Dr. Mike has been a polymathic skeletal magician for our entire family for the last 8 years. He has consistently addressed back and body problems big and small with nuance, care, and incredible skill that he draws from a vast and always growing knowledge base—in fact I know no other healer like him, which always makes it hard to leave LA. We first came to see him when our child was born after a traumatic birth, and Dr. Mike worked on him in the first 10 days of his life, improving (via gentle post-natal chiropractic methods) our child’s jaw position and mobility, thus increasing our kid's ability to latch while nursing and connect with his mom. (Our child knows this story, loves him, and always wants to come in and see Dr. Mike.) We have since seen him consistently as a family—and whatever we bring to him body-wise, he is able to positively impact. When we come in—even after a trip or a move—he immediately knows us and our ongoing spinal ailments, and approaches whatever is currently going on with extremely perceptive and frank healing plans. From what I can tell, he has an encyclopedic memory but more that that, he tunes in to what each person’s body is saying and his adjustments always make an immediate and lasting improvement. Lastly--the community ethic he creates is abundantly clear when you walk in the office. This is more than a chiropractic office, and Dr. Mike is more than a chiropractor. No one has helped my back more—I might be a zealot, but I’m a Dr. Mike patient for life!

Best to start before you have a problem. Just feeling tired or not quite right that’s how it all begins. Went to Dr. Mike and got my adjustments was feeling great. Had to go about a year without seeing him. One evening my back just went out no warning or anything I could barely walk. Every movement was painful. It’s been about a week and with lots of rest and adjustments my back is almost straight and I’m moving with a lot less pain. He also gives suggestions on what to do and not do moving forward so this doesn’t happen again. I think for me monthly visits are a must going forward. Go see Dr. Mike you won’t regret it!

I owe DR. MIKE everything. I came to him with years of break dancing and sports injuries. I wouldn't be walking with a Kane today if I had never been treated. Something like 10 yrs it what it took for me to heal completely because i consisted in getting re injured over and over. My bad but thank you DR.MIKE! Haven't been back in over 15 yrs but im back to breaking bones as I'm a skater in my late 40s but also a line cook.

Those of you that don’t know Dr. Mike DeNapoli of Pasadena Family Chiropractic you should. I’ve been going to Dr. Mike for 35 years now. I live in Hawaii. Every time I fly into Los Angeles I get adjusted by him. About 20 years ago, I lived back in LA for a couple of years and would go to see him regularly and he was always amazing. He was terrific with my daughter and my new grandson 11 years ago from baby till now. And he adjusts the family dog too. Anything with a spine even snakes he can adjust. He’s one of those knowledgeable, rare individual's who’s a master at what he does. I’m honored to know him and have him work on me. I just had a double hip replacement last year after not being able to walk for three years. I went to see him for the first time in a year traveling here last week and he set my neck and my hips as I am able to walk again from the surgery. I just got adjusted again today. My neck and hips feel better. I feel fantastic so if you live in the LA area or even if you don’t and you come into LA get to Dr. Mike I promise you you will not be disappointed. Sincerely, and with blessings, Ivy West

I started seeing Dr. Mike about four months ago. My sister-in-law had been raving about him for years, but it wasn't until my younger sister went in with severe pain due to sciatica that I took notice. She went from struggling to get out of bed to walking pain-free. The back pain I had been experiencing for years was gradually worsening, but I was still too stubborn to seek proper care. It wasn't until I started doubling over in severe pain that I decided it was time to make an appointment with Dr. Mike. The first thing I noticed when I walked into his office was the family-friendly environment, mainly due to the presence of many kids all waiting for their turn on the adjustment tables. His laid-back demeaner puts the kids at ease but don't let the groan-worthy dad jokes fool you; Dr. Mike is a consummate professional. His office is often quite busy due to his high demand. People aren't his only clients; he is also known to treat cats, dogs, and other furry creatures After a few visits, he took x-rays and went over each section clearly with me. He explained subluxation and tried to identify the root cause of my pain. He explained how my body was out of alignment and how an adjustment would help. He also clarified that the goal was to make me as close to pain-free as possible. He mentioned that it would take time, so I shouldn't expect instant relief. In some cases, he cautioned, it might even feel worse before it gets better. I intentionally held off on writing a review until I felt tangible results. The first few months weren't easy, but now, three-plus months later, I can honestly say that I feel a noticeable improvement. I still experience occasional pain, but thanks to Dr. Mike, it is much better.
