It is impossible to overstate the genius of Justin Dean. He is a critical thinker. He continuously educates himself on the body, the nervous system, the organs, the muscles, the connective tissues... hes taken upon himself the continued training I wish any medical professional would. He thinks about the body as a system and works with you as an individual to FIX things (not just treat chronic conditions).Hes helped me with a back/spinal issue that I was told would need surgery or that I would need to get chronic pain treatment with steroid shots for. Working with him honestly has changed my life and set me up for success in ways I didnt know were critical at the time. But at this point, Im glad I had a spinal issue in the first place, because now Im en route having better overall health and a better understanding of how to work with my body.Tl;DR - Hes the most professional, educated, and best problem solver Ive ever had the pleasure of working with in the medical/physical health space.

Moved to LA with a bulging disc and really irritating stiffness in my lower back. Ive went to physical therapy before and only received SOME relief. Dean was straight to the point in our sessions, it felt like he attended to the root cause. He also showed me exercises I could do to make my life better.I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Justin is truly a master at his craft. I injured my lower back a year ago while lifting weights. I had nerve impingement along with excruciating lower back pain. I wasn’t able to sit, stand, lay down or do anything frankly for mediocre to long periods of time.(forget when working out). I was going to physical therapy twice a week for months on end. Being in pain consistently, I was beginning to accept that this was going to be my new state of norm. That I would just have to put up with this pain that would at times bring me to actual tears for the rest of my life. Then, Dr. Justin came into my life through a referral of a friend. I made an appointment not expecting anything to really change after going to one professional after another.In the beginning of the session after l explained to him what I was dealing with, He expressed instantly that he had no intention of dragging me along to hundreds of sessions and that I would feel brand new after a handful of sessions. Hearing how confident he was about making me better brought me near to tears at least three times during our conversation. After he examined me and worked his magic, I left feeling 80-85% better. For the first time in a year, I wasn’t thinking about my back pain or sciatic nerve numbness/pain.Now, after just four sessions, I’m back to living my normal every day life (yes that includes working out!!)I can’t express into words how much Dr Justin Dean’s help has meant to me. If you’re unsure, weary, and/or have just lost all hope, I urge you to make one appointment with him and ask yourself, What do you have to lose? He’s worth every penny!

Dr. Dean was referred to me by another mom in my older daughter’s baby group when my newborn son was extremely fussy and obviously uncomfortable. I had heard from my newborn care specialist that a chiropractor can help with the pain caused from a traumatic birth, so when I got a recommendation for a great chiro, I decided to give it a try. Dr. Dean came over and looked at my son, said his neck was really tight and his spine was most likely bruised during birth. He spent about an hour talking me through some exercises I could do on my own with my son, gently stretching his neck and even giving tips to my husband and daughter for some of their injuries. He was so gentle and made me feel so comfortable throughout the process. After one session I had a noticeably more comfortable baby. It was a magical transformation, and now Dr. Dean is even helping me with some knee pain!! My whole family is grateful to Dr. Dean and can’t say enough good things about how much he helped my little son. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Dean for issues and concerns with even your littlest kids!

Justin is a fantastic PT & is the most knowledgable person I’ve met in his field. My husband and I are both being treated for different long-term injuries and having tried many other avenues and being personally referred to Justin by a friend, we are very grateful to finally feel like we’re both on the road to recovery. My husband particularly has benefitted as he had to have surgery on herniated discs. The fact that he’s finally not in constant pain is a true testament to Justin’s help. Personally, I had some shoulder issues and a new knee issue that was becoming a constant pain. I’m so glad we found Justin, he’s fab. Highly recommend!

Dr. Dean is the absolute best. I had persistent back pain for 2+ years that multiple doctors could not diagnose or alleviate. It took Dean 1 visit to identify the issue... My pain significantly decreased after 2 visits, and now I only go in for check ups. I would recommend no one else.

So glad I was referred to Dr. Dean for my lower back pain. Turns out I had a bulging disc, and within one treatment I felt relief from the pain I’d been having for the last 4 months. Three sessions in I’m feeling much more mobile and my discomfort is nearly gone. Paired with the stretches recommended, I’ll be back to 100% in no time.Thank you Dr. Dean!

