Back Bay Wellness & Chiropractic — Local services in Newport Beach

My husband and I have seen countless chiropractors over the years, and frankly, the experiences have been subpar at best. We were constantly receiving quick adjustments with no real improvement. That all changed when we found Dr. Alex at Back Bay Wellness and Chiropractic. After following him on TikTok and Instagram, we were drawn to his functional approach to chiropractic care. What stood out immediately was how much time he dedicates to truly understanding his patients. During our initial appointments, he took the time to sit down with us, conduct thorough consultations, and even did x-rays — something no other chiropractor had done for us in over six years.

Since then, we’ve been seeing Dr. Alex bi-weekly, and the improvements have been incredible. Personally, he’s helped a ton with my posture and back pain after carrying a twin pregnancy, and for my husband, the results have been nothing short of life-changing. My husband has severe neck deterioration and has been living with chronic pain for years. After just a handful of adjustments with Dr. Alex, his pain has greatly subsided, and we finally feel like we’re on a path to long-term relief.

Dr. Alex is a truly down-to-earth practitioner who not only focuses on current issues but also takes a proactive approach to ensure our health is on the right track for the future. His expertise, combined with his genuine care, makes every visit worthwhile.

We can’t thank Dr. Alex and the entire Back Bay Wellness team enough — including Dr. Belling, who is always so kind and welcoming, and the front desk staff, who are beyond accommodating. The whole team makes the experience feel both personal and professional. If you’re looking for real, lasting results and compassionate care, I highly recommend Back Bay Wellness. They are simply the best!

Thank you again to Dr. Alex and the team for everything you’ve...

I reached out to this office after watching Dr. Alex’s videos online. His adjustments, like the “magic hug” and chin strap decompression, really intrigued me, and I was excited to try them as a first-time patient. Unfortunately, Dr. Alex wasn’t available, so I booked with Dr. Ryan, who had more availability. The staff was very friendly and helpful throughout the booking process.

The first-time patient offer included an exam, X-rays, and a full-body adjustment. Although the price was higher than I’ve paid before, I was willing to invest based on Dr. Alex’s impressive videos. When I arrived, the front desk staff and the X-ray technician were welcoming and professional. I give them five stars.

Dr. Ryan reviewed my X-rays and gave a detailed talk about posture and neck issues, which I had mentioned in my pre-appointment forms. I was eager for the full-body adjustment, but to my disappointment, he only performed three adjustments—neck, back/shoulder, and lower back—despite my expectation of more based on the offer and the long drive I made.

Afterward, I felt unsure about the value for what I paid but went ahead and settled the bill. On the drive home, I called the office to express my concerns, and the woman I spoke with seemed to agree that I should have received more. She took my details and said she would follow up with the office, but I have yet to hear back.

I’m not one to complain often, but after spending so much money and time, I felt the need to leave this review. It could have been a simple miscommunication or a busy day, and I’m open to giving them another chance. However, I left feeling disappointed with the...

The 5 stars on here are just the minimum to public but to eyes of certain individual, I give instantly 10/5

3 years ago just a shy of few weeks from moving to Newport location, I came to the office in Costa Mesa and initially wanted to go to Dr. Alex, but apparently he was booked all the way 2-3 months. Saw him on Instagram and him taking care of my sister, and very genuine Chiro.

Around that time, my body was not in the best of shape but rather a 2/10, not doing well, and the one who had more opening schedule, incomes Dr. Rick Belling, greeted me with a big smile and said, "let's get you x-ray."

Despite the place was small and packed and lots of things were going on, he took time to go through things and why each affected and prioritize part needed to be adjusted. He was very informative and kind, not trying to convince or persuade in anyway. Very thorough and even said, just take a breather and allowed me to watch how others are getting adjusted.

It was overwhelming at first. Beyond the intense adjustment, my body yearn it more than anything, but the part I will not forget, he gave me the time to think and said, "how would you help others, if you simply are in pain, allow me to fully reset."

Few weeks later, they move to Newport Beach and grew. One of the best decision I made. Thank you BBWC Family, these wonderful 3 years, Orange County Community of all colors thank...
