Here I am a year later and I cannot praise this man enough. My disc pains are gone and my back feels great! After only 10 treatments did I mention? So now I go him every 45 days for maintenance - minor readjustments that happen from daily life and work routine. My husband goes to him too now and can't be happier. His treatments combine everything from a real deep tissue massage to correcting misalignments, relieving stress and rejuvenating the body. So once again a year later I highly recommend him. read more

I was to a point where I was getting dizzy and numbness in my finger and one touch and he told me I was in a car accident and my left side was out of alignment. Who knew I didn't even think it was from the accident which was a couple of years ago. THANK YOU!!! Please if you are suffering from pain believe in his work and he will give u results read more

In 2006 I had the worst sciatica attack at work (Glendale Adventist inhouse pharmacy), and one of my pharmacist, who previously had a severe herniated disk, had been treated by Hratch which resulted in a diagnosed surgery requirement from his doctors by 15 years. He sent me to Hratch, and I went to him for 2 treatments. It is now 2016 and I have since not experienced any type of sciatic pain. Anytime someone comes to me for a referral for any type of pain that can be treated via acupressure, I refer them to Hratch, because he saved my life and prevented me from enduring excruciating pain for a decade. read more

Hratch is truly amazing I went in with great amount of pain in my back and neck, after his treatment I felt great. I look forward to his treatments because of how great his results are read more

I've had lingering and chronic pain in various parts of my body for years. I tried regular massage, acupuncture, chiropractors, physical therapy... you name it. Hratch is the most interesting man you will meet. He is full of interesting observations and is a very animated individual. He is also extremely dedicated to his work. I have never experienced such a thorough and specific type of massage. Hratch's therapy involves getting your body into the proper alignment .Don't expect Burke-Williams or anything, it's a very basic room with no frills. And it's painful, don't get me wrong, but I feel the benefits afterwards. The proof is in his schedule-it's almost impossible to get in, unless you make several appointments in advance. He is THAT in demand. If you have been left unsatisfied with your current massage or chiropractic therapies, I highly recommend that you give Hratch a try! read more

The worst experience ever!!! If I could give minus 10 starts I would! Not sure who these people are who gave 5 stars. Save your money and go see a professional not a 'doctor' who's got no medical background. Not sure if the 'business' is even legit since it's cash only and did not see any diplomas or any permits anywhere. Simply amazed how easy to brain wash people these days with inspirational talk. Might as well go to church an prey for free than pay $90 a session and have this person heal you - geez what a joke! read more

I've been seeing Hratch for over 5 years and he keeps me walking. His method of healing is his own and it works for me and for the 7 people I have recommended him to. I am post polio, knee replacement, walk with a cane and overweight. He keeps me walking. I go 2x a month. read more

Hratch Missakian has a gift that has literally changed my life. I had terrible back problems, and treated with 2 chiropractors for over a year, with no real long term results. I was told I was misalgined, I had a psiatic issue, one of my legs was longer than the other, etc. Basically, I was receiving diagnoses but not being cured. I went to Hratch only twice initially, and have never felt the pain since. I have now been going to him for 3 years and will continue to for as long as he works, (I told him he is not allowed to retire). Even when I dont feel pain or have issues (quite often the case), I still have a standing appointment to see him once a month. I always keep those appointments because the fine tuning he does to me monthly also keeps me in good condition. I have refered Hratch to dozens of people, and have never heard anything negative about him; it is actually quite the opposite. Above all else, he is a wonderful person and puts his clients health as his top priority. His therapy is a total body treatment and the results are amazing. He cured my wife's carpel tunnel syndrome, a client could not even walk because of his pain and he cured him, he cured another friend's terrible migraines.....the list goes on and on. I would (and do very often) recommend him to anyone who feels any body pain or needs to get realigned. read more

I've been going to Hratch now for 6 years and it's incredible. I started going twice a month due to lower back pain and when he resolved that I went on a maintenance schedule. Helped a lot!!!! read more

Hratch I'm speechless. Your techniques are beyond any other professional. Caring when addressing each pain. Always calls you the day before to remind you of your appointment. I've always enjoyed my sessions with Hratch, for number of reason, although I'm happy to name 2 of them. 1) Comfort 2) Results Look forward to our next session. read more

