This guy is a quack and a fraud. I met him and he told me to come in for a consultation. I spent 30 minutes filling out forms I had already filled out online, but he said he couldn't find them. Then, I filled them out in his office on his iPad and then that had problems, so I filled them out twice in his office. Then he "adjusted" me for about five minutes and said it was $180 for adjustment. When I asked him for the receipt to give my health insurance, he said he does them in batches once a week. Within 15 minutes of leaving his office, I was in such pain, I had problems walking. I was in bed with my legs up for 2 days. When I texted him, he said that was normal, which completely contradicts what he told me when we met and during the consultation. I suggested he should return my money and he said it does not work that way. It's been 3 weeks and I have not received the receipt and he does not return my texts. Wow, his response beautifully illustrates what a fraud he is. This is him and he knows exactly who I am. read more

Dr. Short is an amazing Chiropractic doctor that really cares and is super friendly. He doesn't do the same moves every time and listens to you about your issues. I've been going to him for a few years and appreciate his approaches, and I can say I've never felt better. Having been to many chiropractors over the years, Dr. Short is one of the best. Highly recommend him, especially if you've given up hope because of a bad experience else where. read more

I see Dr. Short on a regular basis. It's my maintenance program for staying healthy and active. He is professional and very knowledgable in his field of medicine. I highly recommend his services. One of the best Chiropractors I've ever been to! read more

I'm in my 60's, but feel 23, that is until a week ago when I pulled a hamstring playing Tennis. Stupid me, but it is what it is. If anyone reading this has ever pulled a hamstring or calf muscle, they are extremely painful and typically take weeks to months or more to heal. Devastating for any athlete. I knew or at least I thought my only remedy was ICE, elevation and rest, weeks of rest. I got a call from a friend who had heard about my injury and urged me to see this Chiropractor in Del Mar. Apparently, they are one of only a few places around that offer ARP therapy. What is ARP? Accelerated Recovery Performance. It's a cutting-edge pain management electro therapy treatment that accelerates the healing process. That's all I needed to know so I made an appointment for an ARP Treatment. When I met Howard, he told me that he recently treated someone with a pulled calf muscle and in a week he was back to playing golf. I said, YOU SOLD ME. Fast forward, in just two 30-minute treatments, the pain is virtually gone, and I plan on playing golf again much sooner than I could've imagined. Howard is humorous, intelligent, caring and has a service that can HELP people recover from pain faster than anything I have ever seen. 5 STARS for Team Chiropractic. read more

Dr Short is by far thee best chiropractor I have ever been to, and I have been using Chiropractic care off and on for over 15 years. He will make you feel cared for. I have been to about 3 or 4 chiropractors in my lifetime, and Dr. Short is by far the best at adjustments. He actually reassesses you briefly every time you come in and makes the necessary adjustments. He doesn't just do the same adjustment and go through the motions every time like every other chiropractor I've gone to. He actually remembers your progress and re checks where you're at every time. Chiropractic is his art form and he has refined it and continues to train and refine his skills. I am a young person who is overall healthy but I do get a lot of upper back and neck pain from working at my desk. I have been using his services in combination with lifting, yoga, and a healthy diet. My body has never felt better. I would highly recommend Dr Short to anyone experiencing pain or just wanting to improve their healthy lifestyle. read more

Was told all balances were payed upon leaving the business, only to be hit with a massive bill two years later, and immediately threatened with collections. Extraordinarily unprofessional and rude after calling to see why such a balance was still owed. This business must be struggling to rely on such unscrupulous business dealings. read more

The head rest for sleeping is very helpful. I feel better after each adjustment.

If I could put lower than one star, I would. Absolutely the worst chiropractic experience I've ever had. There's so many reasons why I have this opinion, but I'll just list a few... - He constantly schleps gimmicky products he profits from using hard selling tactics. What respectable doctor does that? - He overcharges for his services. - His chiropractic care is mediocre, at best. Seriously, find another chiropractor. Your experience with Dr. Short will not be pleasurable. UPDATE: Don't let these 5-star reviews fool you....notice how they all popped up within the same week and a half? Plus, several other negative reviews mysteriously disapeared. Something's fishy here. Be skeptical my fellow yelpers! read more

The years I have been in Dr Short's care have flown by. I come here for maintenance. A weekly adjustment makes my life much easier. I'm free from headaches, rarely get sick and my kids benefit as well. We found out that an adjustment helps when my daughter has a stomach ache. read more

