Specialties

If you are seeking better health and peak performance, you’ve come to the right place. Doctor of chiropractic, David Manago, has treated tens of thousands of chiropractic patients since 1984. Manago Chiropractic solves all kinds of problems. We use gentle Chiropractic techniques, always, to get you out of pain and on with life.

Dr. Manago’s care relieves pain, helps to maintain your spine once the cause of the problem is corrected, improves your energy levels and overall health, and much more through exact spinal corrections.

We offer Light Force Adjustment: Gentle Healing

Most doctors use force to make Chiropractic adjustments. Dr. Manago uses 6 oz. of pressure to make adjustments and Thermography to find the irritation and determine when the spine is stabilized. This helps the body to get the most healing.

The patients love the treatment method because it is so gentle. And, once corrected, most people only need between 2 and 4 adjustments per year to maintain.

Call Us Now. We cannot get you out of pain until you reach out for our help. Get in touch with us today. Don’t delay.

This guy would not give my girlfriend her x-​rasuy she paid for unless she retuned them in 15 days. I told him «you do not want any more problems from the Chiropractic board like you had before when he was disciplined. He then agreed to give her the X-​rays but she still had to sign for them under duress, He is not a fair man and in my opinion. He would not give them to her until I got on the phone.

Horrible customer service. Very business oriented. Don’t personalize any treatments to the individual, they don’t take the time to get to know you and your situation and how they can accommodate or assist you better. Bathroom is a little dirty and has ants around sink and on walls and floor. Receptionist are very rude and blunt to their customers. Scheduling is difficult. Their hours are very limited.

I have been going to Manago Chiropractic since September now and have really noticed a difference. I was a little skeptical at first, but over time my spine has really gotten better. Everyone who works there seems very knowledgable about the treatment used.
after viewing my second X-​rays compared to the first X-​rays taken in September, my spine looks so much better. Unfortunately my hips are crooked so Dr. Manago suggested that I have leg X-​rays. I was happy to find out that he even had a solution for my hip problems and after putting a lift in my shoe from Manago Chiropractic, I have no more pain in my hips (popping and shooting pain all the way down to my knees) and the correction of my spine is speeding up.

Dr. Manago is an experienced and compassionate doctor for his patients, and is well-​versed in how to treat and properly document patients who have a pending personal injury claim. He is highly recommended in my experience.

Dr. Manago is the best! I had some back problems and it turned out to be sciatica. I was in major pain and some days I needed help to walk. The technique he used was a bit different and I was very skeptical. After some treatments things started getting better.
Fast forward 10 years later and I have zero back pains.
Thanks again Dr. Manago!

Dr. Manago, the staff and the over all positive energy of the office is awesome!
I came to Dr. Manago with really severe back pain and over the course of months while being at school I got treatment. My back is beyond great after seeing him and on the road to being healed, especially when weight lifting and exercising. He has been absolutely amazing and I wouldn’t go to any other Doctor around!

I’ve had chiropractic treatments for years, when in 1995 I injured my neck. The chiropractor I was seeing at the time kept saying he could fix it. After my hand went numb and the muscles atrophied I knew I was in serious trouble. I began seeing Dr. Manago several years later. His gentle technical has kept me pain free with all mobility in my neck. If any one has any concerns regarding previous injuries I would highly recommend Dr. Manago and his professional staff.

Before finding Manago Chiropractic I had been to 3 other Chiropractors, one told me that I would never be able to straighten my back and another cracked my neck the wrong way and hurt me. Manago uses gentle adjustment! I have the x-​rays to prove that they have straightened my back too. Apart from just being better aligned and feeling better, the team at this office are nothing short of amazing! Friendly, funny, warm and I look forward to every visit! If your looking for a Chiropractor look no further if you are in Southern California! I know some of their patients drive up to two hours for their appointments! Now something has to be said for that!

I was treated by Dr. Manago’s office for a chronic back problem. Whether the methods seem odd or silly is of no importance, because the results are real, consistent and extraordinary. You’re shooting yourself in the foot if you don’t give it the time the doctor says is necessary because it does take time. While I was being treated, I was able to talk to countless number of his patients who had long been given up on by their traditional doctors who now found relief. My neighbor referred me, an elderly man who had chronic neck pain due to an accident in 1951, and since then, had never found a doctor, a surgery, a therapy that helped him, until he was treated by Dr. Manago. I heard many of these stories. Not all his patients are older, I saw a range from young to old. I personally didn’t care for Dr. Manago’s personality which I found stiff, intense, and and robot-​like. I didn’t like how, after the initial diagnosis, how he shuffled me in to the ‘finance’ office, a salesperson really. I felt like I was in a high pressure car dealer’s finance office. I don’t know what his operating costs are, but his fees are excessive regardless. I did go through with it and over several months, found total relief, the pain of which has never recurred. The doctor that treated me most of the time when at Dr. Manago’s was Dr. Raz, who has since left and now has his own practice, Alicia Chiropractic in Lake Forest. I found him much more pleasant and real than Dr. Manago and his fees are much less expensive, in line with what you might expect to pay for a chiropractic visit elsewhere.

I have been going to Dr. Manago for over 10 years now and nothing had worked on my lower back pain and headaches until I met Dr. Manago. This procedure that Dr. Manago uses does not happen over night it takes time. But since coming to him and letting the treatment have a chance to work I have been completely PAIN FREE.
The people that rated Dr. Manago with 1 Star did not give it time to work from what I read in their review. Please know that if you want to be pain free it takes time and patients. Most of us didn’t get to were we are over night and we’re probable not going to get better over night either.

