Sports & Spine Rehabilitation Center

THE WORST!
On Monday I called to ask if I could book an appointment with the doctor. They booked one for me on Friday morning and asked me for my insurance card so they could check my benefits before I come. I sent the card to them and the next they called me asking for my DB and I told them that too. Woke up on Friday morning, made the trip to the center, show up there and guess what THEY HAVE NOT CALLED THE INSURANCE COMPANY WHEN THEY HAD A WEEK TO DO THAT!!!
The receptionist called them in front of me and apparently my insurance company doesn’t cover that.
COMPLETELY WASTED MY TIME!
and guess what too. This might not be related to me but they pulled on a patient on the phone!!!
This just shows how much they appreciate their patients time!!!

Although Dr Nagar is our chiropractor for years, he never ceases to amaze me.
His dedication to his patients knows no boundaries.
It is too bad that from time to time, some of us need a chiropractor, but when we do, there is NO OTHER person that you wanna call, but Dr Nagar.
He will really go out of his way to help you if your in pain. UNBELIEVABLY KIND.
Thx Doc for caring
And for the people who really need a sincere recommendation, you are welcome to contact me through Unilocal.
Do not expect to hear anything other than favorable and true.

I have been treated here by Dr. Nogar on a pedestrian accident last dec 2015 I have chiropractor, therapeutic massage, acupuncture and Pilates sessions for 4 months and has greatly improved and cured my injuries. The staff is very personable, efficient and knowledgeable about their services. I recommended this center to my family and friends and they too were happy and their expectations met.

I am delighted to say that I am treated by Dr. Nagar for the past 18 years. He is a chiropractor who goes beyond what a classical chiropractor offers. Dr. Nagar is highly educated in sports medicine, and for the past years he travels to specialize in DNS which does miracles for me and other people I referred to his clinic. He works on breathing and explains that the diaphragm has an extreme impact over our health. I like the fact that he takes his time to diagnose my muscular function, looks at my posture and is an expert in how the body suppose to function normally, and what would we need to fix, so that we don’t suffer from chronic pains aches and degeneration. He is all about rehabilitation and good function and the chiropractic adjustment is just a part of an amazing treatment. He puts together a plan to get you back to full great health and shape, and treats any part of your body which is in pain with such vast knowledge, utilizing exercises and different techniques such as DNS which works on our primal reflexes, and re-​establishes better brain body function, corrects our posture and wakes up the right muscles to support our skeleton. He helps correct scoliosis with this technique. I personalty know of an 11 yo girl with Cerebral Palsy and a sever S shape scoliosis, whom I recommended he treats, and after one treatment with DNS she was able to go without her oxygen machine for a whole day and hold herself up straighter while sited. Dr. Nagar is all about helping you get better as soon as possible, treating the source and root of you pains and aches, to prevent chronic physical distress, instead of seeing you often for a treatment. My entire family visited his office for different reasons along the years, as well as my friends and anyone I know who can benefit from his care. I cannot say enough good things about this honorable doctor, who has a heart of gold, and is a genuine, sensitive and caring approach to everyone whom he comes across. His staff is amazing as well and it is a pleasure to visit his clinic. I highly recommend him, and if I could I would have rated him 6 stars!!!

I LOVE this place, Moving to the valley a few years ago I have searched for a long time to find a place comparable to my place over the hill. This place is it!!! I have been to acupuncture, Chiropractic, massage and Pilates here and love them all. I’ve only seen one Pilates instructor, Ronin, and I adore him… Dr Nager is amazing, he doesn’t adjust your nick, so I feel completely safe with him. They are great with working with your insurance too!!!