Dr. Howard is great and his adjustments are really very good and effective. Having tried several Chiropractors over the years, I can tell that he knows what he's doing! read more

My Husband has been seeing Dr Short for 14 years. Initially he had redicular injuries from working at his commuter and holding the phone incorrectly. His adjustments allowed his body to heal from the inside out. Instead of being on toxic medicine and unnecessary surgery. He also suffered from carpal tunal injuries which are no longer effecting him. I also have seen dr short now for 10 years and my neck is a mess because of old gymnastic injuries. I am super picky about who I receive care from. Dr Short does a great job. He's a great guy and a knowledgable healer. read more

They ran a special for Massage and Chiro evaluation and my son bought it for me for my B'Day. I wanted the massage only. I was told that was fine. Called, made appointment, SAID I was looking forward to the massage. They didn't say anything on the phone. I drive all the way down there and am told they don't offer massage. What a rip-off. read more

Dr. Short is so personable. Great guy to work with!!! He really goes out of his way to help you and try to get you back in shape!!

Dr. Short has been taking care of me & my husband for many years & we can't say enough great things about him. Not only is he a great adjuster but he is kind & really cares about his patients. . His great attitude & smile is infectious. You can't leave his office without feeling great & having a extra dose of his energy to last you through the day. We drive from East County to see him because he is truly worth the drive. Thanks, Dr. Short for giving us the gift of health! read more

STAY AWAY!!! This guy is a total slime ball. I agree with the review by JRS, if I could give 0 starts I would. Just being in his presence creeps me out. -His prices are outrageous. -His manner is definitively hard sell and with an undertone of being a complete know it all smart ass -His chiro care is just okay Its guys like him who really give chiropractors a bad name. There are so many great chiros in San Diego, its really a shame he is even allowed to practice. Save yourself the trouble and stay away from Dr. Short and Team Chiropractic. read more

Dr. Short is personable and felt like he really listened to what was concerning about my injuries. Went to him after a car accident and for multiple sports related injuries. Would definitely recommend his services! read more

I've had 2 great visits so far. With chiropractic you can get a very different experience from office to office. Price was very competitive. I switched from a "cheaper" chiropractor because the care was not as comprehensive. Dr. Short performed a very thorough exam, with measurable evaluations. I look forward to continuing care. I also appreciate the flexible later office hours. read more

Dr Short does excellent work and cares about your well-being. Very flexible with his plans and will create a plan custom for you and will have you feeling great in no time read more

I a a 2 x cancer survivor and a senior citizen. Money! money! money! Dr Short said "don't worry about money I will accept Medicare and your supplement.: After 11 visits, he informed me that I have to start paying a co-pay retroactive to my first visit. I paid him $150.. at the first "free" visit And my friend paid $75.00 for her " free" visit. Medicare says that they have no record of any of these visits. He asked me to help pay for the lights and air conditioning. Bait and switch is against the law. Seriously, if he asks me for more money I will "Yelp" very loudly to whomever will listen. "It is not nice to fool someone's ; mom, grandmom, and great-grandmom." Just a little respect! read more

Man knows what he is doing. I enjoy the corrective approach he takes. Looking forward to on going care. I've been getting adjusted for 10 years from various chiropractors and he is the best. X-rays were an eye opener to the extent of damage I really need to correct. Gonna get my spine inline. read more

Dr. Short will explain is treatment progress what is going on in your body. I like that, first time anyone has.

I want to directly address the 1 star comment. While you could be put off by a professional's way of working, you don't need to call them a used car salesman. Just because you think that the product is gimmicky does not mean that he does. I find this claim to be ridiculous. As for the sudden number of positive reviews, it's known that people feel less inclined to make the effort to fill a survey when they are pleased. When they aren't it is an automatic instinct. I will say though, upon seeing the 1 star, and all the slanderous works, I felt very inclined to comment. Dr. Short does a good job. This kind of chiropractic care has greatly helped me with issues that nothing else has. For example, my bad hip and shoulder due to previous sports injuries. I say try Dr. Short out and judge for yourself. The average is definitely in his favor! read more

Absolutely terrible! Do not recommend anyone support this place! I got into an accident and came here and this guy was a joke! First he talked his butt of about NOTHING! Then after he adjusted me, this guy took x-rays of me? Since when are they allowed to take x-rays?? Chiropractic adjustments is a separate business than an x-ray technician!! But the thing that made this the worst was the whole time he talked about MONEY! And how he had a family to support giving me a guilt trip the entire time!! Very unprofessional! When I confronted him that I wanted to go to a different place to get my chiropractic adjustments he yelled at me! Can you believe it! He yelled at me that I was betraying him and how is he going to pay his bills and etc. I'm more than willing to help if you need it but this guy was an asshole from day one. He had money but wanted more and more. Hence why he advertises every other sentence he says!! And he checks out every stinkin' girl that walks in, including his "receptionist"!!! read more