I was suffering from a Sciatic Nerve for a couple years. Someone recommended me to try Acupressure with Hratch Missakian. He has been absolutely wonderful in helping me. I've been to many Chiropractors with no luck, however, this Acupressure was the only thing that seemed to work for me. I have decided to go once a month in order to prevent my Sciatic Nerve and also as a maintenance to my health. I highly recommend him for anyone and everyone with any type of pain. read more

Hratch is amazing! I can see why it's so difficult to get an appointment. I was prepared to let him know what my issues have been but he started on me right away and knew what the problem was. His treatment isn't the standard basic you get everywhere. So impressed with his knowledge. He would point out where issues were and fix them instantly. I'm not calling him Hratch...he's The Back Whisperer. Simply amazing!!! read more

So I went to Hratch Missakian with multiple problems. I have suffered two disc protrusions as well as severe sciatic nerve problem. I went to acupuncture, physical therapy and shock therapy. I didn't know what else to do. Nothing was helping and I couldn't sit or stand. I looked like a grandma walking around at the age of 27. I finally got an mri done and went to Hratch Missakian's office. I told him that I brought my mri results for him to view and he said "There is no need for that. Just lay down and I'll tell you exactly what you have." And that is exactly what he did. I was amazed! I have only gone by him 4 times but wowwwwww I feel a world of difference. After 7 months of suffering from severe pain he helped me!! I will forever be his client. Not only while I have this probably but after as well for a massage! Thank you so much for everything!!! read more

Hratch's acupressure method has been the only thing to give my husband some much needed relief. He had been suffering from shoulder and hip pain for months and nothing seemed to help until we found Mr. Missakian. We were lucky enough to get in after a cancellation, as he is booked for more than a month out! That has to be solid proof of how great he is. Not only did he help my husband feel better instantly, his attitude and personality made the appointment enjoyable. He loves what he does and he is dedicated to helping people feel better. His method is not for the weak, so I recommend that you do not waste your time (or his) if you can't handle pain. Days later, my husband still feels great. We will definitely be going back for as long as Mr. Missakian will have us! read more

I would recommend Hratch to anyone who is having back spasm or any type of muscle spasms. Hratch knows how to get you back on your feet quickly. Highly recommended for people with chronic back problems. read more

I had two damaged nerves in my lower back which caused mid and upper back pains and ultimately led to should and neck pain, not to mention migraine-like headaches. This got worse within a matter of one year. After switching 5 chiropractors, three MDs, the final choice was getting surgery to get metal plate in my lower back. I was only 20 years old at the time. Thank God a coworker referred me to Hratch Missakian. This man doesn't do x-ray, MRI, etc. He is probably the ONLY person outdoor who knows the entire muscular and skeletal body. Thank you Hratch Missakian for helping me walk normally again and be on my feet. Thank you for your monthly maintenance to ensure I stay healthy and in shape. read more

This guys is a MIRACLE worker. I went to him with fractured spin, misplaced hip, messed up neck and leg pain, I could barely walk and now I'm dancing. He was the 5th and the last specialist that I went to and I will always continue going to him. read more

Hratch is AMAZING! I have a torn meniscus and have been in pain for 6 months. After going to Hratch couple of times , I dont wear my knee brace anymore, i can walk normal again, i sleep great and the pain has gone away. I'm SO thankful and he is a MIRACLE! read more

I met Hratch 18 months ago. I was diagnosed with piriformis syndrome that impeached me to sit more than 5 mn without feeling a deep pain in my upper leg. Doctors wanted to put me under pain killers or prescribe infiltration. I was not up for it as I felt I was too young for that and I was more looking for a treatment than masking a pain. I ended up at Hratch's office and after the first cession I was able to take a long car drive to San Diego with my pain level down from 100% to 30%! I continued going 2 times a week for one month and since then, I go every 5 weeks for well being. The technique Hratch uses is very simple: no matter where your pain is, it probably comes from misalignment of your body somewhere. So Hratch starts realigning your muscles which feels like an extremely strong massage. Then once everything is aligned he applies oil all over your body and finishes by a less strong massage. Yes, it can be painful at times and yes you may get bruised. But hey, didn't you get there in the first place because of a worst pain? Hratch's personality is unique, joyful, expressive, he is a man of culture and very often our conversations turn around food. He is a foodie! I do appreciate the various music he puts on to help you relax during the sessions. Classical music, French classics, among others. It is true that Hratch is very spiritual. But like all truly spiritual people, he is very respectful and embraces you not necessarily being a believer. I would highly recommend a few sessions there to make you feel better in your body and in your mind. read more

