Our Team
Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and are also trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling. The most common therapeutic procedure performed by doctors of chiropractic is known as "spinal manipulation," also called "chiropractic adjustment." The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become lowing tissues to heal.

Alison Booth, L.Ac., Dipl.OM, is a licensed acupuncturist. She graduated summa cum laude from Emperor’s College in Santa Monica, CA with a master’s degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine. Acupuncture benefits many conditions, including: musculoskeletal pain, insomnia, headache, digestive issues, PMS, perimenopause symptoms, Bell’s palsy and neuralgia. It activates the parasympathetic nervous system to induce relaxation and gives the body a chance to rest and reset. Modalities employed include needling, cupping, e-stim, guasha, tui na, ear seeds and Frequency Specific Microcurrent(FSM). Because general health and wellness are maintained by the patient, not the practitioner, dietary and lifestyle tips are always included in the treatment. Mrs. Booth is a Los Angeles native. She graduated from USC, and spent a few years as a sushi chef before studying acupuncture. She enjoys watching grand sumo tournaments and Raiders football with her husband, Jay, and their cat.
