This was such a thoughtful, high quality spot. Probably the best acupuncture experience I've ever had and I've been doing it almost my whole life. They did a whole body scan to see which organ systems and parts of your body are under or over activated- never seen something like this before when it comes to holistic care, and awesome to see some hard data in a field of care where it's difficult to do so. I originally only had 1 appointment with Andrew but he went out of his way to let me come back 2 additional times on him to be sure I had the full experience intended and he had time to walk me through all the results of the scan, and understand where I needed support. I was so blown away by that, and still feel like I need to pay him for his over time! You can tell everyone who works here cares a lot about what they do and ensuring people get the traction they are looking for. read more

Dr. Jason and Dr. Zack are absolutely the best chiropractors. Since my first visit and throughout routine care they spend a considerable amount of time finding out where the pain is, muscle relaxation, followed by an adjustment which varies based on the issue area(s) at the time. They work great together and genuinely care about your health and the results you receive. I've seen at least 20 different chiropractors over the years due to moderate to severe back pain and these two are exceptional. read more

Dr. Curda is the BEST. I came to him after having severe, chronic back pain post-partum. I couldn't sit for longer than 10 minutes at a time and I couldn't drive. I also couldn't pick-up my son, which was very disheartening for me. He was very gentle and understanding! After about a week and a half, I was moving a lot better (vs. the 4 months I spent at PT where I had very little change). I am forever thankful for his services. He has an excellent bedside manner and handle of his field. I also had no problem getting appointments that worked for me, and he allowed me to bring my son to my appointments. Dr. Curda is very effective at diagnosing and knowing how to adjust his patients, and he is very compassionate. I highly recommend him as an outstanding provider. read more

Carole is hands down the best massage therapist I have ever been to. I have dealt with chronic pain in my shoulders and arms for several years. I started seeing her a couple of months ago and after each session I feel like the pain and tightness takes longer and longer to come back. Not only is she great at the massage itself but she also routinely has great ideas for stretches and other ways to continue to keep the pain at bay while I am at home. Her sessions are reasonably priced and well worth it based on the positive results I have experienced. read more

I love Personalized Chiropractic. Jason came on to relieve Ryan since Ryan moved to Austin Texas. When I came to first get and adjustment I was delighted with Jason's techniques. His charm the comfortable office and the beautiful energy I experience just being there. Is chiropractic calling you? Call now and see personalized chiropractic and make an appointment with JASON the owner. My name is Spirit and I am 81 years old and I always feel younger when I leave personalized chiropractor. read more

Ya'll NEED to hear this! I came to this practice many years ago and had a nice experience so when I was experiencing some major trauma last week with my jaw, I decided to go back. When I got there, I was surprised to learn that the practice had been sold and here I was facing an unknown practitioner to help fix my jaw. Turns out, that Dr. Jason specializes in jaw's which was welcome news. He was not only caring and gentle with me but he also served a bit as a therapist to help me figure out WHY my jaw froze which was hindering me from closing it tightly and EATING! UGH! I was super scared, not even sure if I was at the right type of doctor, but turns out, I was EXACTLY in the right place where I needed to be for help. With one adjustment, seriously, ONE adjustment, my jaw unlocked and I was able to close my mouth again. As the day progressed, it started to get looser and looser and by the next morning, I was 100% fine again! CURED!!!! I had a follow up 3 days later and even the doctor was impressed with my recovery! I seriously cannot say enough great things about Dr. Jason and the staff and the cleanliness and even the price! I will never go anywhere else again! This is the PLACE! read more

Love this place. I came in because i messed up my shoulder doing unsafe squats on the smith machine but long story short, i came in and got put back into place. They're super nice and attentive here. They even sent me a birthday card on my birthday read more

Been going there for 6 years off and on. I have i learned a lot of my problems I have done to myself thru sleeping wrong, working with bad posture, and lounging while watching TV. Dr Curda has helped me maintain my body mind and spirit. This will allow me grow old graciously. read more

I really love how he schedules his appointments so that the customers don't have to wait over five minutes for the appointment. He usually is ready within a couple seconds. Very professional, very kind! Very knowledgeable!! read more

Dr. Curda was very professional, caring, and knowledgeable. After a few questions he knew exactly what was wrong and what needed to be done. The adjustment was quick, it took under 10 minutes and the pain in my leg was gone completely right away! He also showed me several stretches to work on which is really helpful. I would highly recommend! read more