In regards to Sports Medicine:
As an aging athlete, the frequency of injuries and the time required to recover increase. Personally, I had an unlucky run of calve muscle ailments which reached across the spectrum (from small strain to tear) several years ago. I languished a bit in formulating an effective recovery plan as the source of my primary care was thought Kaiser. As someone who has competed in sports from the collegiate to the semi-​pro level, I was not the average patient at Kaiser.
Kaiser’s response to my past injuries was based purely on the corrective with an emphasis on medication. Even on the orthopedic side of the house, the approach was not preventative so I was inspired to look elsewhere for help.
After speaking to numerous athletes from different sporting backgrounds, it became clear that Active Release Therapy was a methodology I needed to seek out. A few minutes on the web resulted in me finding Sports & Spine Rehabilitation Center, which was a mere 10 minutes away from where I lived.
Injury and Treatment History:
Calf Muscle Injuries — I suffered an acute strain of my right calf after tearing my left months prior. These injuries were repeating and the «take some ibuprofen and stay off of it» approach that Kaiser was recommending was not solving the issue.
I initially met with Dr. Nagar in 2011, where he evaluated my legs. He quickly determined that my problem was limited dorsiflexion — he applied the ART technique, ran me through some strength exercises, applied Kinesio tape (which was a relatively new approach at the time — these days you see Kinesio tape in just about ever professional sports league), and developed a physical therapy plan.
Dr. Nagar also did something that I find remarkable to this day: he told me that I needed to get back out on the court and that I am not to use any kind of brace. I have been wearing braces to support ankles, knees, elbows, you name it, since high school. He explained to me why braces are actually more of a hinderance than a help. Of course, I was skeptical given how long I had relied on them but in the weeks that followed, he was proven right.
I no longer own braces.
Dr. Nagar seems to have a goal of getting athletes back out there instead of sitting down. I appreciate that in a great way as I find not being able to complete to be absolutely depressing.
Plantar Fascia Rupture — I was quite healthy for years after Dr. Nagar’s treatment. At the tail end of 2015, I was suffering from plantar fasciitis and three weeks later, experienced a rupture of the fascia. Immediately I formed a plan — rest for a few weeks and go see Dr. Nagar (Kaiser was not considered). It is worth noting that I had moved 20 miles to the East and now was no longer right around the corner. There was not a question in mind given how successful Dr. Nagar was previously.
Dr. Nagar listened to my fateful story, evaluated my legs, provided a diagnosis, applied the ART technique (which released the fascia nicely) as well as another treatment. Kinesio tape, my old friend, was back in my life as well. Dr. Nagar, in detail, explained what was going on with my legs and feet. He designed a physical therapy plan for me and said, «do these exercises and in two weeks, play.»
Care/​Bed Side Manner:
Dr. Nagar is a very kind person. He will listen to you and take time explaining his diagnosis and prognosis. He absolutely treats you as an individual and not simply as a patient being pushed through his office. You will quickly believe that he wants you to be healthy and, in the most respectful way possible, «not see you again in his office.» He understands the mind of an athlete as well, as he’s played sports before.
I have recommended him before to friends and family, which is an excellent measure of the overall care you receive at Sports & Spine Rehabilitation Center.
Office/​Customer Service:
His office is clean and comfortable. I have visited three times and have been greeted in a very kind and courteous way each time by the ladies that work in the reception area. Every interaction I have had with his staff on the phone has been timely and respectful as well.
I would reccomend Dr. Nagar for Sports Medicine issues without hesitation. I have never actually been to a chiropractor for an adjustment before, but based on my experience with Dr. Nagar, I’m thinking I’ll make the drive in to visit.

I have been using Dr Yoav Nagar’s services including Pilates and massage therapy for years
And I can’t say enough good things about him and his professional staff!
I’ve had a severe knee injury years back and Dr Nagar was the only one who was able to treat me and help me walk again. I’ve had a back injury as a result of a car accident and I immediately went to him, and after a few visits I was a new person!
Recently I was suffering from a neck injury
I was practically paralyzed, couldn’t function with the easiest daily tasks, after one visit I walked out with no pain as if it was never there!
He’s truly a great doctor who cares for his patients! He’s extremely knowledgable and professional!
Rachel, at the front desk is the sweetest!
The entire staff is great as well!
Highly recommend them! Everyone I had referred to him thanks me
The office is also super clean.
You won’t regret going there ;)

Yoav was amazing!!! Before I switched my car recently, my old car seat was really hurting my back in many different areas. I came to yoav and I really enjoyed my visit. To begin with the office is super nice and clean. I met with yoav in one of the rooms and he explained throughly where the pain was coming from. He did some different stretches on my back and it felt better right away. He spent a lot of time with me and really explained how to adjust my sitting and sleeping position so that I can have less pain. I was with him for about 45min– 1 hour and it really fixed me up. Honestly I was very impressed with his office, his skill, and his knowledge of the subject. If I have pain again, he is my guy! A+++

Highly highly recommend Dr. Nagar. I’ve had back problems for years and thought its something I just had to live with it. It’s been a few months now of doing various exercises, and I swear I feel almost back to normal. Thank you!

If you’ve ever had any kind of skeletal pain and visited a chiropractor for no relief. Well Dr. Nagar is your man. Active muscle release works! Pilates prevention and rehabilitation are available, but the techniques the Dr uses are like no other. My husband was told that he needed shoulder surgery twice. We found it hard to believe. Got a second option from Nagar, He had the issues FiXed in two visits ! Amazing. Knowledgeable and affective.

This review is for the Pilates reformer classes:
I got a Groupon to the Pilates Reformer classes here and I am so glad I found this place. I have taken all my classes with Ronen and he is a great instructor and extremely knowledgeable about how the body operates. This really helps when dealing with injuries and trying to understand the proper way to do the exercises. The reformer classes are a great way to work out when you can’t run around like a crazy person. I like to think of it as the most workout you can get with the least movement!
I hope to continue these classes since I think, over time, this would make a big difference. I have been able to work around knee pains and heel pains and this is an enjoyable workout. There are only 5 reformers, so appointments are necessary. And a few times, I have been in class with a few people that know each other and talk the whole time. But it’s a calm and nice environment, so if that doesn’t bother you, then this is a great place for an intro to Pilates reformer.
Free street parking which is easy in the evenings. Friendly staff when you call to make an appointment.
Recommendations for MGMT: The best way to retain customers from Groupon is to make sure they know the rates and any available packages. I did not receive any information on that even though I called to reserve my appointments. When you know people are reserving their last available class, you should take that opportunity to inform them of the regular rates and offers to get them to sign up as regular customers.

