While I have minor scoliosis, Id never seen a chiropractor before. Ive practiced yoga for years which has helped, but I felt as if I was crooked and eager to do something about it. Dr. Mike listened to my concerns and genuinely wanted to help fix them. The center is more than an office. Its such a unique and warm environment that emulates human connection. I felt at ease the moment I walked in, knowing I would feel better when I left. Im grateful to have found Dr. Mike and have him support me on my healing journey. Id recommend Life Center Chiropractic to anyone looking for a chiropractor in LA.

I was in a head-on collision in 2000 that resulted in a destabilized spine and pelvis, doctors offered no possibility of stabilization. After years of chronic pain issues, I found Dr Brook when I moved to LA in 2016. His treatment has been life-changing. Not only is my spine stabilized, I am off pain meds and I am doing activities I never thought I would enjoy again: body boarding, roller skating, hiking with a pack, and even running! I recently took a road trip of almost 3000 miles that would have had me in crippling pain before I worked with Dr Brook, I had no flare ups. This doctor is a miracle worker and I cannot recommend him more highly. I thank him daily for giving me my life back.

Hands down probably the coolest health and wellbeing experienced ive had. Dr Brook fixed chronic lower back pain I had for years, and opened my eyes to holistic health and its impact on whole body healing. Highly recommend a 6 month course, it is well worth the $$

Let me start with my experience just entering the facility, I did a double-take! The energy and quality of customer service exceeded my expectations of just another doctors office. Dr. Mike has a way with explaining information in such a way that I felt inspired to learn more about my body. He checks in with you each step of the way. Ive had chiropractors that left me feeling traumatized from handling my body like a rag doll. His thoroughness and specific questions made me feel reassured and safe, which I believe is most important. He has a great ability to pay attention to detail and read the human body without physically touching you! I never thought Id enjoy going to a chiropractor until I met Dr. Mike! During these current times, finances have been challenging but Dr. Mikes payment options put me at ease.

I wanted to highlight my experience with The Life Center Chiropractic and Dr. Mike. This is my first time working with a Chiropractor and hands down it is truly an amazing experience and extremely helpful. I had extreme tightness in my neck and back which led to headaches, brain fog, and trouble with quality sleep! After conducting initial tests and exams it was clear my alignment in my neck and back were skewed, which really threw off the way my body and brain flowed and communicated. Quickly after starting my program (3 times per week) with The Life Center Chiropractic I noticed my body to be less tense, less stressed, I felt lighter and clearer. Constantly working on my alignment has led me to have better quality of life, deeper sleep and to be honest more energy!Without question I would recommend Dr. Mike and The Life Center Chiropractic entire team! The team are insanely nice, fun and they really take care of their clients which the treat like family!Grateful for Dr. Mike and The Life Center Chiropractic team!Mike P.

Dr. Mike is amazing - friendly and very knowledgeable with the body. He practically cured me of all the random Dad issues I had from throwing around my toddler.The Life Center itself is unlike any other chiropractic office I’ve even been to. Hard to even call it in office because it feels so special and welcoming even for newbies.As a regular you’ll likely find to yourself stretching on a balance ball in the waiting area next to an A-list actor, athlete, or musician. So much gratitude for the whole team.

My neck was in pretty bad shape when I first started coming i. to see Mike. I really love how precise he has been with the x-rays and how attuned he is to the specific areas I needed to focus on. My neck has felt soooo much better after coming into to see him for a handful of sessions. I am also grateful for all the exercises he has taught me to keep my spine in shape between visits.

I came to The Life Center Chiropractic in early spring of 2020 on a recommendation from a friend. I was undergoing extreme stress which led to back pain and limited mobility, which was quite debilitating. I had tried chiropractic care in the past for lower back issues and was not impressed by my results. Dr. Mike was very kind and caring and worked with me through 2 series of sessions. I am much more flexible now, and my pain and mobility are very much improved. It appears that my scoliosis has improved as well.He recommends to me other options for care in other areas as well. The office is warm and welcoming, and the staff are kind and helpful. I have recommended this practice to my friends and would highly recommend The Life Center Chiropractic to anyone else who is suffering from issues that can be related to spinal misalignment. I believe that they will be able to help you heal and help you maintain good spinal health.

