I am working with Dr. Shayna. I'm two sessions in, and everything has been going well! She's welcoming and friendly. The first session took an hour. She spent the first half an hour or so asking questions about what brought me into the office, my lifestyle, and other information to help her understand me as an individual. She also made some observations based on my posture and movement. During the hands on portion, she talked me through everything before it happened. It was a comfortable experience, and I look forward to going back to keep working with Dr. Shayna. Her methodology is to get me to a good place that can be sustained without continuously relying on her (she pitches it much better), and I thought that was great to hear. Putting the patient first over the bottom line. read more

Back To Basics - Cute touches for the kids - Chiropractors Near Me - Newport Beach, California

See all

Dr Emily has a magic touch! She's been incredible for the treatment of my back after a serious snowboarding fall causing minor whiplash and some crunching in my spine. I had been to the urgent care to get Xrayd so nothing was broken, but definitely had some tears or trauma to the soft tissue around my spine. I wasn't sleeping due to the pain, and having some migraines from the muscle tension and with her expertise she applied a combo of gentle forms of adjusting, soft tissue manipulation, massage and laser treatment. I was sleeping like a baby that first night. My neck and back was feeling much better after just one session, and after a few sessions enough to return to my normal physical activities and routine. I will keep coming back to Dr. Emily for occasional maintenance or when I overly exert myself lol read more

Dr jay is amazing. He is so helpful! I had sciatica down my right leg with major numbness and pain! It was so bad I was in tears. I Was going to chiropractor for two weeks with no improvement and saw him for one visit and wow! Amazing results. Highly recommend! read more

Been going to see Dr. Jay for 7+ years now, he has helped so much, my mom, my grandmother, and myself. No problem is too small or too big for Dr Jay. Not feeling well overall, depression, back problems, burnt out, PMS, digestive problems, migraines, help with finding your purpose, etc... Yes, he is an acupuncturist but he's even more than that, he's a true healer that works not only on the physical body but also the mental, he truly helps with everything. We are grateful to know him and ALWAYS feel so much better after seeing Dr. Jay. Thank you for all your work read more

There is nothing worse than being in pain and not being able to do the things you are used to. The thing I love most about Dr.R is his approach to chiropractic care. It's all about getting you functional -- you wanna play pickleball -- what do we need to do to get you there? He really takes the time to understand your body and what can be done to get the maximum performance possible Thank YOU! Highly recommend read more

Dr. Jay is truly amazing! He is knowledgeable, kind, and he listens to you. I felt amazing when I left. He was able to pinpoint the issues, and the treatments lasted well after the session. After the initial appointment, I bought a package of 5 sessions! His healing transcends just the physical level. Wonderful! read more

Doctor Shayna is absolutely amazing! I couldn't recommend somebody more. I went to see her postpartum with lower back pain and she was able to ease the pain I was feeling with a solid plan to fix the issues. I then took my mum to see her who has a pacemaker and was very nervous. Shayna was gentle, patient and kind with her body. She was able to explain the issues and why they were happening in a way that was easy for us to understand. Shayna takes her time explaining everything and what she is about to do before she does it. She takes more time and care with your body than any chiropractor I've been to. It's more like a spa day than a dreaded visit to the chiropractor! Don't hesitate a second longer and book your sesh with Shayna, you won't regret it! read more

I got to enjoy the blissful experience of the new Theraphi Technology with Dr. Jay Chung applying his acupuncture and vibrational medicine simultaneously! Very powerful AND rejuvenating experience for ANY body. Thank YOU! read more

Dr. Ryan is super patient and ACTUALLY listens to what issues or things you're dealing with. Too many people just assume things and listen to respond, rather than listening to listen. He takes time to adjust you and ensures you're aware of what's going on. I would definitely recommend him! read more

I was referred to Dr. Samuelian following a tennis injury. He did an excellent job treating me, listening to me and helping me with my recovery. I was in pain and scared but his calm demeanor guided me back to good health. I'm most appreciative! read more

Just had my first chiropractic visit ever. Was recommended by my sister - solid recommendation. Went in with super sharp neck pain. Amongst years of unmaintained work that needed to be done. Left with both legs realigned (one was 3/4 shorter than the other due to rotated pelvis), full ROM in my neck as well. Multiple adjustments. Dr shayna was amazing with me. Didn't rush me, really listened. Detailed, patient. All around made it completely comfortable, gentle, and zen. Would definitely- and actually did already recommend. Heading back in a week for more much needed work. I feel incredible. Thank you. read more

I have been seeing Katie, the massage therapist, on and off for almost 10 years. She has been incredible in helping heal my multiple injuries. She is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what she does and really focuses on helping you get to where you need to be. Dr. Shayna, the Chiropractor, first saw my mom as a patient. I went with my mom to her first appointment and Dr. Shayna spent an hour with her getting to know her bodies needs. She had a great attitude, was thorough and made me want to come back. Ever since, I've seen Dr. Shayna on a regular basis. I've felt improvement in my neck, back and hip since starting with her. She's the first chiropractor I've seen with an end goal in mind. I feel that she wants to fix the problem versus having me come for the unforeseeable future. Thank you Back to Basics! read more

Dr Jay is a very experienced healer. He is helping me with multiple issues, much appreciated that he recognizes underlying causes.