Been a patient here for many years. Started coming when I suddenly had lower back pain. I had been going to a back cracker chiro who would provide temporary relief and yet my back always came back to being painful. Here is what I found with Dr. Manago.
He takes measurements of coccyx and atlas bones. This is the last bone in your spine and the bone at the top of your spine in your neck. The measurements are assigned a number. The goal is to get close to zero. I started at high 90s for both numbers. This number represents the amount of subluxation in your spine.
After a low pressure adjustment my back was measured and over the next six months my numbers reduced close to zero. As the number reduced so did my back pain. As the pain reduced and the number reduced I was able to have adjustments less frequently. I have now been pain free for 5 years and I go every 6 months.
The low pressure adjustment is done with a device that puts gentle pressure on the coccyx and atlas bones. Then Dr. Manago reads the amount of inflammation radiating from your spine.
Is it cheap-​no
Is it effective-​definitely yes
Finally, Dr. Manago wants to partner with you in your health. If you come here ready to learn and to be dedicated to your therapy this is the place for you. My wife and daughter come here and they both have excellent back health just like me.

I’ve been coming to Manago Chiropractic for a couple months now and have had a very pleasant experience. I had never gone to a Chiropractor before because I had a fear of getting «cracked». Good news is there is no cracking going on here which was a relief. Dr. Manago and his staff are very warm and professional and have a knack for putting concerns at ease. They also place strong focus on educating the patient and through the exam process, they identified a few issues and pulled together a budget friendly treatment and healing plan.
The Manago approach of light force adjustment and time on the disk table has been working wonders. I have felt immediate results not just in my back, but also in other areas of my health.
I highly recommend Manago Chiropractic.

I received a complementary consultation with Dr. Manago. I was first seen by his associate. He was charismatic but firm that I must have $ 20.00 X-​Rays to be complete. I have recent X-​Rays and I brought them to the 2nd consult. I was greeted by Dr. Manago. He assured me that he was not a bone crunching chiropractor. I was amiss as I do not refer to Chiropractors as ‘Bone Crunchers’. He explained his method of treatment with some device that so calls detects heat and with 6oz of pressure holding the misalignment till the heat subsided, for seconds. I listened, yet he felt I was not convinced. I said we can agree to disagree. That’s okay. I offered to be treated 2x and if it was suitable for me I would agree to X-​Ray exposure and continue treatment. He then told me straight out that I would not know in 2 treatments. We discussed pain, no change and it would take time, yet REALLY, after visiting his office most of his patients were geriatric not young and active. I decided to compare this to my son’s recent back injury speaking in general terms about recovery. He than straight out said ‘He will never be normal again via orthopedic care.’ He also called me an extreme athlete. Referring that I had a high tolerance for pain and the ‘drugs’ that are in my body. I was uncertain what he meant by ‘drugs’ in my body (I rarely take Tylenol.) I asked him straight out what he meant. He said drugs was the epinephrine in my body. (really) I’m lucky if I get an 3 – 5 hours a week of cardio. Keeping my heart rate at 120−130bpm. That’s an extreme athlete in his eyes. He then said OK, I’ll treat you 2x, then you will do the X-​Rays? Seeing firsthand that our belief of orthopedic, sports and chiropractors are not alike, I thanked him, picked up my X-​Rays thanked the receptionist and left.

This place is amazing! I have been to a lot of chiropractors and Manago is the only one with lasting results. I am no longer in pain all the time, I have much less stress and more energy throughout the day. Besides the results, the staff is incredibly friendly and willing to help in any way possible. I would drive 100 miles for this great experience!

I have been going to Dr Manago’s office for about 2 and half months. I must admit I was not so sure a Chiropractor could fix my symptoms, but because a friend referred me I went in for an x-​ray and a consultation. I was shocked at how informative everyone in the office was, not only did I leave educated about my health but I also felt like Dr Manago had a genuine passion for what he does. I just went in for about my 10th treatment, and I am already feeling better. Dr Manago and his staff are ideal for anyone who needs to improve their health and wants to know how to maintain their health.

I started seeing Dr. Manago in January, knowing that my back was already messed up from a couple auto accidents in my 20’s. I was referred by my father who has been seeing him for a couple of years now, with great success (he was unable to turn his head or lift his arm, now has full range of motion back). I’m 36 weeks pregnant and fully believe that Dr. Manago’s care will be helpful in my desire for a natural birth. I was very skeptical and didn’t want to go to a traditional «back cracker» and I can not deny the results. In the past if my husband would rub my back or shoulders I would cringe in pain, I had poor range of motion in my neck, and was a cronic neck-​popper which is very dangerous. All of this has been cleared up with Dr. Manago’s gentle, Light Force technique. Best of all, once you get through the initial «fixing» phase of treatment you only have to go in twice a year or as needed for maintenance. Traditional chriopractors will need you to go in once every week or two for life, which is way more expensive in the long run.
Personally, I love the staff, they are so friendly and accommodating, and they are great about working with your schedule, and they know everyone by name.
Chiropractic is not generally covered by insurance and Dr. Manago is usually able to offer better prices by paying directly when it is. My own example is that with our insurance co-​pay cost would have been $ 50 per treatment, by paying up front Dr. Manago was able to offer a better rate for us. Yes, it’s expensive but, it’s an investment in your health. He is still running a business and has to keep the lights on! We planned ahead and were able to submit it to our FSA for reimburssment.
