Thank you for visiting Wellness22 Chiropractic Health. I'm West Hills and San Fernando Valley Chiropractor, Dr. Craig S. Ross. My staff and I are committed to providing you with family chiropractic health care beyond ordinary chiropractic - starting with Neuro Cranial Integration (NCi), a highly effective form of Chiropractic Cranial, and applying other brain-based therapies.
Neuro Cranial Integration (NCi) is a revolutionary technique that aligns the cranial bones and brain hemispheres from the inside out and from the top down. The re-alignment takes tension off the nervous system, releases cranial, fascial and muscle tissue fixations, and returns proper cerebrospinal fluid flow throughout the spine and entire body.
The brain is the master regulator of every organ and hormone in the body. The brain, along with the spinal cord, make up the body's central nervous system (80 percent of the nerves in your body originate in the brain). This makes up the major control network for the body's functions and abilities. It is what gives humans the ability to move, think, talk, digest, and function in nearly every way.
In many patients there is an immediate change. With long-standing conditions, it can take longer. There are many factors involved in recovery - how long you have had the condition, and how you take care of your body once the treatment is given. There is usually a need for return visits; however you are a participant in all decisions regarding your care.

Here's the short of it: I was diagnosed with MS 8 years ago. I have numbness in both hands, suffer from bouts of fatigue, and have varying degrees of weakness in both eyes depending on how tired I am. Also, for years, I would experience a pinched nerve like sensation down both arms for months at a time due to exercise (this is common among people with MS).
After a month or so the pain would go away on its own, however, that was no longer the case a year ago when I started taking medication to control the constant pain. It was now a normal thing I thought I had to deal with for the rest of my life. Initially, I went to see Dr. Ross to see if I could regain some of the energy I lost to keep pace with the lifestyle I wanted to live, and though the results were not overnight, I have to admit I feel better now than I did before.
At first, after each session, I would walk away feeling more upbeat and a little more energized, but I had chalked that up to the deep neck stretch of the NCI treatment and Dr. Ross' kind, calm approach to wellness. It wasn't until I realized that my pinched nerve (or whatever you want to call it) was gone that I first noticed the therapy was working.
Since then I've slowly been able to integrate more upper body strength training to my regime and that alone has given me more energy throughout my day. Anyone who battles MS understands that more energy means a better outlook on life and less earth shattering depression. Out of all the therapies I've spent money on to try and beat this thing, and there have been many, Dr. Ross' therapy has been by far my best investment.

I blew out my lower back and couldn't sit or move my head. I called Dr. Ross for the first time and he was willing to squeeze me in at the last minute. After just one session, my back felt much better and the next day, I was already pain free! Would definitely go back soon to treat my other chronic pains.

Dr. Ross is amazing! He has helped me for years with chronic back pain and weight loss. He truly cares about his patients and their well being and everyone is catered to differently based on their individual needs and not blanketed treatment. I have recommended many people to him and will continue to sing his praises as my pain over the years has become almost non existent and I feel better than ever!

I was introduced to Dr. Ross by a friend who had serious issues due to a car accident and heard he only took very serious cases. I wasn't sure of the extent of my pain but I had chronic pain from a horse accident years prior and it got to the point of being debilitating, I was crying most every night for months before. After the first session, he did a unique technique I had never experienced before and that cleared up 85% of my problems.
I continued to go the next few weeks and felt better and better. Though I loved the results, I was running out of funds/insurance. Flash forward a year later, I was involved in a hit and run while visiting home, New Orleans. Immediately, I called Dr. Ross and he had just moved into his new Santa Monica office and said to come as soon as I got back in town.
One adjustment again and my headache and shoulder from earlier injury was alleviated. I am able to do yoga again, swim and work at a physical job again, thanks to Dr. Ross' I like to call "magical treatment". One visit and you'll see what I mean. Seriously, he's that good. He's asked to speak about his treatment "down under" as I've researched his work, he is the real deal. Do yourself a favor to at least check him out.

Dr. Ross started treating my chronic back pain over 6 months ago. I have protruding disks that was causing the pain. In addition, I have seen multiple physicians and even had several cortisone shots to alleviate the pain - they did not work. Dr. Ross' treatments helped me with the disks. I have not had another MRI yet but I can tell that there has been a lot of improvement.
The pain is gone. Now we are working on my hip - which I damaged. Movement of my hip has also improved and continues to improve every week. Dr. Ross also provides NCi treatments which for me has improved my overall health as well. My husband started to see Dr. Ross for his back pain and for his essential tremors. His back pain is also gone and there have been improvements in his nervous system.
What I like best about Dr. Ross is that he has a wide range of interests. This allows him to look at a problem and come up with multiple treatments and to modify a treatment process to maximize it's impact. He looks at my condition from a dietary, mental, and physical view point.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ross for many years, and have been in many accidents. When I was 12 years old I was in a boating accident and when I learned to walk again I walked on my toes. When Dr. Ross starting treating me with his new Cranial treatment I noticed something was different however I wasn't sure what it was right away. When I realized what it was, I was walking flat, very impressive.
Due to walking on my toes they also started to curl and this technique improved that as well. I also suffer with rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. Recently my husband was diagnosed with 2 bulging disc causing him to have a pinched nerve in his neck, I called Dr. Ross and we made arrangements with him to drive from AZ. for him to treat Rick. Not only did Dr. Ross treat him but he also treated him on his own time. Dr. Ross is not only a great DR. but he does the best he can to help everybody whenever he is needed. Dr. Ross has helped us out tremendously, I would highly recommend him, and he can also help you! Thank you DR. ROSS!

I was introduced to Dr. Ross by a good friend who is severely particular about his healthcare providers. I knew from the moment I entered the office, even though it was temporary at the time, that I was in very capable hands. Dr. Ross is nothing if not the utmost professional and educated chiropractor I have ever met. His knowledge of alternative modalities and approaches to healing are a refreshing and surprising change of pace and his kind and gentle demeanor is welcomed with open arms in a city where chiropractic adjustments are louder and scarier than a visit to the dentist or a day stuck in traffic on the 405.
I highly recommend those with a sever aversion to drug pushing doctors, cracking chiropractors and narrow-minded eastern medicine-avoiding health care professionals to run, not walk to your next appointment with Dr. Ross. You will be a convert, like myself. :
