Improve Your Life with chiropractic
Welcome to Personal Touch Chiropractic located at 6820 La Tijera Blvd. Ste 208A, where we do our best to work on healing the body from the inside out. Chiropractic is one of the most amazing healthcare professions, but very few people understand what it's all about. This article is here to help you gain a basic understanding of how our Westchester CA chiropractors can help you and your family.
Personal Touch Chiropractic
Dr. Sharon Pickford decided to become a Chiropractor in Westchester/LA community because of the wonderful people. What sets us apart from other chiropractors in the area is our unique approach to focus on the body's mechanical and nutritional needs. We analyze the body's neurological system for nutritional deficiencies using muscle testing, spinal and nutritional exams, labs, and subjective surveys.

The Role of Personal Touch Chiropractic
Helping Families Heal and Stay Healthy
We offer virtual consultations to support your care from home — including whole-food nutrition counseling, review of chiropractic findings, and follow-up discussion of heart-sound recordings and muscle-testing results. Note: muscle testing and heart-sound recording exams must be performed in-person at our office; their findings can then be reviewed and explained during a secure video visit. Each virtual appointment includes a focused intake (health history and goals), review of any uploaded records or in-office test results, real-time guided self-assessments when appropriate, personalized recommendations (nutrition plan, supplement suggestions, home-care/chiropractic strategies, or referrals), and a clear follow-up plan. Initial virtual visits are typically 30–45 minutes; follow-ups 15–25 minutes.
A Proactive Approach
Personal Touch Chiropractic is a cash-only practice and does not bill insurance. We offer a variety of package specials to suit different needs — ask about bundled visits, nutrition plans, and ongoing support options when you schedule. To prepare, please complete our intake form and upload any records or heart-sound files before the appointment, and have a quiet space plus your current supplements/medications on hand. If hands-on care is required after a virtual review, we’ll recommend timely in-office visits or local resources.

We provide personalized ergonomic assessments and recommendations to help improve comfort, productivity, and long-term musculoskeletal health.

conditions we help
Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or experiencing discomfort related to work, posture, or daily activities, our team is committed to identifying the root cause of your symptoms and creating a personalized treatment plan. We help patients of all ages find relief, improve mobility, and achieve better long-term health through comprehensive chiropractic and wellness care.
See The Conditions We Help
Back Pain
Whether caused by poor posture, injury, repetitive strain, or everyday wear and tear, back pain can interfere with your quality of life. Our personalized treatment approach helps reduce discomfort, restore mobility, and support long-term spinal health.
Neck Pain
Neck pain often develops from stress, prolonged screen time, poor posture, or injury. Chiropractic care can help improve alignment, reduce tension, and restore comfortable movement so you can get back to your daily activities.
Headaches & Migraines
Many headaches originate from muscle tension, spinal misalignment, or poor posture. By addressing underlying causes, chiropractic care may help reduce the frequency and severity of headaches and migraines while improving overall well-being.
Sciatica
Sciatica occurs when irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve causes pain, numbness, or tingling that radiates into the legs. Our treatments focus on relieving pressure on affected nerves and improving spinal function to help you find lasting relief.
Poor Posture
Modern lifestyles often lead to postural imbalances that contribute to pain, stiffness, and fatigue. We help identify the root causes of poor posture and provide corrective care to improve alignment and support healthier movement patterns.
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder discomfort can limit your ability to work, exercise, and perform everyday tasks. Through chiropractic care, soft tissue therapies, and rehabilitative exercises, we help restore mobility and reduce pain.
Joint Pain & Arthritis
Joint stiffness and arthritis can make simple movements difficult and uncomfortable. Our holistic approach focuses on improving joint function, reducing inflammation, and helping you maintain an active lifestyle.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Repetitive motions and workplace strain can contribute to numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hands and wrists. Chiropractic and ergonomic solutions can help relieve pressure on affected nerves and improve function.
Work-Related Injuries
Repetitive stress, poor ergonomics, and physically demanding jobs can lead to chronic pain and injury. We provide comprehensive care designed to support recovery, prevent future issues, and improve workplace wellness.
Sports Injuries
Whether you're a weekend warrior or competitive athlete, sports injuries can impact performance and recovery. Our treatments help reduce pain, promote healing, improve mobility, and support a safe return to activity.
Auto Accident Injuries
Even minor vehicle accidents can cause lingering pain and soft tissue injuries. We provide thorough evaluations and personalized treatment plans to help you recover from whiplash, neck pain, back pain, and related injuries.
Stress & Tension-Related Conditions
Physical stress can manifest as muscle tension, headaches, fatigue, and discomfort throughout the body. Our wellness-focused approach helps reduce stress-related strain and supports better overall health and function.

