Services
In recent years more people are going to Doctors of Chiropractic. This is due in large part because of its success in the treatment of various conditions without the use of drugs or surgery. Doctors of Chiropractic specialize in finding the cause of your pain, combing spinal adjustments with proper exercise and stretches to restore and optimize the function of your spine.
Biomechanically, spinal dysfunction begins as an injury or stress that causes local muscular hypertonicity, segmental dysfunction and misalignment. This early stage of pathophysiology is ideally aborted with spinal manipulation. Acupuncture is a form of treatment that involves inserting very thin needles through a person's skin at specific points on the body, to various depths.

This early stage of pathophysiology is ideally aborted with spinal manipulation. The intention of the chiropractic adjustment is to remove any disruptions that may be caused by slight vertebral misalignments that we call subluxations.
Acupuncture is a form of treatment that involves inserting very thin needles through a person's skin at specific points on the body, to various depths. Research suggests that it can help relieve pain, and it is used to treat a wide variety of conditions.

Traditional Chinese saying Cupping therapy is an integral part of the traditional healing arts. Cupping increases blood circulation to targeted areas. The technique involves igniting an alcohol-soaked cotton ball gripped by a hemostat, then holding it inside the opening of the glass cup to heat the air within.

I LOVE THIS PLACE ! Best Chiro ever
I have been from one Dr. to the next and no one helped me the way that Dr.Gregorian did. After years of upper and lower back pain, finally with the therapy Dr. is giving me I am feeling like a new person. She takes time with you and tries to understand your pain to better help you. Oh and the staff so kind and helpful. My experience has been fantastic and I highly recommend to everyone.

Dr. Gregorian is the best!! She had magic fingers that heal. I have been a patient with her for years and she always makes me feel better. She explains her process, what she is doing and your muscles and is very informative. Her office does massage and acupuncture now too!

The absolute best in the business! My entire family and I have gone to Dr. Gregorian throughout the last 5 years and she has helped with back, neck, wrist and knee pain. Front desk staff is extremely helpful and they’ve made making appointments incredibly easy! She has brought in a masseuse and an acupuncturist that are beyond amazing as well. All three of them work together for the best results. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend this office to anyone who has neck pain. I was unable to move my neck due to working at home because of COVID. Dr. Gregorian was able to fix me right back up. She also recommended a massage with Sara who was great. She knew all the right techniques. The office is very clean especially important during covid. They clean the table and supplies after each patient. Overall an amazing office.

I came in to see Dr. Gregorian when I took a spill on a Sunday and knew I was in big trouble. I called on Monday morning and was in to see the doctor at 3pm that day. This is an office of very efficient and fun ladies. There is also an acupuncturist, Melissa, who is spectacular. Both Melissa and Dr. G have patched me up and I'm feeling better than I did before my fall. If you want to feel better and stay feeling great, go to Start Life! ❤

It's been a couple years since Ive been to Melineh's office. I no longer had the accepted insurance but I knew that Melineh had always healed me so I paid out of pocket. I have been suffering with bodily pain for so long as well as severe digestive issues. Before Melineh, I had tried EVERYTHING on my own. NOTHING worked. My family doctor didn't offer much help either.
I felt hopeless. She took a holistic approach and got me on a gut cleanse, implemented acupuncture with Melissa and some deep tissue massage. We also started our session with some much needed chiropractic work. A couple

Doctor takes her time understanding your needs and what your body needs. She is very professional, and I can see my care already improving my day to day life. Her staff is friendly and the office is always clean and neat. Wait time is never an issue, and her staff makes sure you have an appointment ready for your next visit. I would highly recommend you visit Doctor if you are in need of treatment! Check her out!!!

If I could give more stars I would. Dr Gregorian has been helping me with my multitude of problems for about a year and a half now and I can't think of a better person to go to. Her and her assistant Cynthia are so sweet and caring. And recently I tried out the massage therapist that operates with her and my god was that the greatest experience ever. I left there feeling like a whole different person. I can't express how thankful I am to all of them.

This was my first time ever going to a chiropractor and Dr. Gregorian has been great about explaining things and working within my comfort levels. Appointments have always been on time and there's always enough distance between patients so I've never felt unsafe going there during these times. Everything is cleaned in between patients. Overall, I always leave feeling better than when I came in.

I last reviewed start life chiropractic in 2018 and wanted to share a few updates. I have found myself back in Dr. Grigorian's office for shoulder, back, and hip pain.
The office has relocated since I was last seen. It is a newly renovated space with a clean and comfortable waiting area. You never have to wait for very long, Dr. Grigorian is very prompt and takes me in right away.
She is very personable and addresses my target pain spots. One thing that has helped tremendously is that they offer massage therapy in their office. So I alternate between chiro and massages every week and the

I felt very at ease pretty much as soon as i walked in to the office. I've been going for 3+ months now and it was my first time seeing a chiropractor. Dr. Gregorian and her staff are very easy to get along with and very good at what they do. As i mentioned I had never been to a chiropractor before, and on top of that I had major back surgery about 2.5 years ago so I was hesitant to try it out. But i did I'm so glad, because with Dr. Gregorians help my whole body just feels, better. I'm more nimble, and comfortable with my movements; and she takes great care to ensure she doesn&apos

Straight-up: I have not been to a chiropractor since a horrible adjustment experience three years ago. But here's the skinny -- Dr. Melanie is legit and I ain't gonna quit her.

My back was totally f'd -- Pilates hurt, hiking hurt, the pain kept me up at night. I dealt with this ish for two weeks until my Pilates instructor was like, guuurl, you need to get that fixed. And yeah, it's sounds totally bougie to say "my Pilates instructor" but I'd recently moved to California, am self-employed in a sedentary job, and I wanted to do something that got me moving again

So I have always been nervous about chiropractors - and I would definitely be sure that it's the right option for you before trying one. But when my orthopedic suggested one as the best route for treatment to help me, and referred Dr. Gregorian, I gave it a shot.

I have had sporadic neck issues (neck going "out" on occasion) for nearly 20 years, but six or so months ago, the issues became more chronic. After an x-ray and MRI showing no actual damage, my orthopedic referred me to Dr. Gregorian, believing it was related to stress tension.

She confirmed that and began to work with

As a mom of a toddler and an infant, my back pain has been severe for awhile. I've been to 3 other chiropractic offices in Glendale but none of them were able to correctly treat my back.

Dr Gregorian takes her time every week to evaluate my pain and provides effective treatment. I can happily say that with each treatment my back is getting better.

In addition to her having great bedside manner, the staff is very friendly and they alway accommodate scheduling changes.

Thanks Dr. Gregorian!

I cannot say enough about Dr. Melanie Gregorian! And Ani, too! I have had symptoms of frozen shoulder for almost a year and a half and previously did 24 sessions of Physical Therapy to try to get rid of it. Needless to say, it did almost nothing.

After seeing Dr. Gregorian a total of 12 times, I would say I'm about 75% there and I see a total recovery in my future! And I experienced relief and improved flexibility after just one session! I also appreciate she goes beyond just "cracking" the back and neck. As a matter of fact, we don't do that at all! She's even
