More than 1.5 billion people suffer from chronic pain worldwide. In the US, it impacts about 100 million adults, which is more than the number impacted by diabetes, heart disease, and cancer combined. It can be a challenging condition to treat because while some chronic pain is associated with an injury or disease, in other cases there is no initial event (such as a back injury, infection, arthritis, or cancer) that caused the pain.

In some cases, pain may continue for weeks, months, or years without any clear cause. What's unfortunate for most people is that their chronic pain could be relieved. They just don't know where to turn for help as most physicians have no clue when it comes to identifying and safely treating it. Our Torrance chiropractor may be able to help your chronic pain.
Services
Unsure about choosing our Torrance chiropractor? Here are the 7 things to ask your next chiropractor or pain-relief specialist before you choose them to solve your problem. We know there are a lot of great doctors in the world that can service your health needs, the only advice we would give you in your quest to solve your nagging pain or health issue is to make sure the next doctor you choose can answer 'Yes' to the following questions.
We are in the network to fully support your insurance service needs covered by ILWU without costs to you. When I first opened my office in the South End Racquet and Fitness Club back in 1997 we were an all cash practice, accepting no insurance patients.

The main reason why I did not take insurance back then was because I didn't know how to bill it out and I did not want to deal with all the paperwork involved with treating insurance patients as it took away from me focusing on patient care.He did not take that response for an answer and asked if I would make an exception to my policy.
Neuro Emotional Work is a combination of accessing the Neurological (Nervous) System while addressing the Emotional component of health at the same time. Emotional Stress in Torrance has a negative impact on the Neurological System, creating a harmful physiological response in the body.

Negative Thoughts and Emotions have a DIRECT effect on the body by activating the sympathetic nervous system to cause vasoconstriction of blood vessels, changes in neuronal chemistry, as well as a neurological, vascular, and muscular imbalance.The greater the negative thought or emotion, the greater intensity of the Neurological response that affects the body in a harmful way.
Cranial Facial Release (CFR) is an advanced endo-nasal "balloon assisted" cranial adjusting technique that has been used quite successfully in the treatment of various neurological and structural disorders. It is a specialized technique that was derived from an earlier form of endo-nasal cranial adjusting called Bilateral Nasal Specific (BNS) pioneered by chiropractor Richard Stober in the 1960's and 70's.
Class IV Laser therapy is a non-invasive technique used to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation and accelerate recovery from a wide range of acute and chronic clinical conditions. This pain relief treatment is FDA cleared and enables patients to have an alternative to drugs and surgery. Class IV Laser therapy treatments at Taylor Chiropractic & Laser Center last between 5 and 10 minutes depending on the condition being treated.

I have been to Doc Taylor I think four times now and every time I leave I leave feeling a lot better than when I walked in. I have chronic pain in my back and neck from my time in the military, and I also just had shoulder surgery done recently. Going to this professional is simple and easy. I call, and the ladies at the front desk who answer are professional and able to answer my questions and get me an appointment when I prefer. On the days leading up to the appointment, they'll send me a text reminding me of my upcoming appointment. When I get there, it's all smiles and "Good

Doc Hudson is extremely detailed towards my wrist injury, and solutions for it.

He is able to to not treat the symptoms but the root causes as well, which makes the healing process more complete and permanent.

The process takes longer, but definitely worth it!

This is a review of Doc Hudson's character & integrity. Doc Hudson genuinely cares for his patients. I've know Doc Hudson for 15+ years, and I know he is devoted to excellence in his practice. He gets real joy out of helping people. He examines carefully and considers the holistic health of the patient. The office is welcoming and peaceful.

Dr. Taylor, and the entire staff, is so welcoming and very kind.

I had been having some neck and back issues and though I was in need of a simple adjustment. However, on the day of my appointment, Dr. Taylor was bombarded with clients and my appointment had me waiting... but in the midst of him trying to get to every person, he had one of the other staff members put me on the hydro bed. AT NO CHARGE! When I was finished in the hydro bed, he had me go into the exam room, and took the time to restate my concerns about my overall health and wellness. Asked about diet, and what I'd like to

I was in a car accident a few weeks ago, a friend referred me to Taylor Chiropractic, and I just want to say that Dr. Taylor and his staff are top notch! There was immediate relief after the first two visits. But the reason for this review is that a week ago, Dr. Taylor used his magic Shockwave Therapy machine on my very achy hips. The treatment was intense, but there was 99.9% less pain immediately post treatment. I drove home in comfort! However, I wanted to wait until today to see what my pain level would be and I am delighted to report that the treatment brought me back to pre-accident

Went in to Taylor Chiropractic with moderate to severe hip/low back pain. Within one examination and treatment I was relatively pain free. Dr. Taylor puts a plan together for you and your rehab but does not pressure one into making a rash decision. He values patients and their well-being wholeheartedly. If you're dealing with body pain make it a point to consider Taylor Chiropractic. PLUS extremely friendly staff.

