Unlike conventional medicine, which focuses on attempting to treat disease once it occurs, Renee J. Gordon, DC emphasizes improving your health in an effort to reduce the risk of pain and illness in the first place. Most people would rather be healthy and avoid illness, if they could.

Dr. Renee Gordon takes great pride in providing the finest chiropractic care to her patients. She believes in educating her patients about their health and chiropractic, and offers options regarding treatment, recovery and improved health and function. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services offered in her office.
Kinesiology ( kih-nee'-see-awl'-oh-jee) is defined by Merriam-Webster as the study of the principles of mechanics and anatomy in relation to human movement. Simply, it is the study of how the body moves and how your muscles pull your bones. Applied Kinesiology draws on many of the same principles creating a powerful system of diagnosing a condition, which utilizes the art and science of muscle testing to obtain information from your body. During the 1960s, Dr. George Goodheart of Detroit, Michigan, found that he could evaluate normal and abnormal body functions using muscle testing.
Diversified Technique is the classic chiropractic adjustive technique, developed by D.D. Palmer, the "father" of chiropractic medicine, and one of the primary adjusting methods that Dr. Gordon uses during her treatments. The focus of the technique is the restoration of normal biomechanical function by correcting malpositioning of the bones of the spine. Once a malposition, or subluxation, is identified, a specific manual thrust is administered, with a very specific direction, speed, depth and angle.

I recently had the misfortune of sleeping wrong on my couch and had an aching back. I visited Dr. Gordon and after doing some quick testing she determined that my pelvis was out of alignment. She proceed to make some quick adjustments, had my lie on blocks and then iced me. Within 30 minutes my back felt amazing! Thanks Dr. Gordon!

Dr. Gordon started practicing on my husband years ago for his lower back pain due to a long commute. Her applied kinesiology approach to pain relief is holistic and takes into account the entire body. I started seeing Dr. Gordon regularly this year and not only have my migraines subsided, but I also have seen a significant restoration in my pelvic floor (post baby issues), a drastic improvement in posture and core stability and an overall increase in strength and flexibility. Highly recommend the MAGICAL services of Dr. Gordon to alleviate any and all concerns of the body and to restore your movement and vitality. Thank you, Dr. Gordon!

Dr. Renee has been treating myself & my family for about 10 years. The great part about this is that we walk in with an injury, pain or ailment, and we leave either pain free (yes she has performed several miracles for us over the years) OR she gives us a comprehensive plan on how she will get us pain or illness free. She believes in working with us to heal our various issues & educates us on what to do at home & what we can do to prevent future problems.
She truly cares & wants what is best for us. She is incredibly knowledgeable and is not your typical back cracking chiropractor. With her specialty she can treat almost anything and doesn't even have to crack if you don't want that! I send everyone I know to her no matter what their issue. She can work with all patients & all diagnoses. You will not be disappointed!

I am thrilled to have found Dr. Renee Gordon. Within two visits, Dr. Gordon's Applied Kinesiology approach worked for me, eliminating the pain I was experiencing from re-injuring my old neck and back whiplash conditions that had resulted from several car accidents many years ago. Dr. Gordon utilizes very gentle techniques that are extremely effective.
She has a caring nature and is so knowledgeable about the interconnections of the body. I found her extremely well-trained, professional, caring and highly ethical. She is a problem solver, for sure. We worked on other issues too that had me out of balance. I also love her holistic approach that figures out the cause of pain, why there is a lack of energy and how the body needs to be properly aligned for good health. And best of all, she improves things for you. Need I say more except Dr. Renee Gordon is a gem to treasure?

I've been coming here for years! I always get right in and out which works best for my work. Dr. Gordon has helped me with my shoulder and neck issues and is amazing! I definitely would recommend this office. I've come in to the office not being able to move my neck in pain and have left with full movement and feeling fine.

If you are pregnant or have had a baby and are experiencing any kind of back discomfort, do yourself a favor and see Dr. Gordon. She saved me! I wish I hadn't wasted money and time going to the Four Seasons getting massages for my back pain. I saw Dr. Gordon on a day that if I moved an inch, I thought my back was going to break. The pain was excruciating. 45 minutes with Dr. Gordon and I was walking, bending and breathing pain free! She really is amazing and knows her stuff.

