Dr. Shayna has been absolutely phenomenal! She's been helping me navigate a torn labrum, rebuilding shoulder strength and back pain. I leverage her expertise in addition to physical therapy and I couldn't be happier with the results. Don't hesitate to reach out to her.

Dr. Ryan is professional and an amazing chiropractor! He takes time to really understand what is going on with your body, and has recommendations for additional exercises and strengthening you can do alone. He's adjusted my entire family for years! The office is welcoming and cozy! Finally, both my husband and I have received massages from many of the individuals on staff. Each massage has been great and a good compliment to our adjustments. Furthermore, with the specials they offer periodically, the massages are always a good deal!

I live in South Pasadena so my testament to how good this place is shows with the traffic I endure to make the trip. I work with Dr. Shayna for adjustments and get massages regularly from Katie. Dr. Shayna is extremely knowledgeable and helpful in tacking any of the problems I bring to her and she is such a delight to be around. I have had hundreds of massages and Katie is one of the best masseuses I've ever had.

She has a "search and destroy" tactic that is also somehow relaxing and calming and I always leave feeling like butter. The front desk staff is also extremely easy to deal with. The entire experience in this location is always positive one.

Back to Basics is wonderful! Beyond being prompt and professional, I have found Dr. Ryan's approach to be meticulous, tailored, and thoughtful. He will carefully listen and evaluate your condition and needs. He provides a very high level of care, taking time to explain your treatment plan and documenting notes at each visit. When I have seen Dr. Shayna on occasion, Dr. Ryan has consulted her to ensure my treatment continues to progress. The entire staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and caring on top of it all!

I've been a regular at Back to Basics since February and I have to say I absolutely love this place. Shayna is my chiropractor and she does a phenomenal job. She takes her time assessing, listening, and treating. She's been helping me with my chronic neck issues and I look forward to every single appointment. I've also had massages from Nicole and Katie and they both do a wonderful job and really know their stuff. The whole office and staff is amazing and so welcoming. I highly recommend coming here if you're having pain or just need to relax. Thank you Back to Basics!

I've been a patient at Back to Basics for over 12 years, they are the absolute BEST. Prior to that, I had pretty severe back issues and was not having success with chiropractors. Dr. Ryan changed all of that--he is SO thorough, has a very gentle and compassionate approach, and most importantly I've had amazing results and feel great. He's changed my perception of chiropractic care.

I had received acupuncture treatments in the past, but Dr. Jay is a game changer on every level, I've never met anyone like him. He incorporates herbal remedies, flower essence therapy, energy work and SO much more. His healing techniques have made a huge impact in my life physically and emotionally. I highly recommend seeing the amazing team at Back to Basics. From Emma to the doctors and amazing massage therapists, I don't know what I would do without them!

Dr. Ryan is helping me with pain in my low back and neck. He takes the time to teach me specific exercises and movements that are helping me to gain better flexibility and applies appropriate adjustments and other treatments to ease discomfort. His caring manner and ability to listen give me confidence in him. His office is very clean and his staff are always cheerful and helpful. All in all, a great experience!

Where to begin?!?! Reception/Staff (Christina and Emma) are incredibly friendly, professional and accommodating to patient schedules. I've been regularly seeing Dr.s Ryan and Shayna for more than 12 years due to chronic lower back issues from a prior injury and I can't say enough about their attention to my injury, discussions surrounding maintenance therapy and lifestyle strategies to physically function as best possible. Additionally, I've been regularly receiving massage therapy from Katie (who's the best!) to provide musculo-skeletal relief and she demonstrates the attention and understanding of my specific areas of pain and discomfort that I wish I could afford her services daily!

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.

Best chiropractic experience I've ever had! Dr. Ryan and the entire staff were kind and professional. Dr. Ryan helped me with my chest injury in just a few weeks. He was able to get me back to my lifestyle seamlessly and pain free and I am so grateful! I will definitely revisit Dr. Ryan and the Back to Basics office for all my future health needs!
