Whiplash Treatment in Marina Del Rey, CA: Dr. David Reed specializes in whiplash treatment for taking care of patients after a car accident. One in six car accidents usually results in someone getting whiplash, a potentially chronic and painful condition that can benefit from chiropractic care.
Getting the body back on track after a car accident can be tedious and frustrating. Immediately after an accident, due to adrenaline and other stressors, the body may not be able to feel the full extent of some internal injuries with the spine, i.e. whiplash, tissue damage or a bulging disc, until a few hours later. It is important to seek treatment right away with Dr. Reed at Reed Chiropractic + Wellness Center.
Because the effects of whiplash are often delayed, receiving a full spinal analysis and posture screening after an accident is extremely important. It serves as the initial step to formulating a treatment program. Whether it is neck pain, soreness or burning soft tissue pain, chiropractic care can get the body back to how it used to be post-accident. Dr. Reed will work with you to find an effective course of action.
Whiplash is a unique condition that requires the expertise of a skilled health professional specially trained to work with these types of injuries. The most effective treatment for whiplash injuries is a combination of chiropractic care, rehabilitation of the soft tissues and taking care of yourself at home.
Here are some of the modalities that Dr. David Reed utilizes when treating whiplash injuries to patients:
Spinal Decompression, or IDD (Internal Disc Decompression) Therapy® is a proven treatment for the relief of lower back pain. With an up to 86% success rate, thousands of patients have experienced dramatic pain relief and healing.
Chiropractic adjustments provide effective pain relief from a wide variety of conditions. Dr. David Reed specializes in providing gentle, safe and effective chiropractic care to patients of all ages. Spinal adjustments correct the alignment, motion and function of the vertebral joint.
Therapeutic Exercise Rehabilitation can help to alleviate pain by improving your muscle strength and flexibility. Weak muscles can often lead to a misshapen skeletal structure and dramatically increase the risk of injury or the worsening your condition.
Electric muscle stimulation is a physical rehabilitation therapy modality that is used to stimulate muscle contractions using electrodes hooked up to an electric stimulation machine at our facility. These contractions help to control pain, manage inflammation and strengthen the muscle.
Ultrasound therapy helps to reduce muscle pain and movement dysfunction. Sound waves deliver deep heat to the areas of the body that need treatment. As a result of the sound waves, the patient benefits from reduced stiffness, swelling and pin. Increased circulation and the promotion of pain free movement are positive effects of using ultrasound therapy.
Arthostim Therapy, also referred to as controlled force spinal adjusting, employs a specific approach using only as much energy as is needed to facilitate a response. This is achieved with an FDA approved instrument called the Arthrostim™.
Reed Chiropractic + Wellness Center works with many types of insurance. Our office can counsel you on how to file a personal injury claim.
Personal injury protection (PIP) coverage is mandatory for nearly all auto insurance policies. With PIP coverage in place, you and all the passengers in the car are insured regardless of whose is at fault for an accident (typically up to $15,000). It also covers you if you are a pedestrian or a cyclist. PIP insurance covers medical expenses and lost wages and will pay for your care of injuries, including costs and co-pays for chiropractic care, out-of-pocket prescription costs, or other similar costs.
My experience at Dr. Reed’s has been nothing but amazing!
I have been treated by him for the past three years.
I have been in pain a few times when he’s helped me out with one adjustment every single time.
I would highly recommend it to anyone 🙂

I had severe lower back pain and leg pain. After a few visits with David he was able to get me back up and running. I have used other chiropractors in the area and they do not either know what to adjust or don’t have the strength to adjust you correctly. However, David is able to do both. His new facility is fully equipped for all types of therapy and parking is so easy.

Dr. Reed is LEGIT!
Really knowledgeable about his practice (as we all would hope). Super nice guy, too. Came to him a few times for a workout injury that brought a lot of pain to my upper back that occurs only when I bend my neck to the right…weird. BUT…he was like, “I know what’s up!” (not at all what he said) and did a few weird cracks to my neck and back, and boom…now the pain is practically gone. Only thing that sucks is that I live in Hollywood and he’s in Marina Del Rey. Totally worth my drive, though.
Moral of the story is that he’s definitely the guy to pop your spine back into place and to ease that spinal pain of yours.

Say goodbye to pain…Dr. Reed is the best! I’ve had a lot of chiropractors in the past but Dr. Reed is by far the greatest.

As a former martial arts and yoga instructor, I’ve had a ton of body work done over the years–and I can say that Dr. Reed is a true healer. I have a very large (1.1 cm) disc bulge and other problems with my alignment which have debilitated me for over a year, but Dr. Reed completely turned my situation around. I felt significant relief from months of pain after just the first session, and over a few months of treatment, I went from not being able to arch my back at all to being able to do full cobras again. All the flexibility I had lost came back. And I went from feeling like I could strain my back with the slightest wrong move to being able to do pretty extreme workouts again.
One example of how caring and proficient Dr Reed is: After a treatment for my back, I told him that something had gone wrong with my foot, resulting in pain while walking. Within 5 minutes, he did some magic that solved the problem on the spot. He has that ability to feel around and know what’s precisely what’s wrong with any skeletal-muscular issue.
He’s also pretty much as nice as people come, and will answer questions thoroughly and patiently. I highly recommend.

I’ve recently started seeing Dr. Reed and I must say he is the best chiropractor I’ve ever been to. It’s hard comparing him to other chiropractors because he does so much manual therapy and good quality soft tissue work that my entire experience here is far removed from other Chiro encounters.
I should mention that I’m a seasoned body worker (massage therapist) of 10 years and I’m very particular about my tissue work. Dr Reed gets right to business on addressing my problem areas and he does so skillfully. Could not be happier

I had a reoccurrence of my ruptured disc and couldn’t walk or get out of bed hardly. I’m active athlete and work out 4-6 days a week. Dr. Reed properly diagnosed the disc issue and got the alignment back closer to where it needs to be after ONE Visit! With no Pain or discomfort! I’m a believer in chiropractic treatments again! An amazing facility, service and the nicest people you could imagine in their office! I’ll be going on a regular basis now to prevent this injury from happening again!
Thanks a million.