Dr. Dean was a fantastic chiropractor for me. I had a lot of wrist and arm pain from working as a programmer and he helped me rehab it from pain and keep it better than ever! He’s extremely knowledgeable in most muscle injuries and will actually help keep these healed from a long term perspective. I would highly encourage anyone with muscle therapeutic needs to contact Justin, a true leader in this field!

Best chiropractor in not only LA but the entire U.S. Ive endured multiple injuries throughout my soccer career and no one solved them as quickly and with such great care as Justin. If you are around LA and in pain you NEED to see Justin.

Dr. Justin is a LIFE SAVER! I have been dealing with low back pain for the better part of the last 15 years. Ive gone to over 20 chiropractors and therapists and I have never had experienced long lasting relief. Justin healed my pain in 8 sessions. He managed to CORRECTLY diagnose my issue and do all the complimentary work around my back to ensure that I wouldnt be in pain going forward. He was able to help me identify the things in my life that were causing the pain and eliminate them. I couldnt be more pleased about the progress. Many thanks Justin!

I had been seen by several doctors for Meralgia Parasthetica. They medicated me and did a basic therapy consisting of chiropractic adjustments and tens therapy. I was told I needed to lose weight for my pinched nerve to improve. All of this was very frustrated and gave me no relief. My leg pain was unbearable to the point where I’m not exaggerating, I thought surgery would be my only option. I googled treatments and was blessed enough to come across Dr Justin’s website. I reached out to him and scheduled an appointment. He told me it would take about 3-5 treatments for him to fix it, and I was very skeptical because of my past experiences with medications and treatments. I am 90% pain free after a few sessions and I just cannot be happier and relieved I didn’t need surgery. I can recommend Dr J anytime! He’s the best Dr. I’ve seen so far

Dr. Dean is the best. A chiropractor, a masseur and physical therapist all wrapped into one dedicated and highly motivated man. He wants to help you. I came in for sciatica and he figured out tension in my upper body from years of stress was the major culprit. He will not stop until he relieves your pain. Dont go anywhere else. Dr. Dean is at the top of his field.

I went to Deans Sports Therapy after I thought I had sciatica. Numerous visits to the chiro/massage therapist and pain is still there.During my first session, Justin told me it was Maignes Syndrome. After 3 sessions my pain is gone. If you want a quick fix, go to Justin. Ill definitely be coming back.Thanks again Justin!

With many decades of bodywork on all parts of the body (especially my back and hips, which are now both artificial), I must say that Justin has an approach unlike any other Ive experienced. He gets in deep doing techniques that Ive never heard of or seen but get at nagging issues unlike Ive ever experienced. Lets just say you can tell hes studied abroad and brings international body healing wisdom to LA. Its about time!Ive had some great results with him so far and were getting to the root of these issues in most cases.Not only that, hes got a great table-side manner and is a fun and funny guy!

Review №17

Life changing.As an artist your hands are the crucial part of creating. Chronic pain and loss of sensation in my hands had made it near impossible for me to create like I used to. For many years I went to see specialist after specialist, each one saying something different, telling me to pick another career, there was nothing wrong, I had carpal tunnel...etc etc.... But not one offered a solution that actually helped or improved my situation even 10%. So after years and lots of money thrown at specialists/doctors/chiropractors I had given up on the idea that my hands could get better, and to accept how they were.I originally went in for neck pain, and the more I talked with Dr. Dean he told me how my neck pain and hands were connected. And that he could help, I admit I was a bit skeptical as this had been going on for years. It was amazing not to have a doctor tell me that the pain was all in my head, or be upset when their text book response didn’t help, someone who actually listened and wanted to find the root of the problem - not just to mask it with medication. And he gave me exercises to help alleviate the pain that have been helping with dramatic differences in my daily life.After two sessions I not only have sensation in my hands for the first time in years, but I can illustrate like I used to many years ago. Needless to say I have been creating like crazy, and it is some of my best work yet. It is incredible to be able to create fine detail and not be in so much pain after creating a piece.I am incredibly particular about doctors, and I would highly recommend Dr. Dean. So don’t give up if you are having a chronic pain. Just make an appointment so that you can start doing what you love again.

Dr. Dean truly cares about what he does and it’s evident how much he wants to help others feel better and well. I respect his extensive knowledge and passion for chiro and physical therapy. He’s a great listener and I love his positive attitude! We definitely need more people like him in this world.