I dropped off my "duel" insurance information about a week before my 1st appointment. Ali, who works the front desk wouldn't confirm my insurance coverage during each of my visits and told me to just ask the doctor. Howard kept saying he was waiting to hear back on it and told me not to worry. This went on for a couple of weeks. In the meantime I paid the co-pay of $15 for 7 visits, hence $105. On visit number 7 my husband and I were told that both our insurance wouldn't cover his services, even though they've covered the services of other chiropractors. He then started wheeling and dealing saying he would waive the $180 balance we now owed if I would sign up for another 66 visits. We went ahead and paid off the balance and left very disappointed. I'm going to keep posting this message because we feel so ripped off by Howard Short! read more

It was a horrible expirience! The lady at the front desk kept saying we can't find your insurance.She was lying. What a scam! Be aware of this problem. Nice guy though such a scammer. read more

Dr. Short has been treating my wife and I for quite sometime now, and we are very happy with his service. In fact, my daughters have been going to see him also. He is great in treating our spine and neck...after sitting in front of a computer all day, I look forward to his adjustments. read more

Dr. Short is invested in your entire health, which is what separates him from other doctors. He goes into detail about what he is doing and why he is doing it, so you can fully understand his practice and techniques. Not only do I always feel physically better after being adjusted, but I also find clarity in other areas of my life after leaving his office. The staff are super friendly and the place makes you feel comfortable and at home. read more

My experience was so different from the bad ones I read. I didn't believe in chiropractic practice at all. I was struggling with my sciatic nerve and kept ignoring it to the point it was unbearable to be comfortable. I took medicine but didn't do much. My husband was attending adjustment treatment with Dr. Short and he wanted me to give it a try since he was struggling with back problems and restless legs that kept him up at night, but I'm from Mexico and we don't really believe in chiropractors, we see them as charlatans. So not a real solution. Till one day I couldn't take it anymore I wasn't able to sleep from the pain cause I could't get comfortable anymore and spent my time crying, so my husband convinced me to go see Dr. Short. So forced by my pain I went reluctant to see him. he adjusted me in the first visit but first saw a video of people saying how good the practice was. I was still skeptical and wanted to go home, I was angry and depressed and I thought it was a waste of time. After the first adjustment I felt somehow a bit better, but the pain was still there. I honestly after almost 5 months of going can't tell you when the pain dissipated!! I know from my own experience that he has helped me and I am so happy nowadays because life is beautiful without pain!! Dr. Short has been clear from the start that if you are committed to attend to get adjusted you can see results, and its true. It has worked for me so far. Also he goes out of his way to help people. So I'm very happy to say I am the lucky ones who really committed and its paying off. read more

INNATE INTELLIGENCE, is a great natural medicine within your inner being by utilizing a chiropractic method.

Dr Short is so awesome that he goes out of his way to really care for his patients no matter what the circumstances maybe. You gotta see him and meet him personally. read more

AWFUL! Total salesman! Out for the money. The pain was only worst until I saw him. All he cares about is making money. He also continues to blow up my phone leaving me message after message a year and a half later! read more

After my Husband's Chiropractor retired, he looked and looked for a good Chiropractor. It took awhile to find a good one. I was in a lot of pain and it turned out needed a good chiropractor myself. Before: I couldn't get out of my chair without help, had wrist pains, couldn 't turn my head side to side without hurting, needed a walker sometimes just to walk down the hallway, had to pull myself up the stairs and really hold on going down stairs because my knee was in pain. Now after seeing Dr. Short for awhile; I can go up the stairs without hanging on to the banister, I can get up out of a chair with no strain, I can look around and back up the car without thinking about my neck, I can walk fast and feel great, I can now do more than 1 chore a day and have energy to do more, that in itself is amazing. Dr. Short has workshops once a month, I have learned so much about the nerve system, bones, nutrition, diet and more. I would suggest anyone to go first to his workshops, the more educated you are the better. Also, you would see his team and know if you would fit in. By the way the workshops don't cost you anything. He passes on his research and gems of wisdom in a way that will stick with you, I have gotten a lot of information that has helped me. If you are looking for a good Chiropractor - Dr. Short is very good. read more
