A Doctor Who Actually Listens

After completing his Doctorate of Chiropractic, Dr. Chen pursued advanced training in spinal decompression therapy, Graston Technique, and sports rehabilitation. Today, Westside Chiropractic serves patients ranging from professional athletes and serious competitors to desk workers and expectant mothers.

What sets Dr. Chen apart is a relentless focus on root cause. Every treatment plan begins with a thorough examination, diagnostic imaging when indicated, and a frank conversation about your options. No long-term contracts. No protocols. Just an honest assessment and a plan that works.

Our Philosophy

Care Built Around You

Every patient is a diagnosis, not a condition. Every plan is built from scratch.

01 — Diagnose

Thorough Diagnosis

Every new patient receives a complete consultation, postural analysis, orthopedic and neurological exam, and digital X-rays when clinically indicated. We don’t guess.

02 — Treat

Targeted Treatment

Your care plan addresses your specific diagnosis — not a generic protocol. Dr. Chen combines the most effective techniques for your condition and your goals.

03 — Track

Measurable Progress

Objective outcomes are tracked at every visit. If something isn’t working, the plan changes. You will always know where you stand and what comes next.

New Patients

What to Expect at Your First Visit

1

Consultation & History

A detailed conversation about your pain, health history, lifestyle, and goals. This visit takes roughly 60 minutes — because getting it right matters more than getting it done quickly.

2

Physical Examination

Dr. Chen performs a thorough musculoskeletal exam including range-of-motion testing, postural assessment, and neurological screening.

3

Diagnosis & Report of Findings

We explain exactly what we found, what it means, and what we recommend — in plain English. You leave with a diagnosis, not a mystery.

4

First Treatment

Many patients receive their first adjustment the same day. You will feel the difference before you leave.

5

Your Care Plan

A realistic, goal-based plan with a clear timeline and expected milestones. No pressure. No long-term contracts.
