I have been coming here for mostly back pain that I have ignored for many months. I'm so glad I made the right choice by coming here and choosing Dr.Salse as my chiropractor. It's been 2 months and I definitely see an improvement. I always look forward to my therapy sessions. The staff, Sarah and Maggie are always welcoming and friendly. I have recommended Dr. Salse to my family and friends because of how great he is.

I've always had back problems from a very young age so I wanted to find out why I was always having back pain so I decided to visit Salse Chiropractic. The Dr. recommended I get x-rays as he examined my back so that way we could know more about my spine. This helped him and myself understand what my issues were. He takes his time and listens to your concerns and sets a customized plan of what exercises, stretches and therapies I'll need in order to help my pain and spine become healthy again. Unfortunately I was going to school 2 hours away at that time and was unable to commit but I

On Tuesday I woke up with sharp - shooting pain from my left glute, down through my thigh and was extremely worried as I had not felt this pain in nearly seven years. I'm extremely active and enjoy running, and working out 5-6 days a week, so this pain was extremely worrisome. Rather than seeing my regular doctor, I reached out to Salse Chiropractic on Thursday as the pain was getting progressively worse, and thankfully they were able to see me the same day. I was quite impressed with the level of service provided from the moment I walked in. The staff was kind, attentive, and really made

If you are hesitant about chiropractic care or just need a new doctor, this is the office to go to! When you walk in, Maggie at the front desk makes you feel like you are VIP at the party! She is so sweet, friendly and makes you happy to be there, even if you're in pain. What I love about Dr. Salse is that he is informative. Not an appointment has gone by where he didn't share an interesting fact or teach me something new. I appreciate his holistic approach and the fact that he went into chiropractic field after he used it after his own injury. I originally sought him out after an injury

Do yourself a favor and go see Dr. Salse, with the pandemic i started working from home and studying on line , therefore long hours sitting down and stress, neck and back pain pain was inevitable. After the first adjustment pain was almost gone i was able to sleep good again, what a huge relief!
Every one is super nice and professional.

I've been going to Dr Salse since August and it has been amazing. I was initially referred due to a neck and back injury/pain however he went above and beyond! He genuinely cares about his clients well being. He explains every technique/adjustment /exercise and gives you tips to help yourself at home.
Maggie has also been amazing, she is always for friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be going back to Dr Salse for some maintenance.
This has been by far the best chiropractic experience I've had!

This is a difficult review for me to write because I'm worried I won't be able to do this establishment justice with words alone...but I'll give it a shot.
Dr. Salse is THE most honest doctor I have ever had the pleasure of crossing paths with. He will not bs you and offer you a miracle solution; for most of us you will have to put in the work to make a long term positive impact in your treatment and he will hold you to it. His goal is to get you better long term so you no longer require his services to sustain your treatment.
My experiences here is a testament to this: I dealt

Usually I do not do reviews but I had to share my story. I went to see Dr Selse because I injured my back and could not walk. I called a few places but Maggie's friendly voice lured me in. The first appointment Dr Selse worked his magic with an amazing adjustment I was able to walk out of there like a normal person. I was amazed. By my second appointment I was able to function normally. Hands down to Dr Selse and his staff. Honest and caring. Simply amazing.

Dr Salse is one of the best. He is very thorough and spends his time researching your issues and explaining whats going on with your body.
I came in with 2 areas in terrible pain due to degenerative disc disease in the neck and my lower back.
I was barely able to walk upright and i was also feeling numbness in my arms being barely able to grip with my left arm due to the neck pain.
You can tell when he feels along ur back hes quickly able to identify trouble areas and using various techniques relieve so much tension, pressure and pain from the area.
He was able to fix me right up in as

I have had work performed on me by many professionals. From kinisiologists to chiropractors to massage therapists, loads of holistic professionals and other MDs (I have 2 bulged discs among other things). Very few have helped me, but they have agreed that I am a unique case. When I met Salse he said he thought he could help, and that I would be a challenge. Honest man, and that's what you want in your corner, so I rolled the dice. Glad I did. Solid skills, and worth a shot. My hope is he is able to alleviate your pain, or fix you altogether. For a guy like me that has only known constant

I came to Dr. Salse with stiff neck, shoulder, pain on lower back & painful bunions about a month ago. After the adjustments, I feel the pain in my lower back has tremendously increased. My neck and shoulder are less stiff. My bunion doesn't bother me after wearing the orthotics. I also slept better. The staff, Maggie & Janine were very friendly. I definitely recommend

Dr. Salse is one of the nicest caring people I have ever met. I am 58 and had never been to a Chiropractor. I had some lower back pain that was really affecting my golf game and I wondered what it would be like to get an adjustment. After talking with Dr. Salse and getting adjusted, I decided to get a package of 10 visits to see if it helped. It really did help. I now visit Dr. Salse once or twice a month for a tune up. It has also made the beautiful game of golf much more enjoyable for me! Thank you Dr. Salse!

I have a lower back injury that causes constant dull pain and random sharp pains whenever I have bad form. I've gone to a chiropractor before who tried to help, but after about 2 months, I stopped going to him for treatment.
I've gone to Dr. Salse for several adjustments already and I love it! I'm definitely not as consistent as I should be, so my progress can be even better. It feels so good after being adjusted. For the past few weeks, I've been waking up with knots but they're gone now. They typically put you on the roller table before the doctor sees you, which I love

Sadly I discovered how bad is the pain related to the sciatic nerve. I was almost disabled to walk. I went to the doctor, twice to the Emergency Room, to Tijuana, with a lady who do massages and she also "prescribed me" with a cup with water, honey, lime juice and 2 alka seltzer before breakfast for 10 days. I got steroids for few days, shots for pain, just named. Any kind of analgesics, I know how 4 ibuprofen 800 feel in my stomach but nothing besides making my stomach upset. Norco twice a day feels like taking tequila, I was "drunk" but the pain was there!!!

If you want to be comfortable and are looking for a place which treats you like family...this is a wonderful place. Especially when you are in pain. The Doctor is truly a one-of-a-kind individual who genuinely cares about your health. The ladies in the office are very helpful, friendly, and always professional. I am very happy to have found such an amazing place which takes on my special case. Love everyone here and all of the help they have given thus far! Thank you!

My family has been seeing Dr. Salse since we moved to Monrovia 8 years ago. We have continued to be impressed with not only his knowledge and treatments but his kindness and warmth as well. I sustained an ankle injury at the start of the year which Kaiser did not correctly diagnose or x-ray. Dr. Salse urged me to go back to Kaiser and request an MRI. Well low and behold they found that I had a torn ligament as well as an interior and exterior sprain which still showed up 7 months later. I was so thankful he pushed me to follow up with my physician! Dr. Salse sees my entire family including

Tl;dr comfortable office atmosphere and great attention to detail, highly recommended
I visited Dr. Salse's office for my neck and shoulder pain and to have a therapeutic massage and it was a fantastic experience. Janine at the front desk was very welcoming to get the visit started, and made sure I was comfortable as I waited.
I was a little nervous for my first time seeing a chiropractor, but Dr. Salse is friendly, empathetic to the pain his patients are in, and takes great strides to ensure they get the care that they need. He explained the root of my problem, taught me exercises to reduce
