Back To Wellness

Doctor Doran Hendleman is the best!!!
I want to thank you dearly for all that you have done for me.

Dr. Doran Hendleman is the best! He has been able to align my back and bring relief to lower back pain and sciatica down my leg. Dr. Hendleman is kind and caring, and so is the staff! I get relief in usually just one visit. One time when the pain was particularly acute, I got complete long lasting relief with two visits and a massage. I used to work near the office, but now it is totally worth the drive from Pasadena for continued care.

I got into car accident where i was injured, my attorney recommended me to visit Back To Wellness office for a check up. Dr. Doran Hendelman and his team prove a professional care every time I go in for treatment.
I definitely recommend this office!!!

Meh. The staff was friendly, and this place offers pretty much everything (pilates, massage, chiropractic, acupuncture), but I got poor results. I went for about 6 weeks for chronic neck pain, during which I tried all therapies available. The massages were fantastic, but unfortunately did nothing to help my pain.
The two chiropractors were nice, but they kept telling me I’d feel better in 2 weeks. 6 weeks later, no relief. That isn’t really their fault – they can only treat patients as best they can, everyone is different – but I spent a lot of money in that time and accomplished nothing. Finally I said I wanted an MRI and Dr. Hendelman agreed I should have one. I wish he’d recommended it sooner, as I had mentioned it before but he didn’t think we should jump straight to that (I know there are insurance reasons for this, as some insurance won’t cover an MRI unless they agree you’ve tried enough other options. Maybe that was why). I now know that I have a herniated disc and pinched nerve. Would’ve been nice to know from the start.

Dr. Gerald Mason is a wonderful doctor. Very attentive and knowledgeable. I recommend him and his staff without reservation.

The chiropractors and receptionists here have great attitudes and make it a pleasant experience to come down for your appointments even when you are in lots of pain and don’t want to leave the house. I have received excellent care and I’m so glad I picked Back to Wellness.

I had a sports injury years back and my neck and back have never been the same. I’ve gone to many different chiropractors & physical therapist over the last few years and always felt like the level of care and compassion was lacking. Dr Hendelman genuinely took interest in my problem and has taken care of me since day one to make sure I heal and improve. Now after several sessions I am like a new person and grateful for the care and compassion of Dr Hendelman and his staff.

Have been a very satisfied client for many years, from physical therapy, acupuncture, massage
Pilates and you name it, I’ve done it. The doctors, the staff, the therapists are excellent and you are in good hands at Back to Wellness. I highly recommend Back to Wellness for all that ails you

They are great! I have been visiting them for years to heal my aches and pains — they always help me.

Back to Wellness is outstanding for Fibromyalgia treatment.
Milana was the Physical Therapist who created my treatment plan and made modifications to it when it was necessary. She has such a gentle way. She was knowledgeable and respectful of the Fibromyalgia pain issues I was working through. Some PT groups — especially the jock types — have no idea how to handle Fibromyalgia so I was deeply grateful to work with this compassionate team. They really knew how to take tiny baby steps with it and not push too far.
Laura was my rehabilitative Pilates trainer and I mostly had Patty for massage. All were outstanding in their respective areas. The office staff is friendly and accommodating. Their digital/​text reminder system kept me on track for 3 times a week visits. I highly recommend them and regret that I can’t continue to see them since I moved to Long Beach.

I love Back to Wellness.
The massage therapists are highly trained and really know how to treat injuries or just tight muscles. There are a lot of inexpensive places to get a massage, but if you play sports or are physically active, this is the place to go when things feel tight and you want to make sure it doesn’t lead to an injury.
The chiropractors are excellent as well. My lower back went out and Dr. Hendelman was able to determine that the injury stemmed from a tight psoas. I was back to normal after 3 chiro/​massage treatments.
It’s a great, healing environment.

This is my favorite Chiropractic office in life! They have so many other services that I can’t find in one place in the San Fernando Valley. Pilates, Chiropractor, Physical Therapy, Accupuncture & Massage therapy all at one facility!!! This place fills up quickly and the annoying thing is they have sooo many massage therapists but they still fill up the schedule! You have to schedule early, fast and over a long period of time to get in this place. Their pilates instructors are amazing and taylor their work out according to their client’s needs… each client. The same is done in every area of service this place offers. I already have family, co-​workers and friends here, I can only invite those I don’t know at this point. They also accept insurance!!! Five stars just isn’t enough. I’ve been going about 10+ years but my hubby has been going for 15 years. Professional, clean, friendly, inviting, reasonably priced with specials, long office hours, accepts insurance… what else could you possibly ask for except for them to have another facility???

This place is phenomenal! I have referred several clients to this favility, after pretty bad accidents; and level of care they received does not compare with 99% of the facilities I know. Duran and his staff are extremely professional & provide exceptional treatment /​services to their patients. Thank you Back to Wellness for taking care of my clients!

I can not say enough positive about Back to Wellness.
I have seen each one of the chiropractors and they are all fabulous. They are personable, professional and remember to treat you like a person, not just a client.
The one times I saw their acupuncturist he allayed all of my fears (I’m deathly afraid of needles) and I left feeling so much better than before the treatment.
I have also been to see their masseuse and Pilates therapists. The massage was great but the stars of this practice are the Pilates therapists. I credit them (they are all terrific, seriously) with getting my back and neck back to feeling normal. Before seeing the Pilates therapist I couldn’t even move my neck all the way to the side or have full range of motion with my arms. After 3 months seeing them, I was 90% cured.
Lastly, the reception desk staff is fabulous and the offices are clean an inviting.
You will not regret Back to Wellness.

