about us
According to recent statistics, the average length of an office visit is now just around 10 minutes.

Your Back Doctor, Dr. James S. Factor, doesn't believe 10 minutes is enough time to effectively diagnose and treat people with accute or chronic back pain.

At our offices, our commitment is to you, our patient, not to third party health care providers.

chartContrary to the national trend, at our offices we:
  • Spend an average of 30-45 minutes per patient. In addition to any necessary adjustments, each patient is treated to a minimum of 15 minutes of soft tissue massage. More time spent with each patient allows the doctor time to get to know each patient personally and more time to diagnose problems that may not be immediately evident.
  • Have a staff of doctors who are highly trained in the treatment of acute and chronic conditions of the spine and extremities. Led by Dr. James S. Factor, D.C., previously an assistant professor at Cleveland Chiropractic College - Los Angeles, our staff is committed to staying current in the latest Chiropractic techniques available.
  • Provide an affordable option to managed care. For less than you might pay for a massage, you can receive the benefit of gentle chiropractic care — just $60 for most visits.
Take your health seriously. Call the office of Dr. James Factor at (818) 419-4651.
We value our patients’ health, and we will take the time to get you better.

James S. Factor, D.C.

James S. Factor, D.C.As someone who has experienced back surgery himself, Dr. Factor has spent nearly a decade developing techniques to alleviate - and in some cases eliminate - his patients' chronic back and neck pain. Though insurance company reimbursements have been declining over the past several years, forcing many doctors to, likewise, cut the treatment they are able to provide their patients, Dr. Factor refuses to compromise his patients' care. Providing sometimes as much as 30 minutes of massage and relaxing heat treatments to the muscles of the back before any manipulation, Dr. Factor's treatments are almost a spa treatment for your spine.
