Living Your Healthiest Life

Conditions We Treat

Discover the comprehensive range of brain and spine conditions we specialize in diagnosing and treating. Our expert care is tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient, helping you achieve optimal health and well-being.

 

Concussion

Even a "mild" concussion can lead to lingering issues like brain fog, light sensitivity, and memory disruption. Rest alone isn't always enough for a full recovery. We provide thorough neurological evaluations and evidence-based rehabilitation protocols tailored to your specific injury. Our focused care is designed to actively and safely guide your brain's healing process, helping you return to your daily routine.

Headaches and Migraines

Chronic headaches and migraines do more than cause pain—they drain your energy and disrupt your focus. We understand how frustrating it is to live in fear of the next attack. Our specialists go beyond temporary symptom management to uncover the root causes of your head pain. Through targeted, advanced treatments, we work to break the cycle of pain and provide you with lasting relief.

Dizziness

Constant dizziness, vertigo, or a feeling of unsteadiness can make everyday tasks feel overwhelming and unsafe. These symptoms often stem from complex vestibular or neurological issues. Our expert team utilizes comprehensive diagnostics to pinpoint exactly what is affecting your balance. With personalized rehabilitation plans, we are committed to restoring your stability and helping you move with confidence again.

Dysautonomia

Living with dysautonomia means navigating unpredictable symptoms like rapid heart rate, chronic fatigue, and blood pressure changes. It can feel like your body is out of sync. At California Brain & Spine Center, we focus on identifying the specific neurological triggers of your condition. Our customized, non-invasive therapies are designed to stabilize your autonomic nervous system and help you regain control of your everyday life.

GO HERE, FEEL BETTER, HEAL BETTER.

California Brain and Spine Center is truly next level, and Dr. Alireza is unlike anyone I have ever worked with.

He is not just a chiropractor. He is not just a neurologist. He is a magician of both. What makes his work so unique is the way he takes his background in electrical engineering and applies it to the way the body functions through electrical units, electrical systems, and neurological communication. He understands that the body has a frequency, and that when there is distortion within that system, it can impact how we think, feel, move, heal, and experience life.

His level of analysis, preparation, diagnosis, and application is high art. It is detailed, intentional, and incredibly advanced. Whether you are dealing with brain fog, dizziness, headaches, eye strain, irritability, or simply feel like something is off and no one has been able to figure it out, this is the place to go.

If you are looking for someone who will actually take the time to get to the root cause of what is going on, help you understand your body, and guide you toward living the life you want to live, Dr. Alireza is that person.

I do not urge you to walk to California Brain and Spine. I urge you to run as fast as you can. The care here is next level, and I truly believe people all throughout Calabasas are going to be talking about the work being done here.

Anytime I have the opportunity to see Dr. Alireza, I will make it happen. The connection I have made with him, not just as a patient but as a person, has been deeply meaningful. This is a man who does not just want to help one person at a time. He wants to help one person heal so they can go on and help another.

That is the kind of work that changes lives, and ultimately, changes the world.

It’s hard to describe the impact California Brain and Spine Center has had in my life. After two years of searching for answers to help my concussion/TBI, I was referred to Dr. Chizari and I am SO glad I showed up for that free consult. He was the first doctor to listen to every single symptom, have empathy, do actual testing to see what was wrong and present solutions to each symptom. He is professional, understanding, has personal experience with family members suffering from brain injuries, incredibly smart, and dedicated to helping you feel better. There is no ego – he is simply working to help make a difference in each patient’s life. Gilda, the office manager, is compassionate and caring, quick to respond, and a bright spot in my day when I have appointments!

When I did the initial round of testing, I was suffering from daily headaches, numbness in my face, sound sensitivity, depression and anxiety, brain fog, and an overall sense of hopelessness. After 24 appointments and at home exercises, 90% of my symptoms are completely gone. It made a huge difference.

If you’re suffering from a brain injury or concussion and feel like you’ve tried everything… I would would 100% encourage you to try this. It not only brought so much healing to my life, but hope for my future.

Dr. Alireza was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and compassionate throughout the entire process. He took the time to perform a detailed evaluation, explain my condition, and create a personalized treatment plan. The staff was professional, welcoming, and genuinely cared about my progress.

