Great Dr. and Wonderiful fun employees. Love going there out of all the chiropractors I've gone to. I'm completely satisfied with pain relief center. read more

Dr Ron is the best! I've been going for years and I always feel great afterwards. Thanks Dr Ron!!!

Don't go here - don't do this to yourself. I don't know where to begin. I should have run the moment they told me that I needed to pay them $100 for my first visit when my insurance confirmed that I should only be paying $40. But I am in pain even as I type this and I was so hoping to give chiro another shot (I do NOT love the idea of it but when something skeletal is out of alignment it makes sense). The moment I walked in and saw that no one was wearing masks, I felt like leaving but - the pain - so I filled out the four pages of paperwork that had so many 'releases' for me to initial, I have never seen so many, including one that told me that there will be costs that my insurance may not cover - which listed ADJUSTMENTS as one of those things. I should have left the moment I read that but I did not - and as I was filling the paperwork out, two men checked out. One made an appointment for his next Vitamin C IV (red flag - intravenous Vitamin C for what purpose?) and another came out to pay for a long list of services, at which point the receptionist said something like 'wow you're just giving us all your money!' Not a great thing to hear. They finally took me back into a room where I sat for 15 minutes and felt increasingly uncomfortable being there. Finally, I listened to my gut and left the room. When I told a woman I found in the hallway that I wanted to leave and that I wanted my paperwork back, she looked stunned and couldn't even complete a sentence. I went back to reception to ask for my paperwork back and heard the receptionist snarkily asking the stunned woman from the hall why I was leaving. I calmly said it didn't matter why, I just wanted my paperwork back. The receptionist made a few other choice comments with the nastiest tone of voice you can imagine as she photocopied my paperwork to keep it even though I stated I wanted it back. I am ready for them to try to charge me and ready to push back against that. This place felt wrong all around. read more

He's the best! I have many back problems and he keeps me erect when I walk. Hands of an angel.

On reference from my lawyer, I came to the Pain Relief Center for several months of treatment following a motorcycle accident. The case closed about 18-months ago, and I hadn't visited a chiropractor since. During my initial treatment, I was never blown away by the care being offered; however, they seemed nice enough and were working pro-bono. That being said, when in pain this past Saturday, I decided to give the Pain Relief Center another shot and utilize my insurance. Prior to heading to the Pain Relief Center, I verified my own insurance and confirmed that I had $0 deductible and a $35 copay. When I called to make an appt., I was told that since it was the weekend, they would not be able to verify my insurance. I was then told that I would need to pay a $75 fee upfront, and, upon my insurance being verified on Monday, I could be refunded or credited the $40 I was overcharged. Sounded simple enough. I went ahead and paid the $75 for treatment. Fast forward to today, and I just got off the phone w/ the front office staff who have successfully validated my insurance .... BUT, they can only offer me a $40 credit and that a refund is not an option! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? I am then told that they never give refunds and was essentially called a liar for saying that I was told I could receive a refund. Long story short, this place is shady. The front office staff is purposefully deceitful and full of lies. I have found a new chiropractor and will not be returning. I will also be disputing the charge. AWFUL EXPERIENCE! read more

I am more of a traditional medicine guy than a holistic guy. As I get older and have been disappointed by traditional western medicine so often, I have learned to try some new things. I have found a couple of things over the years that surprised me that work. One of them is the Pulse Machine I found at the Pain Relief Center of Studio City run by Dr. Ronald Marinaro. The Pulse machine is a pulsed electromagnetic field. Without dwelling on the science of it, it appears that there is a real and measurable difference in the electric impedance of a cell that is very healthy, or not. So, inflamed tissue, broken or fractured bones etc. not only have a real and measurable physiological finding, there is a profound and measurable change in electrical impedance and functioning at the molecular level in the cells themselves. When Dr. Marinaro explained about the machine I was rather skeptical, but at least open to try it. He set me up, got me comfortable and spun that large unit up. My particular trouble area was my right hip in which I was having a powerful bursitis flare up. He put me on a very comfortable table with a pad system below me and a specific zone unit directly on top of my very sore hip. He adjusted the machine based on my feedback of pain level and dialed it in. I did two separate treatments for approximately 45 minutes, one a week, and I have now scheduled a third. Of course, he did tell me that multiple treatments a week for several weeks is what I should be doing, but being shut down has made things harder. From a severe limp and being able to walk only a short distance, I am now walking my two dogs roughly two miles a day. My limp has (mostly) vanished and I am off of pain killers. Given that I had been in increasing pain for four months prior to this with no relief, not bad at all. In fact, fairly amazing. I cannot tell exactly why it worked so well, all I can comment is that it did work that well on me. I did ask Dr. Marinaro about other people's results and he told me that a majority of people who try it get some very significant results. Not everyone and not everything responds. I would think that if you have some chronic pain that you would absolutely want to try this; beyond that I have found Dr. Marinaro to not only be knowledgeable, but he has amazingly good hands on adjustments. This is a place I will be going back to regularly. Thank you for the great result. read more

