ALIVE Wellness Center - Dr. Nimira - Agoura Hills, California

Marielle Hajducko

She’s been the only doctor to actually fix me consistently despite my tricky diagnosis! Highly recommend and worth every dollar.

Let me start by saying I’m not a chiropractor person so when I first heard about Dr. Nimira I was a bit skeptical. That said, she came to me through a recommendation from a very good friend who had sent her husband to be treated for his neck after several failed attempts to improve his pain through other treatment options. I’ll break it down here.

Appointments
Making appointments is so easy - call or even text. I usually text now that I’m on a maintenance schedule.

The first appointment consisted of a thorough evaluation combining technology (specialized diagnostic equipment) and low tech hands-on measurements. These data were used to generate a report that showed pretty clearly I was not in alignment. For background, I had just been hospitalized and diagnosed with a herniated disc (L3 L4) at 4cm that should not have been generating the pain than it was, according to the various orthopedic surgeons.

Technique
This is not your typical back cracking in anyway shape or form. She fancies herself as a non traditional, non force chiropractor and admittedly I was very surprised at how little she actually touches you - one press on a very specific part of the neck to adjust what I’ve learned is the global axis (or something like that). Despite the relatively little action this has been soooooo effective. Every. Single. Time. Keep reading for more.

Treatment
Dr. Nimira starts her assessment with checking the neck using a tool that’s connected to her computer and asking a set of questions that’s she’s discovered are indicative of physical well being as well. She then has you lay face down on the low adjustment table and checks your alignment based largely on whether your legs / feet are even. You then go to the “rest room” - this room is awesome! You sit in a zero gravity chair with a specifically shaped “dog bone pillow” (aka neck pillow) and this is meant to get you to an equilibrium so you can then come back out and she determines whether you need an adjustment. The adjustment itself is very minimal relative to everything I thought I knew about chiropractic. Then you go back to rest for another 30 mins and she repeats the checking process a third time.

Price / Value
I’m not sure when it happened but over the last several years more and more specialists have stopped taking health insurance and it seems the chiropractor specialty is one of those professions. Like all the others, she’s a cash pay (yes credit card of course). She spends the time to generate a super bill monthly that you can submit for reimbursement. This is great and appreciated. Some providers make you work for it.

Results
She gets them for me. I can’t explain the science but I can explain my pain going from 8 to 2 or better and it holds. I don’t feel like I’m getting a placebo effect or “stuck” in a cycle going back. This approach just works.

Office and Bedside Manner
The office and treatment rooms are so cool (see pics) and her demeanor is beyond delightful and definitely puts even the most anxious patient at ease.

I had the opportunity to receive treatment from Dr. Alibhoy using the innovative Softwave technology. Dr. Alibhoy was exceptional in explaining how Softwave works and its impressive ability to reduce inflammation significantly with just a few minutes of treatment each session. I can confidently say that her claims are true; my left knee feels fantastic and rejuvenated. I highly recommend Dr. Alibhoy for her expertise and the effectiveness of this cutting-edge technology. I'm now considering using the treatment for my right knee as well. Thank you again, Dr. Alibhoy!

I went to see Dr Namira without expectations of a positive outcome as I was nervous about going to a chiropractor. Dr Namira is so calming and her methods are based on science not manipulation. I am walking and feeling 100% better. I highly recommend her practice in Agoura.

Dr Nimira is so caring, accommodating, warm & friendly. Never have to wait for upon arrival, I am always taken in right away. She goes the extra mile to make sure I am comfortable during the process. I have been going to Dr Nimira for about 6 months now and I would say that my vertigo is probably the most under control it has been in years. I am BLOWN away by the results! I dont spin when laying down like I used to anymore and my body is now holding the adjustments, which means I am managing my stress better and I am just overall better. She is a God sent! Thanks to her, I am living life more normally than I ever have.

Dr Nimira is amazing! Her technique is gentle and allows your body to make changes from head to toe on its own, with little adjustment. She is so patient, kind, knowledgeable and very attentive whenever you need her between visits. I have migraines, headaches, neck pain and alignment issues. I have only been seeing her for about 6 weeks (6 month program of healing)and already feel a difference. My body is making drastic changes for the better. I recommend her to anyone searching for answers and relief that the medical field, other chiropractic options and PT cannot provide.

Dr. Nimira is the best! I started seeing her earlier this year for tinnitus and not only did she help me cure that, but also helped me control the migraines that I have suffered from since I was younger. I highly recommend Dr. Namira to anybody suffering tinnitus or migraines! Updated to add that I have also now seen Dr. Namira for softwave for an injured shoulder as well and that has also been so helpful - the treatments have helped control the pain and avoid needing injections or surgery.

I discovered Dr. Nimira online when I was researching how I could find relief from my debilitating migraines. I have been a migraine sufferer my entire adult life and have learned to manage them. Until a few years ago, when the cause changed and they seemed to be derived from hormonal issues. On my first visit, Dr. Nimira took a very thorough history and took the time to listen to me. She was very confident she could help me. Within a couple of weeks, I started to see improvement. It has now been a few months and my headaches are less frequent and not as severe. After suffering for years, I have hope that I am going to feel better. She only adjusts me when she feels it is necessary and I appreciate her practical approach. She is always available to chat in between appointments and is so caring. I am so happy that I found her and highly recommend her.

I received one of the free pillows that Dr Alibhoy was offering. Life changing. I had no idea how poor the circulation was from my head to the rest of my body. I can’t even explain the relief I felt while using the pillow. I’ll be calling her to schedule a regular appointment for my lower back. I’m actually excited to go in! Thank you!!!
Update: it’s been a few years since first going to Dr. Nimira. She continues to wow and amaze me. I am a runner and did something to my hip. I went in for a tweak (in a lot of pain) and after a session, I woke the next morning with absolutely no pain! Her techniques are simply the best and painless. I highly recommend her!!