This review is LONG overdue!! Back to Basic has served as the corner stone of my wellness routine since I began care back in February. Both Dr. Ryan & Dr. Shayna have provided excellent care. Having a background in chiropractic myself as an assistant for 4+ years, I was very specific about the type of care I was seeking. Manual manipulation was a must and I was looking for localized individualized care as I am healing from multiple traumatic injuries, loss of cervical curvature and a recovered case of scoliosis from childhood. Each visit they take the time to check in and understand what my body has been up to since our previous visit. Aside from adjustments alone, I'm often offered heat, electrical stimulation and cold laser therapy to supplement my care. Emma and Christina at the front desk have been an absolute dream to work with. Everything from coordinating with insurance to getting scheduled has been smooth. I look forward to chatting with the gals every time I come in, they're always very warm and kind! Nicole the massage therapist here has an incredible gift. She has a specialized method of locating and releasing tension that is reminiscent of pressure point work and the gratin method. After my first session, my shoulders literally dropped 2 inches further away from my ears - I left feeling renewed and lighter. As an avid believer and massage paired with chiropractic care for literally years and years I can honestly say I've never had this drastic and lasting of a result. Through continued care, I'm pleased to report that my upper body released even more stress and stored trauma and I have never felt better. She's also a genuine and beautiful soul! I typically don't prefer to talk during sessions, but have during a handful of ours and am so grateful for the aligned, healing connection that I've experienced. Overall, I can't say enough about the positive, healing energy that exists here both in the office and within each member of the team. Truly wishing there was a rating higher than five stars to give, it would be well deserved!! read more

Dr. Ryan is amazing. Dr. Ryan is a former collegiate athlete himself and so he understands the needs of an athlete. Dr. Ryan always went above and beyond to make sure I was getting the care I needed. I highly recommend Dr. Ryan. read more

My health improved so much after seeing Dr. Jay. I highly recommended! He has a special skill to heal people.

Staff is great and Dr Ryan is amazing! Had bad lower back pain and since seeing Dr Ryan it improved quickly. Recommend to everyone!

I don't know why I have not rated Back to Basics before. My family and I are all regular patients now. If anything hurts physically, we come to Dr. Shayna or Dr. Ryan. In regards to deeper emotional and mental stress help and more, we come to Dr. Jay. All I have to say is thank GOD for these doctors. They have changed our lives for the better. read more

This review is long overdue. Seven years ago I was rear ended and met Dr. Ryan. All previous doctors just said where's it hurt, did an adjustment and asked for a payment. Dr. Ryan took the time to talk with me about the accident, previous injuries, current activity and recommended we do x-rays to make sure there weren't any surprises. This attention to detail was the difference of me finding out that my spine was severely out of place from the accident. I am feeling great now, and visit his office to give my body a tune up when I push things a little too hard. My wife and I even took our kids to him when they we're infants to make sure they were developing correctly. Highly recommend visiting Dr. Ryan. *Side Note: He's not in my insurance network and I drive 15 miles because I value his talent. read more

Back to Basics should be the bar Chiropractic practices are set too! It starts with Nicole, who manages the office with a smile and a warm greeting. Sets and confirms appointment's, handles billing and ensures you are comfortable from the moment you walk through the door. A great service, Nicole manages a service where you get a text confirming your appointment and a reminder the day before. For me, this is invaluable as a busy salesman. Dr. Ryan and Dr. Tom are terrific! They never rush, do a through job of ensuring they understand why you have come in and tailor your treatment to relieve your discomfort. They genuinely care about your entire health care, not just adjustments for sake of adjusting you. Star; a magnificent massage therapist who works closely with the Doctors to prepare you for the most effective adjustment possible given your condition. She is also a wonderful human being who genuinely cares about people. Dr. Lee, a wonderful acupuncturist who is skillful in diagnosis and custom treatments offering sustained relief. He too is very patient making sure he understands your complete environment to ensure he addresses your needs. The Back to Basics Team has built an awesome facility incorporating personalized care with state of art equipment. Just a footnote; I moved to Carlsbad in San Diego County 2 years ago from Huntington Beach. I mention this because I have continued to drive to Newport Beach for treatment by this Team. read more