Taylor Chiropractic & Laser Center came HIGHLY recommended to me by a huge group of athletes. I lead a very active life but experienced a very new & rare discomfort & decided to look into adjustments/cupping. The pain had completely subsided prior to my appt but I believe in preventative care and maintenance. Dr. Taylor's staff is incredible & extremely welcoming. Dr. Taylor was very attentive and I was both adjusted and got cupping therapy. I also tried the hydrotherapy massage! I left feeling relief/release and cannot wait to return for a full tune up. Safe, clean, welcoming

Derek Taylor has been a very unique experience compared to other chiropractors I've been to, from his very thorough explanation to what he's doing, to his modern equipment, I've had a bad shoulder since a car accident. His 2 sessions have been more helpful than the thousands of dollars I've spent on chiropractors simple massaging me. Worth every single dollar spent, and I know my arm/shoulder is worth than any dollar amount. Wish nothing but the best for Derek and his wonderful family.

Dr. Taylor and his son have both treated me and each time I leave feeling as though I've received the Cadillac treatment. At 49, my body's been through Triathlons, car accidents, whiplashes, emotional trauma, sports related aches and pains and mostly, copious amounts of stress, which is starting to show itself in my body in odd ways. What I thought was TMJ turned out to be emotional stress, which they cured in only 2 visits! I had jolts of pain in my jaw, and it's now completely gone. My lower back hurts from whiplash, legs and hips from running and back and neck from emotional

Met with Doc Hudson Taylor. He was genuinely nice, professional and I was blown away by how thorough his assessment and treatment process were. Walked in with several areas of discomfort (chest, neck, and back) and walked out feeling major relief and an optimistic view of the future. Getting rid of pain and tension that builds up over the weeks, months, and years takes time and plenty of time and attention is exactly what you'll get if you visit Taylor chiropractic. Thanks Doc!

I was a new patient and I was treated like family. Everyone in the off is professional, caring and were very concerned for my health. Highly recommended!
I think I originally typed a 3 star review by accident, but I corrected it because this is a wonderful office with a very caring staff.

In addition to saving my life a decade ago when I had cancer, Dr. Taylor continues to keep me out of chronic pain and migraines. I live out of the area now. because he practices what he preaches,he was the only chiropractor I trusted that was open during quarantine....so I traveled several hours to benefit from his services once again...Worth every gold coin!

Met Dr. Taylor earlier this week at a networking meeting and he overheard me mentioning I had hip pain. He offered to evaluate the situation for me and to find the root cause. In a short time, he alleviated the pain and recommended a long-term treatment plan to address all my issues. I highly recommend Dr. Taylor and his team.

Dr Taylor is definitely a 5 star Chiropractor. He is the most honest and caring person you will ever meet. If he can't help you he will tell you. You can tell he really cares about his patients. I would highly recommend anyone that was having any
Kind of pain to see him, before doing anything drastic.

Let's talk about it!! The best Chiropractor in the South Bay.

I came in cause my right shoulder was frozen and during my exam I informed them that I was not sleeping well also. Going to bed at 10pm waking up at 1230am and cleaning my house till 5am knowing that I have to get ready for work at 6am.

Well let's talk about my frozen shoulder first and how after my 6 treatments with their class IV Laser has help my right shoulder bring back its range of motion.

They also introduced me to their Neurointegrative Therapy which is suppose to help me with my imbalanced brainwaves. I suffer

There once was a man who sought Truth, and so he traveled around the world, speaking to every wise man he could find, all of whom failed to offer what he desired.

After many years, he found a cave with the word "Truth" carved above its entrance. Inside the cave, he found five wise men, and each of the men lived in separate tents, with the same mark at the entrance of each: "Truth"

"Judge which of us is right," the wise men told him, "and live with whoever you'd like."

He pondered this, examining each tent and each man. Although they all looked quite

Wow, what a racket this place is. Look out for the use of their orthotic scan...It's not even a legit scan but it will tell you that it is "vital"
that you buy orthotics that you don't even need.
