More than 1.5 billion people suffer from chronic pain worldwide. In the US, it impacts about 100 million adults, which is more than the number impacted by diabetes, heart disease, and cancer combined. It can be a challenging condition to treat because while some chronic pain is associated with an injury or disease, in other cases there is no initial event (such as a back injury, infection, arthritis, or cancer) that caused the pain. In some cases, pain may continue for weeks, months, or years without any clear cause.

Unsure about choosing our Torrance chiropractors or Palm Beach Gardens chirorpactors? Here are the 7 things to ask your next chiropractor or pain-relief specialist before you choose them to solve your problem. We know there are a lot of great doctors in the world that can service your health needs, the only advice we would give you in your quest to solve your nagging pain or health issue is to make sure the next doctor you choose can answer 'Yes' to the following questions.
We are in the network in Palm Beach Gardens and Torrance CA to fully support your insurance service needs covered by ILWU without costs to you. When I first opened my office in the South End Racquet and Fitness Club back in 1997 we were an all cash practice, accepting no insurance patients. The main reason why I did not take insurance back then was because I didn't know how to bill it out and I did not want to deal with all the paperwork involved with treating insurance patients as it took away from me focusing on patient care.
The Taylor method is a proprietary method of determining what is the root cause of the patient's problem, pain, or symptom. It is a comprehensive, holistic and natural approach to determine the cause of a problem by asking the right questions, performing a physical examination, doing a postural analysis, evaluating range of motion, performing orthopedic and neurological tests, using muscle response testing and other diagnostic tests which may or may not include a computerized three-dimensional foot scan, computerized postural analysis, autonomic nervous system and cardiovascular system testing with FDA approved technology, body composition analysis, lab testing (metabolic panel) and x-rays.

Doctor Taylor is an amazing chiropractor. He takes his time to get to know you and customizes a treatment based on your needs. I have never meet a doctor who genuinely cares so much about his patients as Doctor Taylor does. Very high tech equipment, awesome and friendly front office staff, family environment, great service. the list goes on and on. I highly recommend Taylor Chiropractic and Laser Center. I have found my chiropractor for life! Christina

I have been to Doc Taylor I think four times now and every time I leave I leave feeling a lot better than when I walked in. I have chronic pain in my back and neck from my time in the military, and I also just had shoulder surgery done recently. Going to this professional is simple and easy. I call, and the ladies at the front desk who answer are professional and able to answer my questions and get me an appointment when I prefer.
On the days leading up to the appointment, they'll send me a text reminding me of my upcoming appointment. When I get there, it's all smiles and "Good to see you, let's get you checked in" or a "welcome, Dr. Taylor will be with you momentarily". Then, when you see Doc Taylor, he's very personable, he asks what's the issue I'm coming in for, what I'm looking to get out of getting adjusted or any of the other options he has to help.
He tells me exactly what he's doing and the price up front so there's no surprises with the treatment or payment. Chiropractic practice is painful as he works on you, but when it's done, you feel like a new person! When I go in with shoulder or back issues, he'll adjust me, and immediately I'm able to move around better and have better range of motion.
Truly a master of his practice. Great experience through and through, from making the appointment to getting the work done. Come to this Doc if you have any ailments or any pain, it is worthwhile.

