Dear Patient,
Too often, the practitioner learns everything about the patient — while the patient knows very little about the practitioner or their practice. I’d like to change that.
My name is Dr. Joel Garry Silbar, and I was born in Los Angeles in 1957.
I graduated from Taft High School in Woodland Hills in 1975, played baseball at New Mexico State University, and later attended both Oregon State and San Diego State Universities.
I went on to graduate from Los Angeles Chiropractic College, earning my California Chiropractic License in 1983.
My wife, Olivia, is a registered nurse who works with a spine surgeon, and together we have two wonderful teenage sons, ages 16 and 17. Our home is also filled with life — two dogs, rabbits, turtles, and even frogs.
Outside of the office, I enjoy golfing, hiking, music, and sports. As a family, we focus on healthy living — eating high-energy foods, drinking ionized water, taking vitamins and homeopathic remedies, exercising, meditating, getting adjusted regularly, sleeping well, and maintaining a positive mental attitude.
Our philosophy is simple: Laugh, Learn, Love, and Play — it keeps us happy, balanced, and healthy.
I was inspired to become a healing practitioner because helping people live better lives gives me deep purpose. Chiropractic felt like a natural calling — it combines my hands, head, and heart to restore health and balance.
The philosophy of innate intelligence and the importance of the central nervous system align perfectly with my beliefs. Over the years, my practice has grown increasingly holistic, always focused on finding the root cause of imbalance, or what we call the subluxation complex.
I use a range of methods including NET (Neuro Emotional Technique), SOT, Cox, and diversified techniques, offering care that ranges from gentle to non-force approaches.
I’ve dedicated my life to the healing arts because not only do I help people — I continue to learn and grow every day. I’m deeply grateful for this path, as it has allowed me to help countless individuals in ways that traditional medicine, drugs, and surgery often cannot.
I believe wholeheartedly in the way I practice. I’m always striving to improve and to provide exceptional care at a fair and honest fee.
Our practice is built almost entirely on referrals from patients like you — people who believe in chiropractic care, holistic healing, and the power of natural wellness. I hope you’ll continue to share your experience with others, because everyone deserves more balance and healing in their lives, from birth through every stage of life.
I chose to establish my office right here in Tarzana because this community is home — it’s where I live, work, and belong.
What can I say? I love Tarzana.
My mission is to help as many people as possible find balance, energy, and healing. What makes this practice truly unique is our integrated, holistic approach, using gentle, specific adjustments to restore health naturally.
My personal promise to you is simple: to be the best chiropractor and holistic healer I can be.
Warm regards,
Dr. Joel Garry Silbar