I used to go to my local chiropractor for 6 months and barely felt any difference. And to be honest, I never thought that (generally all) chiropractors would change something and genuinely care.I came to Dr. Dean with low back/hip pain and he made me feel better in 30 min. Perfectly explained what was going on. I am pretty confident he knows what he’s doing. It’s great to find someone like him who continues educating himself and cares about all his patients. Thank you so much!

Best chiropractor in LA! He’s very knowledgeable and is willing to explain everything to you in as much detail as you want. He’s worked with a lot of professional athletes which makes me feel like I’m in good hands. He’s also fixed a lot of rib pain and neck stiffness that I didn’t even know was abnormal!

I had a terrible Nerve pain and could not sleep, walk, drive, type, or even sit down from the severity of the pain. I saw seven specialists, primary care physician, pain management specialist, spine specialist, Neurologist, orthopedic, and an arm orthopedic. The diagnosis was Radial Tunnel Syndrome, none of the specialists was able to treat it. My Cousin recommended Dr. Justin Dean.... I did not believe that chiropractors were effective, BUT after having the first session with Justin... I felt Much better... and after the second session the pain level dropped from 10 to 3 ..... I’m so relieved and Thankful for Dr. Justin for his treatment. IT Works. 🙏🙏🙏

I am a touring musician and experienced lower back pain for years, through several doctors, chiropractors, accupuncturists, you name it. In just one visit with Dr. Dean, that all changed. I learned that some of the stretches and exercises I was doing to supposedly help the condition were actually making it worse! I took his advice, stopped those exercises, started a couple of other exercises instead that he recommended, and its changed my life! Plus hes a great guy. I cant recommend him highly enough.

After seeing many different physical therapists, chiropractors and other practitioners to help with lower back pain, Justin was the first to give me real information and a clear path to recovery. His knowledge and ability to cater the work specifically to what i needed was crucial as there really is no one fix to dealing with body pain. We’ve come a long way and I’m so glad I found Justin, give him a shot if you finally want answers and someone who genuinely knows what they’re doing.

Amazing, intuitive doctor!!! Dr. Dean focuses on treating the problem systemically, working with you to restore the body’s structural integrity, and teaching you the tools necessary to maintain it. Very kind, knowledgeable, and patient doctor who provides incredibly effective treatment. I feel better than I’ve felt in at least a decade. Thank you so much😊

Working in the performance and health & wellness field, I have been exposed to a lot of health care professionals. I can honestly say Dr. Justin Dean is one of the most knowledgeable and effective practitioners Ive ever worked with. His ability to incorporate a multitude of strategies to accurately find the source of dysfunction and create lasting change is second to none. His vast education and background allow him to quickly assess, test, treat, and restore function back to his patients. Not only is Dr. Dean a great practitioner, he is a also great human being who uses compassion, education, and empowerment to help his clients improve their quality of life.

I live in the Valley, specifically Valley Village area and when I began having lower back pain from disc herniation I looked for a professional in this area near me. When I met Dr. Justin Dean I only gave him simple information about what was bothering me because I have such a hard time explaining my symptoms and he knew EXACTLY what was wrong. His treatments are not traditional adjustments only but a more hands on therapeutic approach provided instant relief to my low back pain. Months later I began having problems with my neck and right shoulder. I knew where I can go, Dr. Justin Dean treats more than just the back. He was able to treat my problem for my shoulder in just one session when it felt like my arm was being ripped out of my shoulder. Nothing worked and the pain would not go away until he treated me. He was able to locate the root of the cause in my shoulder and used his own developed method to treat my pain and it worked! What ever you are experiencing Dr. Justin Dean can treat you. He is the best chiropractor in Los Angeles, and well WORTH the drive if you are further out. I will definitely be going back to him. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!

Rarely do I randomly call on a doctor I do not know or havent done my due-diligence on, but last week my forearm was in so much pain I guess I wasnt thinking straight. What a Divine Blessing I received in return. Not only did Dr. Dean reply quickly to my message, but he also made room in his schedule to see me at the end of his day. His qualities stood out to me, because they seem all but lost given our nations health care system. He is inquisitive, and asks very detailed questions. He listens carefully. He is attentive, gentle, and teaches you all about what hes thinking and doing. On top of that hes completely approachable. The office staff is friendly, and they validate your parking. I highly recommend, especially for sports injuries.

Justin did a thorough job of my issue and listened to every detail before looking into it. May I add he fit me into his schedule! I admired his knowledge and background working with athletes.

