If I Could Give Dr. Ward 1,000 Five-Star Reviews, I Would The night before meeting Dr. Ward, I found myself praying for a miracle. My back pain was unbearable, and I was desperate for relief. That's when I discovered Dr. Ward on Yelp. Judy, his assistant, was warm and welcoming, encouraging me to come in anytime--even on a Saturday--without an appointment, for only $60 for two treatments. My recent visit to a well-known chiropractor in Newport Beach had left me reeling. She quoted me nearly $9,000 for spinal treatments and described my condition in such dire terms that I walked out feeling anxious and pressured, racing against an imminent deadline before the price climbed even higher. After just a few minutes with Dr. Ward, he carefully reviewed the previous doctor's notes and images, offered me a fresh, encouraging outlook on my back, and explained how it could be healed--without a sky-high price tag. Hearing Dr. Ward give me this new perspective, I felt the tension melt away and became so much lighter and more optimistic. I have never experienced anything like Dr. Ward's way of treating the spine. He looks at it from many angles, including the emotional and behavioral factors that affect the spine. He was able to tell me things about the condition of my spine that were a 110% reflection of what was going on in my life at the time, and even see patterns from my past embedded in the curvature of my spine. Priceless and phenomenal. Just one treatment later, I walked out the door feeling emotional and mentally unburdened, and with a renewed spring in my step! He has an incredible bedside manner, treating everyone as a dear friend that he truly wants to help. Dr. Ward has the gift of letting you feel truly seen, and you know he is strongly dedicated to helping you find strength and restoration. Meeting Dr. Ward made it clear to me how important it is for doctors to offer their patients a sense of heartfelt connection and peace of mind. So important to help a patient who is already stressed about their symptoms to feel calmer and know there is always hope! A Big Learning Experience As a biodynamic craniosacral therapist, I treat folks with dysregulated nervous systems and teach them to self-regulate so they can shift from a stress response to a state of relaxation, where the body can begin to heal naturally. This experience was a very clear example of how I allowed the first doctor's diagnosis to put me into the "stress" response, thereby accentuating my pain, and the high price tag and time commitment only worsened the condition. Dr. Ward was able to drop me out of the "stress" response, where I could see clearly and feel reassured by the many other healing resources available to me at a very minimal cost. Thank you, thank you, Dr. Ward...and Judy! read more

Highly recommend going to Dr. Ward. Walk in only which is great! Fantastic treatment that really worked for my back pain.

This man, Steve Ward, knows his stuff! I asked for a referral in my neighborhood and was referred to him as well as another fellow. I went here and came away feeling so much better. I recently referred a friend whose husband was in misery. She said he's feeling much better also. read more

The service is amazing from the moment you walk in the door . I was having a lot of body aches for months and 1st visit it was gone and have not returned back , I get my adjustments every other week apart of my self care routine. Thank you read more

Dr. Steve has a unique and effective approach to healing. His therapeutic communication and positive words of affirmation paired with his holistic chiropractic methods promote overall wellbeing. After 3 treatments (because one isn't enough) I went from having 9/10 nerve pain to zero pain within a week. Medical doctors previously treated me with a course of anti inflammatory medications that weren't effective. After weeks of suffering my mom brought me to Dr. Steve. I was skeptical, as any touch when in so much pain can be scary. But now, after completing the treatments, I feel so much better and am so grateful for his care. His walk-in only schedule and flat rate means I can go whenever I need healing. He welcomes everyone with open arms and sees past your physical pain to the wounds we carry within. Dr. Steve is an empath who is energized through healing others. His positive energy is palpable. read more

Dr. Ward really helped me big time! I have been struggling with Sciatica and a Knee injury for about 6 months. My back was so stiff I couldn't even stand straight. Finally I decided to pay Dr. Ward a visit and just within my first time seeing him it made a HUGE difference. I was able to walk out of there standing up straight which I have not been able to do for a while. My body felt so much lighter! You can tell Dr. Ward really cares about his patients! Just within my first time meeting him I felt extremely welcomed and listened to. He heard me out about all the pain I was experiencing and tailored my adjustments too that. I truly recommend. I was just in the office on Saturday and will be returning Tuesday again! As for the front desk the lady was super sweet and helpful as well! Overall a great experience. read more

