Dr. Matt Asks some important questions of interest to Ventura residents - Chiropractor Ventura Dr. Matt Asks...

How come medical doctors don't recommend chiropractic?
That's changing. Years of prejudice and bias are giving way to research showing the benefits of chiropractic care. As more and more Ventura folks seek alternatives to drugs and surgery, more and more medical practitioners are referring their patients to chiropractors.
Which organs are extra?
You don't have any spare parts. Sure, we can survive without our tonsils, appendix, gall bladder and several other tissues, but each serves a purpose. We chiropractors recognize this. So the chiropractic approach I use in Ventura is to reduce nerve interferences to the control and regulation of every tissue, organ and system of your body.

Our Chiropractic Techniques

We use a number of highly-effective adjusting approaches to help improve spinal biomechanics and reduce nervous system interference. The approach we use is based on our judgment and years of experience.

The primary adjusting techniques we use include:

Massage Therapy

As you lie on the table under crisp, fresh sheets, hushed music draws you in the moment.  The smell of lavender fills the air and you hear the gentle sound of massage oil being warmed in your professional massage therapist's hands.  The pains of age, the over-worked and over-stressed muscles all cry out for therapeutic hands to start their work.  Once the session gets underway, the problems of the world fade into a relaxing 60 minutes of relief and all you can comprehend right now is not wanting it to end.  Massage is not just a luxury, but rather a means of decreasing stress and increasing overall wellness.

If you’ve been to a chiropractor before and prefer to be adjusted in a particular way, let Dr. Leonard know. We want you to relax, enjoy and fully benefit from your chiropractic care.
