Victor St John, DC

A friendly, caring doctor with a gentle and very customized approach to care. The only missing star was because I thought i was going to feel the much better that I usually feel after the chiropractor. I’m better, but not hugely, just some.
But as a regular practice member of various chiropractic doctors all over, I can say that the. doc is very body centered in his treatments. Caring, gentle, wanting progress for his patients. And if this is your first time at a chiropractor’s office, Dr. St. John is a great guy to start with.

Add one more very well earned 5 Star review to the list for Dr. St. John and Dr. Reeb. I am a 50 something techie road warrior and luckily found this office while going West to East coast weekly thanks to Unilocal.I could barely dress or walk on my first visit … and feared that Dr. St. John would be yet another of those «lay here while I crack every bone in your body» types … I could not have been MORE WRONG. While yes — he does occasionally do that type of adjustment on me … he uses more of a pressure release type of adjustment … similar to an amazing chiropractic massage. He and Dr. Reeb are also expert Graston practitioners (not sure if their web site states it or not). I had not heard of Graston techniques prior to going to visit them … but am a full fledged believer now — and have friends that have actually asked if I knew of anyone in the LA area that was a Graston practitioner. Low and behold … my Chiropractors. They are simply «lifesavers» (back savers). Gentle, effective and amazingly on the forefront of chiropractic techniques. I have seen MANY chiropractors around the LA area … NONE have even come close to Dr. St. John and Dr. Reeb. If you are looking for a chiropractor — do yourself a favor and check these doctors out — and please add a review to let me know how it went!

Awesome service and care. Same day appointments available. Parking in the street. Dr. Victor cares.

I’ve been in to see Dr. St. John and his wife Tracy a few times. They are amazing! Unfortunately I spend a lot of time in at a computer with poor posture. The deep tissue work that they do is the only thing that I respond to. They are extremely warm, attentive and knowledgeable of the human musculature. They are the only ones I go to now.

Dr Victor is one of those rare chiropractors that not only understands all those niggling pains and how to get rid of them, but actively teaches you how to stop them from reoccurring. He also uses a variety of methods to get your body moving again. I will usually have a combination of ART (active release therapy), spinal adjustment and the dreaded Graston technique. If you have never had Graston tools used on you, let me try to describe it– imagine the blunt end of a butter knife being pushed into your muscles and moved along all those knotty bumpy bits. Yes it hurts, but it breaks up all the bad stuff and lets you start to heal. It’s awesome.
I also love the fact that Dr Victor will always send you home with specific exercises and stretches to do to help you recover. He’s very honest in that if you do the work at home, you will have to come in less often to see him. Finally a chiropractor that isn’t trying to scare you about subluxations and get you on a payment plan for bi weekly appointments!

Dr. Victor continues to heal me with new injuries that come up from being an active person and fitness instructor. I always know that 1 – 2 visits in, he can help my body heal from what could be a chronic condition, but we get it right away and then I don’t experience it again. From minor tune-​ups, to a major rib injury from an accident, to a chronic shoulder issue that I had surgery scheduled for (and then canceled after working on it 1−2x a week for a couple months), he has been miraculous for my body. I now no longer have that shoulder injury and am back to working out myself even stronger than before. Thanks Dr. Victor!

I’ve struggled with finding a chiropractor that I can really trust for quite some time. I live in Studio City, so I thought I’d give Unilocal a try in helping me narrow down the list of chiropractors on my search. I came across a few, but none that had such positive reviews as Dr. Victor and Dr. Tracey. I had to give them a try.
The couple are incredibly knowledgeable. Every time I have a new issue, they explain it to me with showing me detailed pictures of exactly what’s going on. I’m a visual person, so this really helps me.
The treatments that they do are effective. At my old chiropractor, I used to have to go to the chiropractor twice or three times a week. I was told I needed to be there that often. Here, they believe in treating you so you don’t have to come in so often, rather than making you come in and waste your money on some kind of «chiropractic wellness plan.» — I have never been sold packages here and taken advantage of.
Their office is also super clean. I’m kind of OCD, so this is really a big deal to me. Not only are the office and rooms clean, but I’m always offered a beverage when I come in. The hospitality here is certainly not overlooked.
Long story short, if you are looking for the best all around chiropractic care, I would without a doubt refer you to Dr. Victor and Dr. Tracey. They rock!

After more than a year after arthroscopic knee surgery, and extreme atrophy post-​op, things still had not returned to normal. After 3 or 4 visits to Dr. St John, I have learned so much about my legs and body in general, that I am finally on the right track to recovery, and plan on seeing him continually until things are back to normal!

Victor is incredible. Both he and his awesome wife Tracy run a clean, spacious office in Studio City. If you have any type of neck, back, or hip pain, they can help. I was plagued with what I thought was a typical pinched nerve as well as numbness in my leg. Before coming here I’d been to two other places and neither could remedy the problem.
Enter Victor. I told him what my pains were and where they were located. He had me do a couple different stretches as well as some feeling around and then gave me a diagnosis. He spent a good 15 minutes explaining (with the use of a spine model) exactly what was going on with me and what he was going to do to put me back on track.
Apparently I had a herniated disc that was pinching a nerve and causing me so much grief. I really can’t stress enough how much pain & discomfort I was in day in and day out and how I’d even lost a good portion of mobility.
Victor spent 30 min giving me adjustments, heat, electro and a sports massage. He also told me that as much as he hoped this would help, chances were that I’d need at least a couple more visits to make a full recovery.
But even after just my first visit I felt 10 million times better then I had up until I’d met Victor. I think I did two more visits and by the the third I was as good as new.
What I think sets Victor and Tracy apart from everyone else in their field is that they genuinely care about the rehabilitation of each of their patients. Sure, they could just do a quick adjustment and then keep you coming back week after week to bring in some serious cash. But to them it’s about healing and educating so you don’t end up in the position you came in. Victor went over a myriad of exercises and stretches he insisted I do every day as to help alleviate pain and get me back to where I was before I sought his help. His consultation before he started was just as invaluable because I myself feel better when I know exactly whats wrong with me instead of trying to guess on a topic I know nothing about.
I still see Victor about every 3 months for regular adjustments because my profession is hard on my body. It’s always great talking with him and Tracy and knowing that my hard earned money is going to people that have a passion for taking care of others.
If you’re looking for a chiropractor with knowledge, talent and heart, go see Victor. He’ll change your life.