Over time, I noticed significant improvements in my headaches, dizziness, mental clarity, balance, and overall quality of life. If you are looking for concussion treatment in Calabasas, CA or need help with post-concussion syndrome, whiplash injuries, brain fog, headaches, dizziness, vertigo, or balance disorders, I highly recommend California Brain Center. Dr. Alireza and his team are experts in helping patients recover and get back to doing the things they love.

I came to California Brain and Spine Center in very poor condition after my accident. I was suffering from vertigo, migraines, and pain in my arms, neck, and spine. After several treatment sessions with Dr. Chizhari, I truly started feeling much better and noticed real positive improvement in my condition. Honestly, all my hope is in this doctor, and I truly believe he will help bring me back to good health. The office experience has also been wonderful. The staff is very kind, attentive, professional, and caring. From the moment you walk in, they make you feel comfortable and supported during a very difficult time. Dr. Chizhari and an office team like this are exactly what people need — compassionate, knowledgeable, attentive, and truly dedicated to helping patients heal. I am very grateful for all the care and support I have received here.

Dr. Chizari and the team at California Brain & Spine Center were truly life-changing in my recovery journey. After suffering from complex post-concussion syndrome, I was dealing with debilitating neurological symptoms that affected every aspect of my life — my ability to work, sleep, focus, maintain relationships, and function day to day. I had seen multiple providers through my insurance, but no one seemed to fully understand what I was going through or how to help me recover.

From the very beginning, Dr. Chizari approached my case with compassion, confidence, and an incredible depth of knowledge. He took the time to thoroughly assess my condition and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to my specific neurological challenges. Instead of dismissing the complexity of my symptoms, he leaned into the challenge and worked tirelessly to help me heal.

Because of the severity of my condition, I completed an intensive treatment program over several weeks. The progress I experienced was beyond what I thought was possible. My symptoms improved dramatically, and for the first time in a long time, I felt hopeful again. Dr. Chizari not only helped me recover physically, but also supported me emotionally throughout the process.

I can honestly say that California Brain & Spine Center helped me get my life back. I am deeply grateful for the care, dedication, and expertise I received.

Dr. Ali at California Brain & Spinal Center is truly exceptional. His care, precision, and deep knowledge have made such a difference in my health. He takes the time to listen, explain, and treat the root cause, not just the symptoms. I’m incredibly grateful for his skill and the genuine compassion he brings to every visit. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for real, lasting results.

I’m a 34-year-old woman and for the longest time, I couldn’t figure out what was happening to my body. I was constantly dizzy, my heart would race out of nowhere, and even simple things like standing in line or taking a shower would leave me feeling exhausted and shaky. I later found out I had POTS, but even after the diagnosis, I still felt lost.

I had seen a few doctors before coming here, and while some were helpful, I often felt like my symptoms were brushed off or just managed instead of really understood. By the time I found California Brain & Spine Center, I was honestly frustrated and starting to feel like this was just my “new normal.”

From the first visit, things felt different. The team actually took the time to listen to everything I was experiencing without rushing me. They explained things in a way that made sense, and for the first time, I felt like someone was connecting the dots instead of just treating isolated symptoms.

What stood out to me the most was how thorough the evaluation was. It wasn’t just a quick exam—they really looked at how my balance, vision, and nervous system were all working together. It helped me understand why I felt the way I did.

I’m still in the process of treatment, but I can honestly say I’ve started to feel changes. My dizziness isn’t as overwhelming as before, and I feel a little more stable day to day. Even more important, I feel hopeful again, which is something I hadn’t felt in a while.

If you’re dealing with POTS or similar symptoms and feel like you’re not being heard, I would definitely recommend giving this place a try. It’s not just about treatment—it’s about finally feeling understood.

I came to California Brain & Spine Center after exhausting every option with other medical professionals and still finding no answers. I had been diagnosed with PPPD and VBD and had been suffering for nearly five years—three of those years were absolutely unbearable. My condition forced me to stop working and go on disability. I couldn’t tolerate looking at a computer screen, much less drive. I lived in a constant state of disorientation, brain fog, and overwhelming anxiety. My blood pressure was high, and I made countless trips to the ER.
Even something as simple as sleep became a nightmare. I would go to bed dizzy and wake up dizzy. Medications didn’t help at all. I felt hopeless and desperate to get my life back, but no one could tell me what was truly going on.

Everything changed when I found Dr. Chizari.