Today on Thanksgiving I give a special thanks to Dr Mike who for more than 5 months of treatment and care, today I remembered the first day that I came in desperate to my first appointment. My lower back hurt so much that I could barely walk. I was so bad with my posture, and I could barely walk. Even to think that the pain would never let me run, exercise or even walk without feeling so much pain made me lose hope and optimism. But, from my first appointment with Dr. Mike, he gave me positivity and treated me with care, professionalism, but above all he helped my body heal and go back to normal. He taught me that I should listen to my body, so much that today for the first time in 5 months I ran 10 miles again. And the best thing is I get to enjoy a better posture, walk without pain, sleep without insomnia, and my stress level dropped to a surprising level. Thank you Dr. Mike, I 100% recommended if anyone needs an amazing chiropractor. And all the staff who worked there were so amazing, patient and welcoming.

Over the past 20 years Ive had issues with slipped discs and sciatica preventing me from doing basic daily tasks. I have been to a bunch of other chiropractors, physical therapist, acupuncturist, etc and nothing helped. After my brother referred me over to The Life Center, Dr Mike took the time to understand my issues and laid out a plan to get me moving again. I am now able to live with a lot less pain and a better range of motion which in turn increased my quality of life massively.Their entire office staff is very friendly, clean and they take all proper Covid precautions. Highly recommended!

The Life Center Chiropractic is the place you didn’t know you needed. Dr. Mike Isseks and the rest of the staff have curated a chiropractic experience into an intuitive mind, body, and soul practice. They embody a philosophy of healing that doesn’t end with aligning bones but by aligning the mind and spirit with it.I couldn’t speak more highly of the staff. They are attentive, kind, personable, and have exemplary customer service. You are greeted with smiles and leave feeling empowered and on your way to healing. It’s the experience anyone would want when working to find the best solution towards optimal physical health. You will not find better than The Life Center Chiropractic.

The Life Center and Dr. Mike are the best! From my first visit, I could sense that they had a different approach than some other facilities I had been to. When you walk in, you are greeted by the friendly front desk staff, relaxing music and essential oils. I can tell they put a lot of emphasis on customer service because the staff treats the customers differently than most places, which is refreshing if you are a fan of the dying art of customer service. Also, they take my health insurance, which is fantastic. The waiting area uses these ergonomic ball chairs which, again, just shows that they are practicing and emparting onto patients a lifestyle and mindset. There are so many regulars and everyone is so friendly that you start to feel like part of a community. Dr. Mike is a fantastic adjuster and I always left feeling very aligned, both mentally and physically. My buddy also goes there, and he was actually the one who recommended Dr. Mike - so glad he did!

I was rear-ended and sandwiched between two vehicles while driving and ultimately was in an immense amount of pain from my neck down to my low back. With my lawyer, he recommended that I see Dr. Mike, from The Life Center Chiropractic. Being an active person my whole life the pain I was having was holding me back from all sports and activities I wanted to do throughout my whole life. Dr. Mike and I spent several months together as he was reconstructing my spine and neck. After our sessions were ultimately all over I have never been more flexible in my entire life. I have had more mobility and strength than I ever did pre-accident. I continue to see Dr. Mike on a weekly basis because I truly believe that weekly adjustments are good for your body and soul. Without Dr. Mike I would not be where I am at today.

The most through and caring chiropractors I have ever encountered. There are sphereical chairs as you enter to your right so you can perform your prescribed exercies. The floor is padded so you could your seated movements and lay down on the back benders . Pictures of Yogis and and various visions of the body along with inspirational messages line the walls.I described to you the atmosphere of the office to illustrate fully how the space is fully set up for your healing and to have you be a willing participant in your process, which to me is very important.Dr. Mike is one of the most intuitive, skilled and caring doctors youll ever encounter all wrapped in a genuinely loving heart.This place literally helped me walk pain- free.

I had a limited range of motion in my back and upper arm for several months after a gym injury. Doctor Mike Isseks evaluated and customized a recovery plan for me. Amazingly, after a few weeks of in-office intense chiropractic sessions, I felt relief and no more pain in my back and upper arm. He realigned my spine, which alleviated pressure in my lower back. Im happy to report that I now have a full range of motion. It is without any reservations that I highly recommend Doctor Mike Isseks. His dedication to his craft and skills are of the highest quality. His office Team of Brie and Shannon are always very hospitable and professional.

