Lavonne C Pineda, DC

Dr. Pineda is fantastic. I can’t say enough about how compassionate she is. Her adjustments are very thorough and consistent. I suffer from migraines and she is always flexible when I have a flare up. She is hands down the best. Chiropractic has changed my life.

Dr. Lavonne Pineda has been my Chiropractor for a few years now. I have been seeing a Chiropractor since I was 25 from working construction and injuring my lower back. I have had over ten chiropractors over the years in which all have helped me and I’m grateful for. Although I had met Dr Pineda I had heard about her through some friends that where her patients. They spoke of her being into adjusting what was only necessary and some wellness stuff. The wellness thing I figured was some holistically crap I might of scene on Opera. Needless to say my current chiropractor was closing and I was still dealing with my diagnoses of bulging disk in L5 that was continually going out on me. I was seeing my chiropractor weekly taking ibuprofen like candy and every two to three months it would go out on me which I would have to take Vicodin just to get to work. To me the Vicodin made it worse. So I went to Dr. Pineda and told her that I did not want to get surgery like my brother who had the same diagnoses and I would do anything. I told her that I felt like my digestive health had a lot to do with the problems and any time my back was out my digestive health was bad. Dr’s in the past told me why yes vicodin’s side effect is that it can cause constipation and digestive problems and that I could try Metamucil or a laxative. Dr. Pineda immediately started to tell me that here is where the wellness part would come into play. She recommended I do a cleanse. Also that I would need to get off the pain killers. What! I had been taking those for years was she insane? She said once my body got all the toxins out and was functioning better I would fell better. If I really needed it to take it but avoid it. Slowly from the adjustments and cleanse I was feeling a lot better. She also got me into a pair of new pair of orthodox for my shoes. My feet where another area that was part of the problem. My feet would hurt so bad that I would stand on one foot at a time at work leaning one way or another to relieve the pain only to cause more problems to my lower back. The orthopedics where great. It has now been a couple of years but I would say within six months of seeing her I had no longer had the horrible pain in my lower back and syatic that I had before. I no longer take any pain medication and I have not taken vicodin since I went in her office. Of course I never had the surgery that was recommended to me either. I am 44 years old and I spent 30 min on a treadmill, 30 min on a stair master and did a hour of weights today with no problems. I can not tell you how grateful I am for getting my life back. If you want to get better than great but if you want to Live Well go see Dr Pineda.

I have had a severe Scoliosis since a teen and have undergone many treatments short of surgery. Dr. Pineda is the best Chiropractor I have found. Her extensive knowledge and holistic approach has made all the difference.

Dr. Pineda is great! I have never had chiropractic before but after a horrible back injury my brother told me to go see her. We took X rays and found out I had mild scoliosis and my hips were completely rotated in the wrong direction which was giving me a lot of back pain. After one adjustment, we had to take another X-​Ray to see the severity of my hips and there was so much improvement after just one adjustment.
Shes really sweet, she spends her time with you so you understand everything that is going on. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!!!

Dr. Pineda has been so helpful to me in managing my migraine headaches. She was very thorough in my initial consultation and has continued to provide exceptional care over the last year. When I feel a migraine coming on she will do her best to get me in as soon as possible for an adjustment and usually it will provide much needed relief. As a headache sufferer for years, I am a believer in Chiropractic Care. She has been very compassionate and really cares about each persons healing.

A big thank you to Dr. Pineda! I have a pinched nerve in my neck that flared up to the point of extreme pain and I could barely move, which was very scary considering I’m a hairstylist! I found Dr. Pineda through Unilocal and true to the other reviews, I found her to be an excellent chiropracter, probably the best I have ever seen. She is very warm and genuinely cares about my healing, taking the time to explain to me how chiropractic care would benefit me. I have seen a lot of chiropracters in the past and have often felt rushed and like they just were getting me in and out, not so with Dr. Pineda. After just 2 weeks of adjustments, I felt 90% better and was able to work. Her adjustments are gentle and at the same time very thorough, I highly recommend seeing Dr. Pineda for chiropratic care.