I can’t say strongly enough how amazing my experience with Dr. Dean has been. I struggled with a herniated disc aggravated just before covid hit for five months. It turned into sciatica pain and I couldn’t stand up for more than 5 minutes at a time.I saw chiros, did 10 sessions of acupuncture, and got an epidural. Everything was a bandaid with no lasting effects and things kept getting worse.I met Justin 5 weeks ago and within 4-5 sessions my pain has gone from a 9-10 to a 1, and should be 100% with a couple more sessions.He takes his time to figure out what your issues are, and is more knowledgeable about specific leading edge treatments that anyone else I’ve ever spoken to.I can’t recommend him enough.

Dr. Dean was lucky #6. After 5 other doctors before him couldn’t help me with my “tendinitis” I really had gave up and was just dealing with the pain. I had pain shooting from my neck into my shoulders, elbows and wrists. I was recommended to Dr. Dean on social media and after a great phone conversation I took the trek to Santa Monica. It was worth the drive! After just a few appointments my pain was reduced by at least half and some times it was completely gone. Now after a few months of seeing him I’m completely pain free and just stop in for tune ups. He was the only person who believed my pain and figured out it was nerve related. He really takes the time to listen to his patients and understand what could be causing the pain. He says his job is to keep players on the field and as someone who addicted to the gym, I never felt like I couldn’t work out. He gave me exercises to take home and ways to adjust my workouts to fit whatever pain I was dealing with. Highly recommend if you have an injury or pain you’ve been dealing with.Appreciate all the time and effort he put into my care.

I live in a different state than Dr. Dean. But as I researched my symptoms his name kept popping up. So I emailed him explaining very briefly what I had been through over the past year. After a couple days he called me and we talked for a significant amount of time. He listened. He was the first medical professional that listened to me. He was sympathetic to my sufferings and offered his opinion on what he thought was the problem best he could based on only a conversation. I told him that I was going to be traveling in his area the following week and he graciously said he would make time in his schedule to see me. Today was the day that I had the appointment and I have hope for the first time that my issue can be fixed. He spent an entire hour plus a little working on me. Trying different things and in the end confirming his initial diagnosis of Meralgia_paraesthetica. He listened to me. I am so grateful. He showed me and my husband some things to do at home and he is connecting me with a colleague of his that is in the same state as me for further treatments. He knows his stuff and he obviously loves what he does. It was worth every penny spent and every mile traveled to meet Dr. Dean.

Dr. Dean is an incredible doctor. I had hamstring problems in the past and the doctors I had seen told me it would take about 6-7 weeks before I was able to run at 100% speed and compete again. When it started acting up again I was referred to Dr. Dean and after 1 session he was able to pinpoint exactly where my injury was originating from and was able to help me get back to competing for my high school track team within about 2 1/2 weeks. He not only helped me with completing my final season as a high school athlete on a high note, he also helped me feel confident about my leg as I go into my collegiate career. For anyone whos having any problems with injuries I would definitely recommend seeing him, hes an amazing doctor and an amazing person all around!

Dr. Dean is the Best Chiropractor and manual therapist I’ve ever been to! I’ve been experiencing low back pain and sciatica from sciatica for the past year. It’s been horrible! Pain was down my leg and made working out terrible. Dr. Dean relieved my sciatica nerve pain the very first visit and was completely eliminated a week later! I now see him to strength my back and core to make sure I never experience sciatic nerve pain again! If your in the Santa Monica area or anywhere in LA then do yourself a favor and see Dr. Dean!!

ONE THOUSAND PERCENT THE BEST, Justin is the most surgical and effective practioner Ive worked with by far and Im a well researched, full-time personal trainer of 15 years. The level of sophistication his work is at is outstanding and astounding. Justin made swift work of my own issues Ive been troubleshooting for years/ working with many talented professionals to resolve without nearly as much to show for it. I refer all of my clients in Malibu, Santa Monica, the Palisades and Venice to Justin. We are lucky to have him in the neighborhood and I look forward to working with him past the point of recovery and being able to benefit from his knowledge to realize a level of optimization I never thought possible. No bs. Fully endorse. Highly recommend.

