The Joint Chiropractic, Santa Monica

The Joint Chiropractic has a simple mission: 'to improve people's lives with routine and affordable chiropractic care.' Their team of skilled chiropractors seeks to help the roughly 80% of the population that experiences back pain at some point with adjustments where chiropractors perform a series of swift motions that realign all those intricate moving parts—usually with their hands but sometimes with a small device to help work on bones and soft tissue. They also operate on an appointment-free basis, helping to ensure that people can receive treatment despite busy schedules, and membership programs help to keep costs low.
