What to Expect at Culver City Chiropractic – Culver City & Hawthorne
Whether it’s your first time seeing a chiropractor or you’re returning for new concerns, we want your experience at Culver City Chiropractic to feel clear, supportive, and stress-free. From the moment you walk in, our team is focused on listening to your story, identifying the source of your discomfort, and creating a plan that fits your needs, without medication or surgery.
Your First Visit: Listen, Learn, and Evaluate
Every new patient starts with a complete assessment to understand what’s going on and how we can help.
- Health History & Consultation
We begin by sitting down with you to learn more about your symptoms, lifestyle, stress levels, and any previous care or imaging. Whether your pain stems from an old injury or long hours at a desk, we want to hear your full story. - Orthopedic & Chiropractic Exam
Next, we perform a focused hands-on exam to assess spinal alignment, joint mobility, muscle tension, and nerve function. This helps us identify if your issue is structural, stress-related, or both. - Imaging Referral (if needed)
If your condition suggests possible disc involvement, nerve compression, or another deeper issue, we may refer you for outside imaging. In that case, we’ll schedule a second visit to go over those findings in detail. - Initial Treatment
If no imaging is required, and it’s safe to proceed, we’ll begin care based on what we find, always personalized to your condition and comfort level.
Your Second Visit: Results & Plan Forward
If imaging was ordered, your next visit focuses on reviewing the results and discussing next steps. We’ll explain what the images show, how they relate to your symptoms, and what treatment options make the most sense for you.
Your care plan may include:
- Gentle chiropractic adjustments
- SoftWave® tissue regeneration
- Spinal decompression
- Posture retraining or mobility drills
We’ll answer all your questions and adjust care to your preferences and goals.
Ongoing Care: Consistent, Focused, and Personalized
With each follow-up visit, we’ll track your progress and make adjustments based on how your body responds. Our goal is always long-term results, not temporary relief.
We believe in:
- Starting appointments on time
- Explaining what we’re doing and why
- Providing treatment that evolves with your healing
Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, dealing with chronic stiffness, or just want to feel stronger in your daily life, we’re here to help you move better, feel better, and stay better, naturally.