Review №38

So far, my time with Dr. Dean has been life changing. In just three weeks, I’ve experienced metamorphic change in my body’s function and mobility. As a former two-sport collegiate athlete, there’s not much that I haven’t tried when it comes to recovery and pliability. Without a doubt, one session with Dr. Dean is worth them all combined. Unlike western medicine, Dr. Dean takes a more traditional eastern approach by treating the root cause of the pain rather than the symptom(s). To echo other reviews here, he understands the need for not just eliminating pain, but also the desire to reach peak performance. I’ve suffered from asthma my entire life, and I can honestly say I’ve learned more from Dr. Dean in the last three weeks about core/breath connection and diaphragm breathing than I have from any doctor, PT, or strength training coach. My chronic hip & shoulder clicking is gone, and I see progress everyday. No doubt about it, Dr. Dean is the best in the business. Highly recommend.

After 3 consecutive spinal surgeries, it was starting to look like I would end up in a wheelchair; I worked with numerous physical therapists and absolutely none of them seemed to help...until I found Dr. Justin Dean. Dr. Dean epitomizes compassionate care and he is simply extraordinary at teaching people how to move their bodies in ways that helped restore my ability to walk and even run now its truly nothing short of a miracle! I couldnt be more grateful to him for giving me back my life as I knew it prior to the surgeries!! Dr. Dean has traveled the world sharing his expertise and there is no one comparable if you are suffering in any way. It is with the highest recommendation and respect that I write this review; my admiration for his work as well as his commitment to his patients is unparalleled. Thank you, Dr. Dean!!!

Justin is absolutely the best chiropractor Ive ever had. His aim is to get you out of pain, and keep you out of pain without needing to keep coming back. I hesitated seeing a chiropractor for quite a while in fear it would not solve my issues permanently, and that I would need to come back every week. I was relieved to have found Justin Dean, whos goal is to send you out the door. He educates his patients so that they understand what is causing the pain, and shows me exercises I can do at home whenever I need relief. Hes always had great communication and hes happy to answer any questions you have at any time in the week. I cannot recommend this guy enough!

Dr. Dean is phenomenal. He is personable, knowledgeable, funny, and super kind. As a runner, I have dealt on and off with Achilles’ tendon pain. Currently training for a marathon, my Achilles has been giving me a lot of issues recently. In just one session with Dr. Dean he was able to reduce my pain by 75%! It was pretty amazing. Not only that, but he gave me some tools for me to use on my own that has helped me keep my pain down. Just this last weekend, I did my longest run yet, 20 miles, completely pain free! I attribute all of this to Dr. Dean and how he has helped me overcome my injury. Thanks Doc!!!

Dr. Dean brings with him an extensive background and knowledge base. By taking a holistic approach, he looks to achieve full-body balance, carefully using opposing stretching techniques and exercises to isolate problem areas, reestablish range of motion, and help heal injuries. I appreciated his candor and willingness to explain the reasons behind his instructions. I learned a great deal about not only my shoulder issues, but also the way my brain sends signals throughout my body. Dr. Dean is kind, patient, and incredibly well-trained. I highly recommend him for anyone who has tried to heal problem areas and has failed with other doctors or treatments.

Review №46

Dr. Dean healed my knee without surgery. I was told by a specialist that I needed a surgery to fix the meniscus tear and baker cyst on my right knee. I was suffering with this issue for over 2 years. The first specialist said I have early stage arthritis and recommended physical therapy. I went to a physical therapist for about 6 weeks and the therapist was able to help me but it was not completely healed. I stopped limping but I still was not able to walk up and down the stairs and had really bad pain when bending my knee. The second specialist confirmed the tear and bakers cyst and said he can fix it with a 20-minute surgery followed by 2 months of physical therapy. I avoided scheduling knee surgery for months. I lost lots of weight and thought that would alleviate the strain on my knee but that did not fix it.I looked up Physical Therapist in my area about a year later after seeing the first physical therapist and found Dr. Dean. On the first visit he knew exactly what to do and HE DID IT. After seeing Dr. Dean for a few visits, he completely fixed my knee. My ligaments are now hydrated and I cant feel the cyst any longer. I actually completed a 2-hour hike at Eaten Canyon in Pasadena after seeing him a few times. I am thankful for Dr. Dean because if it was not for him, I would have had surgery and still would have needed at least 2 months physical therapy. Thank you, Dr. Dean, for healing me without surgery. You have magical healing hands.

Dr. Dean is one of the absolute best practioners you will find. He is brilliant, humble, and professional.

