Mike Ludovico, Kyle Taketa, Ben Rosenstein, and Tony Cresci are chiropractors at Westside Chiropractic in San Mateo, California. We provide highly effective chiropractic care. We accept patients by appointment or walk in. Chiropractic care for infants and children is very safe. A comprehensive physical exam and health history will be taken for your infant/child before care begins.
Following the exam and history, the doctor will be able to begin treatment. Chiropractic adjustments for infants and children involve very little force and are often as gentle as just applying slight pressure to the areas of the spine needing to be fixed. A couple of other things about Dr. Mike-he's different from other chiropractors I've seen in that he does some muscle relaxation work along with the adjustment of your bones.

Services
If you are experiencing neck or back pain from pregnancy, chiropractic can help relieve these as well as other common physical ailments that may be resulting from this time of great stress and strain on a woman's body. Additionally, we have had many cases of shortened labor and delivery times as well as less strenuous deliveries for the mother and child, with women who received regular prenatal chiropractic adjustments.
You can expect your first visit to the office to last 30-45 minutes. During your first office visit, you will receive a complete chiropractic examination that includes a health history, physical exam, and range of motion testing followed by the specific chiropractic adjustments. We will also explain our findings and inform you of what our care plan is for you moving forward.
How many visits will it take to help me and why do I have to go so frequently? It is important to remember that spinal adjustments, as well as your health are ongoing processes. The length of your care plan and number of times you will need to be seen are based on the specific nature and history of your condition.
I found Westside through Yelp reviews. I was looking for an excellent chiropractor who could see me immediately -- I had woken up one morning with a painful crick in my neck that made it difficult for me to function in my role as a full-time mom. It turned out that I had called his office on a Thursday, which is the day of the week that they're office his closed.

To be honest before coming here I was very skeptical of chiro since some of the science seems mixed. But after having some hip and back pain related to weight lifting, I was willing to try anything! And Dr Mike fixed it in just a few sessions. Then he started working on this chronic ankle problem I’ve had for something like 7 years (had visited a doctor and physical therapists and the whole shebang), and that slowly began to improve as well. I can now run long distances for the first time in years. Needless to say I am pretty sold on this practice! Everyone at the office is super friendly and

This review is not to bash this business, but rather to inform potential chiropractic patients of the risks involved with this type of treatment. I found this place on yelp last Thursday when my neck was "frozen" and I was desperate for relief. I was able to get in fairly quickly with Dr Kyle Taketa and after a brief chat about my concerns he adjusted my neck, upper back and lower back. I walked out feeling fairly similar to how I walked in and Dr Taketa let me know that if I was still in pain the following day he would squeeze me in which I thought was very kind of him. I rested for

Ladies, if you are expecting and are experiencing any pain whatsoever, I highly recommend routine visits with Dr. Taketa, who specializes in prenatal adjustments. Amazing! I still have another 5 month stretch until the baby is born but I feel comfort in the fact that I can see Dr. Taketa to ease my back pain. Thank you Westside Chiropractic!

Have been seeing Dr. Tony for almost a year now. It started when my lower back pain returned after doing some intensive back exercises. Dr. Tony was able to relieve the pain and would modify his adjustment depending on how my body was reacting that day. My back pain is a lot better thanks to him.
Another bonus of Dr. Tony is that he does wrist adjustment. This is great for mamas! I have wrist pain due to holding my baby (called mommy's wrist). Dr. Tony's adjustment really helps relieve the soreness. Now when I go to adjust my back, I also ask him to do my wrists as well :)

Recently I got a herniated disc in my neck that caused severe pain to go down my arm. Even after multiple doctor visits, specialist appointments, and multiple prescriptions nothing seemed to work. After a couple weeks of unbearable pain I decided to come in to Westside Chiropractic (where I have been coming for a couple years already). After a quick evaluation and adjustment the unbearable pain was now manageable. I could even raise my arm after one visit. Don't get me wrong, I still have a long way to go until I fully recover. However without the adjustments, life would just be miserable

Dr. Tony and the staff at Westside Chiropractic are all super professional and courteous. I started coming here a couple of years ago when I turned 50 and my back self-destructed. Dr. Tony walked me through everything going on with my back as he worked and also gave me stretching exercises to do at home. His care has made a world of difference and I can't recommend Westside Chiropractic enough!

Not a fan of visiting Dr's offices but needless I ended up somewhat broken and needed some help. Dr. Ben was professional, kind and explained in detail what was going on. Two years later my husband and I still see Dr.Ben and it's been a lifesaver. Everyone in the office is wonderful ! Definitely recommend them to anyone. Plus, I get to see Rex and that always makes my day.

I was recommended this place by a long time friend and personal trainer. I was having some serious upper neck and trap pain that led into the mid/upper back as well. Dr. Ben was available for my first visit and I have been going to him consistently since.
He is eager to help, always asks how I am feeling and takes the time to fix the issue at the root cause, not just through an adjustment.
Because this pain/tightness comes in waves, he most recently sent me home with some homework and stretches to do to loosen everything up and I have been feeling amazing since.
All the staff are wonderful

Highly recommend Dr. Ben!!!!! This place came highly recommended from a trainer at my gym. Came here one weekend years ago for an emergency stiff neck/pinch nerve situation. I've since continued to come because I always have a pleasant experience and the staff is amazing plus sometimes their mascot Rex (cute little bulldog) makes a surprise appearance. Anywho Dr. Ben also helped me through a three month back issue I was having when I had abdominal surgery and was bedridden on my back. He gave me home experiences which really helped A LOT! He even took the time to explain and show me pictures

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Kyle Taketa and was adjusted by him. He explained things very thorough and straightforward, which I appreciated. Natalie was amazing too as she gave a phone call to give a heads up about what to expect for my visit. Both are very personable. I was very anxious, but Dr. Kyle made my first adjustment experience comfortable. Thanks so much!!!

I have been receiving chiropractic treatment for a few years already in SF. I found this practice via Yelp when I moved to San Mateo this year and am treated by Tony. Tony was very professional and courteous and explained everything he was doing. He is also very thorough during appointment. He diagnosed my pain points and work with me on at home exercise to help me gain strength at the root cause. It's been more than a month since my first visit and I can't recommend him enough. I highly recommend Tony.

Highly recommend this place and Dr. Ben!!! They make you feel so welcomed from the front staff to the docs. You aren’t just another number/patient to them you are family. When you book with Dr. Ben make sure to comment bring Rex!!! You won’t be disappointed by all the love you will get from that adorable fur baby. You all are so welcome for that tip.
