Nathan Shadle DC

First of all, I hate chiropractors. Well, to be fair, I’d never even been to one before I decided I hated them. But I’ve seen enough snapping crackling and popping on tv shows and movies to know that I hate chiropractors. And then one day, I couldn’t stand up straight without a rib armed with a machete stabbing me in the back of my lung. I had gone through a giant pothole on my motorcycle and the suspension wasn’t properly set up. Fast forward mega-​pain, crankiness, inability to sleep, and asking friends with no medical training what they thought it could be… Found Dr. Shadle on Unilocal and reluctantly made the appointment thinking this was the beginning of my life’s «maintenance phase» where it would likely become a weekly appointment for the rest of my existence. Nope. One and done. He’s totally casual but clearly knowledgable. I explained where it hurt and how it happened and he immediately likened it to equestrian horse jumper folks who often had the same issue. Yes there was some popping, but his mannerisms make you feel relaxed and in good hands. Literally. Then years later, I did something to my neck. Waited almost two miserable weeks hoping it would go away, and when it didn’t, I went back to Dr. Shadle who remembered me and he professionally provided another quick cure that immediately improved my range of motion and alleviated my pain. So take it from someone who hated chiropractors, if you need relief without hassle from a trustworthy source who also takes insurance (or isn’t too expensive if you don’t have it), this is one (two) of those times that I wished I had gone to him sooner.

I was afraid I’d have to shop around to find a new chiro when I moved here from the Bay Area, where I had a miracle worker. I got really lucky to find Dr. Shadle, who I picked randomly because his office was close. He’s excellent, and has unlocked places which my previous chiro couldn’t get. For my kind of problem, he does a bit of physical therapy before adjustments, which make the experience both comfortable and more thorough than a simple adjustment. He has a relaxed and compassionate attitude and this conveyed that he genuinely wanted to work with me to figure out and work through an ailment that I was really discouraged about.

It’s no surprise that Dr. Shadle has 5 Stars across the board; the man is a miracle worker. Additionally, he is a really great guy who clearly cares a great deal about his profession. If you’re looking for a chiropractor, look no further… you have found L.A.‘s finest, hands down.

Dr. Shadle is the BEST chiropractor in Los Angeles. He fixed a lower back issue I had, and has worked with me to relieve tension in my neck from my daily work in front of a computer. I can’t recommend him enough — I’ve been going to him for 6 years now and look forward to every visit.
Highly recommended — give him a try. And he’s a great guy!

I am so glad I discovered Dr. Nathan… I originally went in hoping to alleviate some headaches, but he also did such an amazing job loosening up my neck and shoulder (yes…computer work is the bane of my existence)… that I’ve been going back every few weeks. I always feel better after leaving! And I recently noticed I’m suddenly getting more range of motion in my left shoulder than I have in years! Highly recommend! He even takes my insurance!

Dr. Shadle rules. I want to start crying tears of joy for finally finding a DC who knows what the hell he is talking about and actually treats — specifically — the symptoms you are there to have treated. I’m a blabber-​mouth and can go on and on trying to describe my symptoms and most people would need an interpreter but Dr. Shadle knew exactly what I was trying to say. He then restated, succinctly, what I needed treatment for. He is a kind, attentive and knowledgeable professional and I trust him thoroughly. Highly recommend!

My back and neck were aching from spending too many hours on the computer when I found out about Nate Shadle. My back was so out of line, I was having trouble walking. My best friend told me I needed to get to Nahtan Shadle DC for an adjustment. He was right! Shadle is the man! He adjusted my back and with some rest over the weekend, I had 100% improvement. No joke – this guy is a bit of a miracle worker.
As for my neck, he adjusted that area and I think I need to redesign my office space to really get to 100% improvement, but I am now able to move better and without pain. If you are troubled by back pain, or other areas, I highly recommend Nathan Shadle. I should mention that he is very personable and caring, taking time to listen to his patient and try to understand what is going on. I find that a rarity in the health care profession.
If I have any more problems, I’ll be back to Nathan Shadle for an adjustment!

Good first visit. I’ll change the rating if further visits are different.
Honestly, I chose this spot based on his picture, because it does speak a lot about a person. He looks easy going and friendly, and that’s exactly the vibe he gives off in person.
Took a nice amount of time chatting to and listening to how my pain was affecting me. Didn’t overdo the adjustment like some chiropractors I’ve been to in the past. Discussed musculature to give me a sense of where the problem was stemming from and how to fix it.
I definitely recommend him!

Dr. Shadle is amazing. I get small tweaks in my neck a couple of times a year, which make it impossible to turn my neck or do anything. I am from a small town in Colorado, where there is one chiropractor that I am used to going to. Needless to say, I was hesitant to go to a chiropractor in Los Angeles. I felt like every review I read was a new place that was ready to scam me. However, after doing quite a bit of research, decided to go to Dr. Shadle due to his impeccable 5 star rating from everyone that has seen him. He deserves every last one of those stars.
I strongly recommend you stop your search here, and just pick up the phone and give him call. He is the most pleasant person, his office is incredibly peaceful, and he was quick & efficient. I left there feeling better than ever.

I’ve gone to Dr Nate for years and trust no one else when my back is out of whack. He isn’t one of those chiro’s who just crack to crack. He delves into the problem and gets to the root of it and prescribing a great treatment program for when you aren’t in the office.
I trust no one else with my chronic back problem. No one!
Parking can be tight so give yourself a little time before your appointment.

I wish I could give Dr. Shadle 100 stars. I heard about him from a colleague and started visiting his practice after a car accident. I already had issues with my spine and am so incredibly happy I found him!
His office is peaceful, clean and has plenty of convenient parking. Dr. Shadle is professional and knowledgeable. Since I started visiting him, my migraines have STOPPED. He takes the time to explain things and I can actually feel the difference from when I walk into the office and when I leave.
When my neck is out of alignment, he will push on a specific spot and it hurts… He adjusts me and then pushes on the same spot with no pain at all.
Dr. Shadle works on celebrities, professional athletes and dancers… so, for the everyday person, he is a rockstar!
I refer everyone I know to Dr. Shadle and will continue to do so. Someone I had sent his way approached me this week and said, «OH MY GOD. Your chiropractor has CHANGED MY LIFE.» It makes me so happy that I can send people to someone so incredible.
I know getting adjusted can be scary to a first timer, but you are in good hands with Dr. Shadle, I can assure you. If you’re on the fence about going to a chiropractor, don’t settle for anyone less.

Great! I was initially skeptical, as he was the first chiropractor I’d ever gone to, but I was in a lot of pain and desperate, so I made an appointment. So glad I did! He completely fixed my TMJ-​related pain within one quick visit. I went back for flare-​ups another few times and each time, left immediately feeling much better. I recently had to go back for a separate issue — very tight and knotted shoulders and neck muscles. He relieved a lot of the pain, and pin-​pointed exactly where it originated — a few ribs that got a bit out of place.
He’s a friendly, personable guy and happy to answer all the piddling questions that I have, being new to going to a chiropractor.
The previous review about the booking process is true — it’s a little awkward the first time you call because Dr. Shadle uses an appointment booking service that is not in-​office. You get used to it, and usually the ladies who answer are very quick and nice. They can pass on a message to the doctor if necessary and he can get back to you directly.
Finally, I just want to point out that this is a 100% unsolicited review. I wasn’t bribed for free or discounted care, or a chance at winning a prize, if I left this review, as many other practitioners in this and other fields will do. I just left this review because I’m grateful for his great work and truly recommend him!