At the risk of sounding cliche, Dr. Curda is, by far, the best chiropractor I have ever been to. Recently, I had been having a reoccurring pinched nerve in my neck that just wouldn't go away. I visited a few other chiropractors about the issue but, after each of those visits, the problem persisted. I have visited Dr. Curda only twice and my pinched nerve is completely gone. What's even more astonishing is that the pain and mobility issues I was having from the injury were 90% gone after just one visit. After my second visit, I'm back to 100%. Mind you, this is an issue that I saw other chiropractors for to no avail. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Curda if you're having any neck issues. He's extremely professional, personable, and will know exactly what to do to get you back to your normal. Thanks Dr. Curda! read more

I was referred to Dr. Ryan Curda for my chiropractic care by a dear friend, Dr. Beau Casey. I have known Beau for over 10 years and he was actually my massage school teacher and chiropractor. He is like family. I have recently over the last month had the worst pain in my chest and upper back. The pain got so bad that I went to the ER, only to discover a completely unrelated issue that wasn't caused by the chest discomfort I was experiencing. I'm receiving treatment for that issue, but was still having chest and back flare ups that would not stop over the last month. I set my first appointment with Dr. Ryan Curda, and when I got there, I was immediately warmly welcomed with a huge smile and peaceful and kind energy. He took the time to let me vent out what I had gone through and why I came to his practice. He found exactly what was causing my chest discomfort, and as it turns out, I had a RIB that was OUT OF PLACE! Omg!! I had no idea that was going on with me and I was also impressed at how quickly he found it, and performed my adjustment tailored exactly to what I needed. He also adjusted my angry ankle that has been bugging forever now, and after one adjustment on my ankle joint, I am walking like I used to with no pain. The emotional release I got from this body work at personalized chiropractic is truly a blessing to me. I'm so grateful I was referred to Dr. Ryan Curda and am looking forward to my treatment plan and feeling much better. If anyone has any issues, large or small, I'm sure he can help you like he has me. And it's only been 2 sessions! Very impressed and thank you Dr. Ryan for your kindness, education and warm care. You rock!! read more

Personalized Chiropractic - First meeting with Dr. Ryan Curda!! Was a success! - Chiropractors Near Me - San Diego, California

I purchased a voucher for Personalized Chiropractic that included an evaluation and massage. As other reviewers have noted, the staff are very nice and do make extra effort to remember patient names. Unfortunately, this was not enough to outweigh the discomfort I have experienced as a result of Dr. Walcher's overbearing style. I only spent about 15 minutes total (over three visits) in Dr. Walcher's presence; however, his mannerisms and the amount of sales pressure he exerted felt worse than a used car salesman. Surprised by his recommendation for approximately 6 months of treatments, I required time to consider the recommendation and discuss with my family. After I refused to sign up for a package deal he offered, he grew increasingly frustrated and finally stopped pressuring me when I said I would make an appointment for the following week, giving myself 5 days to research and consider. Our time was rushed, he was aggressive, and I left very confused at having this experience at a doctor's office. Ultimately, I cancelled the scheduled adjustment and only returned for the final part of my voucher, which was a lovely massage by Ginger. The staff was pleasant when I returned and I am glad that I did not run into Dr. Walcher. read more

Dr. Curda is such a friendly guy who genuinely cares about his patients. I am very happy with the quality of care I receive during each and every visit. Also, the location is very easy to get in and out of with plenty of parking. I highly recommend Personalized Chiropractic! read more

I had been experiencing knee pain for a few years and I thought that since I had arthritis in both knees that it was my destiny to be in pain the rest of my life. I was wrong, I never thought that going to a Chiropractor would help my knees and the pain I was experiencing when I would walk, exercise, or get up from a chair. I had tried many things to help like going to my Doctor, Advil, ice packs, heat, exercise, Physical Therapy, acupuncture, and finally cortisone shots. These things would relieve the pain for a while, but they were only relieving the symptom which was the pain; but not taking care of the problem. I purchased a voucher from Dr. Walcher for a complete Chiropractic exam, X-rays, a nerve scan, and a massage. I thought if there was no explanation for my pain, then at least I would get a massage out of the deal. I found out that my hips were out of alignment, and that is what was causing so much pain and pressure on my left knee. After seeing Dr. Walcher for about a month, my knee pain was gone. I have had other benefits like sleeping well, having more energy, my attitude and mood is better, and I haven't had an Advil for pain since I started. I highly recommend Dr. Walcher as a Chiropractic Doctor, the staff is excellent also, and I feel very welcome and comfortable in the office. Everyone always has smiles on their faces. read more

