Velez Chiropractic

Best chiropractor I’ve been too. Dr Velez help me with shoulder pain and finger numbness. .he gave me really great exercises to do… and now I’m feeling better than ever. .thank you.

Dr. Velez was recommended by a good friend of mine, who also happens to be my yoga instructor. And I’m glad to say his recommendation couldn’t have come at a better time. Dr. Velez is an exceptional chiropractor, and very good at what he does. A consummate professional with a genuinely kind demeanor. And his help is evident, and thoroughly appreciated.

Backpain was remarkable improved after one session. And I had a problem with my big toe for almost a year and in another session it was pain free. It’s been a few weeks now and pain still is gone. Pretty amazing.

I started seeing Dr. Velez about 3 years ago now when I woke up one morning and couldn’t turn my head right or left without severe pain. This was a particular problem as I was training for a triathlon and had a pretty rigorous training schedule ahead.
A friend referred me to his office and I am so glad she did! Dr. Velez not only helped me with the immediate issue of my neck pain, but I ended up visiting him 2x a month while training as the bi-​weekly sessions really helped me stay injury free during my race season.
In the 3 years I’ve been going to Dr. Velez, he’s helped me through a number of various neck and back issues including my recovery after a car accident last year. This year I got pregnant and Dr. Velez has been amazing at helping me deal with all the aches and pains of pregnancy. I even bring my whole family to see him and get adjusted including my husband and step-​son.
Dr. Velez is both professional and extremely personable, and is great to work with for any issue. I personally appreciate that he not only does the «cracking» to get me back into alignment, but he notices the areas of muscle weakness or tightness that may contribute to my discomfort and misalignment and gives me stretches or exercises to do to help proactively address it.
Seriously, if you’re in need of a good chiropractor — pay him a visit!

I started seeing Dr. Velez after a car accident in March 2015 on the recommendation of a friend. So glad I did. Not only did he take care of the back and hip pain I was experiencing from the accident, he started in on addressing the knee pain I’d been experiencing for years. I’d been through multiple rounds of physical therapy and consultations that ended in talks of future knee surgery. Today, my knees feel better than they have since college and I don’t wince at the idea of taking the stairs! My only regret is that I’d wish I’d started going sooner.

I started seeing Dr Velez after my car accident. It was the best thing I could have done for myself. I had this lingering neck and shoulder pain and limited range of motion. He has a great practice, very honest and upfront with what you can expect. He’s also flexible on finding the right plan for you.
I’ve continued seeing Dr Velez, Dr Orozco and Dr Russo since my accident and I still continue to notice improvements in my overall health.

Dr. Velez and his staff at Velez Chiropractic are so wonderful, kind and knowledgable. I had never seen a chiropractor before because I never had any aches and pains. Age, sitting to much in front of a computer and my triathlon training season finally caught up to me. Dr. Velez and his staff have helped prevent me from being sidelined from hip pain that developed this year. The adjustments and stretches and exercises I’ve been shown as well as great advice to check my bike fit all have helped to allow me to continue to train for my ½ ironman race. I’m so thankful to have been recommended to see Velez Chiropractic!

After seeing Dr. Orozco for the past 4 months, it’s really shed light on how mediocre my past chiropractors were. Every appointment is very personalized, and he really finds all the spots that are tight and need work. Every appointment is a bit different, and he spends different amounts of time on certain places in my back, neck or hips depending on what I need. I really appreciate the integration of exercises and his ability to incorporate your lifestyle into his treatment – being if you sit at a desk all day, do yoga, hold stress in certain places etc. Chiropractic is significantly less impactful if you don’t join it with stretches and strengthening, and I feel like I’m a part of a team to keep my back healthy. After years of severe back pain that left me bed ridden for days, I’m learning the ins and outs of taking care of myself, proper posture, and targeted exercises to strengthen the muscles that otherwise facilitate my back pain.

I started going to Velez Chiropractic when I was having pain in my right arm/​bicep while I was swimming. My coach recommended me going to see Dr. Velez because he suspected it was a nerve issue rather than a pulled muscle. I was a little weary at first but was deserpate to get the pain to go away. So I saw Dr. Velez and he evaluated me and said I had nerve impingement syndrome. He adjusted me on the first visit and I was able to tell the difference right away. After a couple more adjustments I was able to swim without any pain! I go routinely for weekly adjustments and it has helped my training tremendously. I would highly recommend Dr. Velez and his team of excellent chiropractors. They know what they’re doing and the great thing about Dr. Velez is that he is an athele himself so he gets the importance of being able to train and he will fix you right up and do just that!

Dr. Valez has made all the difference for me. He is an amazing chiropractor and I couldn’t recommend him more!

Velez Chiropractic has done wonders for me. Coming from an athlete and injury accident perspective, I thought I would never recover from my injuries. None of the doctors I was seeing could find anything wrong or refer me to even treatment. Still after 7 months from my accident I was still having ailments from being hit by a car while riding my bike. My ribs were continuing to ache for weeks on end and even sitting down at my desk would cause achiness. It’s been about 8 weeks since I’ve been receiving treatment from Helmer Velez and Mike Russo (physical therapist, who’s also amazing) and already feel 90% back to my normal physical capabilities. I’m not going to lie, I have to do maintenance work on my end, but the outcome is totally worth it.
THANK YOU VELEZ CHIROPRACTIC!