Dr St John is the best. I’m an athlete in my 30s and compete in triathlons, and distance running, swimming and biking events. Dr St John is excellent at treating any injuries that come up as a result of these endeavors… The office is impeccably clean and the rest of the staff is friendly and helpful. There’s even an awesome dog who is the office mascot and super cool and sweet. I’m very grateful to Dr St John and this office for all their help. Ive recommended to others as well and everyone feels the same way!

The persistent, annoying and sometimes sudden pain in my foot lead me to visit Dr. Victor St. John last week. Much to my relief he was able get me moving in all directions with confidence again! Dr. St Johns’ approach was thorough and reassuring. He assessed what was going on, gave me a treatment that eased the pain immediately, and discussed with me preventive movements, exercises and shoes that has helped. I am grateful for his time and expertise, confident that I can follow through on his recommendations yet comforted that he can help me if I need him to. Thanks Dr. Vic!

Bottom line: He was able to help me heal two sports related injuries that other chiropractors/​physical therapists could not.

Details:
I visited Dr. Victor St. John because I had two sports related injuries — 1) chronic shoulder pain from archery, 2) recent achilles injury from running. After describing the pain and what might have caused it to Victor, he was able to relieve my pain.
After 2 sessions on the achilles, I was able to finish a 5K race in 24 minutes and I feel like I am in good shape for my Ragnar relay race this weekend. He cured my recent injury extremely quickly.
As for my shoulder, my primary reason for the visit, he was able to explain to me the different muscles and nerves that are at work when I practice my sport and he is the only person out of the three different doctors I have seen to actually reduce the pain. He uses the Graston tools to work on my shoulder and made some adjustments. Since this was a prolonged injury, he gave me some stretches and exercises to do as homework and after 4 sessions, the pain is much reduced.
He is not like the other two quacks who promised instant pain relief, tweaked my body without explaining anything, took my money and left me with more pain. Instead, Victor takes the time to talk things through with me and came up with a plan to fix this lingering problem. I wish I had seen him earlier.

I’ve had shin splints over the past decade or so and after seeing Dr. Victor just 3 times my legs have never felt better. I have hurt for so long that I didn’t realize how much pain I was always in until there was zero pain!

These are great doctors who honestly care about their patients well being. I’ve had multiple running injuries over the past year or so: two in my right foot, and one in my knees. Each time I saw Dr. Victor St. John he helped me recover quickly and gave me the knowledge I needed to prevent future injuries. Through his treatment and recommended exercises, I’m running comfortably and with more confidence!

My hand started hurting about six months ago. When the pain grew regular (and acute), I went to an orthopedist. He x-​rayed me, did an exam, and told me he couldn’t figure out what was wrong. BUT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I couldn’t put weight on my hand, I could barely even unscrew jars. My chiropractor, Dr. Tracey Reeb, suggested I visit Dr. St. John, since he’s a hand specialist. Within a few minutes, Dr. St. John figured out that my problem was tightness in tendons in my hand. He gave me a few simple exercises to do to stretch the tendons. Within several weeks of doing my exercises, I could feel the difference. Now I have no to minimal pain — a significant improvement not even a month later. Sometimes going to the right specialist is worth its weight in gold!

Dr. Vic is the ultimate answer to my pain relief. After all the nightmarish tales, I was more than cautious about my own foray into chiropractic therapy. I had the same kind of anxiety as any timid one would about a dentist. He allayed any fear I had had whatsoever. The experience started with the ease of accessible parking. As soon as I stepped into the practice, I was immersed in the ambiance of a spa: the bamboo, orchids, fresh and pleasant scent, and soft lights etc. After my neck, shoulder and arm pain saga, Dr. Vic explained each method he would apply to me in detail, specifically the Graston Technique, before he pulled out the instruments. Even with cold, solid steel implements, Dr. Vic was gentle. He worked on soft tissue on all the affected spots. He asked if I would like to adjusted. I reluctantly conceded. And I was pleasingly surprised that it didn’t hurt at all. Nothing felt askew. After what seemed like a relaxed conversation during a massage, the difference was night and day. I was practically immobile: unable to write, drive, eat, etc. After our session, I would’ve happily played sets of tennis. There was no talk of how many sessions I would need, only to see how I felt and we would be in touch soon. Whether you’re a seasoned chiropractic patient or a neophyte, Dr. Vic would serve you well. And that is an understatement.

I was having constant headaches and my dentist discovered that I have TMJ. He suggested chiropractic treatment so I thought I would give it a try. ANYTHING to make the headaches stop. I was nervous and hesitant because it was the first time that I had ever been to a chiropractor. Dr. St. John totally made me feel comfortable and was so gentle. Not to mention that the rooms are almost spa-​like with dim lights and mellow music! I now see Dr. St. John on a regular basis to control my TMJ. I would recommend him to anyone that has thought about chiropractic treatment but wasn’t sure if it was right for them. He is so thorough and will take the time to explain everything to you.