My name in real life is Laura Wilde. I’ve been going to Dr. Mike for about a year. Dr. Mike and the entire crew at The Life Center are experts, professionals and some of the most knowledgeable wellness-activating practitioners I know.And I have before and after xrays (Don’t worry - low radiation) as proof of the profound healing that took place. And I am a healing practitioner myself so Im extremely particular about who lays their eyes and hands on me.The front desk staff is amazing, friendly, and fun. I went in after a car accident. I was waking up in severe pain and had to lie there wondering if the pain was too much to go to work. I had to quit my workouts and couldn’t sit or stand longer than ten minutes without great discomfort.I figured I had to live with the pain for a year or two as it seems people do all the time after car accidents.Nope!They even worked directly with my insurance. What a blessing. No stress. Feel better.Now I go for maintenance visits because I feel so great after my adjustments.I am back to yoga and Pilates and bike riding. Yahoo!

I met Dr. Mike at F45 Culver City where I got a free consultation. Dr. Mike is amazing, I had some lower back issues in the past years. He helped me improve my physical activities level and my fitness journey. He is very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. After weeks of visits, my body feels completely different, feels like a new man now!

I dont even know where to begin... I had been going for chiropractic care at another clinic and initially my back was better but then shortly after it just seemed like things werent improving. My back still felt really sore on a day to day basis and some days it would be really painful. Luckily one day I came across this AMAZING CLINIC AND NOT TO MENTION AMAZING STAFF!!! There were three doctors to choose from and that my friends was a very hard decision because knowing them all now you cant go wrong with any one of them, but Dr. Mike was the lucky winner. Dr. Mike has seriously changed my life. When I first started at The Life Center Chiropractic, I was very skeptical since I had been seeing another Doctor for 3 years and things werent improving like I had hoped. On my first visit Dr. Mike examined me. My X-rays were incredibly disappointing, I remember hearing that my spine was curved to the left and many of my disks werent moving like they were suppose to. I told Dr. Mike youre my last and only hope and well ... I am happy I took a chance with him. We recently went over my current X-Rays and things are NOW moving like they are suppose to! Many things that werent working before are working now! If you are thinking about seeing a chiropractor I highly recommend this CLINIC!

I am a 47 year-old male and live a pretty active lifestyle. Injuries from lifting, Spartan racing, and skateboarding - as well as slouching in my office chair for years - have taken their toll on my body. I experienced occasional back pain and had difficulty running long distances because my lower joints would ache. I rarely used my stand-up desk at work because it also hurt my hips, knees and feet.In the past I’ve only used chiropractors sparingly when I experienced pain instead of for ongoing treatment. But when I met Dr. Mike, I agreed to a check up with x-rays and a mobility test, and discovered I had spinal degeneration and misalignment.I reluctantly signed up for 3 months of care 3 x a week, and 3 months later I can say I feel like a new man. My mobility has greatly increased, my spine has shifted toward normal, and my back pain is virtually gone. Running is even easier now. I got a balance ball chair at work, but I hardly use it because I can stand all day. I feel like my body parts are finally working in unison instead of being out of whack.I’m going once a week now for ongoing maintenance. Everyone there is super helpful and friendly, there’s plenty of parking, and the office has a realizing zen vibe that instantly puts you at ease. They combine adjustments with simple stretches and exercises designed to keep you flexible and mobile.I could keep writing, but check it out for yourself if you have any back issues. These guys are the best and they will help you.

Great experience and very knowledgeable staff. I have been coming here for some time. Dr. Mike and Dr. Brooks are up to date and mindful practitioners who deal with their patients with care. They have always been professional and take the time to listen to the individual. Really great practice. If you’re looking to start, I highly recommend checking them out!!

11/10 Would recommend to anyone with a spine! Dr. Brook and his staff run a warm and welcoming clinic. The doctors are knowledgeable, quick and precise. The Life Center took the time to work with me and educate me about health and wellness along with the many benefits of chiropractic. I felt cared for as an individual rather then just another number. In my life I have seen many chiropractic clinics and the Life Center stands head and shoulders above the rest.Has lots of parking.