Honest review! I started coming here around December. Came here because I was getting something called costochondritis on my chest. I thought this would help, his YouTube video brought me there. Anyways the costochondritis treatment was working, the pressure wave alleviated my chest that though painful helped. Although there was one time that he hit me to hard actually hurt me even till this day my left upper breast hurts.
End of January everything was going good I almost had no symptoms, but they started giving me some messages with it, deep tissue. The women giving them to me was gentle and only stayed on my back and wasn't to aggressive. About mid January Taylor switched me off with someone else, I will not throw him under the bus but I know he was not specialized or experienced.
So my last day for crying out loud, I went, I felt great. Happy, I went in and again dr Taylor was not there, so they just sent me off to get messages, but this day was different, he massaged my back felt good but he also started aggressively messaging my neck, he said "oh man you got a knot in your neck" that was no knot that's my freaking neck nerves and bones.
After that day, the very next day my hand and foot goes numb on my right side. I ended up going to the ER and spinal doctors to see if they had tore a vein or something luckily everything is negative, but the spine doctor told me they could have gave me a whip lash associated with some pinching of the nerves. That was on feb4, it's now june1 and out of how bad I felt which was a 10 I still feel a 5, sometimes it's gone and sometimes it's there but it can last days.
I run my hand through the right side of my neck and it feels like a funny bone I'm touching and even my upper back. My symptoms were not only numbness but also tingling and coldness that stretched from my neck all the way down to my feet, not to mention the crazy pain I get on my neck. All I can do is pray, it's just something I have to wait out or maybe idk. I'm giving this a 1 stars because although they did give me good treatment for costo they ended up Fucking me up more.
Be careful when you come to chiropractors, also I would of stopped coming earlier than I did. But the reason I kept coming was because I was pressured to buy like 12 sessions of a package of over 3k. I should of just done session by session. I regret coming here. I wish I could go back in time. It's up to god now. The symptoms that I feel are not fun at all.
He has tried to get me in cause he knows they fucked up, but it's not working, there new electro magnetic machine does not work. Nothing he can do or say can help. I have come to admit that to myself. Sometimes I message him that I'm not feeling well, but I do that because I just want him to feel my pain. It fuckjng sucks. I was at least fine before.
You might say well it's just numbness and tingling. But this numbness affects when I walk, my foot goes even more numb or it can hurt after walking well under a mile I can't even run. I will Throw something else on here that now I know was from having him adjust my back. Around January as well I ended up going to the ER because my lower back was hurting near my kidneys.
The doctor said do you know what sciatica is? I said heck no I've never had this before. Your body is not meant to twist in certain ways it's just not. After those adjustments that's when I started getting that, so everything in combination has not helped me.

This is a review of Doc Hudson's character & integrity. Doc Hudson genuinely cares for his patients. I've know Doc Hudson for 15+ years, and I know he is devoted to excellence in his practice. He gets real joy out of helping people. He examines carefully and considers the holistic health of the patient. The office is welcoming and peaceful.

Dr. Taylor, and the entire staff, is so welcoming and very kind. I had been having some neck and back issues and though I was in need of a simple adjustment. However, on the day of my appointment, Dr. Taylor was bombarded with clients and my appointment had me waiting. but in the midst of him trying to get to every person, he had one of the other staff members put me on the hydro bed. AT NO CHARGE!
When I was finished in the hydro bed, he had me go into the exam room, and took the time to restate my concerns about my overall health and wellness. Asked about diet, and what I'd like to gain from the visit that day. He apologized multiple times for being behind, and even did an extra treatment to help my neck, again at no charge. He said, "If you were at a restaurant and had to wait they'd offer you free dessert." Which I appreciated very much, because in all honesty, my wait time wasn't any longer than 20 min behind.
And he had already made up that time with the hydro bed. Needless to say, I went back today, for my second appointment, and it went smoothly. I took their exam that they do to check my overall health, posture, BMI, and such, and when he told me the results, he asked me what I'd like to see in my way of healing. He didn't treat me like a payment, he treated me like a person.
He spoke of the various plans to help financially since my insurance doesn't cover chiropractic services. And when I told him I would need to discuss it with my husband, he resumed treatment and again took his time! He doesn't rush you in and out. He took the time to make sure that the pain i went in with had been treated. If you are suffering, physically and emotionally, go and visit Taylor Chiropractic, they help the whole body, not just the back.

I was in a car accident a few weeks ago, a friend referred me to Taylor Chiropractic, and I just want to say that Dr. Taylor and his staff are top notch! There was immediate relief after the first two visits. But the reason for this review is that a week ago, Dr. Taylor used his magic Shockwave Therapy machine on my very achy hips. The treatment was intense, but there was 99.9% less pain immediately post treatment.
I drove home in comfort! However, I wanted to wait until today to see what my pain level would be and I am delighted to report that the treatment brought me back to pre-accident levels. Dr. Taylor said that the treatment keeps on working for some time and I am looking forward reaping the continued benefits that this treatment has brought me. Thanks, Dr. Taylor and staff, see you soon!

