There are chiropractors, good chiropractors, and then there’s Dr. Ken Erickson. The man is exceptional when it comes to chiropractic care, and that’s not just the back-related stuff. He can take care of pretty much any musculoskeletal problem that ails you. Brilliant to a tee, he’s rarely ever stumped by a problem, and will not rest until he is able to deduce and solve your issue.
Let me give you an idea of the degree of awesomeness of this man. We in the TurboKick (TKB) community fondly refer to him as the Turbo Doc, because just about everyone who has an injury will make a beeline right for him ASAP. TKB is one of the most physically demanding exercise programs, with all the twisting, turning, jumping, kicking, booty-shaking; all of which is buckets of fun, but threatens to throw your body out of whack. NOT TO FEAR: Dr. Ken will fix you right up!
Personally, I’ve gone to him for problems with my neck, lower back, shoulders, hip flexors, wrist, IT bands, and numerous foot problems; all of these have either been resolved, or are on the way to recovery. To attest to the fact that he is beyond amazing, he took a chiropractic disaster like myself, and made/kept me able enough to take on the Insanity workout too.
There is no doubt that whoever you are reading this, you should absolutely visit Dr. Ken. I could sit here all day and give you a million reasons, but that would just keep you from making your appointment, so stop reading this and MAKE YOUR APPOINTMENT NOW!!
From the very first appt I had with Dr Ken, I felt ‘at home’. As a health professional myself, it’s refreshing to not only speak the same language with someone who’s treating you, but to laugh the same humor is a bonus! Few doctors listen, laugh and love like Dr Ken. He has a crystal clear passion for his work and for helping others feel better by attentively exploring the body’s deficiencies and roadblocks through careful analysis of defective movement patterns and musculoskeletal imbalances. He not only ‘adjusts’, he uses Active Release Therapy to maneuver the nerves and muscles into a safe place for the bones to find their way back home to. He’s UNBELIEVABLY humble, in the sense that…I’m an X Pro soccer player and have experienced every kind of injury and trauma possible from ankle tears, to shoulder surgery, concussions and herniations. He’s constantly checking in to see how I feel and suggesting necessary ‘Goldilocks’ treatment – not too much, not too little, but juuuuuust right!
As a current yoga teacher, and yogi of 16 years, I’ve never felt my ‘up dogs’ so free. ie – my back bends are much more open and my body is opening up in ways I could have only dreamed years ago. I’m floating into handstands with ease, my body is doing things I could have only dreamed years ago. I’ve done a combination of spinal decompression (which is how I found Irvine Spine & Sport), massage therapy and adjustments over the past 3 years. The combination of treatments vs JUST adjusting is what sets ISS apart. They have TOP NOTCH massage therapists who listen and will dig in where your body needs maneuvering, esp old injuries. Breath through it and the reward will be a flexible more functional, less painful body! 🙂
And I’ve grown so close with Dr Ken, geeking out on the amazing innate ability of our bodies to heal, that he asked me to be a part of the team, as the in house nutritionist – specifically I’m a Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist, which means we use advanced labs to explore disfunction and imbalance in the body, from hormones to digestion, unpleasant skin to body pain, auto immune disease to IBS. These are labs not commonly offered by standard doctors, which is no surprise that Dr Ken was inclined to add this service to Irvine & Sports already exceptional level of services, staff and smiles!
I PROMISE you, your experience will be full of smiles and a new appreciation for and awareness of your body. Twombly and Parker are dolls too, everyone here is just SO REAL! 🙂 There’s a reason why they’re nearing the hundreds of 5 star reviews! I KNOW they’ll be happy to have you, and I would too! 🙂
I have been very happy with the services provided to me at this location. The staff is friendly and always very helpful. The facility is clean and well maintained inside and out.
Most of all I really have a great doctor/patient relationship with Dr. Erickson. He has been my chiropractor for over eight years now and has been instrumental in keeping me pain free with his adjustments and guidance. I have had two car accidents and would not be in the shape I am in without his treatments.
Dr. Erickson is very well informed and answers questions thoroughly. Also, Chris, the massage therapist was phenomenal! The staff was extremely helpful and friendly!
I don’t know why I waited so long to see Dr. Erickson . I suffered for months with hip pain. I felt relief from that first visit, and am following up with routine tune-ups from here on out.
Fantastic. I’m very impressed with how much Dr. Erickson knows about the way parts of the body interact with each other.
I love going and seeing Dr. Erickson, because I always feel so great afterwards. I usually get pretty bad headaches from all the tension and stress that accumulates on my shoulders, back and neck. Once he does his magic with the chiropractic adjustment/alignment I feel new and my headaches are gone for a good 3 to 6 months. The massage therapy is great too. The staff is friendly and will ask you about the pressure of if anything will make you more comfortable.
Love Dr. Erickson and Victor and the massage therapist are great too.
Dr. Erickson is a master of his profession. He listens, analyzes, explains, and puts into a motion a plan that helps you become pain free. I have referred many family members and friends to them. They all just love how he has helped them heal. The staff is friendly and professional. If you have to see a chiropractor, you won’t want to pass this full-service, professional group!
Good service. very caring and my health improves with the adjustments and tips that I received from the Dr. Erickson
I LOVE GOING HERE. DR. Erickson is GREAT!!!!!
Always receive great care from Dr. Erickson and massage therapists great as well.
Dr. Erickson keeps me alive! He is very personable, and listens to me carefully. Also, he has a surprising breadth of knowledge about the human body and what ails it. When Dr. Erickson is not available, I also feel comfortable consulting his colleagues. Each has his own style, but all are effective.
Dr. Erickson always determines the right treatment for me and makes sure I feel better as soon as possible.
