Chiropractic and Integrated Healthcare in Santa Monica

“I’ve dealt with many doctors and professionals over the years in an effort to mitigate basic issues that have cropped up as I’ve aged and have slowly gotten worse. What sets Dr. Mark apart from anyone else I’ve ever seen isn’t just his professionalism and expertise, but in the ways he dug into what I thought were minor issues and discovered the imbalances that CAUSED them. Things I thought were just part of my chronic, natural imbalances, he was able to identify as *symptoms* of a greater cause.

This has led to revolutionary new approaches that transcend the problems I and everyone else I’ve seen figured were a given and created a focus on things I wasn’t even aware of.

The result of his work has been transcendent. I cannot praise enough the excellence and professionalism of the team. When you are ready to SOLVE problems instead of nearly TREATING them, go get healed :)

Dr Mark does a great job - he fixed my very painful back after a minor accident last year, and now he’s helping me with plantar fasciitis. He has a very pleasant manner, he is patient and also instructive about the treatment he is doing. I would not hesitate to recommend him - he has helped me many times already.

I’m not sure what I’d have done without Dr. Larinde’s this past year. He is great at explaining and answering all the questions I’ve had regarding my injury. I had been in serious pain for several months before meeting him. His treatments have been invaluable. I’m deeply grateful for all he has done for me.

Beyond grateful for Dr Larinde!! His expertise and healing touch have proven to be the perfect combination to helping manage severe sciatica flare ups, muscle spasms, numbness and tingling. The decompression table has also been beneficial in decreasing pain and the frequency of flare ups. His genuine care and compassion for his patients is unmatched. I can’t thank you enough Mark—the numbers of days I have with minimal to no pain has definitely increased! I am starting to find joy in the process and have an overall brighter look at things despite my limitations. I would highly recommend The Center for Health and Longevity to those who suffer from spinal injuries/issues.

Attending Melanie's breathing class has been such a transformative experience! She is truly wonderful, her calming presence and expert guidance create a safe and nurturing space for everyone. I always leave her class feeling both calm and energized, as though my mind and body are perfectly balanced.

I attended Melanie's Women's Healing Circle Workshop this month and it was truly a magical experience. Melanie is committed to bringing her best self to everything she does and with this event she did not disappoint . I was touched, moved and inspired by her agenda and would encourage anyone that is looking for self healing tools to attend one of her Women's Healing Circle Workshops. She truly is amazing!

I had a beautiful experience at the center for Longevity. The space itself is peaceful and reflects the mindful care of its founders. Melanie Larinde is incredibly knowledgeable in all the wellness disciplines from nutrition and exercise to breath work and mindset. Melanie has a gift for making people feel welcome and seen. Highly recommend that you try a class or workshop. It is transformative.

Brittany is incredible!! She helped me work on my stability and core strength in a balance/flexibility training session and I already notice a difference in my daily routine.

The concept of offsetting my weight to help with balance was totally new to me and Brittany explained it in a way that was both easy to understand and incredibly helpful. She takes advanced concepts and makes them digestible for beginners and useful for experts.

I would absolutely recommend Brittany to anyone looking to improve their balance, strength, and flexibility :)

Dr Mark is awesome. Does a great job listening and providing targeted treatments to deliver better range of motion and quality of life

No need to spend any more time researching chiropractors. I can assure you Mark is the best you're going to find.

I've seen Mark over the past year for some challenging issues, and he's been a tremendous help throughout. He's the best for a few reasons:

1) As experienced as they get. He's been doing this for a long time and has seen just about everything by now.
2) He listens and really cares. He really takes the time to understand your symptoms and find the right treatment plan. I've yet to find someone that genuinely cares about his patients / clients (in any area) as much as Mark does.
3) He's comprehensive in how he treats you. Most other chiropractors do a few quick adjustments, maybe some e-stim and you're on your way in 10 minutes. Mark is great with adjustments but he does so much more than that when it comes to working on your body. Spinal decompression, traction of my lower back, trigger point work; he does a little bit of everything to get you back to your best.

I rarely write reviews, but after seeing so many chiropractors that I've had disappointing experiences with, I think it's important to highlight how helpful Mark is.

Dr. Mark Larinde has been helping me for several years with my neck issues and all around issues associated with being a dancer/choreographer. He is wonderful at identifying the exact point of trauma and addressing it. Not only do I get relief from each visit, but he gives me personalized exercises to help heal and overcome my issues.
Dr. Mark's warm and friendly approach is wonderful and he helps calm your muscles down prior to the adjustments, which is super helpful!
Thank you Dr. Larinde at the Center for Health and Longevity!

This is the best chiropractor I've ever had! I'm a professional ballet dancer and he has helped me with so many issues! I leave feeling better than ever every time!