Taylor Chiropractic & Laser Center came HIGHLY recommended to me by a huge group of athletes. I lead a very active life but experienced a very new & rare discomfort & decided to look into adjustments/cupping. The pain had completely subsided prior to my appt but I believe in preventative care and maintenance. Dr. Taylor's staff is incredible & extremely welcoming. Dr. Taylor was very attentive and I was both adjusted and got cupping therapy. I also tried the hydrotherapy massage! I left feeling relief/release and cannot wait to return for a full tune up. Safe, clean, welcoming, professional and so much more!

Derek Taylor has been a very unique experience compared to other chiropractors I've been to, from his very thorough explanation to what he's doing, to his modern equipment, I've had a bad shoulder since a car accident. His 2 sessions have been more helpful than the thousands of dollars I've spent on chiropractors simple massaging me. Worth every single dollar spent, and I know my arm/shoulder is worth than any dollar amount. Wish nothing but the best for Derek and his wonderful family.

Dr. Taylor and his son have both treated me and each time I leave feeling as though I've received the Cadillac treatment. At 49, my body's been through Triathlons, car accidents, whiplashes, emotional trauma, sports related aches and pains and mostly, copious amounts of stress, which is starting to show itself in my body in odd ways. What I thought was TMJ turned out to be emotional stress, which they cured in only 2 visits!
I had jolts of pain in my jaw, and it's now completely gone. My lower back hurts from whiplash, legs and hips from running and back and neck from emotional stress. Each session I'm treated to a variety of techniques like Kinesiology, chiropractic adjustments, emotional releases, cupping, water massage, diet assessment, electric stim and hard massage to work through old scar tissue.
Their staff are kind and professional. Dr. Taylor is extremely knowledgeable and treats your whole mind and body, a holistic approach that heals completely. I have already recommended him to friends for both physical and emotional healing.

Met with Doc Hudson Taylor. He was genuinely nice, professional and I was blown away by how thorough his assessment and treatment process were. Walked in with several areas of discomfort (chest, neck, and back) and walked out feeling major relief and an optimistic view of the future. Getting rid of pain and tension that builds up over the weeks, months, and years takes time and plenty of time and attention is exactly what you'll get if you visit Taylor chiropractic. Thanks Doc!

In addition to saving my life a decade ago when I had cancer, Dr. Taylor continues to keep me out of chronic pain and migraines. I live out of the area now. because he practices what he preaches, he was the only chiropractor I trusted that was open during quarantine.so I traveled several hours to benefit from his services once again. Worth every gold coin!

Met Dr. Taylor earlier this week at a networking meeting and he overheard me mentioning I had hip pain. He offered to evaluate the situation for me and to find the root cause. In a short time, he alleviated the pain and recommended a long-term treatment plan to address all my issues. I highly recommend Dr. Taylor and his team.

Dr Taylor is definitely a 5 star Chiropractor. He is the most honest and caring person you will ever meet. If he can't help you he will tell you. You can tell he really cares about his patients. I would highly recommend anyone that was having any Kind of pain to see him, before doing anything drastic.

Let's talk about it! The best Chiropractor in the South Bay. I came in cause my right shoulder was frozen and during my exam I informed them that I was not sleeping well also. Going to bed at 10pm waking up at 1230am and cleaning my house till 5am knowing that I have to get ready for work at 6am. Well let's talk about my frozen shoulder first and how after my 6 treatments with their class IV Laser has help my right shoulder bring back its range of motion.
They also introduced me to their Neurointegrative Therapy which is suppose to help me with my imbalanced brainwaves. I suffer from sleeplessness and also OCD. I had my first treatment back in May and I have to say that I sleep through the night now. I am able to watch a movie with out being fidgety. My husband is extremely happy with the results that I have had here cause now we are able to spend more quality time with out me getting up and cleaning. I recommend Taylor Chiropractic to everyone and anyone. Dr. Taylor and his team is truly amazing. They are their to listen and help you.