I've been coming to see Dr. Ron for over 10 years. He has treated me for many pinched nerves and sore neck/back issues. Even though we've moved out of the valley, we still make it a point to come to the Pain Relief Center for his amazing care. Thank you, Dr. Ron and everyone who works at the Pain Relief Center! read more

Dr. Ron embodies all the qualities of an amazing doctor. His professionalism/bedside manner, knowledge, and skill are second to none. My chronic neck and back pain have never been more managed, and whenever I need to come in on short notice, Dr. Ron's staff does their absolute best to get me seen pronto. I highly recommend visiting to the Pain Relief Center for all back and neck pain concerns. Dr. Ron's PEMF (pulse electromagnetic frequency machine) is top of the line and has tremendously helped manage my pain without any prescription medication and recovery time. Friendly staff is a bonus too. read more

Hi All Been going to Dr Ron for a few months now...Lets keep it short...HE IS AMAZING..HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT TO DO.....George Marshall,,Vivian's Cafe read more

I love Dr.Ron and the rest of the staff. Very clean, on time and just a great place for me to have my physical therapy. After not being able to find a doctor for 1.5 years for my injury he was the only one who was able to help me and I'm almost at 100 percent and will be back to my normal activities soon. You will love him and the rest of the staff read more

I trust Dr. Ron Marinaro and his Pain Relief Center completely with every physical issue I've encountered over the past 20 years. Their professional attitude and thorough approach to my needs have always delivered a positive result. Nothing can beat a successful outcome when you're not feeling 100%. Combining the latest proven technologies with their fun and caring environment has kept me, my family, and many many others coming back repeatedly. Thanks Dr. Ron! read more

Dr. Ron is the best!! Staff is friendly and they always fit you in!! You can also get Massages! So win win!! read more

Dr. Ron is the best! Not only is he an amazing doctor, he's a great guy. he spends as much time as you need - cracking, treating, going over workout plans, random vampire novels...whatever. He will suggest other care (core exercises in my case), recommend massages (they do them there, and they are awesome!), do XRays if needed and even try some other random treatment that might work if you're game. He even stretched my aching hammies. A few months ago I "had a fall" - I'm not 80 years old, but I tripped and really flew across the pavement at the finish line of a 5k race. I was a freakin mess. Road rash, shoulder injury, neck out of alignment...disaster. I couldn't even lie on my stomach so he could work on my back (because of the road rash on my knees) so he treated me while laying on my back. He finds a way - He fixes what ails ya! I have also tried accupuncture at this location. While it was professional and not scarry at all - I dont know if it did anything for me...but, it's worth checking out especially if your insurance covers it! I've been seeing Chiropractors since I was a teenager and never in my life have I felt so well cared for as I have by the Pain Relief Center, and Dr. Ron. They are Superheroes. read more

I swear by Dr. Ron. He has saved me on more than one occasion. I've been going to him for a little over 3 years at least once every month, sometimes twice or even three times if my spine needs it. I've dealt with back pain and neck pain for as long as I can remember, and it got worse when I tore my ACL nine years ago. Dr. Ron has helped me tremendously. I'm originally from Portland so finding a chiropractor seemed daunting at first, but an old coworker/friend recommended me to him and I haven't looked back since! I will walk in with a headache and out without one. He works magic! Highly recommend meeting with him. Also the massages are amazing. Alex is my favorite and she works wonders. Everyone at the office is friendly and makes you feel very comfortable. To be honest it's kind of like a second home! I always feel better walking out of there. read more

I agree with the person below me, Dr. Ron is an AWESOME person and doctor. He really gets to know his patients, and I'm always astounded that after he's seen so many patients in his practice, he still manages to remember all the details about our previous conversations and asks how the family is, schooling, etc. Every time I leave after an appointment, my body not only feels better, but I leave happier knowing that someone genuinely cares about my well-being. The Pain Relief Center provides everything that one needs to... well, relieve their pain (hence, the name). Aside from chiropractic care, they offer massage, accupuncture, and all the up-to-date chiropractic instruments, digital x-ray, and chiropractic techniques. Both Dr. Ron and Dr. Allegro both specialize in scoliosis patients. In addition, Dr. Allegro specializes in applied kinesiology -a technique which utilizes special muscle tests to find the cause of pain and weakness. So many of my relatives, family, and friends see Dr. Ron (I'm not even exaggerating, my family has probably referred close to 20 people to him), all ranging from scoliosis, stroke rehab, work injuries, sport injuries, back injuries, limb tingling/numbness, and other cases. I've even met a patient and her family that traveled all the way from Texas to see him. Yeah, he's THAT good. read more

