I can't recommend Dr. Leo/ New Era enough! What truly sets him apart is his focus on long-term, sustainable solutions rather than just a quick adjustment that only feels good in the moment. He always takes the time to explain the mechanics behind what's causing my pain and why specific movements or exercises help. My favorite part of his approach is that he equips me with targeted strengthening exercises to do at home, empowering me to address the root cause and stay pain-free over time. I also really appreciate how diligent he is about tracking my pain and condition over time. He constantly checks in on my progress to ensure things are actually improving--and if they aren't, he thoughtfully adapts the approach until we get results. If you're looking for a chiro who genuinely understands how the body works and helps you achieve lasting relief, this is the place to go! read more

I had been looking for a chiropractor for some time and came upon New Era Chiropractic. Dr. Leo is very knowledgeable in his craft. During my initial consultation and exam, he identified a hip alignment issue I didn't know I had that was causing one of my legs to be shorter than the other. He explained how that imbalance was likely the root of many of my recurring back problems. His attention to detail and ability to get to the source of my pain is why I keep coming back. read more

I started coming to Dr. Matsumoto post partum due to my back pain, and he helped me get back to moving around and lifting my kids. He always has good suggestions on exercises and how to stay healthy. Every time I finish a session I feel so much better and like I've grown half an inch. I was referred by my husband because he helped with his herniated disc, and now I always recommend Dr. Matsumoto to friends and family. My mother in law comes too and he's helped a ton with her knee and back pain. We love coming to Dr. Matsumoto! read more

I woke up one day and not even able to stand up.. I needed to hold something to move around the house, using brace but this pain isn't going anywhere so decided to go to chiropractors. Found this place on yalp and WOW after the adjustment and stretches that he show me, then bam! I was able to walk back home without using brace and that was a miracle lol keep doing stretches at home then went there few times and I do not have pain anymore!!! Thank You!!! read more

This is one of the top Chiropractors I have been too. First off, each appointment is tailored to you and only you. There are no other patients in the office or room with you. Dr. Leo gets to the point, discusses options, benefits and works with the patient to help mitigate the injuries. The care does not stop there. Dr. Leo will tailor homework for you and your body that are specific to your aches, pains and injuries. I started off with back and shoulder pain going twice a week. Now, i am going Bi-Weekly. Thank you read more

I left feeling much better after my treatment. zDr. Leo gives personal attention to the patient's needs and is thoughtful in attending to my concerns. read more

Been looking at Leo for some time and I finally decided to contact him and get seen. My back has been bothering me for some time now and I expressed all my problems to Leo. I was seen immediately. I was giving a lot of knowledge I had no clue about and the care quality I received was amazing . My first appointment was just what I needed... this was my first time a chiropractor and I loved it .. I had my second adjustment today ... I noticed my back wasn't as sore I constantly cracked my back , knees and toes throughout the day but since I've gotten my adjustments I haven't had too... I'm stretching more without pain. My lower back isn't tight as much and I'm able to bend and move around better ... thank you Leo .. I can't wait to see what the future holds for my back lol read more

I had a hard time finding a chiropractor that was local and accepted my insurance. I am so glad I found New Era Chiropractic Matsumoto. After just a few appointments I began feeling better and my pain level minimized. I highly recommend Dr. Matsumoto, very friendly, and easy to talk to! read more

The office is very clean and relaxing. He's very knowledgeable. He works on more than just cracking your bones.

Dr. Matsumoto, aka, Dr. Leo, provided me with the fastest recovery time I have experienced with any other chiropractor! And I have seen quite a few. At my first visit he gave me strengthening exercises to do between visits. He listened to me and provided me with practical advice, e.g., do not cross your legs at the knees, but at the ankles is ok. And his adjustments were effective every time. My hip and shoulder pain are gone. I highly recommend that you make an appointment! read more

Dr. Leo is amazing. He listens to you and helps you listen to your body. I rolled my ankle and was in pain for over 2 months. MDs had me get x-ray, CT scan, and MRI only to find nothing. Dr. Leo asked about the location of my pain, worked in the muscles, then adjusted my ankle. He helped bring the pain down and I went back to walking normal. read more

Overall great chiropractor and great person! Very knowledgeable and very catering to your pain. Like a parent tending to you boo boo's, he tends to your bones and ligaments! Office experience is always amazing. Gives great recommendations on what needs to be done outside of therapy. Again, best experience, highly knowledgeable! My husband and I set appointments about every 2 weeks to see the Doc. Worth it if you care about yourself and your body! read more

