What Our Patients Say
The finest Chiropractor practice in Newport Beach and Irange County. Dr. Samuelion is absolutely 5 Star in his analysis and treatment. If you need a Chiropractor go and see Back to Basics.
Phil DrachmanThe best thing you can do for yourself when you're pregnant is visit a chiropractor - particularly one who listens, cares and understands prenatal care. Dr. Ryan has been my saving grace throughout my pregnancy and I would recommend he and his team to anyone and everyone.

He was able to identify the source of my pain after a 2 minute assessment. Laser treatment, percussion, and a rib adjustment later, the healing process was underway. Within a day I had a dramatic increase in mobility and with a follow up appointment and neck adjustment, I was back to 100%. Highly recommend Back to Basics. Great staff, state of the art facility and excellent service. read less

Nicole is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met always going above and beyond when it comes to being flexible with appointment times. Nicole everytime I walk into the office goes out of her way to ask me how I’m doing, what’s new, and makes sure I’m comfortable with my stem and heat treatment. She’s amazing. Dr. Ryan.. Awesome guy. Great Doctor. I’ve seen him regularly since high school (2013) whenever I’ve felt discomfort Dr. Ryan dissects the trouble from what activities I was doing all the way to treatment and makes sure i feel 100%. Also can hold a conversation and doesn’t just turn you away so he can get to his next patient. Facilities are very clean and artsy. If you’re looking for a QUALITY chiropracticor and staff. Once you try B2B you won’t go anywhere else. read less

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. 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 travel a lot for work, so it is hard to find and build a good relationship with a chiropractor and to come up with a adjustment and recovery plan that works for me.
Having said that, I have been going to back to basics for the last 3 years (during the summer months) with huge improvements and longer lasting periods between flareups. Dr. Guitare has straighten me out and is continuing to help me to come up with stretches and exercises to remedy my problematic back.

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 less

Then there’s Dr. Ryan. As an athlete himself, his toolkit of knowledge for what the human body does is immense. He uses this knowledge to help all patients. He works on the patterns and causes, uses varying intensity of adjustments for the appropriate correction. Dr. Ryan is an amazing human and I’m lucky to have him work on my alignment and keep me training hard.