Pain Relief Center Studio City - Dr. Ron! - Chiropractors Near Me - Studio City, California

Dr. Ron is awesome! I've been a patient at pain relief center for about 3 or 4 years. He has the strongest hands EVER! I wish he was a massage therapist but I'm not sure if I could handle it. His hands are crazy strong. Dr. Ron is also hilarious and really down to earth and is quite the foodie so ask him what's the new happening spot to try. The staff is really good about squeezing me in for an appointment. Sometimes the wait can be a bit long but nothing ridiculous. I highly recommend. read more

Dr. Ron is amazing. Was referred here by a friend, first time to a chiropractor. Walked in and the front counter staff was pretty nice, had me fill out paper work and then I was seated until he was ready. Walked in to the room when it was finally time and he had asked me a few times and asking about any pain I was having and where. So when he got to work he knew what to do. He gave me a full alignment and adjustment! Never felt this good before! Can't wait to go back and get another definitely helped me sleep and made working easier since I'm on my feet for a majority of the day! read more

Dr. Ron is excellent! I was so nervous about seeing a chiropractor, but he came highly recommended to me by a friend. So I gave it a shot. This was about 8 months ago, and I've been seeing him regularly ever since then. After my second visit, I noticed an immediate improvement in my alignment. I really trust Dr. Ron and he's so nice too. Recommend!! read more

I was recently referred to Dr. Ron by a mutual friend. Originally from Orange County, I've been searching for a Local chiropractor that I can trust to treat me. I suffer from chronic back pain from a disc bulge in my lower back . Everyone in the office is so nice & Dr. Ron is AMAZING! My last experience with another local chiropractor was HORRIBLE. They did more harm than good, added a totally new issue with my tailbone causing me horrible additional pain. I've been hurting & without treatment for over 8 months because. I was terrified to take a 'chance' with another doctor! I am so happy that I finally found a great chiropractor in Studio City! read more

what's happened to this office Dr. Ron? if you find you've got a patient drain, i'd say the discourtesy of particularly one of your main reception people is a contributing factor. Oi, talk about attitude and snappiness in response to what?, checking in, giving your name and trying to schedule your next appt. i felt like I was being scolded for taking up space. a bad day is one thing, but this is consistent. where has all the common courtesy gone? and the waiting room time is troublesome. not sure if the staff is double booking appt times, or they're not staggered enough, but I watched two people bail out in front of me b/c they couldn't wait any longer for their scheduled appt. also, it's feeling a bit like you're pushing snake oil with the newly pushed iv vitamin c . i miss the days of consistent chiropractic care. you were a standard I appreciated, now I'm certain I won't be returning. here's hoping you reconcile a few things and get back to the greatness you once were. read more

Loved my first adjustment here! Easy check in and the chiro was wonderful. Can't wait to come back.

Dr. Ron has been successfully treating my lower back for over ten years. He is the only chiropractor I have ever seen! Anyone who gives this place less than FIVE stars needs more than their back adjusted! Lol. They clearly don't understand just how great Dr. Ron is. read more

Its a decent chiropractic office, nothing out of the ordinary, nothing shady. -1 because most chiropractors mix in massage or TENS unit or acupuncture with adjustments, there was none of that. -1 I was rushed, they charged my insurance 300 for a visit(standard i guess) but the chiropractor only spent 15 minutes with me! Not to mention he did not find the root cause of my problem. read more

Just had an adjustment and I had to write a review about Dr. Ron. He really is AMAZING! I have seen a lot of chiropractors and he really is one of the BEST. He is very low key, so nice and knowledgeable. It is easy to make an appointment which I love since I always seem to need him :). His staff is super friendly, always a good experience. I went in with a back ache, he said I was out of alignment and tonight I feel fine!! What more can I say?? Really GOOD!! read more

I have been going to Dr. Ron for 4 years and he is the best! I have dealt with migraines and neck pain since I was a child, but regular adjustments from Dr. Ron have made a huge difference. He is perceptive and highly skilled, using both manual adjustments and the activator method as needed. He is also very personable-- I look forward to my appointments! The billing department is always extremely helpful, whether I am using my regular medical coverage or going through my car insurance after a car accident. Dr. Ron has my highest recommendation!!! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Ron's at Pain Relief Center for nearly 24 years and have had nothing but the best treatment and experience at his office. His staff is efficient and always accommodating, even if you are trying to get in at the last minute. Barbara and Rose are always professional and warm when on the phone. I can honestly say in 24 years I have never been turned away once, even when calling in at the last minute. Not once! They get you in. I have scoliosis and started chiropractic treatment at the age of 11. I wish I would of found Dr. Ron sooner. If either of my kids needed his expertise I wouldn't hesitate to bring them to him. He listens and addresses every issue with great skill and patience. He takes great pride in making sure he rids you of your discomfort and pain. If you are in need of a chiropractor give him a try. I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

