I have had problems with my neck for over 10 years. I finally went to Dr. Mike and now the sharp, painful pains shooting down my arm have just melted away. I refer everyone to him; he's the best chiropractor I've ever been to.

Thanks for everything!!

After searching on the Westside of L.A. for over Thirty years for a good Chiropractor a friend referred me to Dr. Mike and he is simply the best, out of many, many, many Chiropractors I have seen. I came to his office unable to stand up right... Thinking i'd never walk without sever pain or favoring my one leg, Dr. Mike assured me that I would be better over time. Well he was right, I'm back to playing golf, working in my Garden and walking 30 minutes four times a week. Now my clients and friends are asking me for Dr. Mike's number because they have experienced my incredible recovery first hand.. I know with regular adjustments I'll never be in that situation like I was when I first came to him. As a bonus his office administrator is the most pleasant human being you could ever want to deal with. It's a win win situation.

I've had plenty of back pain throughout the years. I've tried many chiropractors. Dr. Mike has set me free of pain!
Great staff and convenient location.

Dr. Mike and my previous Chiropractor have SAVED me from back surgery. Over 10 years ago an Ortho & a Neuro MD each proposed surgery. As a health care professional of some 47 years I've seen the "successes" of such surgery & wanted no part of that. Dr. Mike has been & is always there for me for a "tune up" or acute situation inevitably knowing the source of the problem & inevitably getting me active and mobile again. Rose is a gem - I seriously doubt she has a pesimistic/sad/depressed bone in her body! It's a joy to come to the office where I always feel welcome no matter how lousy I feel, and where when I leave I feel SO much better not only physically, but emotionally as well. THANK YOU DR MIKE AND ROSE...will you come with me when I move???

Dr. Mike Dorausch is a fantastic chiropractor! His personable attitude and easy appoint availability make him and his staff the best in L.A. (and probably elsewhere, too). By seeing Dr. Mike on a semi-regular basis for the past 2+ years, I have noticed an improvement in my overall health, and have been able to avoid seeing an M.D. and taking their prescribed drugs. THANK YOU, DR. MIKE!

Dr. Mike is by far and away the best chiropractor I've ever had. After 2 car accidents in 9 days I was fear full of letting anyone touch my back, but now only a few months later, I feel better then ever. Not only is he the best at what he does, he's also the nicest person you could meet.

My wife and I have been going to Dr. Mike for the last couple years. I am not normally the kind of guy who at all enjoys going to the doctor or any other type of health office, but I do look forward to my weekly visits to Dr. Mike's. As a really tall guy, my back and neck get tweaked quite a bit from hunching over in regular chairs, desks, etc. After a tune up adjustment, I feel a lot better and have less chronic discomfort. The office staff is very kind, cheerful, and I always leave with a smile. I think one of the best perks is the fact that they have evening hours, so I don't have to miss work or classes for my graduate school during the day. Definitely worth it!

Dr. Mike is great. I have been seeing him for almost 2 years, and would recommend him to anyone looking for a good chiropractor. He is friendly, listens well, and really cares about improving health through chiropractic care. The office staff is also super friendly and never without a welcome smile. I didn't used to think of chiropractic care as something that was done as something to promote health, but compared to my pre-chiropractic days, I get sick much less now than I used to. Dr. Mike really works with his patients to ensure that they get the care they need. You should know that this office is not a "spa-like" chiropractic office - they don't try to sell you on different add ons or frills. It's super practical, family friendly, very kind, and the adjustments don't take an hour (like I've previously experienced), so you can stop by in the morning or after work. Oh, a final thought - they also have evening hours, and are really flexible with scheduling!

(down a few reviews below mine there is a negative post - having read this post, I can't even believe the post is talking about this same office. First of all, Dr. Mike & Rose, the front office manager, are super accommodating of patients and really work with patients so that they can be seen and treated at an affordable level. Perhaps the poster was having a bad day, because in my opinion, that could not be further from reality...)

