Unlike conventional medicine, which focuses on attempting to treat disease once it occurs, Handy Wellness Center emphasizes improving your health in an effort to reduce the risk of pain and illness in the first place. Most people would rather be healthy and avoid illness, if they could. This is one of the main reasons for the big surge in the popularity of our wellness center.
We understand that arriving at a doctors office for the first time can be nerve racking. Filling out paperwork, learning new faces and names, and getting to know your way around the office can be an overwhelming experience. That's why at Handy Wellness Center our aim is to remove any stressor causing unnessesary tension and to make you feel comfortable.
Dr. James Handy is a licensed Chiropractor serving the Southern California community since 1993. He graduated in 1981 from Calabasas HS and completed undergraduate studies at Chico State, where he was active in snow ski racing and triathlons. After completing his BS in Human Biology, James Handy graduated from Los Angeles College of Chiropractic as a Doctor of Chiropractic in 1990.
BrainTap, also known as Mind-Fit, is an exciting new technology we have implemented here at Handy Wellness. BrainTap is a mind-based wellness system for use at-home, or for single session use in our clinic. Balancing brain waves, it stimulates healthy brain chemistry for optimal focus, healing and accelerated learning.
Ultrasound alone creates small sound waves that in effect vibrate and massage soft tissues and muscle. Combined with Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) it helps reduce swelling, muscle spasm and release trigger points that may have the muscle locked up. It also causes the body to release natural pain killers.

Dr. Handy solved in a couple of visits the chronic pain I had been enduring for years --despite seeking help from multiple doctors and chiropractors. I cannot describe with words how very grateful I am for his expert and kind service. He has an extraordinary ability to "feel" problems and treat them.
Now, about the logistics:
- there is ample free parking on the adjacent parking lot
- the new office space is modern and spacious
- he has the latest technology and *knows* how and when to use it (or stop using it)
- the staff personnel is helpful and friendly
- booking a specific appointment

Dr. Handy is much more than a chiropractor he also uses nutrition, exercise and lifestyle advice to keep you pain free. He is thorough, knowledgeable, has converted me from skeptic to his biggest fan. I visited December 2017 with a herniated disk, i went from surgery candidate at Hoag Hospital who couldn't walk, stand, sit, eat or sleep living one pain pill to the next to pain free and off pain meds in 3 days of consecutive visits to his office.

Awesome Chiropractor! Thorough and technical. As an out of town athlete and a bigger guy, I was very lucky to get an appointment with Dr Handy and he did an amazing therapy session!
Update:
Came back today for another appointment. I wish I could see Dr. Handy more frequently. His general approach and thorough application of chiropractic care leaves me in better health every time. I'm sure I'd be 100% if I could finish my therapy here.

Best Chiropractor in Orange County. No more headaches, no more pain and I can dance again.
I use to have daily headaches from an old whiplash injury. I've been to many different chiropractors and physical therapists over the years and none of them could get my neck into alignment and keep it there.
After noticing that I was having trouble walking from a recent knee injury, a good friend recommended Dr. Handy. He is kind, listens to your needs and zeros in on how to treat your problems. He uses gentle manipulation, massage, laser (no, it doesn't hurt) and ultra sound to ease your pain and swelling
