Santa Monica Chiropractor

Dr. Roy Nissim, a leading Santa Monica chiropractor and sports medicine expert, specializes in identifying the root causes of pain and dysfunction—not just treating symptoms. His approach focuses on long-term recovery so your visits become a thing of the past.

I view the human body as a living blueprint, where every restriction, imbalance, and motion tells a story. My process begins with a detailed assessment of movement patterns to uncover dysfunction. From there, I focus on restoring mobility, improving tissue pliability, and correcting biomechanical issues. The goal isn’t just relief—it’s resilience. When you move better, you live better.

Identify the Pain. Correct the Dysfunction. Reinforce the Movement.