I am a military war veteran who served my country honorably and proudly. I was discharged due to an injury I obtained while in service. Since I was discharged I have been trying to locate the best place for care. This was my first appointment at this location and I was hopeful that this would be the place.
The staff was very helpful, they explained everything they had to offer and seemed to have great treatment options.
I cannot argue either way as to how effective their treatment is as I only attended one time.
What bothers me is the number companies out there that do not support, offer any benefits, or have any incentives for the men and women who, have and still do, serve this country and fight for the freedoms that we take for granted. Sadly Back to Wellness is one of these companies.
The day following my treatment I was contacted by Back to Wellness. I was informed that my benefits would only cover a certain percentage and that the rest would be out of pocket. A whopping $ 90 for the first general office visit and $ 70 thereafter! I cancelled all of my future appointments because I would not be able to afford that. I was never informed that I would be charged let alone so much money out of pocket. If I had been informed up front I would have cancelled right away. I asked if they would compensate in any way, yet they offered nothing. I never expected them to waive my fee but hoped that it could at least be discounted a bit. About 3 days later I received the $ 90 bill in the mail.
While I don’t believe in handouts, it is unfortunate that companies such as this one are unsympathetic to injuries caused or aggravated during ones military service. We, soldiers, have put our lives on the line and have made so many sacrifices to ensure the safety of our country and our freedoms yet we can’t even get affordable health care.
My insurance covered 80% and I am very thankful for that, had I not had the insurance my bill would have been astronomical. I do understand that this is a business and they need to make money yet without our service where would they be? If not for the sacrifices that those who guarded this country before me, beside me and all those that will come after me where would any of is be for that matter?
There are too many companies like this one and it is so disheartening. Again, I can’t speak to the services they provide but I can say that I know what they services they do not provide. I, for one, refuse to be a patron to companies such as this. I was too good and too proud a soldier to support companies who do not support the very foundation of our rights and freedoms.

I am so happy my friend introduced me to this place. I haven nothing but positive things to say about back to wellness. Everyone is so accommodating and hospitable including the chiropractors, front desk staff, massage therapists and pilates instructors. Everyone at this facility tries really hard to make you feel good and works hard to improve your health. My back feels significantly better since I started going here and I always feel amazing when I leave. The ambience is very therapeutic and relaxing and the staff have an awesome energy that always puts me in a good mood. Can’t recommend this place enough!

I’ve been to B2W enough times now where I feel I can write an honest review. I love this place and I have nothing but positive things to say about it. From the front desk service (so accomodating, so professional, and just plain nice!) to the massage therapists, pilates therapist to Dr. Henelman and Dr. Fernandez. This place is my place for my ongoing neck and back issues. My only issue is that it is not a network provider, which means I have to pay for the services out of pocket then be reimbursed through my insurance (but only a fraction of what I paid.) Thanks to Unilocal,that’s how I found B2W!

I’ve been coming here for about 4 years for lower back issues and every year my back gets better… Their staff is great and I get the best massages (Crissy is the best) They do book up quickly so u have to make an appt a week in advance and they do have free parking in the back… Dr. Hendleman is the owner and he is the nicest guy around and his wife Alina is always very sweet and helpful… They are up to date on the latest technologies and I always feel great coming here!
Dr. Mason is great for acupuncture and the other chiropractor is Dr. Fernandez… He is also great and very helpful!

I still remember my childhood days, MS free
the crazy days of running and jumping and falling, riding bikes you name it I did it.
Oh…the memories…
I now have the physical ailments of a 90 year-​old woman even with all the medications, Norco, Oxyconton to name a few I can never feel 100% pain free. MS had taken control of my life, living on medications day and night I thought I had met my kryptonite.
Fast forward a decade; physical therapy is a necessity the only ailment that has improved my life. My spastic body has taken me all over town before winding up at Back to Wellness. Physical therapy has changed my disability progression due to MS. I couldn’t be more thankful for the help the entire back to wellness center provides for me.
Dr. Waksman the physical therapist, is truly a master of what she does she tailored a unique treatment for me. My muscle strength has increased and my poor mobility skills have improved. She has years of experience and a incredible personality.
Milana Waksman and the Back to Wellness get my highest recommendation.

Had a random back injury after a vacation (as you do) and found B2W on Unilocal.
As per other reviews, these guys are on top of their game, from their front office staff through to the providers I saw.
Both their front office girls are professional, efficient and friendly.
I visited a couple of times to sort my back out and Dr Fernandez was knowledgeable and personable. Only thing with places like this is there is always a slight rush when seeing the Chiros, as the more patients they see per day means more billing revenue for them — but that’s the nature of the business and you’ll find pretty much the same anywhere else. What I liked about Dr Fernandez was his professionalism and ability to answer all my questions confidently and in sufficient detail.
The star of the show here is their masseuse, Kim. She is an absolute godsend.
I am highly active on the exercise front, and also a massage fiend (both for sport therapy and simple relaxation). I indulge in massages a few times a month and have literally probably seen over a hundred masseuses at all pricepoints across multiple continents over my lifetime. Fancy $ 300 treatment at a 6 star resort spa? The ex Team Physiotherapist for the Australian National Rugby team? Cheap but solid $ 35 Asian strip mall spot? Quasi yogi Hawaiian lomi-​lomi chanting spirit hands? Yup — done them all.
Kim is a professional of over 17 years (and also a super active exercise freak) and it shows in her body work. Super friendly, energetic and the hands down the best masseuse I have ever, ever encountered. If I could make afford weekly visits — I WOULD.
