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.AppointmentsMaking 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.TechniqueThis 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.TreatmentDr. 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 / ValueI’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.ResultsShe 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 MannerThe 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 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 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.

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.

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!!

Nimira is a life savor. Ive lived with migraines my entire life and they were getting worse to the point where I would have a headache every afternoon around the same time everyday. Ive now been seeing Nimira for a couple months and have not had a headache since Ive started treatment with her. She is so incredible with so many special talents. She knows the body better than anyone Ive met. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Nimira is the best!!! I had trigger fingers in both hands and after a round of softwave therapy I can open, close, & make a fist with both hands. It’s been over a year. At the beginning of thisyear I hurt my knee. After weeks of resting, icing, & wearing a brace I decided to do a round of softwave therapy. I am back to walking on a treadmill & working out with no ice, brace, or pain. These treatments have allowed me to enjoy the things I love.

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.

The Soft Wave Tissue Regeneration process really helped my right big toe bunion and the toes near it. It didnt cure the bunion but really helped breakdown the scar tissue around and near the big toe which allowed my foot to relax and begin to feel normal. Now, I can spread my toes out and it is a much more normal walking feeling. I ride a road bicycle regularly and it has reduced the pressure on my foot. Additionally, I suffered a left shoulder bicycle accident, and the treatment helped break down the scar tissue to give me full range motion and reduced pain in my left arm and shoulder. The process works. Dr. Nimira is friendly, professional, and caring. She was a pleasure to work with and I fully recommend her treatment. BTW, I am a regularly active 75 yr. male.LM

So, so grateful for Dr. Nimira! For years I have been trying everything under the sun to alleviate neck pain and headaches, but it wasnt until I started with Dr. Nimira that I started actually feeling better and attaining lasting results. I had seen ads for her specialty technique for months before deciding to jump on board, and now I only wish I would have started sooner. Dr. Nimira is personable, rooted in reality, smart, gentle and really good at what she does. I love the way she presents the process and shares what to expect at each step along the way. And her office is inviting, warm and happy...once you get a taste of the nap room, youll never miss an appointment again. ;) True healing takes time and this is no different, but Im so glad I committed to my health. Momming aint easy in general, but not feeling well physically and trying to take care of everyone else is crazy hard. Best money Ive spent in a long time by a longshot.
