Movement Chiropractic and Wellness

Dr. Griffith is amazing! I highly recommend him. I was unable to run after hurting myself on a long run followed by several days of powder skiing. My M.D. sister-​in-​law recommended finding a practitioner skilled in active release therapy (ART). I chose Dr. Griffith based on his excellent online reviews. After two appointments mainly focused on ART, my pain is completely gone and I’m back on my marathon training plan. I went from not being able to run half a mile due to pain to completing my 16 mile long run as scheduled (although slower due to not running for three weeks). I’m not sure if all injuries would respond as quickly, but I’m very grateful for Dr. Griffith’s excellent treatment!

I sprained my ankle on a ski trip, and was very luck to find Dr. Griffith who happened to be down the street from my work. He is very attentive and does a great job in fixing up my ankle. In addition, he was able to restore motion for my arm that was injured many years ago. Using different methods, he was able to loosen up knots and tension in my neck and shoulders, get my spine to align, and adjust my hip so my back doesn’t hurt as much. He tries to accommodate crazy schedules, and I really appreciate being able to go in on a short notice for a quick fix when I’m in pain.

Dr Griffith is thorough knowledgeable and an incredible practitioner. Not only did he heal my reoccurring back issues, he taught me techniques and exercises to prevent them in the future. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Griffith is simply amazing. During my 8^th month of pregnancy I started experiencing horrible, debilitating low back pain. I went from walking several miles per day to barely being able to hobble around at work. I was skeptical that a chiropractor (or anyone!) could help me due to the severity of the pain, but as I was desperate, I gave Dr. Griffith a try. After the first visit, I felt mild improvement. After the second, I was able to walk short distances with minimal pain. And after the third visit, I was basically pain free and was able to resume walking up to three miles per day up until the day I delivered our daughter! I continued to visit him weekly and still feel surprised that my pain got better and better as my pregnancy progressed. I will be forever grateful to him for making the last month and a half of my pregnancy not only bearable, but somewhat enjoyable.
Other pros:
*Nice office in convenient location with plenty of street parking.
*Dr. Griffith is super friendly and will make anyone feel comfortable, especially if you are new to the world of chiropractic care, as I was.
*Dr. Griffith seems to genuinely care about his patients and their lives. He focuses on wellness and preventive care.
*The office is very tech-​friendly. My appointment reminders and receipts are E-​mailed to me.
I can’t even think of a con.

I work right in downtown so was looking for a good chiropractor that was convenient but also one that could fix my sprained ankle and aching back! I play basketball 5 – 6 days a week and had recently sprained my ankle. I was so happy Dr. Griffith came to the rescue.
I had always thought you should rest, ice and not move your ankle. He approached my injury completely different by mobilizing my ankle, using this tape (I think it’s called rock tape), and adjusting my low back/​ankle.
I have never recovered from an ankle sprain so fast! I also left with some awesome exercises that improved my hip strength (which I was told helps my knees for Bball!)
My ankle has never felt better and I am now able to shoot like Steph curry (ok not that good) but am now able to play without pain and a lot more confidence that my ankle and knees will hold up!
If you are even thinking about a chiropractor don’t look further! Go!

My wife had amazing results with Dr. Griffith in healing her shoulder injury, so when I injured my own shoulder (gym) I went straight to him as well. I’ve now seen him 5 times with great results and have been able to keep working out during the entire process. Dr. Griffith has more techniques/​approaches available to him than I’ve ever before seen in a chiropractor… he frequently uses A.R.T. (Active Release Technique, I think) on my shoulder. On one of my visits he Roc-​taped my shoulder. I’m impressed that typical chiropractic (skeletal) adjustment is just one of Dr. Griffith’s many available approaches… in no way is that his only tool. This is a whole new level of chiropractic in my experience. Highly recommended.

Doctor Taylor Griffith is one of the most genuine, professional, and helpful chiropractors if ever had work on my body. I found his initial examination to be very thorough. He took the time to examine a recent MRI of my lower back, and consulted with me personally about his findings. He also took the time to talk through all of my previous sports related injuries, where I felt he offered an empathic ear.
He then took time to examine my posture, spinal alignment and walking gait, before performing other tests to assess my spinal range of motion. Throughout the exam he continued to communicate with me how and why he had me performing each task. He also took photos of me to provide me with additional data on my posture.
His spinal adjustment both reduced my pain in my hips and lower back. He also provided me with several exercises to do daily to help alleviate my symptoms. I truly got a sense that Dr. Taylor Griffith wants to help his patients return to a normal, pain free life. I will recommend him to all my friends and family who suffer from back pain.

I only wish I had found Dr. Griffith sooner! I had lower front rib pain for almost a year with an x-​ray, MRI and orthopedic pain specialist not able to diagnose or treat my issues. Dr. Griffith assessed the area, decided on the use of A.R.T. (Active Release Therapy) and within two treatments my pain and tightness was 80% better. After four treatments the pain was gone. Dr. Griffith is very thorough, and has a good understanding of the best treatment to utilize. I recommend him highly!

I was in a serious car accident and Dr. Griffith helped me to get back to exactly how I was before the accident, as well as helping me with some other issues I was having. Recommend him very highly.