As a strength athlete, it can be hard to find a good chiropractor or physical therapist that understands the need for not just getting out of pain, but getting back to a certain level of performance. Every time Ive gone to see Dr. Dean hes helped achieve both of these things in an efficient and concise way. Unlike other practicioners Dr. Dean isnt in the game of trying to sell you on as many recurring sessions as possible and genuinely wants to just help you solve the issue and get you back to doing the things you want to do as quickly as possible. After seeing him for a lower back pain issue, within a couple of visits he was able to show me things to help get me out of pain, correct the root cause of the pain to help prevent it in the future, and provide me with strategies for dealing with these sorts of things on my own in the future. I highly recommend him for anyone, athlete or otherwise.

I cannot begin to thank Dr. Dean enough - a car accident 2 years ago had left me with chronic neck pain and I thought I would be in pain the rest of my life. I had seen countless other doctors and chiropractors over the past two years and no one was able to help me - that is until Dr. Dean. He sat me down and walked me through my injury and how he was going to fix it. After one session I felt so much better than I actually cried in his office! Now I can confidently say am completely free of pain, which a few months ago I didnt think was possible. I could not recommend Dr. Dean more! He is absolutely one of the best (if not THE best) doctors out there.

Thankfully my friend referred me to Dr. Dean, and within hours I got in touch with him directly and had an appointment scheduled for only days later!Hes extremely knowledgeable, professional, and really gives the attention your injury deserves by first wanting to understand the root cause (versus only addressing the injury itself). He takes time to explain to you his treatment and how its supposed to correct the issue, in both scientific terms and relatable analogies :) Dr. Dean will make you feel comfortable and at ease to the point where it feels like youre just hanging out with an old friend. And to top it all off, Ive had amazing progress after only 2 sessions. All my pain is gone! Im now starting to think hes some sort of magician!

Dr. Dean is wonderful! Hes very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly! He always explains whats going on and what else I can do at home or while traveling too. Really helping my jaw and neck/shoulder pain!

Literally, the Yoda of healing your body. Hands down the best chiropractor in West LA/Santa Monica area. Hes much more than just a chiropractor... you have to try him out to experience it. Hes incorporated techniques from all over the world into what essentially boils down to what I could only describe as magic. Ive tried everything known to man before seeing him with no results at other places, and over the course of our treatment hes radically improved my issues. Dr. Dean is the man.

I was never a fan of chiropractors. I’d been to several with no improvement. Then came Dr Dean. He has helped me tremendously. I never thought I’d get relief for my low back, neck, or shoulders. Dr Dean has changed my mind about chiropractors. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Dean is an absolutely excellent diagnostician and practitioner. Over the years he has helped so many of my distance runners with hands on treatment and advice. I recommend him unconditionally!

I started seeing Justin due to chronic pain in multiple parts of my body. I had been dealing with chronic migraines, hip pain, and recently tore my shoulder. Justin had me walking different after just one session and my shoulder has never had more mobility or stability even before the surgery. I have been seeing him for a couple months now and some of the problems I didn’t even relate to fascial tensions (like my headaches) he was able to reduce by 50% within a few sessions. Mind you I have traveled the whole country and world to the top neurologist and headache specials and none of them had been able to alleviate my headaches even 1%. If you have been suffering with chronic issues of any kind I highly recommend Dr. Dean. Best chiropractor and soft tissue special in Los Angeles hands down.

I had lower leg and knee pain for almost 10 months when I went to see Dr. Dean, and I was not disappointed. I had been to many different doctors and wasted plenty of money with no results and Dr. Dean was able to change that. He has a great facility and hes extremely knowledgable in everything that he does. He walked me through the things that he was doing and taught me a lot of while continuing to work. When I walked out of my 1st visit, for the first time in 10 months, I didnt have any pain in my calf and I now had a real plan to permanently get rid of that pain, which was something that no one else had been able to do. I I will definitely recommend him to anyone who has any kind of pain.

Dr. Justin Dean is an amazing doc. He fully resolved all of my back pain during college. I couldnt sit in class and my grades were suffering because of it. He taught me what caused the pain and how to keep it away. This guy is great! The best chiropractor in LA!

Dr. Dean is the best chiropractor in Los Angeles. And his knowledge/experience go far beyond just chiropractic care. I felt immediate pain relief progress after my first visit for a herniated disc in my low back and keeps feeling better and better with each visit. Highly recommend!

