About J.R. Strecker, B.S., D.C.
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer questions related to the customary practice of chiropractic, different types of chiropractic, as well as the routine management of common musculoskeletal conditions. My background and approach to healthcare emphasizes evidence-based integration of complimentary and alternative therapies with traditional allopathic care. Please note: Due to the limitations of email communication, I cannot answer questions seeking a potential diagnosis or a second opinion. Without exception, any answers given may be used for educational purposes only. If a question is asked, you, the questioner, inherently agree to not use the answer for any type of evidence against another individual or to outweigh the advice or opinion of another healthcare professional. You, the questioner, also inherently agree to remove Allexperts.com and its affiliates and the author of the answer, Dr. JR Strecker, DC, from any harm or liability.

Experience
I have extensive experience with chiropractic in an integrated system. I have treated patients at Venice Family Clinic, the nation’s largest free clinic and a teaching clinic for the UCLA medical system, in a heavily researched pilot program incorporating chiropractic and acupuncture with allopathic medicine. I am currently focused on private practice.
