Commonly Asked Questions

Should I use heat or ice?

dreamstime_13216083.jpg The general rule on the heat/ice question is that Ice is usually recommended for acute conditions to help reduce pain and inflammation. Therefore, if it is a new injury or particularly painful injury, Ice is generally advised. Heat is suggested when you have chronic muscle tightness to help reduce muscle spasm, and to help stimulate healing. A barrier between your skin and the Ice or Heat should ALWAYS be used to protect your skin from injury. Both treatments should be done in 10-15 intervals. Ice should never be applied directly to the skin or for longer than 20 minutes.

X-rays are only ordered when clinically necessary and are not performed at our Studio City office. If it is determined to be necessary, we will review our list of imaging centers and refer you to the one that is most convenient for you.

 


Is Acupuncture beneficial when under chiropractic care?

acu_crop.jpg Acupuncture can be very beneficial, and complimentary to the care you are already receiving from your chiropractor. Like Chiropractic, it is also considered a holistic practice in that it aims to help the body heal itself rather than mask or medicate symptoms. If medically appropriate, acupuncture can be recommended as a drug free pain management alternative, or to simply encourage a healthier immune, digestive and nervous system.

Testimonials

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "Excellent work ethic and bed-side manner. He's not the type to give you heat/stim/roller bed and call it a day. Dr. Chris will really get in there and try to give you immediate relief. His ART techniques in particular are very effective. I highly recommend giving him a try for upper or lower back problems"

  • "Dr. Chris Tosh is by far the best chiropractor I've seen. I've been to doctors with injuries from running and playing basketball and those doctors would just tell me to stop and give up on those activity without even trying to find a cure or help me out with my injury. Dr. Chris works with you with great care, patience and provide detailed information on the cause and the problem. His A.R.T. (Active Release Therapy) technical works well on many treatments from psoas issues to joint problems. He can also find any imbalance in your body that may have caused issues before running into injuries. This guy is the man to go to for sports related injury. Don't give up on what you're passionate about. Make an appointment and see what he can do for you. - Highly recommended."
