Atlas Health Care Center

What Atlas Health Care Center does

Atlas Health Care Center is a privately-held, multi-disciplinary healthcare practice founded in 1996 by Dr. Shahram Ardalan, D.C. and based in Encino, California. The firm operates a single 7,000-square-foot facility at 17000 Ventura Blvd Suite 103 and serves individual consumers across the San Fernando Valley, Greater Los Angeles Area, and Ventura County. Its service portfolio combines chiropractic adjustments, FDA-cleared DRX9000 non-surgical spinal decompression, STORZ Medical shockwave therapy (including an aesthetic/anti-cellulite variant), acupuncture, acupressure, cupping, herbal medicine, NAET allergy elimination, physiotherapy (supported by a 2,500 sq ft rehab area), Pilates, massage therapy, pediatric and prenatal chiropractic, and the Ideal Protein ketogenic weight loss protocol. The clinical team includes three practitioners — Dr. Shahram Ardalan, D.C., Dr. Harut S. Rushanian, D.C. ("Dr. Rudy"), and Foroozan Ardalan, L.Ac., Ph.D. — supplemented by a Registered Dietitian (Sahar Tamari, MS, RD), PT assistants, and reception staff, consistent with the 11–50 employee range.

The practice generates revenue primarily through fee-for-service clinical visits billed to insurance, self-pay patients, and personal injury liens on auto-accident cases. Payment mechanics are pay-as-you-go for general services, with a subscription/weekly cadence for the Ideal Protein program that bundles coaching, weigh-ins, and meal replacement products. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct-to-consumer: same-day appointments, extended weekday hours, an in-house website with 60+ content pages, weekly free Wednesday evening workshops (with a $75-value body composition analysis used as a lead magnet), and a strong reliance on patient referrals, attorney referrals for PI cases, and Yelp reviews. The firm holds no parent company, has no subsidiaries, has never raised external capital, and conducts no disclosed M&A activity.

Operationally, the practice was renovated in 2022 and added Pilates, shockwave aesthetic, and additional modalities over time. The founder also co-founded United Spine Care in Downtown Los Angeles in 2016, indicating some multi-site entrepreneurial activity, although that entity operates separately. There is no disclosed revenue, no API, no mobile application, no AI/ML capability, and no public-market participation; the firm is a profitable-looking lifestyle medical practice whose principal assets are clinician reputation, a single physical location, and a multi-decade local brand.