A WONDERFUL chiropractor and human being. I am so glad for the opportunity to work with him. I have been to several chiropractors in California and Nevada, and none have ever come close to how Dr. Ward practices. Not only do I get adjusted in several ways (sitting down and lying down), but I always end up leaving his office with the biggest loving feeling inside my heart and soul. read more

Doctor Ward's care is life changing. I cannot recommend this place enough! I drive up from San Diego to see him. I am a midwife and I wish I lived closer, I would recommend him to all my clients. He is so knowledgeable, intuitive, kind and caring. I appreciate you, Dr. Ward! read more

Dr ward was recommended to me by a friend who has been a patient for years. This was my first visit and i was very happy with the care I received. It's been years since I have been to a chiropractor and Dr Ward put me at ease right away. Judy in the front office was very friendly and professional . read more

What I love about this chiropractor--is that it's a walk in business, so when you're feeling poorly--there is no need to schedule an appointment--just come in (on the days/hours he is open) (T,Th,F 9-6 with lunch break closed 12:30-2:15-and open Saturday 8am-3pm) --and he will treat you quickly to get relief. I suffer from chronic migraines, and chiropractic treatment is one of the limited treatments that really makes a huge difference for me and my pain relief--so Dr. Ward is super helpful is adjusting me to get the type of relief I need. He also is very all-encompassing in his treatment--and can tell a lot about you just from treating/touching your back and spine. (Like he will predict if you are an eldest sibling and what type of stress/duress your body is under/what type of load you are carrying). It is a treatment where you need to be touched--and he is a very tactile guy (I think some people aren't ready for that/ don't have experience with chiropractors and get thrown off by that, but he is a very warm guy who cares --and is a hugger (once you get to know him). I come fairly regularly now (at least every other week) --as the regular treatments help keep my symptoms at bay. The price is $50 flat fee and with that he will let you come back for a follow up treatment. He doesn't take insurance, but my copay with insurance for chiropractor services is $50 anyways (and it would only be one appointment--no follow ups--so it's actually a really good deal for me)! Also I love the massage chairs! (Especially the one with the cold feature and relaxing music sounds)! And he will give you ice for your back/head too. And Judy who works the front desk area- is very nice and warm and wonderful too. So overall I highly recommend Ward Chiropractic services if you are in need of physical help (quickly, efficiently, and affordably)! (Also all chiropractic adjustments are generally very quick--like 2-5 minutes--this does seem wild, but I've been to other chiropractors in my life/-and all the treatments are very quick services--so it is consistent with other chiropractic practices). read more

Fantastic! You get so much more than adjustments! Excellent care and I highly recommend.

Hands of a True Healer. I was referred to Dr. Ward from a Colleague/Friend. As soon as I heard my friend's testimony I knew I had to check this place out and I'm so happy I did. After seeing so many other chiropractors and especially with the last chiropractor experience I had I was a bit skeptical but again I at least had to try. In my adult hood I've struggled with lower back pain after an injury and have never been the same. There's months I go with no issues but then I'm surprised some days with issues and that's when the chiropractor really kicks into gear. I usually try to visit a few times throughout the year just for maintenance but sometimes life happens. So since I've been introduced to Dr. Ward I have been in and out of his office more than a handful of times and every time i walk out feeling like a new man... and I walk out not crawling lol The office is cash only, they do not except insurance but trust me the payment is very reasonable and his healing hands are completely worth it. Office visits are first come first served, so no appointments. On some visits he will see you once or maybe ask you to return 2/3 times in the same day or following day at no extra change, it all depends on how he sees what you need. The office is lactated in a big plaza with tons of parking, so if you have a long wait time you can definitely do a bit of shopping or grab some food while you wait. I usually like to try and get the massage chair and relax in that till I'm up. I try to visit during the week and in the mid day, I find it less busy and my wait time is alway reasonable. The Doctor is so cool and so down to earth, he does not only help you with your injuries but he becomes like family and will give you some amazing advice and outlook on things. I seriously can go on and on but if you're in any discomfort or pain I would 100% recommend to check this place out. The best is he helps you the worst is... there can't be any worse lol I like to call to just verify that the office will be open, just so I don't waste my time if they had any changes to their schedule. So pick up the phone and call... this is your sign to help you to a Better, Healthier, Life! SYoY! read more