I love this practice. They have everything you need to fix and maintain the health of your body. My friend drives from Temecula just to see them. read more

Dr. Ryan and Dr. Shayna are both excellent! I've had back issues for years and it is all finally manageable thanks to the team at Back to Basics. After a back injury while moving and lifting heavy boxes I shouldn't have, they got me in right away, did X-rays to see what the issue was, then created a great treatment plan and walked me through every step of the way to make sure I felt my best. They even have an incredible laser machine that has really helped my back. I now see them every 4-6 weeks for adjustments and to make sure my alignment is on track - sitting at a desk all day working on the computer really does a number on your neck. Very grateful to find a team I can trust that really takes their time to care for me. read more

If I could give six stars I would. Dr Ryan is the best Chiro I've ever had since I started going 25 years ago. I stayed with him even after my insurance changed because he is that good. read more

I have had severe back pains for years. But now my back is back to normal thanks to Dr Shayna. She got me on the MedX machine and it has worked unbelievable miracles. I am not exaggerating. I was at the point where I thought I would be in a wheel chair. Now I'm at the point where I can sleep and wake up with no pain! She started me off at a low weight of 76 pounds. We are no up to 140 lbs with a goal of 220 lbs. I had never thought of working lower back muscles. But the MedX machine at Back to Basics is truly miraculous! Thank you Dr Shayna read more

I can not say enough good things about Back to Basics. When I first came I was struggling with neck and shoulder pain, limited range of motion, and major headaches. It was difficult to work and do everyday tasks. Previous chiropractors had pressured me to quit my job, basically saying they could not help me and left me feeling hopeless. Dr. Ryan and his team helped me get back to fully functioning with a brighter-looking future!! My husband and I have come to him for various other things throughout the many years since then. Dr. Ryan is patient, compassionate, and will put you at ease. Everyone at Back to Basics is personable and excellent at what they do!! I am very grateful and thankful for all of them! Don't hesitate to make an appointment and get the help you need. read more

Friendly staff, clean and aesthetic office, absolutely great massage by Star! Would definitely recommend!

I am so impressed with the Back to Basics office, and Dr. Shayna in particular. The office itself is a great atmosphere - very kind receptionist, clean Appointment and waiting rooms, warm and welcoming atmosphere. Dr. Shayna helped me tremendously right away from my first appointment. Pinpointing some causes to my pain and discomfort and made strides to improving them over each visit. Always making me feel very comfortable throughout the appointments and feeling better in the days after. My body is very grateful for her!!! I just wish I would have started coming to see her sooner! read more

So grateful for Dr. J and Dr. Ryan for their help in healing me. Both of these Doctors truly care about their patients and their overall well being. I have been seeing both of them for a year now and have some amazing results in my overall health. Dr J- is like no other acupuncturist. He has the gift of being a healer and so in tune with the core of what is going on with you and your bodies health. I went to him for insomnia and menopause symptoms. In the year I have been seeing him he has helped me with both of the above and much more: Grief, trauma, vertigo, stress, and the list can go on. He gets to the core of why your body is not well. He has given me my love for life again through his healing of my hearts grief. I had lost 4 family members in one year, which alone I could not have healed my own heart- my grief was so deep. I will forever be grateful for him for the impact he has had on my overall well being. Dr. Ryan- I went to him for sciatica and in the resent months I have been able to go without pain. To be honest, I don't really like the thought of going to a chiropractor because in the past my experiences have been kinda rough. That is not the case with Dr. Ryan, his educational, gentle, compassionate way of adjusting me allows me to trust him. My mantra when he is about to adjust my neck (which has been the scariest part of adjustments in the past) is "you can trust Dr. Ryan, he's got you, Relax!". He is the only chiropractor I have ever felt comfortable with and have had results. The front office staff- Emma and Christina are super friendly and helpful. So with all that said, if you are looking for an acupuncturist or chiropractor, start healing with these two amazing Doctors. You will understand why I have written this Yelp review with so much admiration of them as healers. Thank you Dr. J and Dr. Ryan! read more

I have been a happy patient at Back to Basics for more than 10 years & followed them from their old office to their new one! The entire staff is wonderful, but I can't say enough about Dr. Shayna, Star, Emma & Christina!! You'll feel right at home & they'll take great care of you...highly recommend!! read more

Phil Rojas is the best massage therapist I have ever been to he's great for sports injuries, for a foot hand and neck massage I feel like a million dollars when I walk out of the office. Strong...recommend him ...no one can compare read more

