Shahgaldian Chiropractic

Recently I woke with a neck completely out of whack. I walked in with no appointment. Dr. Shahgaldian saw me right away.
She spent over an hour using e-​stim, ultrasound, towel traction, massage… By the time I left, I felt better already. She warned, however, that she treated me aggressively, so she sent me off with tips about drinking lots of water, recommended a detox drink, and an Epsom salt bath.
She even texted me the next day to see how I was feeling!
The best part was, I felt better than I had in years. While a wonky neck brought me in, Dr. Shahgaldian’s deep work loosened a back full of stiff, ropey muscles.
What I most appreciate about Dr. Shahgaldian is her understanding of how the body wants to heal and desire to support that healing process. Her treatment swiftly resolved my acute problem, but I keep returning because she’s helping undo years of accumulated tension and chronic pain, creating a greater sense of healthy ease and flexibility, helping establish and maintain a new «normal.» Brilliant!

Dr. Shalgaldian & Dr. Arnold are great! Always get back to you regarding scheduling appointments, super skilled always feel great and improved when I leave. Highly recommend. My son is a lacrosse player who injured his back and they have really taken care of him and work with his injury. Just Great!

I’ve had what I think was a pinched nerve and dislocated rib for close to a week now, which was causing a lot of pain. I visited Dr. Shahgaldian for the 1^st time today, and this was by far the best chiropractic visit I’ve ever had. The office is equipped with a number of very useful tools and methods for healing. On my 1^st visit, we did electric stim, a decompression table (I think what was called???), ultrasound, a deep tissue massage, heating pads, adjustments (that were very gentle, because my back is still very tight and will need more work), and Biofreeze spray. She was great at explaining everything she was doing in easy to understand detail, and I walked out of there after about an hour and a half feeling 10x better than when I walked in. I’d like to visit again later this week, and multiple times after that, as they’re very close to where I work. I thought the bill was going to be much higher than it ended up being, they’re very reasonably priced for all that they offer. I’ve already recommended the office to a number of co-​workers and friends.

I love Yvette! She is very attentive and was the most helpful chiropractor I have had. She also does her best to work with your schedule and her hours are very flexible. Definitely recommend.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Shahgaldian for almost 2 months now and all I can say is, wow! The results in just that short amount of time have been amazing. I was suffering from frequent headaches and migraines and a really bad lower back pain. I highly recommend Dr. Shahgaldian and her team!

My background and diagnosis:
I have been suffering from severe low back pain, as a result of two herniated disc, on and off for the past few years. I was experiencing a radiating pain from my lower back to the side of my knee in addition to neck stiffness on a daily basis. I had been searching for a reliable chiropractor in my area to continue the care that I have received in the past. The team of health professionals at S.C. has far exceeded my expectations, especially with the addition of their specialization in my type of injury.
Treatment:
I receive a combination of deep tissue massage, from Casandra (massage therapist), ultrasound therapy, flexion distraction, spinal decompression, with the use of a cox table administered by Dr. Shahgaldian (my primary doctor), treatment on a roller table and «constant» manual adjustments with Dr. Arnold, which consist of adjustments to my body.
Results:
I have been receiving services for about a month and have experienced noticeable improvements in my neck/​back health, beginning after my first initial sessions. After every visit I feel better and better. I am experiencing less pain, have begun to get more range of movement.
The Location/​Staff
The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The S.C. team is thorough in their explanations of treatment and care. They encourage asking questions and voicing concerns, so I feel comfortable in this office. So, if you are looking for quality care, Shahgaldian Chiropractic, should be at the top of your bookmarks.

This is my first review ever, but I had to review her. I drive 50+ miles a day because of work and my lower back was starting to feel its effects. I started feeling like an old lady constantly complaining about how much pain I was in. In comes Dr Shahgaldian and I no longer feel like a crippled old lady. She is thorough and explained to me exactly what she was doing. After a few treatments, I felt considerably better. Clean place and very relaxing. Definitely check her out!

I have been looking for a good chiropractor for a while. I met Dr. Shahgaldian at LA Fitness. At the time I was recovering from herniated disc. I approached to her and asked her couple of questions. When she was answering my questions, she sounded very professional and carrying. Her professionalism got my attention. I decided to go and give it a try. I did and since then I have been very happy with Shahgaldian chiropractor. Since I have been going to Dr. Shahgaldian, I have seen nothing but care, respect and professionalism. All I can say that finding Dr. Shahgaldian is a prayer answered. I have been going to her for over a month and I see tremendous results already. Another amazing thing is, the office is very clean and you don’t wait for hours to go in unlike other chiropractors offices.
Thank you Dr. Shahgaldian ‚

Highly recommend this place! Threw a ball so hard I broke my own arm giving myself a spiral fracture of my right humerus. As soon as the incision was healed (about a week after surgery), this facility was giving me dynamic exercises that compliment my very active lifestyle. They’ve also been using the Graston Technique on me which has been superb in the removal of scar tissue. They started doing the technique before the scar tissue had time to develop and in doing so, prevented any reduced potential range of motion. Not only do I have full range of motion and increased strength, the scar on the superficial level is slowly fading away. These people are well educated, kind and highly effective at what they do. Strongly recommend them!

I met Dr. Shahgaldian when she had been a student at at Cleveland Chiropractic School. Another student who was graduating referred me to her. Fast forward almost 2 years, I found out she was practicing in Pasadena. I remembered the cervical towel traction, the dropping table instead of those high powered adjustments I got from other Chiros which were too much for my body. It was good to see her and see that she hadn’t lost her touch. Of course the sessions were quicker than they were in the school environment since there was no teacher needed to sign off on the treatments. My knots below my right shoulder blade are almost gone (I’m a knottie person) plus the cool (literally) Biogel she puts on afterwards feels great. I always sleep well after adjustments which always helps. Thankfully, I just need routine maintenance. She is a great diagnostician and listener, plus she is gentle! Dr. Shahgaldian really helped me during an emotional and painful time 2 years ago. Now I continue to go for maintenance including when I’ve worked out too hard. I’m not going anywhere else, I finally found a Chiropractor I’m comfortable with!

I’ve been athlete most of my life and knee pain was stopping me from running and performance! I was recommended to see Dr. Shahgaldian. Since I’ve started my therapy my pain has decreased a lot and sometimes I don’t have any pain which is surprising since I haven’t felt that way for a long time. Besides therapy Dr. Shahgaldian also uses athletic tapes. I will be continuing my visits since they have been helping me heal my knee and allowing me to be active. I highly recommend Dr. S. for anyone who wants to tune up any kinks in their body.

I had been feeling some discomfort in my ribs after working out too hard and decided to pay a visit to a Chiropractor. I was referred to the Shahgaldian Chiropractic for it. I was impressed by their customer service and treatment they applied on me. I was happy with the results as the discomfort in my ribs disappeared after some adjustments. I also like the area that this business is located at … safe and no problems with the parking either. Highly recommended.

Having had to endure sever lower back pain and neck pain, seeing my regular doctor for quite a while and nothing he did or prescribed seemed to help, a client of mine told me to see Dr. Shahgaldian. Even though it is a bit of a distance to drive from where I live. I truly am glad to have found her. Beside the warm, caring and welcoming initial consultation, I can’t believe just after a couple of visits for treatment how much my condition has improved. She was extremely patient with my ongoing complaints about my pains and gave me the treatment which really seemed to make a difference. Every time I left the office (a nice, clean and welcoming store front office in a small plaza. Parking was no problem at all) I truly feel like a new me. I would recommend her any time.
