  • The Waiting Room

    Although we try to run on time for all our patient appointments, there are times when you may have to wait a few minutes before your scheduled appointment. If that happens, we encourage you to relax in our waiting room and read a book, chat with another patient or just sit and enjoy the Jazz music playing in the background while you briefly wait for your doctor or therapist.

  • Spinal Decompression

    The Center for Health and Longevity, a leading provider of non-surgical spinal decompression therapy in Santa Monica, uses a decompression table that allows the patient to lie comfortably while the table gently stretches the spine. Using a computer controlled program, the amount of force and the direction of the stretch is adjusted to each patients needs allowing for precise and individualized treatment.

  • Balance, Strength & Flexibility Training

    Improving your balance and stability as part of your treatment with us will equalize the strength of antagonistic muscle pairs – where one muscle contracts while the other muscle relaxes or lengthens – as well as greatly improve the  performance of smaller, stabilizing muscles necessary for more strenuous sports or activities. Following a consistent  balance training program will lead to greater strength in your larger strength training movements while providing greater stability due to your improved balance.