My 4 kids and I have been going to Dr. Mike for 7 1/2 years. The best 7 1/2 years of your life. I've had the pleasure to watch Dr. Mike grow in his business. He is truly the best chiropractor I've ever come across. His office staff is very pleasant and you feel very welcome. So if you are subluxated Dr. Mike is the doctor for you. He has been adjusting all my kids since birth and they are all in great health.

First met Dr. Mike about three years ago. I had hurt my knee and someone recommended him to me. He fixed me up pronto, and i've been going to see him for tune ups ever since. Not only is he a gifted chiropractor, he is a great guy, knows all his patients, and has created a warm and caring environment in his office. He is the best!!!

I severely hurt my back at work, found him on-line and was seen immediately. I literately crawled into Dr. Mike's office, I was in so much pain. The sense of urgency that I had, he had and you could tell that he wanted to help. I received excellent care and a much needed adjustment. I tell people all the time, "Want a good adjustment? Go to Dr. Mike."

When my head starts feeling like is going to explode the first place I go is ADIO Chiropractic. I used to get migraine headaches really bad and I tried all kinds of drugs (which I hate). Getting adjusted has been the best thing for me. I remember when I thought chiropractic would not help but DR. Mike and his staff have done away with that notion.

I'm a regular now and love the results I get. The office is clean, energetic, and they put out great stuff to read that is not your typical doctor stuff.

The doctors adjustments leave you feeling sooo relaxed. It's a different world when you walk out of ADIO.

PROS: Good doctoring skills, death to my migraines, takes my insurance

I get adjusted once a week at Dr. Mike's office, and the service is always friendly, affordable, fast, accessible, and OUTSTANDING!

Because I work out at a "Curves" gym next door to his office, I frequently hear "user reviews" in person. It is remarkable that not a single person has had a negative experience of any kind, let alone a "so-so" experience. He comes highly recommended from every patient I've ever met (and I know a lot of them).

Dr. Mike is always available to answer any health questions you may have. I consider him to be my primary care physician, as the one listed on my insurance is not at all accessible and I haven't seen him in over 4 years.

Another nice thing about Dr. Mike is that he is an active member in the community. I recently saw him in his booth at the "Venice Carnivale," giving adjustments to all who needed one!

PROS: friendly, affordable, fast, accessible, and OUTSTANDING care!
CONS: No cons to speak of.

I'm a high school teacher - high stress, exposed to lots of germs, and I haven't been sick once this year! I started getting adjusted by Dr. Mike at the beginning of the school year and I finally realized it's the adjustments that are helping out my immune system. I asked him if chiropractic care would help ward of colds and flus, and he said it's one of the most common things people say. I originally went to Dr. Mike for a neck problem which has all but vanished, keeping the flu away is an added bonus! I would never have made it through this semester without Dr. Mike's excellent care. Thanks Dr. Mike!

One of the many reasons I love Dr. Mike is because he has a nobel philosophy about health care. It is very apparent that he is motivated by the idea of helping people and NOT by what could be in it for him (like $$$)
Thank you Dr. Mike!

I have been a patient of Dr. Mike Dorausch for four years. I tried to find a chiropractor on my own when I first moved to LA from New Jersey and was very unsuccessful. I went to three bad chiropractors before Dr. Mike was recommended to me by my chiropractor in New Jersey. I am thankful every day for my good health and I owe a lot of that thanks to Dr. Mike.

Since I have been getting adjusted on a regular basis (once a week) my immune system has vastly improved. When I was a kid I was sick all the time and had a terrible time shaking these illnesses. Now when I do get sick, I'm usually really sick for a day, then I'm better. It's truly amazing.

