Acupuncture provides safe help for a wide range of health problems including chronic and acute pain. Positive results are typically felt within 1-3 sessions. Frequently there is total elimination of pain. Acupuncture may be an alternative to surgery. Pre-sterilized single-use needles are used. Acupuncture is inexpensive and non-invasive. Health care plans, worker's compensation, and auto insurance often provide for payment. Dr. Dennis Kessler uses acupuncture to treat a wide range of health problems, and maintains a special interest in the management of pain.

Dr. Kessler is one the best acupuncturists I've come across period. That's a lot coming from another acupuncturist. I met Dr. Kessler last year due to a long-term injury from a Kickboxing class. I was in so much pain that I couldn't bend my fingers and had to endure the agony for 4 months. I had done everything and finally gave up hope it would get better.
My primary care doctor convinced me it was arthritis. How could it be arthritis when I'm only 44 years old. It made no sense to me. Since I'm an acupuncturist, I was lucky to find Dr. Kessler through a Facebook group. I had nothing to lose so I called him and made an appointment right away. That's the best decision I've made in this life. It blew my mind meeting him and having him explain to me what was going on.
I didn't have arthritis because he did the proper assessment on my hands. After the initial visit, I felt 50% better already. It wasn't as stiff and I felt lightness in my arm for the first time in months. I remembered crying to my husband on the phone while I was leaving his place. An additional 3 visits and the pain and stiffness disappeared completely.
I was able to open and close my fingers again. It was amazing! Never have I seen acupuncture skills like his before. I was completely blown away. He is a wealth of knowledge and is very humble about it. If you need an acupuncturist for musculoskeletal issues, you have got to give Dr Kessler a call. It will change your life!

* * * * * best doctor in Los Angeles! Dr. Kessler is the most thorough and effective health care provider I have ever been to. He takes time to find out your whole state of health and has always been able to pinpoint either with his acupuncture needles or with exercises, or a combination, to cure me of many maladies. Even after western medical doctors couldn't help, he has.
I now go to him first, and if he thinks western medicine is more appropriate, he will recommend it. These are some of the things that he has helped me or my husband with: unexplained rashes, sprained ankles, lower back pain, "throwing my back out", frozen shoulder, whiplash after a car accident, stomach pain, dizzyness, swelling after trauma.

Dr. Kessler has helped me more than any doctor or acupuncturist or physical therapist. He has helped me completely heal hip issues, back issues, carpel tunnel. He takes his time - sometimes hours to find the underlying cause and he finds what needs to happen to fix the issues. I'm grateful to have been a patient for almost 20 years. Though, only a handful of times, because he works his way out of a job.;- Sincerest recommendations.

I've suffered with chronic back pain and knee pain with limited mobility for years following 4 low back surgeries.! After decades of seeking relief from every type of health practitioner out there, Dr Kessler is my go to healing Doc. I've been under his care over the past 5 years. and I keep coming back when I'm in trouble! He is gifted in his ability to accurately diagnose and treat.
He offers treatment both in Accupuncture and in identifying and releasing tight, locked up muscles and tendons that need stretching, which in turn release spasms and pain and provide relief unlike other forms of treatment seem to be able to do! I've referred patients who were scheduled for neck surgery and he helped them to the extent that surgery was cancelled! I consider Dr Kessler somewhat of a diagnosing and treating servant', and I'm grateful for the day I found him!

Doctor Kessler is brilliant diagnostician and miracle worker Dr. Kessler has helped me and many others in my family. He is a caring and bright doc. He has cured a neck ailment, knee pain, sciatica, and tendonitis for us. His diagnosis coupled with the brilliant regimens always cure us very quickly. I learned about him from a UCLA's physician who along with other doctors there have referred patients to him for pain management for years.
He is a brilliant diagnostician. He uses a combination of needles and stretching. I am a triathlete and mother of three. My children and I have found his treatments painless and effective. We often don't even need a repeat visit--he just tells us what to do at home in terms of stretching and we are relieved in a few days to a couple weeks. He will carefully listen to all your symptoms and think it through with commitment and passion.