I started at Personalized Chiropractic a few months ago when I had some lower back pain flare up after running a half-marathon. I wasn't sure if it was related to that or something more serious. I went in and had a screening with Dr Walcher and he recommended a treatment plan to alleviate the lower back pain and also bring the curvature back to my neck and spine. Within a week my back started feeling better and now there is no pain. I feel great and sleep much better since seeing Dr Walcher. My insurance covered the whole treatment so I didn't even pay a dime out of pocket. The environment is VERY friendly and Michelle at the front desk is great. She NEVER gives me a hard time for missing my appointments ;) Overall, I highly recommend Personalized Chiropractic :) read more

I got into a car accident right before Christmas and I needed a chiropractor ASAP. I did my research and found Personalized Chiropractic but on that day, they were not open. I went to see another chiropractor that sucked. So, I called this office back and saw them and I am so happy that I did. I usually see Dr Ryan but when he is out of the office, I see Dr Rob and they are both amazing. I had a thorough examination which included X-rays and a spine exam, which the other office did not do. Dr Ryan explained what the X-rays showed and what the spine exam meant. Michelle runs the front and she is a sweetheart. She makes sure to follow up with me when I forget to call to make my future appointments. Best office ever !!! :) 5 stars is not nearly enough to give them credit for. read more

Dr. Ryan Curda is fantastic. I moved to SD in February and I have never had a chiropractor help me as much as Dr. Ryan has. He genuinely cares about his patients, really listens to you, and is super nice. He takes his time when adjusting and adjusts exactly what is needed. I've been to many Dr.'s, that I feel, adjust everyone the same, over adjust to make you "feel" better, and don't listen. Not Dr. Ryan Curda I have a sharp pain in my back that I've had since 2005 and I constantly go to chiropractors for help. The pain always comes back after a few days and never gets better, until I found Dr. Ryan. After having just a few adjustments with Dr. Ryan, the pain was relieved, I haven't had sharp pain, and I feel great. I feel like I am finally getting healed, instead of a quick fix. Now that I've been seeing him consistently for 2 months, I have been pain free. Dr. Ryan's consultations are very thorough and explained everything about my body and which vertebra is pinching nerves that is affecting my body functions. His whole staff is super friendly and nice. Always accommodates my schedule. Thank you Dr. Ryan!! P.S. Don't listen to the 1 star reviewer peeps. They have no idea what they are talking about. read more

I was apprehensive at first because I'd had back pain from training previously, and was afraid of the end-result of my chiropractic treatment. I have heard the pros and cons of chiropractic medicine and researched very carefully - so I made sure to see someone who knows what he's doing, and specifically with Dr. Walcher because of his reputation. He did a physical evaluation and took an x-ray as a part of the initial criteria. This is important, as there are practitioners who don't take the time to assess the issue correctly before treatment. After several adjustments from Dr. Walcher, I am doing so much better in many aspects and am back into training. The line of work I do can be taxing on the body (I'm on my feet over 12 hours a day) and it's essential to take care of it, wholly. To me, this includes seeing a chiropractor. It's like the Tin Man getting his joints oiled again. read more

I've been going to Dr. Rob for over a year now. When I first started I went in for chronic back & neck pain/problems with my back and neck being out of alignment from car accidents, sports and work. Now I go in for routine adjustments, which I believe are helpful to prevent sickness and to prevent further damage as I get older. The receptionist Michelle is really sweet and friendly, she knows everyone by name. Dr. Rob is always friendly and does his best to fully help everyone that he can. If you're looking for a chiropractor, whether for routine care or an injury, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Rob at Personalized Chiropractic. read more

Dr Rob is an awesome guy and great chiropractor. When my girlfriend and I found him we could both barely get out of bed in the morning. Our backs, necks and hips were killing us from the crazy active lifestyle we live and fun adventures. In just a few visits, we were back to feeling great and getting into more trouble. We get adjusted a couple of times a week and have never felt better. Does everything he says he is going to do and more. Thanks Dr. Rob! read more

Dr. Ryan is awesome. I especially like his meticulous smooth style. He makes the painful parts of adjustments definitely easier to handle with his excellent technique. I appreciate his calm, gentle, & openly perceptive demeanor as well. He's very helpful, intelligent, professional, personable and overall great at what he does. I would highly recommend him. read more

I have no words to thank Dr. Ryan enough. I was in a lot of pain and after scheduling an appointment I'm feeling 100% better. I'm grateful knowing that from now on I can reach someone reliable and kind whenever I need. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Walcher was recommended to my by my cousin's wife. I've experienced various levels of knee pain over the last 6-8 years and she thought he could help. I'd never been to a chiropractor before visiting Dr. Walcher, but had heard good things. I'm sure glad that I decided to go. Not only is my knee feeling better, but there are a host of other benefits that I've been experiencing, including better sleep and improved mobility. I do Crossfit (among other physical activities) and find that regular chiropractic care has been extremely helpful with respect to recovery and improvements in strength and stability. I honestly can't imagine not having adjustments any more. I always feel so great walking out of their offices. I would highly recommend visiting Dr. Walcher if you are in search of a chiropractor. He has definitely helped me and Michelle at the front desk is terrific! read more