I had strained my back and wanted to see a chiropractor. I was searching the internet when Shahrzad called (i believe her review is up here also) I told her what i was doing and she recommended DR Gordon. At first I was skeptical I am a really big guy about 6"'1" 300 pounds at the time and well Dr Gordon is a Woman. I made the appointment anyway.
I was tired of searching. When I saw Dr Gordon there was something about her that really mad me feel comfortable. She started doing muscle testing and I was very intrigued by her technique and in seconds it was obvious she knew what she was doing. When I walked out of there I felt so much better and had the best day not being troubled with the pain that would so often keep me frowning.

I first visited Dr. Gordon while I was pregnant with my second child. I had never experienced any sort of back issues and I was suddenly hit with lower back and sciatic pain, it was awful. I was extremely pleased to find that Dr. Gordon is certified in the Webster technique for pregnancy which instantly put my mind and body at ease, but her approach in finding the source of the problem and the gentile technique in which she corrects the issues made me feel so fantastic that I kept coming back each week.
When I got up off of the table after my first visit, the pain was gone and I felt lighter, like I could be on my feet all day! I know for a fact that I had such an easy delivery and recovery because of my visits to Dr. Gordon. I would recommend Dr. Gordon to everyone, especially if you are pregnant.even if you are not experiencing any pain, the adjustments will make you feel so much better while you carry your little one.

Dr. Gordon is a lifesaver. I've had many different issues over the years, lower back, legs, knees, arms, wrists, shoulders, ribs and neck to name a few. Some of these were very painful, some moderately so. Some were caused by work, clumsy falls or just being out of shape and aging. It may take one time or a handful of times to take care of each problem, but eventually, Dr. Gordon relieves and cures each problem.
On the rare occasion she thinks I have something that needs a physician's care rather than chiropractic, she will tell me. Prior to Dr. Gordon becoming a chiropractor, I also had much success with another AK (applied kinesiology), but when she retired I waited a few years until I could find another AK chiropractor and one that is more caring and gentle. Thank goodness for Dr. Gordon. I highly recommend her for any chiropractic issues needed for you, your family and friends.

I went to Dr. Gordon for the first time a couple of years ago and she really helped me with one problem in particular and how to prevent that problem from occurring again. I've always liked chiropractic and I've been to several chiropractors. What Dr. Gordon does is different than what others do. Her approach is very gentle. When I first went to her, I was having a hard time walking becasue of the pain in my leg and foot.
I was significanlty better after one visit. I ended up having a few visits for that problem and with maintenace it had never come back. I reccommend her to all my friends that talk about injuries or pain or even just maintaning great health.

It's rare that you find a medical practitioner that is truly gifted but Dr Gordon is one of them. You may not know about Applied Kinesiology but it's different than normal chiropractic, which I've also had (with no success). I first went to a very good Applied Kinesiologist in Santa Monica, who got me healed from a sports injury to about 80%.
I kept at that level until I saw Dr Gordon, who got me to 100%. At first I wasn't used to her method of AK so I resisted her a bit instead of just relaxing. Some of her muscle testing techniques seemed funky and I couldn't believe that they would do anything. But as a result, she was able to find the source of my problems in a very pinpointed fashion.
After only 3 or 4 treatments I could really tell the difference. Your situation may be more severe than mine so please don't use me as a benchmark for yourself. Once I was better, I saw her about 1x/month for general health. There's some controversy over chiropractors because people think they make you dependent on them. Do you fill your tires regularly?
Have the oil in your car changed regularly? Do you think you are irrationally 'dependent' on your mechanic? I'm not sure why we have this notion that bodies just run on their own with no need to counteract wear and tear through intervention. Monthly visits to Dr Gordon counteracted 60+ hours/week of compression on my spine from a sedentary job, plus driving.
She also helped me realize that the way I was getting in and out of my car was actually exacerbating my problem. We increased the time between appointments because I was able to keep my alignment better through more body awareness - exercises she showed me helped too, though I admit I was kind of sporadic there. I stopped regular appointments when I moved from Ventura to Orange County. However, I drive all the way from Irvine to see her when I have a problem (like I recently tweaked my back pretty badly by doing something dumb.) AK chiropractors are hard to find and finding someone skilled is important to me.

What makes Dr. Gordon better than any other Chiropractor I have used before is her thoroughness and attention to small details. I have been working with Dr. Gordon for a few years now. Her technique and expertise are first rate! She not only is able to help with the unexpected problems that pop up, but she has helped me maintain a more healthy life!
I would strongly recommend Dr. Gordon to anyone that is looking for quality chiropractic care and massage therapy! Thanks Dr. Gordon! Update: Just had Dr. Gordon help with a nagging hip problem and I feel SOOO MUCH BETTER! Thanks again Dr. Gordon!
