Patient stories from Active Body Chiropractic Culver City
Hearing from people who faced the same pain, trained for the same race, or simply wanted to sit comfortably at work can help you decide whether chiropractic care is the right fit. Below you’ll find first-hand accounts—written, video, and star-rated—that show what our approach looks like outside the clinic.
Lauren K. — From hip surgery to national stage
“Five years ago my surgeon doubted I’d walk unaided. Dr. Hogan mapped every movement flaw, built a phased plan, and kept adjusting as I regained strength. Last season I stepped onto the National Figure stage pain‑free. Training is fun again, not fearful.”
Background
• Shattered pelvis (2006) followed by reconstructive hip surgery.
• Needed safe, sport‑specific care to resume training as a strength coach and figure competitor.
Care plan
| Stage | Care focus | Milestone |
| Month 0–3 | Gentle spinal and hip adjustments, SoftWaveⓇ for scar‑tissue mobility | Walked unassisted without crutches |
| Month 4–6 | Progressive lifting mechanics, core‑stability drills | Returned to strength training at 60 % loads |
| Month 7–12 | Competition‑prep mobility, monthly tune‑ups | Qualified for National Figure Championships |
John K. — Whiplash relief after years of pain
“A few precise neck adjustments and SoftWave therapy restored motion I hadn’t felt since the accident. I wish I’d come sooner.”
Background
• Auto collision left chronic neck and shoulder pain that radiated into the right arm.
• Limited daily tasks and disrupted sleep for over three years.
Care plan
| Stage | Care focus | Milestone |
| Visit 1–2 | Cervical adjustments, heat‑stim to calm spasm | Neck rotation improved 40 ° ➔ 60 ° |
| Visit 3–4 | SoftWave to reduce nerve irritation | Arm tingling dropped from daily to rare |
| Visit 5–6 | Home stretches + posture coaching | Full head-turn for driving; pain‑free sleep |