Leo is a great Chiropractor. When I first went in I had a severe herniated disc that wouldn't even allow me to walk or stand up straight. I went to him every week for 10 months and improved over time. It was a slow and steady recovery but Leo did a great job getting me back to full recovery! read more

Great chiropractor and trustworthy. His office was clean. He took care of my paperwork in a flash. I was in and out in better shape, after 30 minutes. read more

I went to Leo with 8/10 lower back pain. It was so bad I couldn't sleep well and it completely stopped my sports and fitness regimen. During the first session he identified the problem being a tight psoas and performed a release technique. Its not the most comfortable therapy but it is effective. I walked out of there feeling 70-80% better. Since I have come back for more sessions and I am back to my workouts. Super grateful for his expertise and williness to educate me on how to maintain my physical wellness. Highly recommend Leo, especially if you are an athlete. read more

He ask you questions hear your concerns really paid ato your problem, then he check your body and then he proceed he's a real knowledgeable doctor, he's nice, don't expect a luxury office the treatment is what it matters, thank you Dr read more

Dr. Matsumoto is a professional who's not only knowledgeable about chiropractic works, but his knowledge extends to exercise as well. I had an unbearable pain in my shoulder and neck that flared up when driving. After my first visit he gave me some exercises to do at home. Those simple exercises nearly eliminated the pain. I've been seeing him for about six months now and will continue to me him to prevent future injuries. Now it is on me to keep up with the exercises. Communication with his office is simple and there's a great online interface if you prefer as well. I highly recommend Dr. Matsumoto for people who are active and I'm sure he can help those not so active as well. read more

Dr Leo is amazing! I came in struggling with lower back pain that was debilitating and I left my first visit able to walk and function! He also treated my neck as well which I didn't even realize was so off! Much improvement in just two visits! His office was nice and a very comfortable space. Looking forward to continuing care with Dr Leo! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Leo. I was having issues with my feet and lower back, and after five sessions, I feel so much better. Not only does he make adjustments to my body, but he also gives me exercises and stretches to work on between sessions. My 13-year-old son was having shoulder issues, and I have also started taking him for adjustments. Both of us feel much better!! Thank you, Dr. Leo. read more

So my issue is mainly with my misalignment of hips, one leg is slightly shorter than the other haahaha. I wasn't born like this and it just happened over time! Location: I got lost the first time, but there are two entrances. You can either enter through the front door on Spring st, go up the stairs, go all the way down and make a left into his office OR you can enter through temple through the back-way, go up those stairs and his office is the first door to your right. First visit went great! Dr. Leo takes the time to listen to your issues and assesses you thoroughly and gives you a treatment plan tailored to your needs. So far I have seen him about 3 times and my alignment and the pain I have associated with my issue has greatly improved! Thanks Dr. Leo!! read more

Dr. Matsumoto is very personable and helped me immensely with managing my lower back pain. I was around a 4-5/10 discomfort for about a month before going into his office and it has improved dramatically. read more

Where do I begin? I am very fortunate that Dr. Leo is outsourced by the VA for Community Care. From the minute my referral was authorized, Dr. Leo has been attentive to my chiropractic needs, complaints, concerns, and goals. He has been very easy to communicate with, and I have been able to schedule weekly without any issues. I appreciate the thoroughness in my initial assessment and in the care I've received thereafter. Dr, Leo has focused on all areas of concern and has tracked my progress along the way. Not once have I felt rushed, and I appreciate that he takes his time with each concern and body part. I've been going to the VA for a decade with little to no improvement in symptom/pain management. Dr. Leo's services have made a significant impact in my life. Not only does he provide manual work, but he's taught me an array of exercises and stretches to be proactive with my body functioning during my every day life. I've even recommended him to an out-of-towner who is just as, if not more, satisfied than I am (who woulda thought?!). I can keep going, but it all comes down to the fact that Dr. Leo is outstanding at what he does, and the first of his kind that I've encountered. If you're having life impairing immobility, pain, discomfort, etc. and have tried it all with no luck, LOOK NO FURTHER. You'll be just as impressed as I was! Forgot to mention that I appreciate his affordability for for out-of-pocket payments and that he also accepts private insurance. read more

It has been years since I have seen a chiropractor and I'm beyond thankful that I was able to come across Era Chiropractic with Dr. Leo. Dr.Leo is amazing and I appreciate his work. My first time meeting him, he was already observing my stance, and posture. Automatically was working right when I got through the door. That's dedication. He's very patient, and is very thorough through every session. I've adapted new skills for my stretching and currently correctly any bad posture. I recommend everyone to check Dr. Leo and his services! read more