Aside from keeping my general health strong, Dr. Mike also helped heal me after a terrible accident I was in two years ago. I was riding a four-wheeler and accidentally launched it and it landed on top of me. Beside needing 20 stitches in my leg I did some serious nerve damage. I was so banged up that the doctors thought my hip might be broken. Thankfully the bone wasn't broken, but when I hobbled into Dr. Mike's office on crutches, I had no feeling on my right side from about my mid-thigh to my ribs. I also had a day where I lost all muscle control in my right arm. I spent every day at Adio for about a month. Two months after the accident I was back to normal. I still had a bad scar, but the nerve damage healed.

I recommend Dr. Mike Dorausch to everyone I know, not only for aches and pains, but to keep your body strong and healthy all year round.

Multiple car accidents have left my neck and back in constant pain. Seeking relief, a friend suggested seeing Dr. Mike at ADIO Chiropractic. So I made an appointment. It was the best thing I ever did. I have never been in better hands.

You feel comfortable and at home in his office. You are treated like a person not a patient. Your well-being is his 1st concern. He takes emergency calls and walk-ins. If youa re in pain, I highly recommend ADIO in Culver City.

Several years ago I was told I had lumbar spinal stenosis, which was affecting both of my legs and making it difficult to walk even short distances. The only option doctors gave me were cortisone injections, pills, and maybe the option of surgery in the future. I tried the steriod shots 3 times and the last time the problem got worse.

A friend referred me to ADIO chiropractic in 2003. I have to say it took a while for me to improve. I was getting adjustments 2-3 times per week for nearly 3 months. My legs ached, got hot, burned, and then they got better. Dr. Mike called it "retracing" the injury. It's been two plus years and I've been doing great. I get adjustments once a week and am back to hiking again.

I have been golfing for more than 10 years. About two years ago I began developing a problem in my back, on the lower left side. I went to ADIO chiropractic at the request of a family member and I'm glad I did. Dr. Mike took x-rays of my low back and showed me what was going on. I had distortion in my spine and muscles from my activities. He was very knowledgable about my body and had specific chiropractic techniques geared towards golfers. I was impressed! I have been getting adjusted ever since and I'm playing better than ever. I love the ease of getting into the office. Great staff, real friendly folks.

I'd been to chiropractors in the past but never got the results I did at ADIO Chiropractic. Thanks doctor!

Get your motor running, head out on the highway, looking for a good chiropractor, better be going my way.

I work hard, I mean 5 o'clock in the morning rain or shine, 10-14 hour days welding, lifting steel, setting plate glass hard. Number one thing I like about ADIO is I can get in - get adjusted - get out - and get going back to my day.

I got turned on to chiropractic by a referral to Dr. Mike some 10 years ago. Some people have just got to be brain dead because they don't seem to understand that chiropractic is about much more than back pain. And if youve been paying any attention to trends in the media, you know that the pharmaceutical industry (the drug makers) has seized control of Americas minds.

I want to give my body a chance to seek out homeostasis on its own. Letting my natural regulatory mechanisms do their thing. Don't need no pills, just get me my adjustment, some good food, exercise, and rest, and I'm up at 5am to kick it into gear.

Thanks ADIO Chiropractic (310) 301-4448 for putting up with me, I'm your biggest fan.

I'm a part-time golfer and I get out to play about once a month. The reason is after about 15 holes, my back gets so stiff that the last 3 holes are uncomfortable. I do a lot of business on the golf course, so it's important for me to feel healthy out there.

I've been going to ADIO about once a week for about 2 months now. I just played a golf tournament and I felt I could have played another 18 holes! I also play softball and work out and my back has been feeling so much better.

Dr Mike is a great doctor, and enjoys working with people in sports. I've always been a skeptic as far as chiropractic, but I'm convinced its helped me out a lot.

My business partner Katherine Olsen (Olsen & Layne Re/Max) and I meet people in various businesses daily, and Dr. Mike stood out as being extraordinary from the beginning.

Initially, I was impressed when I heard of his outreach programs. He has traveled to third world countries and offered care to the less fortunate. Locally, he monitors and advises students from the local high schools who are active in sports. These along with many other programs he offers, makes him stand out above the rest.

