Review:

EXCELLENCE, DECENCY AND CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONALISM. This is actually a (revised) repost of a review left months ago that must've not been posted using a new app that apparently doesn't work. But I can do this from memory, as my sentiments haven't changed and have possibly even become stronger over time. I can't say enough how grateful I am to have found Dr. Shannahoff. It started off as a group of treatments that were gifted to me by a dear friend. After the treatment package ended, I stayed on and the initial spinal decompression therapy has now expanded to anti-inflammatory hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy. He should open a food court at the office, because at this point, I'd probably eat there, as well. 🥙 Joking aside, Dr. Shannahoff is firstly, one of the best human beings I have ever met. And as rare as this happens for me, he and I have become friends and talk about our common interests outside of pain management and health. He's the easiest guy to talk to and is as nice as they come. 👍🏽 As far as his treatment goes, I can firmly say that it has opened up physical possibilities that were once limited by extreme pain and limited range of motion. With him, I'm back cycling again, surfing and doing activities that I normally would've avoided because of the painful aftermath associated with them. Additionally, I've been able to get off of my pharmaceutical pain regimen, which brought with it a whole host of other issues. Of course, with the back, it's up and down and I'm my own worst enemy when I push myself too hard and have to crawl into his office to get fixed or stretched back to normal. But I honestly don't know where I'd be without "Dr. B," as I call him. He helps me understand the limits and how to live a fulfilling life within those limits without feeling shortchanged in any way. He's also become an unexpected friend and a life anchor for me when I needed that the most. I guess things happen for a reason. So thank you, Dr. B—you're a true mensch and I bless the day I met you! 🙏🏽 I suppose if there's a takeaway from this review, then it might be this: Dr. Shannahoff is one of the few doctors who I can say positively shaped the course of my health (as well as mental approach to health) the MOST. He has shown me how wonderful and beneficial a patient-doctor relationship could be and truly gives me something to look forward to on the days I go to see him. It also is one appointment for which I will GLADLY take on the Los Angeles traffic! So, if you want to get serious about resolving your back and flexibility issues, know that Dr. Shannahoff is more than just a chiropractor, he is a HEALER. And if your goal is to reduce inflammation and even (according to the experts) look younger and possibly live longer, then you should also look into hyperbaric oxygen therapy—whether with Dr. Shannahoff or someone else. And BONUS: women who didn't really give me a second look are asking me "what I did" because I look "ten years younger." I just say, "Ancient Chinese secret." (with a totally inappropriate Mandarin accent). No joke. Give Dr. Shannahoff a try, even though you've been to DCs before or think you've exhausted similar avenues. Remember that healing is facilitated through the hands (and heart) of the individual healer, so every healer brings with him/her a different level of said healing. Thanks for reading and may you continue on your personal healing journey to successful maintenance or a conclusion!

Review:

I VERY rarely write reviews but I have to write one for Dr. Shannahoff. Super nice, personable and knowledgeable. I had a pinched nerve in my neck which not only made me not be able to raise my left arm but also made me not able to play pool, which is my love . Also not be able to make pizza, which I've been doing for 15 years plus. I tossed the dough in the air just like you see in restaurants. It was VERY stressful and devastating to me not to mention some basic motor skills that I completely lost. I could not raise my arm more than what would be parallel to the ground. After treatment it wasn't 100% there but Dr. informed me that It should get better. Wow and it sure did (Knowledge). I cannot thank him enough about brining my life back to normalcy again. I Humbly thank you Dr. Shannahoff!

Review:

After taking lots of medication and seeing several doctors and surgeons, for my excruciating back pain, my last resort was to submit myself to a back surgery. That was frightening. My husband proposed that I see Dr. Bruce Shannahoff. He had previously been treated by the Doctor for a neck injury. To make a long story short, after I finished my sessions with Dr. Shannahoff at the Valley Decompression Center, I am pain free for 2 months. The doctor is very pleasant and the decompression process is pain free. That is why I highly recommend this doctor.

Review:

My dad has been having pain in his lower back for about 15 years and he didn’t find no one to help him he would go doctor to doctor. Till about a month ago he couldn’t stand the pain and wanted to go to Mexico but I did a lot of research and found Dr.Bruce I called him and explained my dads situation about his Discs and we set up a consult visit. After the consult visit he put my dad on the compression machine to help with his discs no lie my dad felt like new after that consult. We knew he was going to make a change in my dad’s life. Today was his last session and he hasn’t had no pain ever since he started the treatment with Dr.Bruce and he feels like a new man! My dad is 56years old Never have I seen my dad so happy and not complaining everyday about his back. He says that Dr.Bruce was sent from god so he wouldn’t have to go to Mexico lol Thank you so much for your work and I totally recommend him to anyone that has problems with there discs. He’s a really good specialist and knows exactly what he’s doing. I give him more than 5 stars.

Review:

Before seeing Dr. Shanahoff I was suffering from 8/10 back pain every single day with burning sensation that radiates to my left leg. I was already being referred to a pain specialist when my employer recommended Dr. Shanahoff. 3 days into decompression treatment, burning sensation on my left leg is gone and my back just got better after each session. I never had this much relief for so many years that I forgot how good it feels. Dr. Shanahoff indeed is a miracle worker. His healing power doesn't just come from his knowledge of the craft but from his passion to help people live life like they used to no matter what it takes and how long it takes. I will never get tired of thanking this kind doctor who keeps me going through my daily grind. The relief I get each time is priceless. Thank you Dr. Shanahoff for all the the help you have been extending to all of us.