My wife and I have been coming to Dr. Nagar for over a year and have nothing but the highest praise for Dr. Nagar, Jenny (massage therapist), Jennifer (acupuncturist), and the friendly, helpful front office staff of Pat and Rachel. My wife is being treated post spine surgery and other conditions caused by other past surgeries. Her neurosurgeon was amazed by her progress and refers patients to Dr. Nagar to help them regain function and mobility post surgery. Dr. Nagar is caring, considerate and has the patient’s best interests at heart in all he does. He does no treatment unless it is necessary and beneficial. As for myself, I am off of pain medications for my neck due to the treatments from Dr. Nagar and Jenny. You should not hesitate to see Dr. Nagar for a consultation and diagnosis of your condition. He is the best!

Dr. Nagar has been so helpful. He focuses on finding the underlying issue behind your pain and solving that, rather than treating only the symptoms, as well as on how the entire system is functioning. His work on my shoulder post-​rotator cuff surgery doesn’t focus on strengthening a specific muscle, like superspinatus, but on how the whole shoulder works, all the muscles together, using exercises that engage the whole system, addressing not only shoulder but also core muscles. I feel stronger and more able than I have in years, and I’m not even finished with treatment yet.

My elderly Mother had been living with pain in her hip, back, and leg for over 6 years. She had been treated by a host of specialists from vascular surgeons to podiatrists, but no one could explain the pain. It worsened over time and began affecting her sleep and mobility. Dr. Nagar had successfully treated both me and my daughter for back and leg pain, so I urged her to see him on a recent trip to LA.
It took less than 15 minutes for Dr. Nagar to diagnose her problem (tendinitis/​tendinosis with a small partial-​thickness tear in her Achilles’ tendon). When she returned home to the east coast, his diagnosis was confirmed by an MRI and my Mom is currently wearing a boot in hopes that the tendon will heal naturally. Immediately upon using the boot, all the debilitating pain in her back, leg, and hip completely resolved.
Dr. Nagar is the best in the field for diagnosing and treating these types of structural/​soft tissue issues. He is a kind, compassionate man who cares about his patients’ wellbeing. He has done a lot for me and my family and he Is thought of fondly by all of us.

Ok, quite frankly, any compliment I will be writing in this post will not do justice to Dr. Nagar and his practice. I trust him with my well being whole heartedly. I have never come across any other professional in the health care field even remotely as caring, professional, knowledgeable and responsible as Dr. Nagar. I have had issues with my back for years. I visited with numerous doctors and chiropractors, but never was able to find relief from my pain. I was in fact told that I suffered from chronic pain, received a gazillion adjustments and popped pain killers on a daily basis. Well, all that changed the very moment I visited Dr. Nagar. He is incredibly enthusiast to share his knowledge of the different functions and property of the human body; at the same time, he is very humble and always keeps in mind that there is always room for more learning and improvement. He is EXTREMELY honest, and the patient’s well being and recovery are his priority. He cares to send the patient home with instructions on how to take care of a condition during daily activities, he is conservative to send people to surgeries if they are not an absolute necessity, and most of all, HE CARES. I cannot say this enough. HE CARES. I do not feel like just a number, I don’t feel like an appointment filler, I don’t feel like I am just a part of a business machine. The very opposite. I feel that I am in the best possible hands and that as long as Dr. Nagar is involved in my well being, I am ok. I stopped having chronic back issues from THE VERY FIRST TIME I saw him, after years of being told that there was nothing to be done. Through the years, I have often referred people to his practice and over and over I have been thanked by each and very person for telling them about him. Dr. Nagar is AS GOOD AS IT CAN POSSIBLY GET. I will never, ever stop singing his praises.

Dr. Nagar was extremely helpful in diagnosing my issue, recommending the care needed and referring me to other specialists when needed.
When it turned out that I did need back surgery, he did pre-​hab with me, which made recovery much easier and is working with me now on rehab after surgery. The office is easy and stress free and I seldom have to wait for my appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Nagar.

I ve worked with this office for the past 20 + years. Have had work done on me personally by Dr. Nagar, a true and caring chiropractor and have and will refer my clients whenever i can.
The Pilates studio is open non stop as far as i can see. So splurge, enjoy this gem!

Ive been going to this office for over 10 years. Its like a second home to me, everyone isblike family… they are so welcoming, warm and friendly. I always feel so much better after coming here. The doctor isnso knowledgeable, and great. The massages arw tondie for, and the Pilates is the best work out I have ever gotten.

I have been going here for 7 years and it’s changed my life. I originally went because of lower back pain and a torn rotator cuff. A team of people here, including Dr Nagar, pilates instructors Tosha, Ronen, Marita, and miracle body worker Jenny have helped me overcome these issues. I no longer work close to their offices but I still make the drive because of the regimen and people who work there. Rachel and Pat at the front desk are really helpful in working with my busy schedule.

I’ve been going here for several years and they are the absolute best!!! Between Dr Nagar and Jenny and Nora, this is my go-​to place and I come at least once or twice a week for back re-​alignments, medical massages and acupuncture. They’re absolutely amazing and I will coming here for years to come!
