Craig Liebenson, DC – LA Sports & Spine

I have been seeing Dr. Liebenson in Santa Monica for a few months now. I was in a whiplash accident about 10 years ago and still had tingling when I sleep. Not fun cuz you don’t sleep so well. I have seen about 5 other therapists and we always tend to just go so far but not far enough to help. Dr. Liebenson has really helped me reach another level in my neck rehab.
He helps out by not just adjusting you but has a whole team of experienced chiropractors that combine core exercises, stretching, adjusting, heat and other modes of therapy. Whatever your issue, he can help.
I also was in a motorcycle accident a few weeks ago and he helped quite a bit with my dislocated shoulder.
I am really messed up because I also was getting back pain and pain in my glutes, but with the stretching and exercises they gave me, my pain is less and less. You have to do the exercises or the therapy just wont work.
The price is not bad at all considering the quality of help your getting. Only $ 110 a session.

I have been seeing Craig on-​and-​off for over three years from different injuries. As a competitive athlete who qualified for the Olympic Trials in 2008 in a power sport, I am at high risk for injury. Since I am looking to qualify for the trials in 2016, I need to stay at the top of my game! Every time I have suffered an injury in my sport, whether it be a trauma injury or overuse injury, Craig has helped me recovery quickly and in a very smart way. He looks at how your entire body moves and teaches you methods that you can take out of the office and into the real world. Craig explains everything — both scientifically and in layman’s terms so that you know what he is doing and why he is doing it.
Everything that Craig does has a purpose. He wants to teach you how to move your body better so that you feel better. Unlike other doctors who just treat the symptomatic pain, Craig digs deep and finds out the pathways that are causing pain. Furthermore, he teaches you how to treat yourself when you’re out of the office. He teaches the correct ways to move, gives corrective exercises, and does soft tissue work to support the physical therapy. Craig has never given me any take-​home exercise that I couldn’t do on my own.
Two of the things that I like most about Craig is that he is a fantastic teacher and he is conservative. Firstly, he gives you the tools to make your body better and teaches you how to take your health into your own hands. Secondly, he doesn’t rush into MRI’s, scans, or surgery. He is a conservative doctor and my body is all the better for it. I have never had to waste time and money in a machine. He is not a «quick fix» doctor who gives empty promises. I respect his candor and plethora of knowledge.
Craig is constantly giving seminars and teaching other doctors about functional movement, which means he is constantly learning and constantly teaching. Craig stays on top of the latest research from around the world.
As an athlete, I want to keep getting better at my sport, but also stay injury-​free. Craig Liebenson gives me the tools to have not only a successful athletic career, but a LONG athletic career.