Being a stubborn male, I’ve always resisted seeing any sort of medical professional, but I had reached my mid-thirties and was “throwing my back out” more often. After never visiting a chiropractor in my life, I thought I should give it a try. The initial x-rays showed my spine had a very limited range of motion and two discs were touching, causing permanent damage. If I hadn’t received treatment from Dr. Mike (the most caring and gentle professional I’ve experienced in any field) I would have had some serious issues later in life. I am now completely pain free, restored my spine to over 100% healthy range of motion, and for the first time in my life am fully committed to self care. Even my knee pain that I assumed was from skateboarding injuries earlier in life went away after my body started operating in alignment for the first time in years. The time invested at this office was well worth it and often the highlight of my day. The vibe is like one part office, one part meditation studio with the relaxing atmosphere. If you’re someone who has issues focusing or are carrying a lot of stress, get yourself adjusted first thing in the morning and it will start your day off on the right foot.

LIFE CHANGING! Ive spent the last few months seeing Dr. Mike due to ongoing lower back pain that was really hindering my lifestyle. Through the process Dr. Mike not only adjusted my back but also taught me stretches and other movements to improve my flexibility, range of motion, etc. My back is feeling drastically better these days. Also, after mentioning a lingering knee injury he was also able to adjust my knee each visit until my knee was feeling brand new. I definitely recommend The Life Center if you have back pain or just want to feel more healthy and limber. The other doctors and staff are incredibly nice and welcoming. Check em out!

Have you ever been faced with the thought of never walking again? Ever been forced to choose between living in agonizing pain or having a surgery which could potentially leave you paralyzed?Just saying those choices are “scary” is an understatement... they’re downright terrifying.You see, I was in a rock climbing accident. I slipped and fell thirty feet straight down onto one leg. Now...I was lucky in that I didn’t bust my knees, shatter an ankle, or land on my head. I’ll give you that. But I did totally compact my spine and left side which pinched nerves in my lumbar/sacral area.I was confined to laying on the floor of my living room for 90+ days before I could really move enough to go to the bathroom by myself. No work, no life, no health, just tv from living room floor. My girlfriend became my live in nurse. Feeding me, sponge bathing me, and cleaning up bedpans. All the while my “doctor” prescribing pain pills like they were tic-tacs.The choices given to me by my HMO doc were eitherA) live in pain for the rest of my life managed by opioids, orB) have surgery to try and fix my nerves and spine. One catch though...I’d have to risk paralysisI only share this for context...because after 5 months of pain...I was desperate for anything to give me some relief.While discussing pros and cons of surgery with my lady, she recommended I at least hear what a chiropractor had to say before going under the knife.After all, they are spine specialists, right? So, I figured what could it hurt? Figured it was best to have all the cards on the table when making my decision.So...I went to see Dr Mike.Now...never having been to see a chiropractor before...I had NO IDEA what to expect. And I was a little apprehensive. (I was raised up under western medicine where there’s a pill or surgery for every ailment. Hahaha)Little did I know, this decision would forever change my view on medicine and my way of life.I was blown away by Dr. Mike.He’s very professional. And, I could tell from our first meeting that he’s not only very intelligent, but also very passionate about his craft, and the connection between body and mind.Dr. Mike took the time to go through my past health history, my present situation, and discuss with me a plan to get me to my “ideal” future. In 2 sessions he knew more about me than my general practitioner of 20 years. The plan he put together was more like a “life plan” - not just a “care” plan.Anyways, we discussed the plan, he answered all 1000 of my questions, and he made sure I was comfortable and on board before we proceeded with his recommendations.In addition to the spinal adjustments he made sure I continued to move daily as well as taught me how my spine is designed to move. I had accumulated a lot as a result of being rough on my body over 30 years. He taught me a daily movement routine, gave some diet change suggestions, and off we went down the care path.Hands down the best decision I have ever made.In just a few months (and by doing the stretching and changes to my diet) I am basically pain free and mobile again!! To think that three weeks earlier I was contemplating risking surgery is mind boggling to me!Walking, running and even rock climbing again all pain free. My GP couldn’t believe the turn around.And, on top of correcting the spinal injury, I no longer have sinus issues or migraines, and I sleep way better than even before the accident.Anyways, if it sounds like I’m like his cheerleader or something, I am. You will be too. I promise. This man single-handedly (well, I guess with both his hands and a table) not only returned, but actually increased, my quality of life.If you’re at all curious about the benefits of chiropractic care, or you already see a chiropractor but are thinking of changing it up, GO SEE Dr Mike!YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF.