I have been a patient of Dr. Pineda for a couple of years and highly recommend her. I have a form of arthritis in my spine and she has helped keep me moving and pain free. She is highly professional, thoughtful and extremely caring in her practice. Everyone I have referred to Dr. Pineda has been thrilled with her services. I also know her to be very supportive of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

I write this review from the vacation I wouldn’t have been able to take 2 weeks ago. I have had chronic back pain for 20 years due to a car accident. A month ago I pinched a nerve in my back because of this old injury. It cost me a week of work because I could not walk. We had planned a vacation that required much walking, that now, I couldn’t do. A week in bed, 3 weeks on crutches and constant pain led me to Dr. P. All I can say is she is a miracle worker. With 10 days to go until my vacation I hobbled into Dr. P, s office. The task I presented her, get me walking pain free in less than 2 weeks. Man did she deliver. I am enjoying my family vacation, pain free thanks to her. She laid out a simple plan and even came in on her day off to see me. That’s commitment to her patients.
She takes her time to explain to you the problem you have and her treatment plan. She has an excellent bedside manner and is easy to talk to. I can’t recommend Dr. Pineda enough. She is awesome! Go see her now. You won’t be disappointed. And if you’re lucky, you’ll get to meet Stella.
Thanks so much Dr. P!

Dr Pineda is AWESOME!!! if you are looking for Chiropractic care, don’t think twice go see Dr Pineda, she’s AMAZING!!!

After a major car accident my girlfriend and I were involved in, we came to see Dr. Pineda. Not only was her treatment extremely effective, focused and individualized, she took a genuine concern in our health. She was able to offer guidance and flexibility with our situation. We feel much better now and would not hesitate to return! A+

My son has Erb’s Palsy, and now that he is older, the only way for him to gain any further range of motion is through Chiropractic Care. Dr. Pineda is the 3^rd Chiropractor we have seen for his Condition. After ONE appointment, simply the exam, and x-​rays, Dr. Pineda gave him one simple excercise, that he completed once in her office and he already felt the area losen and was able to gain a bit more range of motion. If that is the result of one visit, I am so excited to for him to see her for an actual treatment! She also was able to use terminology regarding his sport that impressed him. And impressing a teenage boy is not an easy thing to do. He felt that for the first time, someone understood what he needed, and what he was trying to gain through chiropractic care.

I have had ²⁴⁄₇ pain in my feet for over five years. Three surgeries, lots of physical therapy, a gazillion dollars on shoe inserts. My feet hurt every morning even before I stood up.
I saw Dr Pineda on Monday and Tuesday morning I woke up and … it was a miracle, no pain. Yes, feet can be adjusted. She addressed all my aches and pains which have hurt so badly for over five years. I have now had two days in a row without pain.
My life has really gotten waaaaay better thanks to the fabulous Dr Pineda. Go, run, drive, job, wheel over to see her tomorrow. You will not be sorry.

Can I get an Amen! Having worked in the field of Chiropractic Care I have experienced the unkept promises and unhappy results from doctors over and over and the bad rap is such a misfortune to the true gems out there. Dr. Pineda is one of them. Her professional, yet intuitive approach is very remarkable and I am very confident when I agree with the previous review — she is an absolute healer. She really listens with her whole being and I believe that is the secret to her amazing work. A BIG heartfelt Thank you Dr. P, your efforts in only a few weeks have brought the wind beneath my wings and swing in my step again.

She’s a healer! If you need a doctor she is one of the best!

She is hands down, the best I have ever been too. I have been to a lot.
I have seen her twice under emergency situations, (I’m talking vacation canceling, no refund… PAIN)
And within 48 hours, she’s had me back in business.
Also I have plantar faciatis, when I was seeing Dr. Pineda regularly. NO PAIN. You have found your doctor. quit looking.

She knows her stuff and is very professional. She insisted on seeing xrays before getting started, whereas some chiros just start moving your back around. I completely trust Dr. Pineda and highly recommend her.

Dr. Pineda is phenomenal. I’ve had the luxury of chiropractic in the past and I’ve absolutely despised the practice. One bad experience after another. When I met Dr. Pineda, I was so skeptical to go through it again. I have a misaligned neck from misuse, etc. The problem before was the doctors promised many things yet nothing evolved. It was literally a trial and error practice. The more I went to get «adjusted», the stiffer my neck was and I literally couldn’t drive and turn my head, etc. for weeks or the whole time.
With Dr. Pineda, she has a certain way of providing comfort. She knew how I felt about Chiropractic. She didn’t jump right into doing the practice. The thing that lead me to trying her out was that she was able to tell me where my problem was before I explained anything. So by just looking and testing my range, etc., she knew which muscles and joints I needed to work on. Sounds kinda like a fortune teller. After just couple of adjustments, I felt different and never sore and stiff like before. Things are looking up! I am once again a believer of chiropractic and I strongly recommend seeing her if you’re not happy with yours.