Back to Basics is the most thorough wellness center I've ever been to. Dr. Jay does my acupuncture treatment and Dr. Ryan does my chiropractic care. They work together and I feel both are in tune with my total well-being. I highly recommend them! read more

This place is just magical. Staff is very friendly and amazing. Dr. Jay is God sent. The name 'Back to Basics' is spot on and program. The visits with Dr. Jay let me recreate a life that makes me feel at peace with myself from deep inside. After my first visit and treatment I knew and felt, I am walking back into my purpose. Whatever you are dealing with in your life, Dr. Jay will support you and guide you on a healing journey you most likely have not experienced! read more

I have been a patient of Back to Basics for 2 years. Dr. Ryan and team have taken excellent care of my sciatica problem. I am now in maintenance mode with stretching and strengthening exercises. I have never been pressured to "maximize insurance coverage" the way that some practices do. A very professional and comfortable environment. read more

First time I came to see a chiropractor was this place and it didn't disappoint. My hip issue was taken care of right away thanks to Dr. Shayna. I have been seeing her regularly just to maintain my alignment as I am very active in the gym with group fitness classes. The location is right off the freeway so it's quick to get to and the office is very inviting. I always look forward to my visits. Thank you Dr. Shayna and staff! read more

3 years ago I had some really major back problems and this place was recommended by a co worker. I had a great experience with them and after doing some sessions with them my back felt a lot better. Fast forward 3 years and my pain came back. Going to a regular doctor only nets me pain medication which I'm not a big fan of, so I decided to go back to back to basics. So far the treatment they put me on has really helped me deal with the pain while on my road to recovery. One thing I really like about this place is how they treat you. All patients are treated on a personal level and this place is not like most places where doctors are just rushing people through their appointment like they are cattle. read more

I started going to B2B in 2008 after injuring myself rollerblading (don't ask... it was a stupid mistake that lead to tweaking my back and leg). I was in so much pain! It hurt to sleep, to sit, to drive... everything. I was 28 years old and yet I felt like I was 70!!! I tried massage first and that didn't help and I was desperate for help. I wasn't new to chiropractic care--I had seen chiropractors as a teen in Florida and always had good results with the doctor my parents saw. But, I was also aware that not all chiropractic offices are truly interested in healing the patient. So, I searched google for local chiropractic offices and read lots of reviews. Back to Basics seemed to be legit, so i made an appointment with Dr Tom that day. After chatting about the injury that led me to seek his help, he took X-rays and we talked about what was going on. He then did more measurements and after some e-stim, he adjusted me. I immediately felt relief from the debilitating pain and scheduled a follow up for a few days later. After about two weeks of bi-weekly visits, I was pain-free and back to normal!!! I have been continuing to see Dr Tom and Dr Ryan for the past 10 years on an as-needed basis to adjust my back and neck. I find both doctors incredibly gentle, skilled, and professional. They listen intently to your needs and complaints and will try a variety of methods to help you--whatever is most appropriate for the issue you are dealing with. They are knowledgeable in chiropractic care as well as physical therapy treatments and have an acupuncturist and massage therapists on staff as well. If you haven't scheduled a massage with their therapists, do it now! They're both amazing! Nicole, the receptionist/office manager extraordinaire is warm, welcoming and very helpful. In the past ten years I've moved around OC quite a bit, but I still make the drive to Newport to see the doctors at Back to Basics whenever I have an issue that needs chiropractic care. They are absolutely the BEST in Orange County and I feel so blessed to have found them so long ago. read more

Dr. Shayna is the best! She keeps my body functioning at full stream. I'll be dunking in the NBA in no time!

I've only been going to Back to Basics for 2-3 weeks and love everything about it -- the staff, positive & soothing atmosphere, efficiency, scheduling and how good I feel afterward. Dr. Jay has helped me with several stomach & medication issues, plus acupuncture for my lower back. I feel better physically and emotionally and will continue on with maintenance visits indefinitely. I've always feared chiropractors --mostly due to lack of understanding about what they do. After just two visits with Dr. Ryan, my back feels immensely improved and I look forward to continuing with whatever plan he devises for me. I can't recommend this group of wellness experts highly enough and am so glad I had friends who referred me there. read more

The Garland family would like to thank Back to Basics for keeping us healthy and our bodies pain free. Dr. Ryan and Dr. Shayna both take their time to find out how they can help both myself, my husband, and two teenage sons who are both very active. I trust them both completely to put us on the path of recovery after an injury or just maintenance on our chiro. health. read more

I have been coming to Back To Basics for approximately 10 years, on and off, I have tried others close to me, but none compare to this place, no matter how far I move away, this place will forever be my designated chiropractor! They helped me through 2 back surgeries, recovery, massage, adjustments, etc., I cannot say enough about them! read more
