not heard Nicholas ripping open a package of new needles for my treatment. The massage treatments I receive from Michael are the best I've gotten ANYWHERE. In fact, I find myself waiting to get on schedule with Michael rather than go for treatments elsewhere. Michael's techniques are on par with (if not well above) the massage professionals of LA's most exclusive Spas. Though my issues are mainly in my neck and shoulder areas, I will frequently get a total body massage to alleviate the stress and tension from a busy work week! The Barlow Clinic has a hidden gem in Michael and you DON'T want to miss out on an opportunity of receiving a massage treatment from him. Now back to the oh-so-amazing acupuncture treatments...it is not an understatement when I say I have never felt better than when receiving regular acupuncture treatments. Not long after starting my acupuncture treatments, my sleep improved so much that I was no longer waking up several times throughout the night. I wake up in the morning feeling rested and rejuvenated, something I never thought I'd experience. I have more energy throughout the day and no longer feel run down. My body is working in a groove...and I feel better as a result of it. Thank you Barlow Clinic for allowing me to experience the true meaning of Zen. read more

Started at Barlow about a year ago. Came for some chiropractic work on recommendation from a friend. She said to meet with Dr. Mike Mensa. Wow, glad she did. Mike and the Barlow team are great. Great office decor as well if you care about that too. read more
