    Wobble chair

    Back in Action Bodyworks was recommended to me by my neice and her husband. I'm so glad I went with their recommendation because I've had the best chiropractic experience. Within a short amount of time into my personally designed treatment, I was feeling little to no pain in my neck.Dr. Ruge, Dr. Nunez, Violet and Rachel have made me feel seen, heard and taken care of. They clearly know what they are doing and are generous with their knowledge and information which has helped me understand and listen to my body better. Their office is clean and fully equipped with massage tables, decompression machine and exercise equipment like this amazing wobble chair. I look forward to my visits and enjoy my time when I'm there.

    WORDS DON'T WORK! I walked into Dr Ruge's office and my life has been reformed. Pain had become an everyday grind and even a promoinent local back surgeon said he couldn't help. BACK IN ACTION does just what they claim IF YOU PARTNER WITH THEM to regain strength and mobility then healing comes and the PAIN FREE life you thought was gone comes back into view. I am not 100% (yet) but Dr Rufe has a multiple phase plan for my specific targets and l already experiencing some great experiences of "testing" what real rejuvenation feels like... only thing better is Jesus! Dr Ruge had an immediate plan for me - l bet if you are willing to heel, he's got a plan to you. Oh, and shout out to his partner in crime, Violet. She directs every set of a multitude of soothing, healing mechanical therapy circuit and is professional and personable. Also completely aware of what the Doctor would like to do to progress you healing. Closing words... BE present and take part in your health. Second, do what they tell you... follow your exercise plan and ALWAYS ICE UP!!! Third, personal word of encouragement, trust there is an active world ahead if you dedicate just 20 minutes of your free time EACH DAY to remind your muscles and bones that you mean business. Back in Action is real. Respectfully, Alan Gerardi UCSD BS BIOLOGY 1986

    The best decompression in the South Bay!

    Dr. Ruge is the best chiropractor I have ever had hands down! Over 20 years of experience in his field! He is a great listener, takes thorough notes and has excellent bed side manner. The staff at this facility is friendly, patient and knowledgeable. Throughout the facility they have essential oils burning to help relax patients minds. I do realise that after having an accident it's often hard for the body to recover. I do believe with time and his healing touch it is possible to get back to almost normal. He treats all ages as young as even 8 yrs of age I believe to those who are in their twilight years and dependant of a cane or walker. Give him shot I promise you won't be disappointed!

From the moment I walked in, the team made me feel supported, informed, and genuinely cared for. Dr. Sam was exceptional. His approach was thorough, thoughtful, and incredibly effective. He took the time to understand exactly what I was experiencing, explained what was happening in a way that made sense, and created a treatment plan that felt tailored to me. His confidence and expertise immediately put me at ease. The best part? The pain is completely gone. No more nerve pain, no more radiating discomfort -- just relief. I honestly didn't expect to feel this good this quickly. If you're dealing with pain, nerve issues, or anything that's affecting your quality of life, I can't recommend South Bay Pain and Wellness Center and Dr. Sam highly enough.

My wife was at a point where walking was a real struggle, and through Dr. Zaker's care, patience, and expertise, she is now back on her feet and living her life again. Watching that transformation has been nothing short of amazing. Now, I'm personally under his care for severe back pain, and the level of attention, customization, and genuine concern he gives is something you don't come across often. He doesn't treat you like just another patient--he truly listens, tailors every treatment, and makes you feel like your recovery matters just as much to him as it does to you. And his staff? Absolutely top-tier. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with kindness, professionalism, and a positive energy that makes a huge difference when you're dealing with pain. They are organized, attentive, and go out of their way to make every visit smooth and comfortable. Dr. Zaker isn't just a chiropractor--he's someone who genuinely changes lives. I'm beyond grateful for what he's done for my wife and what he's continuing to do for me. If you're in pain or feel like you've run out of options, this is the place to go.

I'm an avid believer in chiropractic therapy and found that Dr Wong was one of the best in my experience. I've had several issues with back pain and see Dr Wong on a monthly maintenance schedule plus massage therapy from Dr Wong's physical therapist, Julia. With his treatments and therapy I'm able to keep my back issues controlled. I have also referred friends to Dr Wong that were not able to get neck and shoulder relief through other means and within a few visits were pain free. I highly recommend his practice for anyone experiencing neck / back issues.

They offer flexible appointment times, quick availability, and text reminders that make everything effortless. Even better, they actually follow up after visits to check on progress, which is something you rarely see anymore. From the moment I walked in, I felt taken seriously and genuinely cared for. Dr. Sahrai's diagnostic skills are on another level -- he doesn't just treat symptoms, he explains what's happening, why it's happening, and what the plan is to fix it. He caught things other providers completely missed, and the way he breaks down complex issues makes you feel informed and empowered. The quality of care is exceptional. Every adjustment is intentional, precise, and tailored to what your body needs that day. He combines hands‑on work with corrective exercises, posture guidance, and practical tips you can use at home. My back and shoulder pain improved faster than I expected, and I finally feel like I'm getting long‑term solutions instead of temporary relief. The whole office is warm, organized, and professional -- you never feel rushed, and they truly treat you like a person, not a number. If you're looking for a chiropractor who is knowledgeable, thorough, and genuinely invested in your healing, Dr. Sahrai is the one. I'm so grateful I found this place.

He does these specific stretches during the adjustment that made a huge difference, and he definitely went above and beyond what I expected for a first appointment. My partner even noticed that the lump was finally gone after my visit and told me my walking and posture look way better. I'm complaining about pain so much less now and just feel more aligned. Even a few weeks later, my back and neck are still feeling great. I'm definitely looking forward to adding these visits to my regimen whenever I'm in pain again and need an adjustment.