I would gladly refer his services from the outstanding care that I have personally received. In October I was in a car accident, Dr. Mike made himself available to see me immediately. He really seemed to care what I had just been through. I was grateful to have a professional treat me with compassion.

The first time I met Dr. Mike was away from his office... I could not stand straight if I wanted to, and I could not stay on my feet for a long period of time. I was fortunate that Dr. Mike brought his mobil table and evaluated and adjusted me right there on the spot. I felt straighter and was able to walk without much pain.....I really needed to be adjusted.

Since then, I have been to his office many times.....I felt that after what he had done for me the first time we met, my back was only going to be better......and it did. I used to think that I only needed to see a chiropracter when I was twisted and in pain.....now, I go for preventative maintenance that keeps me away from my breaking point, and I have not gone out of whack since.

There is no need to be worried or tense when you see Dr. Mike...he communicates to you in such a way, you understand and relax...the facilities and staff are great and definitely add to the whole experience......ask him for a ride on the shiatsu bed, and you'll leave feeling refreshed and alive!

Thanks Dr. Mike

PROS: Knowledgeable, Effective, and Professional...on top of his game

In 2002 I was in a car accident in Santa Monica. A friend recommended Dr. Mike Dorausch at ADIO Chiropractic and I was so glad she did. I had an accident several years prior and went to a chiropractor but the experience was much different.

My first priority was to get well and I was really stressed about the whole situation. In "Dr. Mikes" office I was taken care of like part of a family. They handled all the insurance related stuff. The office made the calls to my agent and the other guys agent, and they handled everything right until my care was done.

I was going 3 times a week for about a month and a half and then they saw me less after that. They taught me exercises, stretches and good ways to sleep, all things I didn't know before. When I was all done they made sure both insurance companies were contacted and they sent in all the paperwork. I remember telling Dr. Mike once how stressed I was about being in traffic coming home from work. He told me that was important to share with him and he put it in his chart. He reminded me to keep track of not only how I felt physically, but how I felt emotionally, and to tell him so he could include it in the final report. After paying for my chiropractic I ended up getting paid more than $2600 from the insurance company and they also had paid for the car and my rental. The last time I got in an accident I had an attorney recommended by the chiropractor I went to and I got like $600, and still felt crappy.

I still go to get adjusted now whenever I feel I need a tune up. I could not have been happier with the job they did. Five stars for putting patients first.

ADIO Chiropractic is an awesome place to take your whole family and all of your friends. Dr. Mike is friendly and approachable - he loves to answer all my questions and really makes me feel at home in the office. I've learned a lot about the importance of regular chiropractic care since I've been going to the office over the past year and a half. The location is great, a small shopping center with lots of free parking. Dr. Mike works with everyone to make sure they can afford to receive regular care. I've told several of my friends about him and they've all been happy with the care they've received as well as the cost. Nothing beats a friendly, affordable, neighborhood chiropractor. Thanks Dr. Mike!

PROS: Affordable; Flexible Hours; Fun place to be!

For adjustments, ADIO Chiropractic rocks!

When I first started going to ADIO Chiropractic I was still a student and Dr. Mike worked with me so I could afford to come in whenever I needed an adjustment. I used to call it a "crack" but he always reminded me it's called an adjustment. I played football all through high school and college so chiropractic care for me has been huge in keeping me healthy and injury free.

I get adjustments two or three times a week. It's like getting a triple shot espresso at Starbucks! Dr. Mikes energy is always up and it comes through in his chiropractic.

What I love most is I don't take medications, rarely ever get sick, and recovery from my workouts is faster than ever.

There always seems to be something going on in the office. Just last month they had a guessing contest, I think with peanuts, and they gave away pillows, an iPod, and other stuff. I did not win, arghh, but I'm still giving them 5 stars. Thanks for keeping me in line! Ha Ha.

PROS: Great Adjustments / Open Monday - Friday till 7pm
CONS: Traffic getting there (but that's all of LA)
