Conditions We Treat

If it's affecting your spine, nerves, or how you move — we can help.

Most patients come in with one of the conditions below. Some come in with several. Whatever brought you here, the approach is the same: understand it fully before treating it.

Chiropractic care is most effective when it starts with a thorough understanding of what's actually going on. Every condition listed here is something Dr. Chakrian regularly evaluates and treats at Spine Bar in Toluca Lake.

Lower Back Pain

The most common reason people walk through the door. Whether it’s acute, chronic, or somewhere in between, lower back pain responds well to chiropractic care — especially when the underlying mechanics are addressed, not just the pain.

Neck Pain

Cervical spine restrictions, muscle guarding, and referred pain into the shoulders and arms are among the most common presentations we see. Manual adjustment and soft tissue work can make a significant difference quickly.

Sciatica

Radiating pain, numbness, or tingling down the leg is often traced to nerve compression in the lumbar spine or piriformis syndrome. Identifying the actual source matters — treatment is different depending on where the compression is.

Disc Herniation & Bulging Discs

Disc injuries are frequently overtreated surgically. Many patients with confirmed herniations respond well to conservative chiropractic care. We’ll assess whether conservative care is appropriate and explain exactly why.

Headaches & Migraines

Cervicogenic headaches — those driven by tension and restriction in the upper cervical spine — are highly responsive to chiropractic adjustment. Many patients who have lived with chronic headaches see real, lasting improvement.

Hip Pain

Hip dysfunction often presents alongside lumbar restriction. We assess the full kinetic chain — lower back, pelvis, SI joint, and hip — rather than treating any structure in isolation.

Shoulder & Upper Back Pain

Thoracic stiffness, rotator cuff tension, and shoulder impingement frequently respond to both spinal adjustment and targeted soft tissue work. We address the shoulder girdle as part of the whole spine.

Tech Neck & Postural Strain

Hours of forward head posture at a screen creates predictable patterns of cervical compression and thoracic stiffness. This is one of the fastest-growing presentations in clinical practice — and one of the most preventable.

Sports & Athletic Injuries

Spinal and extremity injuries from training, competition, or repetitive load are part of what we treat regularly. The goal is to return you to full function — not just to baseline.

Auto Accident Injuries

Whiplash, cervical strain, and post-collision pain are conditions we treat on a personal injury lien basis — meaning no out-of-pocket cost to you while your case is pending. Early treatment leads to better outcomes.

Pediatric Spinal Care

Children carry spinal stress from sports, heavy backpacks, and screen habits. We use light-contact, age-appropriate adjustments for patients under 18 — nothing forceful, nothing that doesn’t match their size and presentation.