Dr. Velez is the best! His office is friendly and inviting. His staff is professional and courteous. I have been to a few chiropractor’s here in the Valley but after my visit with Dr. Velez I will definitely continue on with his care and make the trip to Santa Monica. My back pain is almost half of what it once was in only two visits!

Dr. Velez is a great chiropractor, he is both warm and professional. At times he feels more like a friend than a medical professional. The office is nice, the location is pretty good. I’d recommend him, especially for somebody who doesn’t have experience in the past going to a chiropractor.

Dr. Velez is not only a chiropractor, but he is a healer. I was always a bit fearful when thinking of going to a chiropractor. Getting my back cracked… what?! It’s a bit terrifying. After a spinal cord surgery in the winter of 2010, there was no way that I would let anyone touch my back.
Since the surgery, I have experience a tight lower back, raging migraines, and the beginnings of what felt like sciatica on my right side. Close friends of mine swore up and down that Dr. Velez, was magical, so I decided to take the leap and make my first appointment.
I am so thrilled to say that I have been seeing him once a week for over a month now, and I have not had a headache since my first visit. Muscles in my neck and lower back have begun to relax, and I have experience increased flexibility throughout. He treats you with maximum care, he’s and amazing listener, and you leave feeling optimistic and relieved. I am a believer and I would hightly recommend Dr. Velez to both adults and children. He is a wonderful human.

Dr. Velez made me change my mind about chiropractics all together. He not only offer adjustments, but educates you in your injury on body mechanics and what he plan is to help you become pain free. You’ll have to do some work at home though, physical therapy is a part of it, and might be the most important part of the healing process. This is the doctor right here, speaking from personal experience I see this man weekly, and my back injury has been healing immensely thanks to him.

Helmer is amazing with working with people trying chiropractics for the first time. I had never thought I «NEEDED» to get adjusted. And after Helmer worked his magic, my sinuses freed up, tension subsided, my back felt 100% better. And there are 80 different ways I could personally throw my back out as a dancer of all types of dancer. He also remembers which bones tend to pop out of whack regularly and takes care of those first. I’ve been being treated by Helmer for 4 – 5 years and highly recommend his services. :) Also, very articulate and great bedside manner… did I mention he also goes down to Bolivia with a group of fellow chiropractors to adjust, men, women and children in need. I really could go on, but I was trying not to write a novel like everyone else. A+

Dr. Velez is by far one of the best choices i’ve ever made. He is truly a miracle worker. For a long period now I had suffered from severe back and hip pain. I recently decided to see Dr. Velez for help because these issues where affecting me in my training. His vast knowledge and experience allowed him to pin-​point my imbalances. Through adjustments and therapies he has been able to make me feel like new. I am now pulling twice the weight in my Squat and Deadlift without any difficulties. He is an amazing human being; easy going, polite, professional, and funny. Dr. Velez has a vast amount of knowledge and experience. He’s the Chiropractor you need to see!!!

Dr. Velez is one of the most knowledgable chiropractors I have visited. His expertise must come from his dual training as both a DC and MD, avoiding the common conflict between these two fields of study.
I originally met Dr. Velez and his wife through the UCLA Triathlon Team. Having a common athletic background, he was able to provide more appropriate treatment for me. I also believe he extends the detail and care to each and every one of his patients.
I recommend his chiropractic services to any couch potato or athlete alike.

Wow, I met Dr. Velez at a Brentwood fair few years back. Such a wonderful person from the beginning, polite, attentive, and informative. He gave me his business card and a week later I was at his office, and became his patient. Had an amazing experience, that I started seeing him at least twice a month. My headaches got better as well as my back. If you need to see a chiropractor he’s the one to go see. He will work with you, and will give tips on how to better your health.

I would highly recommend Dr. Velez to anyone experiencing pain from sports related injuries or «lifestyle» (i.e., sitting at a computer all day) injuries.
I have been to a chiropractor in the past but I feel like Dr. Velez gave me a much more comprehensive insight and treatment plan for upper back issues that have plagued me off and on my whole life. And also, because he’s a triathlete, he understands the needs and impact an intensive training program can have on the body. (I recently raced my first Ironman race!)
I had upper back pain stemming from misalignment throughout my spine and this was exacerbated by being on a road bike for countless hours, as well as running and swimming (oh triathlons, good for the heart (literally) and soul, not so good for other aspects of the body). In addition to getting me out of a pain cycle within the first few sessions, he took the time to explain what was going on and gave me different exercises that I could do on my own time to help alleviate any pain and to improve muscular imbalances which would cause problems in other parts of my body. Because everything in the body is connected, he works on addressing individual issues and how they affect the whole body.
Aside from his knowledge and great attention to individual patient needs, he is also a genuinely nice and very patient person that is sincerely interested in the well-​being of his patients. I would highly recommend him, and I already have!
