Swedish Massage
Deep Tissue Massage
I had pinched nerves and stiffness in my back and neck on and off for years. The pain ranged from tolerable to sometimes severe. I found seeing doctors a waste of time, except for deep tissue massage which was somewhat helpful. I took ibuprofen sometimes but was worried about the health of my liver. I had tried several chiropractors with mixed results.

Chiropractic Services

Chiropractic Adjustments
In my 35+ years in chiropractic practice, I have treated hundreds of pregnant women at all stages of pregnancy. Many women have spinal and pelvic imbalances that existed long before they became pregnant but did not cause any symptoms until the changes of advancing pregnancy unfolded. In some women symptoms such as low back pain or sciatica show up early in pregnancy as hormonal changes take place, and in others much later when physical and structural stresses of more advanced pregnancy accumulate. Other common symptoms that may occur during pregnancy and often respond to chiropractic adjustments include neck pain, middle back pain and numbness in one more more extremities.
Stretching
Subluxation
Sometimes the cause is obvious. If someone is standing on your toe, or if you put your hand in water that is too hot, the pain gives you immediate feedback and a demand to take action to protect yourself from further injury. However, the message your body is sending when you are in pain is not always easy to understand. Consider the most common painful conditions in today’s world—headache and back pain. There are many possible reasons why people suffer from these conditions. Some causes are very rare but very dangerous, such as tumors or infections in the brain or spine. Others are extremely common, and not as urgent, but important to identify and correct. These include improper diet, poor posture, unresolved emotional stress, poor muscle conditioning (due to lack of or inappropriate exercise), and faulty spinal joint movement (subluxation). While these common causes usually do not pose an imminent danger, if left uncorrected they can eventually lead to more serious and possibly irreversible health problems.
Manipulation Therapy
Neck pain --In a Randomized controlled trial, 183 patients with neck pain were randomly allocated to manual therapy (spinal mobilization), physiotherapy (mainly exercise) or general practitioner care (counseling, education and drugs) in a 52-week study. The clinical outcomes measures showed that manual therapy resulted in faster recovery than physiotherapy and general practitioner care. Moreover, total costs of the manual therapy-treated patients were about one-third of the costs of physiotherapy or general practitioner care.
Myofascial Therapy
Flexion Distraction Therapy
Another study demonstrating effectiveness of chiropractic care for chronic back pain —In a study also published in Spine, researchers evaluated 192 patients with chronic lower back pain (most of them had pain for over a year). The patients were divided into three groups. One group received traditional side-lying chiropractic adjustments—just twice weekly for two weeks. The second group had chiropractic “flexion-distraction” therapy (a form of hands on movement traction), again twice weekly for two weeks. The third had no treatment. Both of the chiropractic treatment groups demonstrated significant improvement after just four visits compared to the non-treated group. It was noted that typical recommended chiropractic treatment for chronic back pain is 12 visits over four to six weeks, which would be likely to result in further and more lasting improvement.
Applied Kinesiology
Dr. Mha Atma has attended hundreds of hours of postgraduate seminars and workshops in subjects such as Applied Kinesiology, chiropractic orthopedics, motion palpation, yogic healing, exercise rehabilitation and nutrition. He loves his work more than ever and is deeply grateful for the opportunity to help others find health and balance in their lives. He and his wife, Martha, have been married since 1973 and have three grown-up children.
Holistic Chiropractic Care
He graduated in 1978 and started his practice in his living room in 1979, moving soon to a one room upstairs office nearby. Khalsa Chiropractic moved to its current location on San Vicente Blvd. in Los Angeles in the Fall of 1980. During all the years and decades since Dr. Mha Atma has experienced an ever-deepening appreciation for the human body’s remarkable ability to heal itself with the support of holistic chiropractic care.
Acupressure
She brings fifteen years of experience (as of 2014) into her practice and offers a therapeutic massage blending a flowing Swedish massage and Deep Tissue massage with Acupressure, Myofascial Release, and lots of positive energy. She has several certifications in several other modalities that she combines to create a unique and personal synthesis for each individual session.
Acupuncture
The January/February 2008 issue of The Spine Journal, the official journal of the North American Spine Society, contains a comprehensive review of chronic lower back pain and research regarding the many treatment approaches for this single most expensive cause of pain and disability in all working-age adults. The project leaders were Dr. Scott Haldeman of the Department of Neurology at UC Irvine, widely acknowledged as an international leader in this field, and Dr. Dimon Dagenais of the Department of Epidemiology and Community Medicine at the University of Ottawa in Canada. They criticize the “supermarket approach” to treating lower back pain, with over 200 different treatments offered to back pain sufferers trying to decide which one to choose, like wandering through the aisles of a supermarket. These include over 60 different drugs as well as exercises, massage, physical therapy, psychological approaches, injections, and surgery, plus “alternative therapies” that include chiropractic, acupuncture, and nutrition.