Chiropractic medicine isn't magic. Dr. Walcher can't heal an ailing back overnight, just like an MD won't cure you of the flu overnight. It takes time to undo the damage a hot tub fall (that's alleged and has never been proven!) has done to your body. If you don't believe Dr. Walcher, get a second opinion! I did, and his treatment plan was exactly the same as the first chiropractor. Now, I chose to go with Dr. Walcher because of his location, and I'm glad I did! Let me try to describe the awesomeness of his practice: 1) There are private rooms. I've heard of other offices where you're lined up on tables, and the doc goes down the line adjusting people. Nooo thanks. 2) Michelle! For those that haven't met her, she's the receptionist. Being that's she's up front, I'd call her the face of the practice. And boy did Dr. Walcher choose a good one! 3) Technology. The entire dang practice is just about paperless. From checking in each time, to billing, to having your file on the screen in your private room when Dr. Walcher walks in. No papers with your SSN floating around to get lost. 4) It's hip in there. Dr. Walcher looks like a GQ model, and they have happening music during the week and house music on Fridays. I guess labor laws prohibit him from offereing Red Bull and vodkas. :( 5) Finally, they're flexible. Michelle does a great job of working with my insurance company, and Dr. Walcher will still see you if you're a few minutes early or a few minutes late. What else can I say? Be there or be square (or continue to walk around with a hurt back). read more

I highly recommend Dr. Ryan Curda to family&friends! Dr. Curda not only gave me relief from aches and back pain as well as major neck pain but provided me with adequate treatment for my antagonizing injuries. Personalized Chiropractor helped me tremendously. Thank you read more

As a massage therapist, I have seen and worked with a lot of chiropractors and have become very selective in who I chose to see and recommend to my clients. Dr. Ryan Curda is among the best! He is very thorough in his intake and treatments. He is also an attentive listener and uses gentle and effective techniques to relieve my chronic shoulder, neck, and hip pain. He has provided tremendous relief for me! Dr Curda is very knowledgable and I really like that he explains what is going on so well. He also has a plethora of resources for his patients to learn more about musculoskeletal ailments as well as preventive medicine. His genuinely caring disposition makes me feel really comfortable and able to relax for his adjustments. I highly recommend!! read more

I was recommended to Dr. Curda by my sister. We both suffer from pinched nerves in our backs and mine was flaring up every two-three weeks. His initial appointment covered a consultation and x-ray and was really affordable. Instead of being curved, my neck x-ray showed the vertebrae were straight! I began seeing him right away and I haven't had a flare up in over three months! I highly recommend seeing him, I was very nervous to see a chiropractor but now I swear by Dr. Curda! read more

I found this place by a groupon. I really enjoyed since the first time I came into the office. Has a home feel. The music is always great and I love the education information they have for you to take home and read while you wait. On my first appointment he did a scan of my whole nerve a system. I know that the scan itself is very expensive to run and then I got x-rays. I love it.! I love adjustments and I love going to a wonderful office. I am a regular who misses appointments or is running late and they are always so great with me. They call me to remind me of appointments or remind me when the doctor is out of the office. The Doc, also came out and assisted me with my car when it broke down in front of his office. I love them!! Dr. Welcher is fantastic and Michelle is fantastic too!! I do recommend people going to Dr. Welcher! read more

I love this place. I came in with a lower back injury and have been working with Dr. Ryan for over a month now. I know I will make this a regular part of my life. He has helped my pain so much. My job is very physically demanding, so it requires some adjustment quite frequently! He is so knowledgeable and helpful with any questions I may have. Linda at the front desk is so sweet too. She always has a smile on her face and you feel welcome the second you walk in the door. I never have to wait long at all to be seen, which is very convenient with such a busy schedule. Highly recommended. read more

Really great, knowledgeable, professional, doctor level treatment and adjustment with xrays and medical science, not just crack you and leave like some places. Dr. C knew exactly what was going on and adjusted it first try. So much relief. Will be back regularly. Also good tunes :) read more

A tad pricy, but if you pay up front it is way more affordable than paying every visit. I go 2-3x a week and paid for 6 months upfront. I love how they give x-ray's in the beginning and do a stress test so you can see where your body is working too hard. Then they redo the test 1/2 way through and then again at the end so you can see the proof that the adjustments are working. It's also a quick in and out session every time. I am generally never there more than 5 mins. read more