I am so pleased with Dr. Griffith and his level of treatment. I had a car accident in the past which left me with tightness and restricted breathing on my left side. As a Pilates instructor, I am a highly active person and have been seeking relief to allow me to enjoy my life to the fullest. I’m familiar with anatomy and was happy to communicate the areas which I believed needed help but couldn’t identify how to treat them. Stretching and self massage have been my go-​to but haven’t gotten the problem to resolve. I’ve seen many Chiropractors who have added some relief in the past, but I’m very impressed with how Dr. Griffith approached my issue.
He did a Postural assessment with photos and to identify and illustrate the subtle shifts in my posture. He performed ART (Active Release Therapy) which immediately aided relief in my kinetic chain and opened up my ribs allowing me to breathe! I’ve had massages in the past which barely reached the level of release that ART did. He knew exactly how to manipulate with pressure and movement to open me up. Also, after so many years no other practitioner had performed ART let alone diagnosed my tightness in my mid back as scar tissue, which Dr. Griffith had. He also released areas of my neck and hips which were in need of an adjustment.
Dr. Griffith is personable and genuinely wants to know his patients in order to help them.
Also a time saver the paperwork is done online so no rush getting there to fill out the necessary forms.

Dr Taylor is great. I am a Chiropractor in San Francisco and he is the Chiro I goto when I am traveling in the South Bay. He has great hands and a great personality. He has helped me many times when I injured myself. He specializes in Active Release Technique and has a great understanding of movement and sports sciences. If you are new to Chiropractic he is very helpful in educating you about the importance of self care and exercises. He is super involved with the Crossfit community and has lots of experience in working with athletes as well. ThanksDr. Taylor for helping me and rocking it. :)

The office is not that easy to find, its behind shalala restaurant. I got great directions from Dr Griffith on the phone so it didnt take much time finding it.
He is very knowledgeable and spends enough time with me for my first visit. My other chiropractic appointments usually takes longer waiting time than treatment time (that’s why I stopped going)
I had lots of questions and I feel bad for asking so much, but he has a lot of patience and he answers all my questions.
My obsess with smart phones/​computer/​ipad causes me neck soreness and tingling on my fingers. I’ve been dropping my phone on the floor a lot too. He said its thoracic outlet syndrome (I had him explain the definition)
Long story short, I felt relieved after the session (about 40% numbness gone. He said that it will come back because I will forget to fix my posture again, so he taught be a few stretches too.
Definitely recommended and will be back!

I have been dealing with a hip issue for a few months and have sought the help of professionals including massage therapist, acupuncturist, and yoga teachers. While all those sessions provided temporary relief, I gotta say getting chiropractic care from Movement Chiropractic and Wellness provided significant results. In just a few days, I noticed the difference in my hip. I’ve received chiropractic care before and am familiar with receiving «adjustments» but Dr. Griffith of MVMT Chiropractic provided additional treatment known as «active release technique» that I really loved! I plan to continue my visits at MVMT Chiropractic to complement my yoga practice.

My doctor referred me to Dr. Griffith for a comprehensive assessment because I was having headaches, and nothing was working. I was really nervous about seeing a chiropractor because of all the horror stories I have heard; however, he spent a lot of time assessing my needs and discussing how exactly his treatment plan would address my complaints. I couldn’t believe how understanding and nice he was about my reservations. Long story short, I have been seeing him once a week for 3 weeks and my headaches are GONE!!!

Dr. Griffith treated me after I was in a car accident and injured my lower back. Thanks to him I am now pain free and can confidently move around without fear & hesitation of my back giving out. He is friendly and genuinely cares about his patient’s well being! If you need chiropractic care– I highly recommend Dr. Griffith!

I met with Dr. Griffith after experiencing an injury during Crossfit (surprise, surprise.) I would get really bad headaches during work outs that involved overhead movements. After two sessions, Dr. Griffith had fixed the issue that had stemmed from tight shoulders/​neck using ART and given me extra mobility homework to prevent the issues from happening again in the future. I continued to see Dr. Griffith after that, but mainly just for maintenance. I highly recommend Dr. Griffith if you have any injuries relating to being active.

Dr. Taylor Griffith came highly recommended to me by my regular chiropractor, who was out of town when I was seriously injured, causing me debilitating back pain, muscle spasms, and severe nerve pain in my upper leg.
Dr. Taylor was able to see me without delay, and immediately went to work relieving my pain. Expertly utilizing Active Release Techniques (ART) and other chiropractic modalities (yeah, I had to look up that word), Dr. Taylor got me back on my feet and moving again — which as anyone who has suffered from back pain knows, is a key step (no pun intended) towards recovery.
I would have been in a world of hurt (literally) without Dr. Taylor’s friendly and compassionate care. My current chiropractor is lucky he recently moved his practice to northern California, because she would have faced serious competition if Dr. Taylor was still here in LA!

Dr. Taylor worked magic on my shoulder after I hurt it working out. After one visit I was almost totally out of pain and could get back to lifting, and after only a few more adjustments I was completely out of pain. I can say that the money was more the well spent. Thank you so much Dr. Taylor!!!

I can’t speak more highly of Dr. Griffith! He is very knowledgeable in ART and because of his experience and knowledge of sports related injuries and mobility limitations he easily treats and relieves my symptoms arising from being a CrossFit athlete. Throughout my appointments, he has always been professional, intelligent, and compassionate. He takes the time to explain what is going on, how to prevent injuries and provides exercises and stretches to practice at home as well. I highly recommended Dr. Griffith to anyone and everyone!

Dr. Griffith has been my go to since I injured myself training for my first half marathon. My running injury had grown into an issue where I could barely walk without discomfort. Dr. Griffith worked with me to help me understand my injury, the cause of it, and using ART to address it. Because a chiropractor is out of pocket for me, he also shared with me several stretches and techniques I could do at home to speed up the recovery. After two sessions with Dr. Griffith, my discomfort was significantly reduced and I was able to continue with my training and finish my 13.1.
I highly recommend Dr. Griffith not only for helping me with my injury but he also went above and beyond and provided tips on strength training, nutrition, and techniques to adopt during my 13.1 training.