Miraculously Improved Where Itchiness Has Totally Subsided & I Am Calm. Namaste’
"My body ached with pain and discomfort every day. I also agonized with extreme itchiness profusely and constantly all over my body. It was seemingly hopeless because I went to several specialists, doctors, therapists etc. This had plagued me for years and I was at my wits end until I was introduced to Standard Process cell food for the body."
Liza M.
Nasal/Sinus Congestion & Constant Drainage Due To Seasonal Allergies
"It’s managed and under control with plant based supplements prescribed by Dr. Sharon Pickford."

Ligaplex (My New Best Friend)
"June 25th I was in a car accident and injured my right knee. My knee was achy, sore, sometimes I had sharp pains and it was hard for me to sleep at night! But, then I met Ligaplex. Taking two pills when I wake up and two pills before I went to sleep, had me on the fast track to recovery. Within a week I could feel the Ligaplex working in my body and easing the pain. One month later I was running and working out again with no soreness or pain!"
Vanessa H.
"Fall 2019 was quickly approaching and I was very concerned about my health. I could not have a repeat of the previous year, chronic cold and flu attacks, back to back. My symptoms were horrible. Because of the fatigue in my legs, walking from my bedroom to the living room felt like I ran a mile. Muscle cramps would make me jump out of my bed during the night. Lots of congestion in the head and chest. I had to have tissue by my bedside, in my purse and in my car because I was constantly blowing my nose and clearing my chest and throat. Horrible!!!!! I have always suffered from insomnia. I often wake up around 3 am and can not get back to sleep. A few days of this pattern in one week can be exhausting.
I am happy to report that Fall 2019 - Winter 2020, I caught one cold. The cold lasted about 5 days and I did not have any of the chronic symptoms, thank God and Dr. P. I have had a few muscle cramps during the night, but when I reported it, I was encouraged to increase one of my supplements, which made the cramps go away. The two boxes of tissue that I purchased in the fall are still on my bedside table. I had no congestion this season even when I caught the 1 cold, there was no congestion. I have been able to breathe clearly all year.
I now sleep more soundly throughout the night which helps me function better during the day and I am sure it has helped my overall health."
Terri L.
"Dr. Pickford, I want to thank you for your assistance, dedication, and commitment to improving my health issues. You've made the online experience seamless and very easy for my hectic schedule. I use the supplements as you prescribed and I am extremely happy to report my energy level has increased tremendously. My other health issues have diminished as well. I am sure my next round of testing will also show improvements. I am so grateful for you and your wonderful expertise in holistic health. Thank you so very much."
Cheryl F.
"I use STANDARD PROCESS products. The system analysis, blood test review, cardio workup, and muscle testing reviewed a lot of underlying health issues that had not been addressed in my other medical exams. I had been under a great deal of stress and had digestive and congestion issues. I felt I had them handled with my over the counter vitamin supplements, diet, and exercise.
After six months of using the food-based products, re-evaluating what I was eating and exercising, my symptoms have diminished. The significant changes in sleeping better, less stressed, more energy, minimal gastrointestinal and congestion issues are life-changing. I am a healthier teenage senior. I recommend to anyone seeking a stronger and healthier lifestyle to try this alternative food-based vitamin regime, STANDARD PROCESS."
Ella C.
"I have been taking Standard Process Products for the last 4 months, having H-Pylori and acid reflex my symptoms have improved tremendously."