I have gone to a number of chiropractors in the Long Beach area and was always disappointed with the results. They would typically do the same handful of adjustments like a one-size-fits-all and I always felt like they weren't looking for (or capable of finding) the root causes of my imbalances and helping me create long-term solutions. Not the case with Dr. Matsumoto. My initial appointment was long and thorough, and my body was already much more open and relaxed with one adjustment. I continued to get a Full Treatment sessions where he incorporated various therapies like cupping, scraping, and the mulligan strap, and was given exercises to do at home that targeted my biggest problem areas. Within a few sessions, I was virtually pain-free, had greatly increased mobility in my hips and shoulders, and had way more energy than I've had over the past few years. I finally believe that I'm going to continue getting stronger and not have to suffer from so much pain anymore. I highly recommend going to New Era Chiropractic if you deal with joint and muscle pains! read more

Leo has been super instrumental in helping me overcome a variety of issues: hip, back, and even pec/shoulder impingement. He employs a wide variety of techniques with his treatments and is able to cruise through a ton of them over the course of the appointment. As new problems present themselves, he's able to adjust his treatment to match whatever is flaring up at the time. He's also able to coach you through lifestyle changes, stretches and exercises you can do in between treatments to really get rid of the problem for good. read more

Over the years I've been to many different chiropractors, having to deal with lower back pain ... I can confidently say Dr. Leo is by far the best Chiropractor around ... he's more than just a chiropractor, he's very knowledgeable and has different methods of stretching, massaging and really does his best to bring relief to whatever pain you're feeling ... His sessions are also very affordable, in comparison to other Chiropractors who do a lot less .. Highly Recommend Dr Leo Matsumoto read more

Finally a chiropractor that actually takes the time to know your aches and pains and not just pops your bones and then is done with you. Leo is very knowledgeable and professional and inexpensive. I'm already setting up my in-laws and family members to visit him for an apt. Not only does he do adjustments but he also gives you the knowledge to strengthen your body to prevent future aches and pains. read more

Dr. Leo was amazing, I felt instant relief in my hip and lower back pain. He treated all my problem areas and listened to all my concerns. Highly recommend paying him a visit. read more

Wonderful experience for my mother and I. Dr. Matsumoto is not only extremely cool as a person, he also is methodic and thorough as a doctor.

Thanks Dr. Leo! read more

Does not try and sell you anything you don't need like other Chiropractors. He gets straight down to business and gave me an adjustment on my first appointment. He let me know what my deficiencies were and started working on them. I would highly recommend Dr. Matsumoto. read more

I came to Dr. Leo years after being afraid to see another chiropractor. My last experience was not the best with a different doctor. I broke my lower back (L3,4,5) when I was younger in gymnastics. The adjustments to my lower back were a little too aggressive for me. I told Dr. Leo of my concerns and he said he can help using other ways to fix me. Well he introduced the Myogrip and had me use a big rubber band for tension while doing a couple yoga moves. This process is called IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) using myogrip. By doing IASTM and activating the muscles with resistance and movement, it increases the blood flow to the area. With the increase of the blood flow/inflammation to the area, it'll help promote the repair and recovery by sending more nutrients to the injured area. Wow !! What a relief!! Needless to say I felt so much looser in my lower back and Dr. Leo finished up by adjusting the rest of my body. I love the knee release a lot. I tore my meniscus in both knees. When he adjusted my knees the first time I was able to do a full squat. I found my Chripractor in Dr. Leo ... I recommend him for everyone! I love that he is up on new techniques and exercises to educate his clients. read more

I've been having issues with knots in my neck and sciatic pain in lower back/ left side. Was literally walking like a caveman when I went to see Dr. Leo for the first time. He asked a series of particular questions and was quickly able to assess and find the root of my ailments. After adjustment and some light muscle work the stiffness in my neck and numbing pain in left leg was gone. Dr. Leo is deeply knowledgeable and sensitive to his clients needs. He performs customized treatments tailored specifically to your individual needs. I highly recommend him and will absolutely be a return client. Felt like a new man after and walked out upright and pain free. read more

Recommend Doc Leo for all your Chiropractic needs! I've got recurring neck and lower back issues and Doc Leo goes above and beyond every appointment (cupping, percussion, mobility exercises, etc.) and I feel like a million bucks after each adjustment. He's easy to schedule and work with, really listens to what's bothering you and demonstrates great stretching techniques for you at home. He helps and understands a lot of Veteran's service related issues. Thx Doc! TLDR; Check out New Era Chiropractic if you've got any musculoskeletal issues... Doc Leo is the best! read more

Dr. Leo Matsumoto was doing an excellent treatment; I went to his clinic for minor to moderate back pain. The first day I met him, he thoroughly explained the procedures.