I started seeing Dr. Curda about two months ago for this persistent numbness I was getting into the front of my thigh which I assumed was related to a pinched nerve of some sort. After my exam Dr. Curda explained to me what was likely happening and how we should proceed. I began noticing improvements after only a few visits and have feeling and function returned. I decided to continue seeing Dr. Curda because of how great the rest of me felt. Regular adjustments have kept me moving and working out the way I want to. I anticipate continuing to keep Chiropractic care as part of my regular health regimen. I've been sleeping more restful, and didn't catch my wife's cold - which usually happens. I guess Chiropractic can help with your immune function too! Go see the team at Personalized Chiropractic if you are having issues, they are very professional and understanding. They'll treat you right. read more

I'm not really good at going into detail about things, so I'll keep it short and sweet. I barely walked in the door because I had the worst pinched nerve and couldn't move my head. I walked out with total relief. A few more sessions, I was completely cured and feeling great. I would 100% refer anyone to this place. read more

I was recommended to Dr. Walcher by my friend who found him through a Groupon deal. I also purchased the incredible deal and was more than enthusiastic and excited to go in for my initial exam and X-rays to see why and what exactly had I been causing me so much lower back pain as well as localized upper back pain. This wasn't my first round being seeing by a chiropractor as I had about 5 treatments done about 5 or 6 years ago for the same back pain complaints. After meeting with Dr. Walcher and discussing the results of my initial exam, I was told pretty much the same information I was told years before. The consistency of my results was encouraging because it proved that what is going on with these chiropractic practices isn't a scam- it is legitimate healthcare examinations and treatments for issues that many people have and are completely unaware of. Although I did feel slightly pressured to purchase the 6 month package of adjustments that were needed to begin correcting subluxation on my spine, I completely understood where Dr. Walcher was coming from when he urged me that this minimum 6 month plan is the least I needed to help correct all of the symptoms I was experiencing due to my spinal subluxation. I could really feel his concern for my well being and his urgency to want to HELP me rather than SELL to me. Their hours jump around throughout the day and are kind of random and a pain in the butt sometimes but luckily, for the most part, they fit well with my work schedule and incredibly short length of the visits are IDEAL. It has been about 3 months now since my initial visit. I hate to admit it because I too was a skeptic, however, I am pleased to say that my nights consist of far more sleep. I can't even remember that last time I woke up in the middle of the night to "crack" my back and neck and I am able to wash a sink full of dishes now without having to stop from unbearable and annoying lower back pain! Yes, I do still look forward to my now twice weekly visits for readjustments, I don't miss having to constantly self-adjust my back multiple times during the day and night. I have already received a 3 month follow up re-exam which showed significant improvements from my initial one and I absolutely can't wait for my 6 month follow up to see the x-rays and hopefully great improvements to the curvature of my c-spine. I have to say, I am really enjoying going to this practice. Not only is Dr. Walcher great, but the staff is amazing. I just love those girls and their pretty bright smiles I'm greeted with every single time I walk into that office. I plan to follow up with an update after my 6 month re-examination to let you all know how everything turns out! :) read more

I'm so pleased with how great I feel a day after my adjustment with Dr. Curda!! I've suffered from chronic neck pain as well as occasional ankle/wrist pain for years. I was getting concerned about carpal tunnel in my wrists. Dr. Curda is very gentle, and helps you get into the perfect position to be able to release into the adjustment easily. He also used active release therapy on my forearms to relieve my wrist pain. I will be getting regular adjustments to keep my body aligned and my nervous system healthy. If you're nervous about chiropractic care or just looking for the best DC, visit Personalized Chiropractic in Pacific Beach. Great location with easy parking too. read more

Very nice location, great front office crew, and Dr. Is the best too. Highly recommend. Even after just one visit.

Visiting San Diego, I was in need of urgent relief on a recurring back issue. Through the recommendation of a friend, I came here and was seen promptly. Treatment brought some instant relief, and I was told what the problem was stemming from my hips. Doctor Ryan showed me some wonderful stretches which have continued to yield improvements. The billing was also a very pleasant surprise, since I came in uninsured. I can thoroughly recommend this practise. read more

I Highly recommend Dr. Ryan Curda, he is the only one I trust to adjust me and help take care of my body. I send my family to him as well. He is attentive and thorough in his examinations; very knowledgeable. In my initial exam he x-rayed me and detected the underlying cause of my pain. Through the adjustments, stretches, ART, and exercises he gives me, my pain is alleviated and I am able to continue my runs and workouts! Thank you Dr. Curda for your exceptional chiropractic work and for being an all around caring and kind person. read more
