Being in the Motion Picture and Television Industry, it’s essential to address problems with your body as they appear. Leaving the aches and pains for another day can be detrimental to the health of any entertainment mogul. After all, PAIN HAS A PURPOSE and it is NOT in your best interest to dull it with medication and iron hard willpower.

This is where Dr. Alan Forrest comes into play. After graduating from UCLA in 1977 with a degree in Biology, Dr. Forrest moved on to graduate in the top ten of his class from the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic in 1980. He set up his practice in the Reseda/Tarzana area with no plans on leaving anytime soon. Dr. Forrest has been on the MPHW chiropractic panel since
his graduation in 1980. While he specializes in auto, work, and sports related injuries, he offers help to anyone in need of his expertise.

What makes Dr. Forrest different from other chiropractors is that he believes that each patient is different so he treats them accordingly. He offers traditional and hands on adjustments to the body with physical therapeutic modalities at each visit. This ensures that the body has its healing power on OVERDRIVE.

Not everyone needs a “lifelong” treatment plan at the chiropractor. That’s the beauty of Dr. Forrest. He comes into the game with no intention of swindling his patients out of money. Some patients only need one or two treatments to fix their problem and others may need weeks. Dr. Forrest will ensure that patients are aware of any problems or warning signs that may need his attention before it worsens. Just remember that you always have the option to come in for a “tune up” as a preventative measure!

Dr. Forrest has treated second and third generations of patients and has children of his own. He understands the need that children may have for a good chiropractor to take care of injuries from a heavy backpack or poor posture.