From the very first visit, he gave me something I hadn’t felt in years—hope. Through his unique methods and data-driven approach, he was able to understand what was happening with my brain in a way no one else had. Beyond his expertise, he is a genuinely kind, compassionate, and attentive doctor who truly cares about his patients.

Because of Dr. Chizari and his work, I am now functional again. I feel alive, present, and hopeful for the future. I am incredibly grateful and would highly recommend him to anyone who feels like they’ve run out of answers. There is hope, and I found it here.

I struggled for many months with chronic migraines, went to multiple doctors, and was left with no real answers. I was very concerned and the pain continued until I found California Brain & Spine Center. I finally feel some relief & can function again. Thank you so much. Highly recommend.

I can’t believe I finally found a place that truly cares this much about their patients. This place is such an incredible experience — the team is kind, and genuinely invested in helping you heal.

If you’re dealing with POTS, VERTIGO, Long Covid, or similar issues, I highly recommend coming here. It’s rare to find a place that combines real care with real results.

For anyone trying to find it: it’s on Park Granada — the last driveway on the right before you get to Park Sorrento. I included photos to make it easier for others to locate.

So grateful I found this place. Highly, highly recommend!

Dr. Ali is incredible. I came to his functional neurology clinic after a car accident, struggling with significant fatigue and an inability to focus. Not only did his protocol help resolve those immediate symptoms, but it also addressed lingering effects from past sports concussions and even challenges related to ADHD and dyslexia that had been impacting me in ways I didn’t fully recognize until they improved.

As a sports psychologist, I was especially impressed by how comprehensive his approach is. I learned how effective his work can be for athletes recovering from concussions, as well as for enhancing auditory and visual reaction time and overall brain processing.

I truly believe many people could benefit from his process — whether you’re recovering from a concussion and not “autocorrecting” the way you should, or you’re looking to gain a competitive edge by training your brain. Dr. Ali’s work goes far beyond symptom relief; it optimizes how your brain functions.

Highly recommend.

I first came to California Brain & Spine Center after experiencing ongoing headaches, balance issues, and anxiety following a car accident. Dr Chizari not only provided excellent medical care but took the time to listen and showed genuine compassion throughout my 3 months of treatment. He is patient and kind and showed concern for how I was feeling at each appointment while creating a treatment plan to help me. The treatments and exercises he worked with me on, including sessions with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) have greatly improved not only my original symptoms, but my brain fog is clearer and I've been sleeping much better as well. I’ve been provided with the tools I need going forward at home to control anxiety when it arises and keep my brain healthy. Dr Chizari sincerely wants the best for his patients and I’m very thankful for the care I received. Do not hesitate to contact him, I’m sure you’ll be grateful you did.

Dr. Chizari helped me SOOOOOOOO MUCH. When I came in for initial testing in December after a car accident 2.5+ years ago I was still having a hard time recovering from though I'd been in countless treatments (I think 17+ practitioners at that point), he gave me a thorough interview before testing to discuss my symptoms and what treatments I'd been doing. In the tests, I failed- off the charts badly- 9/12 vestibular system checks. I only had healthy balance in 1/12. I had many vision issues and my nervous system was highly activated within the left side of my body (factors like dilation of the left eye vs right and others told, and I'd been hit on left side mainly of back of my head). He is so attentive and gave me almost more at home exercises than I could handle but I did them diligently and by the time I left I improved all of the things we tested exponentially based off my final testing! I can read and focus again, and do mental math I couldn't and cried trying to do a very basic question in the first test (emotional post concussion issues are improved too). I have more energy, my executive functioning came back, I'm taking care of my life and finances in a way I didn't have the capacity too at all before the treatments with him, and kicking butt frankly it feels like compared to before the treatments with him! I was afraid to do hyperbaric chamber but in the end I know it helped greatly. I highly recommend Dr. Chizari and California Brain & Spine whole heartedly!! You will be so happy with your results-- people in my community can see visibly how much better I am just in conversations etc-- and do your homework :)!!

The kindest doctor with a gift for healing. His approach is data driven. My initial visit was a thorough 2-3 hours where I was hooked up to sensors to confirm what was happening in my nervous system. I was pleased to see the data afterwards and compare it to regular, healthy baseline patients, which showed the areas I needed help in. His approach in physical therapy is unique to each person's needs. A very inspiring individual that is committed to helping patients feel their best selves again. I feel in control again.