I was diagnosed with a torn hip labrum 4 years ago and never had any treatment or therapy for it. I came to Dr. Dean still dealing with pain, especially when I tried to workout. I couldnt do lunges or step-ups on the bad hip. After just one session with Dr. Dean I was able to start incorporating those exercises back into my workout and was performing them very well. He is the best! I never thought Id feel any improvement with my hip and I definitely have after seeing him.

Orthopedic surgeons told me I needed a hip replacement at 42. Basic daily activities like sitting for long periods or tieing my shoes caused major pain, and more intense physical activity was out of the question. Dr. Dean got me out of pain and restored mobility to areas that had been compromised for many, many months. My quality of life has improved tremendously, and Im even able to perform some of the weightlifting activities that Id previously had to drop from my training program. Dr. Dean is attentive to my symptoms and draws on a wide variety of techniques in my treatment. Plus, he gives me the sense that he is personally invested in my well-being, a quality that many therapists unfortunately lack. Im always impressed when he comes back from an advanced training seminar having studied new techniques that he thinks will benefit my condition. Great practitioner, great guy, and I recommend him without reservations to anyone who is interested in proving their surgeons wrong.

Ive been treated by Dr Dean a few times over the last year for some hip mobility issues that were effecting my back. I had some back pain that started a year ago that I thought was just going to go away. It lingered to say the least. Ive seen some other doctors he suggested who were closer to me and they have been great as well. Nothing but great suggestions from this guy.After one treatment I felt better than I have after months of daily stretching and corrective exercises.Best chiropractor in Los Angeles for sure and maybe LA County. Ive already referred 3 friends there for knee pain, back pain and neck pain. Im hoping they have the same results!

Dr. Dean is the best chiropractor I have used in Los Angeles. He not only fixed my back pain but he prevented it from coming back. He has worked on my wrist as well. He is currently rehabbing my ACL as I just had surgery. This just goes to show that he is a professional in every aspect of the practice, not strictly the neck and back.

Dr. Dean is amazing!!! I went to him at a raving recommendation of a friend. I was experience severe sciatica that had been bothering me for months. I’ve seen several other doctors, PTs and other Chiropractors with no real results. Dr. Dean was able to completely relieve my sciatica in the first session and teach me exercises on how to relieve my pain at home. Seriously a Top notch Chiropractor. Worth the money!!

Review №75

I met Justin while I was finishing up a workout at equinox. He recognized a small discrepancy in my body positioning with one of my lifts, and asked if I had any injuries. We ended up talking about my 2 ACL surgeries in my right knee, and my separated left shoulder. Soccer injuries in my past, running in recent years wore down my knees, and cycling has had its way with me. We connected because of similar backgrounds - he’s an athlete, he understood my years of abuse on my body, and he could speak in a way about my injuries that no one else in his field could. I expected the typical chiro and got someone with a much different, more innovative approach.His fascia release methods have had a dramatic impact on my well being. I went from not being able to squat 90 degrees to almost getting my butt to the floor - drastic improvement. I went from having a torn quad that hurt and was flexed at all times to a muscle that completely released. My knee is looser than it’s been in years which makes cycling enjoyable, and has enabled me to build more miles and increase intensity. I’m about to head to Spain to spend 6 days climbing the Pyrenees, which would have been a stretch 6 months ago.I continue to see Dr Dean 1-2 times per week for general maintenance. His fascia release methods hurt - in a good way. It’s not a massage, it’s not a crack or the neck - it’s treating the problem not the symptom. I’m a believer and continue to send friends his way. Every single person with pain should see Dr Dean.By the way, talk about someone focused on their craft. All this guy does is study and learn. Constantly learning new techniques, and always happy to explain it to you.

Dr Dean helped my labral tear so much! I was a professional dancer, and had to stop dancing because of this tear. With in minutes he got the chronic pinching feeling to go away that has lasted years. I was very impressed with his span of knowledge and ability to apply it. I work with elite level dancers, and now have my go to in LA for help. Thanks Dr. Dean!

Dr Dean is certainly one of the best Chirpractors I have ever seen. Though he is not your typical chiropractor. His sports medicine clinic in West LA/Santa Monica is so conviently located to my work! Within just a few visits he was able to help me with my low back pain. I highly recommend him if you’re experiencing low back pain.