I'd give 10 stars to this place if I could. Dr Ron Marino is a great chiropractor who really cares about his patients. I was referred to him by another satisfied customer 4 years ago after an auto accident I had. Dr Ron was attentive to my needs, zeroed in on my area of pain and started a program for me involving stretches at home, medication and adjustments while at his office. Even after I felt better, Dr Ron reached out to see how I was doing. Fast forward to 2 months ago when I was diagnosed with a bulging disc that was causing a nerve to press against my ligaments. Several MRI's, CT scans and physical therapy only made my pain worse with no real course of treatment being recommended that made sense to me. I feared I'd need surgery so I thought I'd try Dr Ron again, instead. It took several visits and Dr Ron really focused on helping me get through the day pain free with his adjustments. He, also, recommended I try turmeric which I did and I'm FINE now! I would've needed surgery if I kept getting going to my ortho doctor at Martin Luther King Jr Hospital because that was the next course of treatment they were about to recommend. Now, I take turmeric regularly and see Dr Ron once a week for my adjustments. I owe my lack of pain, greater mobility and non-sleepless nights to him. I would gladly recommend him to anyone who needs pain management and/or doesn't want to go the conventional route of surgery if it can be avoided. read more

I have been coming to Pain Relief center for a while. Dr. Ron is amaaaazing! He helped me with my back and neck pain. I highly recommend him for your chiropractic treatments, read more

Don't ever go there! The rudest and most impolite staff ever! They didn't bother to check and see if my insurance covered the visit so they just extorted the cost from my credit card. When my insurance company and I tried to recover the $125 fee I was met with resistance and lies! If I could give them less than one star I would. Never in my life have I ever been treated so horribly as a patient or as a person! read more

Dr Ron is the best there is. Almost no wait and I feel 200% better when I leave.

I have been visiting Dr. Marinaro (aka Dr. Ron) for a few years now for treatment and he is the only chiropractor I trust! Even though he is a little out of the way for me it's worth the extra drivetime. read more

Dr. Ron is amazing! I went in with the worst lower back pain after my workout injury and he snapped me back into place! Iv been here twice already and im already looking forward to my 3rd visit. I truly feel like a new person. read more

I've only seen him once so far, but I loved Dr. Ron! He's an Italian from the Bronx so he has a warm and fun personality - and, more importantly, he SAVED me! I was in so much pain and felt misaligned - they got me in same day and he really helped me. The facility is spacious, clean and tastefully decorated, plus, they have ample free parking, which in LA is a super double bonus! I will continue to come here, for sure. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Ron at the PRC for over 20 years. The truth is, with all of the things he has taught me, I really don't have to see him too often anymore. When I had a back injury a few years ago he pretty much saved my life. With his treatment and care, I avoided surgery and got well. I highly recommend Dr. Ron and the Pain Relief Center read more

I can only recommend Dr. Doug (yes that is what he likes to be called) but he is great! His easy going and casual attitude makes getting wrenched into unfamiliar positions not so terrifying. The office itself wont win any beauty awards but they have you in and out so quickly, it doesnt matter. I rarely have to wait even if I am late or early for my appointment. My boyfriend says that Helle gives the best massages....hey wait a minute!!!!! read more

Love love love this place! Dr. Ron is truly a healer! He has even helped me with an injury that was 15 years old!

Okay I only had two adjustments by Dr. Ron (Marinaro) for my back but it's already working. The doctor and office exude good vibes. I had a chiro for many years who was a tough act to follow but so far Dr. Ron's filling his shoes well. I go back for 3rd adjustment Friday and if it continues to progress as well I should be greatly improved. Very optimistic. read more

I was referred by a friend who stopped going because of overcharges but he told me Dr. Cole was a good adjuster. I get it that you need an examination for the initial visit but a rushed "touch my toes" and "where does it hurt" is not an exam...anyway I was put on a traction table for like 15 minutes while he was in another room and then he came in and adjusted me. The entire visit was less than 30 minutes and afterwards my back was so much is spasm I could barely walk. I was charged over $400 of which my insurance covered $265 and I was billed the difference of $140. Next time I will listen to the reasons my friends stop seeing a practitioner. read more