I hurt my lower back during my travel to California from long driving. I stayed around Carson California, and on Saturday morning trying to find chiropractors around my area that hopefully can help with lower back pain. Unfortunately, most of them full booked. Before I almost gave up, I did try to call Ward chiropractic, and amazingly Dr. Ward didn't take insurance or book schedule, most of his patients all walk-in. Dr. Ward helped me to relieve my pain enough that I was able to do things for that day and drive home to vegas the next day. I only have one treatment from Dr. Ward. I really appreciated his care and his magic hands to make my body less tension and reduced my pain. read more

Best chiropractor in the world! You'll leave happier and straighter every time! Dr. Steve is a wealth of information! Treat yourself to the Best! read more

Ive gone to Dr.Ward since 2015ish when i broke my back he has helped me walk again and properly... his kindess and knowledge of his craft keeps me coming back grateful read more

After the first session I immediately felt a difference! My energy levels increased and my mood stabilized. I learned so much about mind and body connection and I can't wait to come back. Dr. Ward is a very gentle and loving person and knows how to speak in such a way to help you to love yourself. read more

AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING!!! If I could give Dr. Ward 10 stars I would. He came highly recommended by a couple friends and my only regret is that I didn't come sooner. Dr. Ward's expertise and training are complimented by his positive and authentic energy. I've gone for a few sessions and each time I walk out of there feeling so much better and stress free. This has been a life changing experience because I'm now coming on a monthly basis as part of my wellness journey. Seeing Dr. Ward is a must!!! read more

am writing to give my highest recommendation to Dr. [Chiropractor's Full Name]. Dr. Ward has been our family chiropractor and his care has been nothing short of exceptional. He treats not just symptoms, but people -- with patience, knowledge, and genuine concern for long-term health and well-being. V azcue read more

I would be completely SOL without Dr. Steve. Multiple back injuries over the course of some 40 years, including a broken vertebra, have otherwise left me in a perpetual state of discomfort; Dr. Steve keeps me mobile and mostly pain free. I honestly don't know what I would do without him... read more

Dr Ward gives a healing adjustment that allows me to stand up straight without discomfort and eliminates my neck stiffness. No one else can adjust my neck. Best adjustment ever!!! He's an hour away, but worth the drive, the time, and the sacrifice. I love that guy! read more

I want to give this place a 0...just so I can keep it to myself. But I simply cannot keep this hidden in good conscience. The take away: this is not a formal place trying to trap you. No, this is a family business with someone who wants you to feel better. Your physical adjustment will come with a mental and emotional adjustment too. My husband hurt his back and was told: you don't need to prove yourself through work. You are enough. And trust me, he needed to hear that. The adjustment made my husband feel a million times better. He had a few adjustments but this office's motto is get you better so you don't have to come back. I won't give it a 0 but I do wish I could give it a 10. Consistently amazing. read more

Love the energy in this office. Dr. Ward is fantastic and amazing at what he does. No appointment and only walk in. No insurance here which is great. read more

Professional and effective chiropractic care in an extremely positive environment. Dr. Steve Ward is knowledgeable and intuitive. He can definitely help ease your pain. I would recommend him without reservation. read more

Dr. Ward is the most compassionate and genuine chiropractor I have ever experienced. He is thorough in helping you understand your patterns and generational programs that shape our physical. He offers such incredible insight into healing and balance and I make sure to see him multiple times every time I'm in town. I had no idea that table adjustments weren't compatible with my structure and was wondering why chiropractic care hadn't ever really worked for me. Dr Ward helped me understand that the curvature of my spine is not conducive to table adjustment, and since Dr Ward implements wall adjustments it has been noticeably helpful in every way. Go see Dr. ward, you won't regret it! read more

Ward Chiropractic - Chiropractors Near Me - Long Beach, California

Never been so genuinely ecstatic to write a review for a practitioner who is so deserving . I found dr ward via yelp . I do not trust chiropractors, as an RN I hear and see bad outcomes from neck adjustments & back as well. Dr ward is unique in his style of adjustment & his attitude and approach to health is out of this world . I feel like I'm seeing my therapist & chiro all in one . Had some bad pain but I didn't go see him for that it's mainly my shoulder and neck . After a couple of adjustments my neck is more mobile & my back no longer hurts with sitting like it used to. As you can read so many good reviews , if you need a great doctor who holistically treats the entire body mentally and physically look no further ! Thanks Dr Ward, god bless your heart read more

Great guy! Been going there for years! Very informal but I always walk away feeling great! He's also very good about working around my shunt for hydrocephalus:). Usually busy and it's first come first serve so be prepared to possibly wait. Cool part- you can come back up to 3 times the day you pay and get adjust again:). Worth a visit for sure!!! read more

