Khalsa Chiropractic Center

First time writing a review of anything. So I had to go to the trouble to sign up for Unilocal to be able to review Dr. Khalsa.
Today i woke up with a terrible neck pain. I could barely move my head.
Well, I made the appointment and went over. He adjusted me and the difference is amazing. I am back at home. My muscles around the neck are a bit sore but I can move my head no problem and the intense pain is gone. It’s now a matter putting on some ice and heat.
I have gone to him over the years for back or neck pain. I live in Santa Monica, but I won’t go to anyone else. It’s so worth the drive for me.

I have been a patient for about one year.
I had been going to another chiropractor, highly experienced, for over 15 years — and she had closed her practice. That was a great loss for me.
After trying others a little bit here and there, I saw Dr. Khalsa. He is of the highest quality, kind and capable. He is able to use active manipulation adjustments or non-​force, both of which are effective. I keep tuned-​up and my health is much better with regular chiropractic visits — I go at least 2x a month. it is easier to keep up than to have an issue appear and catch up.
I highly recommend him.
Plus, the office staff is warm, and the building (craftsman fully restored) is a lovely space to visit.

Dr. Khalsa has a lot of skill in adjusting the bones and muscles of the body. And is a very good chiropractor. He uses muscle testing to determine what to do on each visit, which I like. Sometimes he adjusts the spine and sometimes he treats muscles. I found his work very good but I did not continue going to him because his sales pitch to buy products and his continual urging that I see him every week made me feel I was just a walking dollar sign. He was much too pushy with his agenda.

I have never been to a chiropractor before and was very nervous. I was instantly at ease and felt so safe with Dr Khalsa. He has a wonderful staff too! Highly recommend!

Hey All,
I’ve been a client for 8 or so years and get adjusted weekly and I’m going to say what i think is the major-​number-​one-​thing most people need to hear when deciding on a chiropractor:
I feel absolutely confident in Dr. Khalsa’s abilities and VERY at ease in Dr. Khalsa’s hands.
Also:
He is able to do «non cracking» treatments.
His experience comes through in his touch and is very noticeable.
He is extremely knowledgeable and able to make you understand what is happening in your body and teach you how to correct it.
And he is equally a physical healer and energy healer.
i hope this was helpful! :)

Dr. Santokh is a great healer. My wife, daughter and I have been treated by him for many years and we’ve referred him to many friends, colleagues and family members. His office staff is also very friendly and they make you feel comfortable and welcomed.

Since I rarely see my Western medical doctor except for an annual check-​up, I consider Dr. Khalsa my primary healthcare provider. My approach to health is proactive, so I choose to have an active lifestyle, planet-​based diet, daily meditation practice and regular chiropractic adjustments in order to stay healthy. I“m happy to say that this approach has kept me healthy, sane, and off expensive medications, and Dr. Khalsa’s care has been an integral part of my overall wellness. He has a very effective technique for addressing both the skeletal alignment issues that create physical pain, as well as the underlying energetic and emotional issues that can crop up. I have been treated by other chiropractors — some great, some so-​so. Dr. Khalsa is hands-​down my first choice for a chiropractor because he provides a very customized treatment during each visit based on where you are at that moment. In other words, he doesn’t just give you the same treatment every time no matter what you tell him, unlike other chiropractors. I also appreciate his very helpful and responsive staff, who are always quick to call me back and do their best to fit me into the schedule when I don’t have an appointment.

There are a few chiropractors named Santokh Singh Khalsa. They are converted white Jews. This review is for Dr Khalsa in Pasadena.
Dr Khalsa was a soft spokn gentleman whom I met when I had sever back pain and could not even get off my bed. 15 years later, I find out that I have had a recurring case of pulled rib muscle. He did not diagnose the issue and just gave me some adjustment that made me a lot worse. It basically reversed the healing effect of resting at home for a week prior to going to Dr Khalsa. I could not sleep for 3 nights and finally felt like I needed to tell thi9s guy what h had done. I left him a message and he got back to me with a message to come and see him. I went back and he said probably something had gone wrong in my back (he had ripped it again after a week of healing) and proceeded to give me another adjustment. This adjustment did not make me worse and but I am not sure if it helped either. Maybe it did. But what was amazing is that he sent me to hi receptionist to pay for that visit.
I told him that he was undoing hat he had done before ad he cleverly pulled the guilt trip technique on me. He turned to me with a sot somber voice and said that he would leave it all to me that if I wanted to leave without paying anything for the services he had provided he would accept that. So I paid. You learn with age not to fall for BS, not be shy and how to spot and deal with any «professional.»
Today, when I go to a real doctor, a vet or any type «professional,» and they recommend a bunch of bizarre things I have no problem asking for their prices and letting them know this way that I am not an idiot. Nowadays, you have chiro’s pushing to o Xrays or referring you for MRI’s. It is hilarious since most real doctors don’t know how to read an actual MRI.