Over the years I’ve seen Dr. Mike Isseks for a neck issue that I had been dealing with since I was a kid. His analysis was thorough and his adjustments have been both specific and helpful in resolving this issue. Now, whenever I’m in town I’m seen for maintenance care since my problem has been corrected. Very happy with the level of service at The Life Center Chiropractic!

I came in with neck spasms and very little mobility in my neck and hips. I also had a sports injury that threw my body mechanics off significantly. Dr. Isseks put me on a steady program of adjustments and exercises, and the results were just short of life changing. I can turn my neck more than 75% further, no spasms, and I’m balanced and flexible like I haven’t been since my 20’s. Extremely grateful.

Extremely personable & educational in the service I received! A Long time rugby player the team worked hard on realigning my misalignments as well as teaching me various exercises,stretches and recommending supplements that would accelerate my recovery.Following my engagement with the center I no longer have any pains or aches in my back, as well as vastly improved flexibility in all my neck & spine movements.Would definitely recommend!

Review №34

I was suffering from terrible sciatica pain down my leg to the point it affected my sleep, my work, even leisure time. I ended up limping a lot. My MRI revealed I had bulging discs in the lower back. I tried everything from Physical therapy, pain meds - nothing helped. I finally met Dr Isseks at a Farmers market and although I was terrified about my preconceived notions of the pain associated with chiropractics I took a leap of faith (FYI it wasnt painful at all!!). Dr Isseks was very accommodating and helped me understand my issues. He provided a comprehensive plan that would help me manage my pain. He also helped me understand that the process would not be painful.Within a month of the treatment I was literally pain free, I stopped limping, I was sleeping... it was fantastic- so thankful to Dr Isseks who also takes the time to answer my many many questions.The staff is also wonderful and super friendly. The vibe of the place is very calm and peaceful which is such a great way to kick off the day.I still go there for weekly adjustments (another thing I appreciate is that they dont force suggestions on you) - My goal is to be able to start working out again and Dr Isseks has been extremely supportive of that throughout!

I love the Life Center Chiropractic! This place is a sanctuary. I remember when I first met Dr. Mike, he was promoting his services, and I didnt even know I needed any chiropractic care. He gave an assessment and showed me where I was probably subluxated and offered a great deal to come into the center and get everything checked out. I found out I was subluxated in multiple areas and my spine was so far out of alignment I was surprised I was even functioning! I signed up for a months-long treatment plan and after a few months everything is working great and I feel 10x better than I did before Life Center Chiropractic! Jeremy, Mike, and Kristyn are fantastic at their craft, they are all very personable, and the ambience in the center is like no other chiropractic or holistic health center Ive ever been to. Its fun to go to the Life Center! The movement exercises are unique and effective and its obvious a lot of passion and love has been put into this business. Everyone here at the Life Center does a wonderful job at their healing art! Im so thankful!

Dr. Mike is a miracle worker. About 4 years ago, I tore my ACL and had to get it reconstructed, and ever since then I havent been able to get over the imbalance in my legs, which then spread itself to my hips and my back and then my shoulder. I developed neurosis about the unevenness of my body, even when I was doing something as simple as sitting or standing. I tried physical therapy, yoga, adjusted my weightlifting, and everything did not work. Years later, I was still functioning at maybe 50% of what I was pre-ACL surgery.I ran into Dr. Mike by chance at a farmers market near my apartment and decided to take a shot, as my girlfriend had some success with chiropractors in the past. I was skeptical at first, but after working with Dr. Mike over the course of 4 months, he was able to get rid of the big issue which was that my spine was started to get crooked due to an over-reliance on my good knee and thus the good side of my hips. After that, the rest of my body started to realign accordingly. Now I would say Im functioning at about 80%, which was a huge huge improvement that I was not expecting at all, way above my expectations.Dont get me wrong, youll still have to be diligent about doing the exercises that Dr. Mike suggests you do on a regular basis. But I followed his instructions to a tee and was consistent about keeping to my schedule, and the results speak for themselves. I would also say that although this place isnt cheap, its also not expensive and its well worth the money. Health is invaluable in my opinion. Do yourself a favor if youve had any sort of lingering issues with your knee or back like I did, and see if this works for you. I highly recommend Dr. Mike and the rest of the staff at the Life Center are so friendly and helpful, theyre a great group of people.