Extremely impressive w Dr.Ward!He is genuinely helpful and very caring.He is hands down the best at his craft.Walk ins are welcomed and helped in a timely manner.I will be coming back as a regular. read more

Best Chiropractor I've Ever Seen! I've been to several chiropractors over the years, but none compare to Dr. Ward From the moment you walk in, his energy and presence light up the room like a ball of sunshine. He goes far beyond just spinal adjustments--his deep wisdom on the emotional and behavioral connections to your body truly sets him apart. Every visit leaves me feeling not just physically aligned, but mentally and emotionally empowered as well. He has a holistic approach to wellness, ensuring that your mind, body, and spirit are all taken care of. He listens attentively and explains the correlation between your spine and your overall health in a way that is easy to understand and incredibly insightful. I always leave feeling rejuvenated and more in tune with my body. If you're looking for a chiropractor who cares about your whole well-being and brings joy to every appointment, I highly recommend Dr. Ward ! He's truly one of a kind! read more

I had a debilitating headache for 2 straight days and was desperate for relief. I yelped "chiropractors open now" (it was 8am on a Saturday), and found Ward Chiropractic. The 5 star reviews reflect my experience as well. I was greeted nicely and offered a huge ice pack for my back while I waited. I left feeling so much better and my headache was gone! I also had some elbow and groin pain from lifting and previous workouts and that pain was better as well. I honestly couldn't believe it! I don't know any other place that gives up to 3 adjustments in a day for $50. So generous and helpful, if you ask me! Not only did a feel physical relief, but Dr. Ward was so kind and spoke life into me by affirming who I was and also saying how he noticed body was carrying stress. Very thankful to have found this spot, and I think I found my forever chiropractor! (: read more

My cousin recommended this Chiropractic spot. I visited my family in CA and said well let me give it a try. Luckily I was able to walk in without an appointment what a blessing. The waiting area is inviting and relaxing. The Chiropractor was Amazing and has a warm gentle disposition. My session felt very holistic as a whole from start to finish. I was able go get a phenomenal adjustment and a bit of insight as to how a treat myself on a day to day internally. Luckily I was able to get two adjusted this day, since I was heading home and would be back in a few months. My sister went with me for mora support and was not planning on having a session. She somehow was very comfortable after seeing me get adjusted and decided to do it. We both felt great afterwards and couldn't stop taking about our experience there. My sister took a couple of family members and they enjoyed it. I recently visited my family and took my father for his very first adjuster in over 70 years. My dad really enjoyed and told me he had the best night sleep after his session. There is ample parking, restaurants and another business in that plaza. You can get a lot done there in one trip. I can't wait to visit again in a few months. Thank you for the best experience of my life. read more

Dr. Ward is SPECIAL. He speaks life into you! He's not the typical chiropractor. $50 for 3 visits in the same day! He works with energy, only does walk-ins. His office has massage chairs. He also has an incredible message therapist named Christine. They work with energy and are releasing stuck and trapped emotions and trauma. I literally walked away feeling like a new human. Every time I'm in Long Beach, I make it a point to come and see this beautiful human. Thank you, Dr. Ward. I promise to remember to remind myself I love myself every day! read more

I really don't know where to begin, he is AMAZING! My boyfriend & I are beyond happy to have found him (I'll take the credit). He has this amazing vibes, knows how to interact with his customers, makes you feel comfortable and shares so much KNOWLEDGE! He is not your typical doctor, he actually takes his time w/you, makes you feel comfortable, right off the bat we knew he was going to be the doctor we have been looking for! Let me tell you, his hands are like magic!!! My boyfriend came in with lower back pain, after getting adjusted, my boyfriend felt the instant release of pain. We are very thankful to Dr. Ward & I definitely won't trust anyone else but him! read more

I just went to Ward Chiropractic for the first time, and I was truly blown away. I even forgot to pay as I walked out, and when I called to tell them, they were so laid back about it. I'm going back for 2 more visits tomorrow (all for a single, low price), and she said I can pay then. I've been to a number of chiropractors in my life, and there was something special about this experience. Super affordable, very friendly and knowledgeable, and a unique methodology. I need to resolve the seemimgly perpetual pinched nerve in my back, and after just 1 visit, I already feel better. Looking forward to my 2 more sessions tomorrow! read more
