Bass Chiropractic

I just completed a three month program at Bass Chiropractic, and in all of my adult life (60), my back has never been in better shape. Lower back strains have plagued me since my late twenties. Each time my back goes into spasm, the result is pain and I’m out of commission for 4 – 5 days. Over the years, I’ve visited several chiropractors, but I have to say, Marissa is the finest, she is a true healer with a big heart and commitment to her patients health and well-​being. Marissa diagnosed my problem and designed a complete program including adjustments, stretching, exercise and relaxation. I am so confident in Marissa’s ability and commitment to my well being that I am maintaining her treatment on a weekly basis. And Chris, Marissa’s office manager, is always a pleasure to deal with, especially with my crazy schedule… always smiling and willing the assist. Hat’s off to Bass Chiropractic.

As a professional athlete, I put my body through more than I know I should. I came to Marissa with lower back problems and shoulder pain and she has used her skills to eliminate all back pain/​aching and my shoulder would be completely healed but I am constantly training/​competing. This is the place to be for all your chiropractic needs athlete or not. I also have a crazy schedule and at Bass Chiropractics they are very flexible to fit me in. Marissa and Chris (front desk) are two of the nicest down to earth people you’ll meet in L.A. Check them out if you’re in L.A.

Dr. Bass is amazing! My husband has been going to see her for a couple years now and has had great improvement in mobility, poster and over all health! I finally decided to join the party and it seems I did at the perfect time as I had the onset of some back issues creeping in.
All of my back pain is gone, I have more energy, better mood, sleep better (the list goes on) Not to mention I’m totally addicted to getting adjusted now, your body and mind just thanks you for it after! Dr. Marissa is incredibly passionate and an expert at what she does!
Shout out to Chris at the front desk for always being so sweet and flexible with scheduling!
Highly recommend Bass Chiropractic!

I am firm believer in two things (1) word of mouth recommendations and (2) relying on 5 star reviews on Unilocal when you don’t have the pleasure to learn about something via #1. So, here’s to hoping I can help those falling into #2. I found Dr. Marissa through a good friend 2 years ago this July. I work at an office job and definitely spend more of the day sitting than standing. I was experiencing lower back pain (that sadly was from a chiropractor over 5 years ago, who was very aggressive with his moves and treatment). Dr. Marissa has helped me tremendously to undo that pain, has gentle, but effective moves that ease my stiffness, taught me tons of useful exercises and even how to use kinesio tape to tape up some sensitive areas on my legs and ankles for when I work out.
She is out of network, so I pray you guys have an PPO health plan or at least an FSA with pre-​tax dollars so you can utilize them for visits with her. I tend to buy packages of visits in accordance with the treatment plan she maps out, pay a few large payments over a few months and then I’m good for about a 9 month period, but again, everyone’s plan and frequency of visits with her will be different. In the beginning, you will see her a lot (a few times/​week) and it will be expensive, but suck it up! Invest in yourself now! Learn what you need to do have a healthy body, so that when you’re a heck of a lot older, you’re the one visiting friends in nursing homes — not the other way around. Do you know how expensive care like that is when you’re older?! Psh, go see Dr. Marissa!

I had a really great experience with Dr. Bass. She answered all my questions with a smile, and gave me very usful professional tips. There are a lot of Doctors out there, but Dr. Bass is a Dr. with a warm soul.
I’m looking forward to continuing my treatments with her.

There really aren’t many places I’ve been to for treatment that handle you with the attention and care that Dr Bass has shown. I called her at a time when I was in immense pain and couldn’t function correctly, being an athlete this was extremely problematic as I rely on having a healthy physical state.
I called when the office was closed around Christmas time and thought I wouldn’t be able to see her for atleast a week. Unexpectedly, Dr Bass made time to see me almost immediately for initial treatment. Here I am 2 months later, performing better than ever in my sport. Thank you Bass Chiropractic for really turning things around for me.
For those of you seeking treatment, my one advice is to be diligent with any exercises that Bass Chiropractic give to you, results will come.

Five stars!!! I highly recommend!
I had some serious lower back issues from deadlifting and working out. Serioulsly, standing up or getting out of bed was a chore. Bass Chiropratic fixed me up and I’m as right as rain. I go here for daily maintenance as well. Dr. Bass is a healer and I am thankful that I have found this place.