Review №78

During a business trip to LA I was recommended Dr. Dean as the guy to address my back pain. Ive seen several physical therapists, chiropractors and orthopedists and still my low back pain persisted. In one visit he educated me about the cause of my problem and quickly eliminated all of my pain. Dr. Dean is the best chiropractor Ive seen and I highly recommend him! He certainly is the guy. Ill be flying back to see him in the future!

Herniated disc cured! I’ve been to several doctors who told me that I had a “bad back” and would just have to manage the pain with pain killers. Dr. Dean taught me what caused my pain, how to fix it and the hands on work was amazing! Highly recommend, best Chiropractor ever!

I am a former NCAA athlete now in my 50s. I was experiencing extreme neck and shoulder(s) pain with no medical relief in sight other than potential surgery. My pain was due in part to past injuries I endured that caught up to me.As a secondary option and for immediate relief, my GP, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor in Studio City, referred me to a cutting-edge physical therapist he met by the name of Dr. Justin Dean. Dr. Dean scheduled to see me immediately, where he focused right in and began applying his unique techniques to help alleviate the excruciating pain I was under. Within 15 minutes I began to feel results. Dr. Dean treated me thereafter twice a week, then eventually twice a month for three months. Dr. Deans mission was to eliminate my pain fast and provide home exercises I could utilize if flare ups should occur. Ultimately, he said, I want my patients to heal and not have to keep coming back. Truly, I have never heard a doctor tell me that!Its amazing Dr. Dean was able to undo years of collective injuries I sustained without the need for surgery.Today, four months later, I have zero pain in my shoulders and neck have better mobility then I did five plus years ago. Unbelievable!Dr. Dean, you are truly a caring, compassionate, intelligent and cutting edge doctor as you are known by many as. I am thankful and blessed for what you have done for me. Thank you, thank you... Carla Shaw

Hands down, one of the most amazing doctors I have had the pleasure to work with! I’ve suffered from chronic pain in my arm and neck, and finally got to the point that medical intervention was absolutely necessary. ONE session. ONE!!! I woke up the day following my treatment with Dr. Dean and had NO PAIN!! He even walked me through a set of exercises to do at home to work on the muscles and nerves. I was in tears seeing how much of my pain was relieved in such a short period of time, and am beyond anxious to continue my treatments with Dr. Dean!!Thank you Dr. Dean!!!!!!!

I came to see Dr. Justin Dean because I had a very bad back, Years of dancing had made my back very sore I was in severe level 10 pain.I had no idea what was causing it and I was helpless.In one visit, my pain dropped to level 2 and in a total of 3, I was pain free. Not only did he help with the pain, he gave me take-home exercises to do which helped so much that I didnt have to see him anymore.So happy I made the decision to see him. He is the best in the Valley at the moment, in my opinion.

Review №85

Dr. Dean is amazing! I have been experience years of right lower back pain from a few herniated discs. I was told that surgery was the only option to relieve my sciatica. I really don’t want to get surgery, so I’ve been to several chiropractor and PT’s, but with no success. I saw Dr. Dean from a recommendation of a friend. I was reluctant and even cancelled my appointment a few times. Once I finally saw him he amazed that he was able to put me in a position that relieved my leg pain for the first time in 2 years!!! 3 weeks later I’m now pain free and so happy that this is all behind me. Can’t recommend him enough!

Ive been having tension headaches and migraines for most of my adult life. I could have anywhere from 2-3 migraines a week. Now Im seeing Dr. Dean consistently and I get a migraine maybe once a month and never the severity of what it used to be. Hes the best chiropractor for soft tissue work and corrective exercise and doesnt just adjust you and send you on your way.

I had hurt my foot about 10 years ago, and had given up hope of it ever feeling good again. I saw Dr Dean about two years ago and he used a Stecco myofascial technique and within two visits my foot had was feeling 100% again. I have since been back to rock climbing, bike riding and all sorts of activities that I thought I would have to give up. Thanks Dr. Dean, you healed up my ankle and it has remained that way!

I highly recommend Dr. Dean. He was the only doctor who was able to help me heal my leg pain that I had for over a year. I saw Orthopedic doctors, physical therapists, chiropractors, rolfers, massage therapists, had graston technique applied, got expensive MRIs, but Dr. Dean was the only one that figured out what I needed to make my leg feel better. Hes very insightful, and gave me easy exercises to do at home, which has done wonders for my pain, and Im now back to doing my favorite workouts again. Most of the doctors I saw before promised a lot, but Dr. Dean actually delivers!