Dr. Hratch truly does have miracle hands. I've been going to him for two years now. I had many back pains and muscle pains. My business partner recommended that I go see him... WOW I can't be more grateful. Dr. Hratch is very friendly and explained how my body works in detail... he is very knowledgeable and truly does cure your problems. My wife and I like to call him the Bruce Lee of Acupressure I highly recommend him if you have any pain! read more

My trainer recommended Hratch to me and I will be forever grateful to her. I have had chronic low back pain and years of chiropractic adjustments didn't really do much. I now see Hratch once a month and my back feels better than it ever has. Make no mistake about it, sometimes the treatment hurts, but the payoff is amazing!! Hratch is a gifted healer and quite a renaissance man who is knowledgable in many areas...music, history, current events. Always an interesting hour spent in his presence. If you are open to alternative medicine, then I strongly suggest you try Hratch Missakian. read more

Hratch is the only healer that was able to release my hip pain over 8 years ago. I went to a chiropractor, tried massage, acupuncture and nothing helped. I could not sit down. After a few treatments I was able to sit and feel normal again after experiencing intense pain for 4 weeks. I initially went to see Hratch 2 times per week until the pain was resolved. I continue to see Hratch at least 2 times per month and feel the results. What he does is align my body, releases negative emotion and stress from my body. I have a very stressful job running a non-profit and I would not be healthy without the help of Hratch's treatments. Recently, I hurt my knee and he was able to relieve the pain in one session. I am also a personal trainer and know Hratch is very gifted and intuitive. Sometimes I walk in his office and He tells me where I am hurting without me telling him. He is a necessity for my health. I am grateful for this man. read more

I am simply amazed. Hrach is not just skilled, this man is gifted. His technique, his positivity and just the vibe that he gives off is magic. I went to his office for the first time, not knowing what to expect but feeling hopeful. He didn't ask me what hurts, why I came in, he didn't ask me anything really. I'll admit, I thought this was strange but within moments I understood why he didn't ask me anything. It's because HE ALREADY KNOWS EVERYTHING. No sarcasm. This man told me everything from the position I sleep in to when I last had my menstrual cycle. WOW, just WOW! My lower back has been hurting for so long, and he fixed it, I feel like my body is back on center. During the treatment, he joked and we laughed about all sorts of things. I didn't feel uncomfortable at any point during my experience. The only thing I kept thinking about was - I wonder what his availability will be like next month & I really hope he can squeeze in my mom and sister sometime. There are no words to describe how incredible my experience was. I'm blown away and I can't wait to come back for some more. If you have pain, or even if you don't, visit Hrach, it will be the best decision you've ever made. Defiantly going to make visits to his office a part of my monthly routine. read more

Hratch is my life saver! I've been diagnosed with disk degeneration & bulging disks that causes my sciatica & chronic back pain which is not common at my age. For few years that I have this severe & constant pain on my left leg, it came to the point that I couldn't walk and can't even sit down for few minutes. I've been bed ridden for few months, tried everything, physical therapy, acupuncture, therapeutic massage, chiropractors none of them have help me cure or ease the pain. I stopped all my medications becoz of all the side effects that I had. I was decided to try the epidural & surgery until a friend of my step daughter recommended Hratch to try his treatment first before going into surgery. I did & I'm glad I did coz now I can walk & be normal again. It was painful of course but the results in just a day or two is unbelievable. I felt so much relief and I plan to stay with his treatment as my maintenance. My husband and I recommended him to all our friends and relatives. We have faith in him and I know God uses his hands & knowledge to cure people. read more