Doctor or Healer? Or an amazing mix of both? Dr Bass is not a chiropractor who merely looks at your X-​rays and sees you as a bunch of bones to be adjusted and sent you on your way. She asks questions about nutrition, how your pain affects your daily life and takes a holistic approach to the entire you. She’s not in it for a quick fix but to really diagnose the underlying issue and heal you for good, not so you can keep coming back with a recurring problem. When I started treatment with Dr Bass I couldn’t sit long enough to fill out my paperwork without being in terrible pain. I can now swim 40 laps with ease. A prospect that filled me with dread in the past. And on top of it all… the most fantastic sense of humor and kindness… can’t beat that bedside manner! It’s all about the Dr Bass

Dr. Bass got me from being unable to turn around to being able to train and compete in martial arts competitions in just a few weeks’ time. Everybody there is Great and I always felt like my recovery was of great importance to Dr. Bass as she always managed to make time for me and was very professional. Highly recommended for anyone suffering from spine injuries !

Dr. Bass is amazing. She is super down to earth, knowledgable and extremely passionate about making sure you’re on the right path to wellness. I never been to a chiropractor before and am now thankful to have been referred to Dr. Bass. She takes the time to explain everything in an easy to understand manner. Plus, she loves Ace of Base. Who is a better doctor than Dr. Bass? The answer is no one. Stop reading this review and go see her already! You won’t regret it.

I decided to give Dr. Bass a try after reading her awesome reviews on Unilocal.I had a badly injured shoulder and was looking for a doctor familiar with treating crossfit– related injuries. She is very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. My shoulder feels a lot better and I will definitely be referring friends to her!

She is awesome… I highly recommend!

Dr. Bass is amazing!!! My trainer recommended her after I had injured my back. I could not walk, sit, stand or drive to work without pain. I was taking medication to relieve the pain.
She asked me several questions about my pain. She explained in detail the process to be relieved of the pain at home as well. She made herself available for any questions I’ve had outside of the office. Dr. Bass is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and personable.
Because of her, I am able to not only just function without pain, I can workout, I can stop taking pills, and live free from nagging back pain that would lead to severe back spasms.
If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would.

I’ve been going to another chiropractor for a few years. Recently I’ve had horrible back and neck pain and all my old chiropractor would do is crack me and send me on my way. I got Marissa’s info from a friend and after 3 sessions, I’m not going back to my old chiro!
She asked where the pain was. Made me move around and tell her where I had pain. Within minutes she told me what was wrong. Adjusted me in ways my old chiro never did and the back pain is almost gone and feels better than it has in years! And the crossfit thing too!

Before Dr. Bass I was a train wreck! I had gone years with continuous aches and pain in my lower back. So long, that I had forgotten what it had felt like to stand and shift weight on my feet without feeling and hearing bones shift around in my lower back. My first chiropractic experience was with Dr. Bass. She made me feel completely relaxed, was very informative, and knew exactly how to diagnose my aches and pains. Who knew that a tilt in my pelvis could cause pain in my shoulder… Certainly not me! Long story short, I go see Dr. Bass and viola! she pops me right into place, and all is well on the world.
I know it’s been mentioned already but, if you are a Crossfitter or athlete: Go. See. Her. Now.

Dr Bass is comforting, re-​assuring, professional and caring. She’ll answer your questions in a supportive manner. Healthy healing hands with tremendous intuition.
All that and she keeps it real.
Her experience with professionals that work in sports that literally crush your existance… She puts u back together! Ask any Crossfit athlete.
Highly recommended.

I have never had the intention of getting «adjusted», assuming yoga and stretching was good enough for me. But having done CrossFit for almost a year I have become used to aches and pains and took them to be normal. One unexpected visit with Dr. Bass later, and I woke up today without any of the usual neck/​hip pains I have started to live with on a daily basis… even after doing almost 100 handstands/​headstands the night before! I’ve found a chiropractor I never knew I was missing.

I once had a bad experience with a chiropractor that i swore i would never go see one again. Well I was training for a competition that was very hard on my body that I desperately needed to get adjusted. I was referred to Dr. Bass and she was so sweet and really made me feel comfortable. She really knows what she is doing and knows how to make me feel better. She is the only Chiro I will let crack my neck!

I was in a car accident and started having little aches and pains and thought they would just go away on there own… but I was wrong. So I decided to go see Dr. Bass and wow. I don’t know how adjusting my neck made my shoulder blades stop hurting but I don’t question those magic hands. Now that I’m healed, I still go to see her every so often! She is the best. No questions. And she is Crossfit certified. Once you go Bass, you don’t go back (to being in pain that is).

I had never seen a chiropractor before, but I was having nagging injuries so I went to see Dr. Bass. She immediately put me on a plan that included regular adjustments, a healthier diet, vitamins and supplements. I feel so much better since I have started seeing her. Also, her office is not intimidating at all. It has a very casual yet professional atmosphere that I love. I have recommended a lot of friends to see Dr. Bass and they have all been really happy.
