Align Health Center

When someone makes an appointment then be open ?! Called and set up an appt when we got there everything was locked up and no one answered our knocks or our phone calls. We usually love this place but thats just baf customer service!

If you need a chiropractor, you gotta visit this place. Awesome service, awesome staff and best of all they know what they’re doing. I went in for discomfort i had in my shoulder, lower back, and neck, the chiro there looked at everything! Before I even had a chance to tell him what I was there for he touched my shoulder and already knew I had issues with specifically my right shoulder. Unlike other chiros that I’ve been to or called and asked what types of therapies they have, this place strictly gets down to good old fashion bone cracking LOL. Not only that, the doctor there is very friendly and very informative, everything he said had value to me specifically. He went as far as recommending proper supplements to help my discomfort and pain and recommend where to get the quality stuff. I will definitely be going back and recommending all my friends and family.

I have a fear of going to the doctors, there staff & dr David main make me feel right @ home. I love this place! Service is top notch, I leave here feeling like a new person, after my massage & adjustment. Coming here is like a total treat for me, my first time here I practically crawled in here on my hands & knees suffering from sciatica, I’m glad those days are over thanks to this place. I now come in for an occasional massage & adjustment from working long shifts, & boy does it help!

Dr. David Main is the best chiropractor in Long Beach. If you want full service: physical therapy, chiropractic, gentle adjusting, massage, active release technique, graston, and even acupuncture. This is the place! I’ve been very pleased. My neck, shoulders, and lower back feel amazing. So if you are looking for a chiropractor in Long Beach, I highly recommend Dr. David Main!

I was in need of a massage, chiropractic adjustment or some acupuncture during a very stressful period after the passing of my aunt and was feeling really anxious. I found Align on Unilocal,called them and they got me in the same day for a massage. Lorena was awesome and I left there feeling so much more relaxed and centered. I felt good! I have been back several times for a massage and always look forward to my next appointment. Lorena and Christine are amazing and while their styles are unique to each one I always leave there feeling amazing! I have also gotten chiropractic adjustments from Dr. David Main and cannot say enough. He’s great and again I always leave them looking forward to my next appointment. With my work schedule I can only come in on Saturdays and so far they have always been able to me whether I call the same day or try to schedule in advance. I’m so glad I found this place!

Dr. Adams is the best! I have been seeing him for chiropractic work on my next for the last 2 months and I could not be happier. Being a hairstylist I have lots of aches and pains, which he managed to put at ease within a couple visits. Go see him! Also, the front desk coordinator, latoya, is super nice and helpful!

Zia approached me with acupuncture by making it easy for me — he visited me at home and when he came in, he sat me down and explained acupuncture and how it may help my specific condition, which he had researched beforehand, even sending me PDFs of information on my specific condition — a pull in my calf muscle called The Runner’s Point. He sent me a four page article in the mail, then proceeded to explain it to me when he visited in a manner I could easily understand. He didn’t waste a lot of time explaining, though, and soon he was sending needles methodically into my calf. There is no pain, but at times, there’s a minor ebbing sensation. The whole visit lasted less than an hour and that was mainly because I was asking a lot of questions afterwards. So does it work? It seemed to help. I had been healing pretty quickly, but I was still having trouble walking after Zia had left. By the end of the day, about 8 hours after the session, I was able to walk with hardly a limp. I liked it enough to leave Zia the best review I could write. One thing that really compelled me was Zia’s acute undestanding of physiology and anatomy. It was like speaking to a doctor and you could tell he really loves his work.

I honesty never knew how close this place was to my house. I would have came here long ago. Strongly reccomend this place. They’re honest doctors and secretary’s that are willing to help you. Depending weather you have insurance or not. I will definitely be coming back:) I’ve been feeling much better from the neck and lower back problem I had. Thank you guys :) — Marco A.

Love this place!
Never thought I needed a chiropractor until it was recommended to me by my doctor. I went and saw Dr. David Main, and was pleasantly surprised with how great I felt afterwards. I’m on my feet all day from working, lifting weights, holding awkward positions. I never realized how much work my spine needed.
If you are looking for a professional, caring, and honest chiropractor go here. You won’t be disappointed!

If you’ve ever had any doubts about acupuncture, fear not. I had some issues with anxiety and stress recently. I’ve heard many things about acupuncture, so I decided to try it. I went to Align because I read so many positive things about this place… And they were all true! Very professional, and the receptionist is the most kind and helpful young lady.
I met with the most extraordinary acupuncturist Zia… Zia took time to really assess my needs and concerns, he explained every step of the process… He was even so kind as to give me some recommendations for some herbal supplements to further support good health. I found Zia to be very knowledgable and dedicated to the craft of acupuncture, and when I found out he is working his doctorate in acupuncture and oriental medicine, I knew this guy was dedicated to helping others.
Needless to say after trying acupuncture, I was thankful I experienced it at the right place with the right acupuncturist. I’m hooked and will be a regular. The process, has helped relieve stress and anxiety.
A must try!!!

I came in beacuse of a recent surgery on my knee. I sew Zia and he’s awesome! Good looking guy and super knowledgable. He helped me ask my physical therapist the right questions and relived some pain I was experiencing in my knee. Great experience. I’d recommend him to anyone in the area!

I received a referral from my doc for Physical Therapy. I searched Unilocal for PT places close to my home with good reviews. I have seen a good number of Physical Therapists throughout the years because I had 2 arthroscopic knee surgeries, right rotator cuff tear and 2 herniated discs in my low back. I scheduled an appointment with the Physical Therapist Betsy in the morning around 9am for my left knee. I gotta say, she is amazing!!! She took the time to evaluate not only the main problem I came in for but all the other problems I had. She said the reason why she does a thorough evaluation is because any problems I have may be related or even cause my knee/​back pain. No other therapist took the time to do that! During my next follow up visits, she spent the whole hour working with me and was very hands on unlike other therapists who give you exercises and leave you to do it by yourself. She also explains why she has me do certain exercises and what muscle or body part I am strengthening or stretching and why it is beneficial to my condition. Another great thing was every time I came in, she had a different exercise program for me so it wasn’t boring and also progressed my repetitions and weights as she saw me improve. She is very knowledgable has a great and energetic personality even when I see her as early as
8AM which I need to feed off of especially when I haven’t had my coffee! =) I have seen her for about 4 weeks and she has done wonders not only for my knee but my back, shoulder and posture. Hopefully, I don’t get another injury, but if I do, I’m certainly coming back to see Betsy.

I went to see Zia the acupuncturist because I’ve been suffering from back pain for quite a while now. I have immediately seen the benefits of acupuncture. The tension and pain in my back has decreased and the my flexibility has really improved. I highly recommend anyone to go see Zia.

This place is awesome. I brought my wife and mom for some therapy. Dr. David Main works great with people. I can’t complain. He really wants to make you better. Honest and straight forward.

Unresponsive deadbeat!
Keep calling and sending emails, but no response. David Main may be young and new to business, but that’s no excuse for being completely inattentive to patients. Shame Shame Shame.

I was visiting the San Pedro/​Wilmington area for a work seminar and was staying with my cousin in Long Beach. He had an appointment with his chiropractor on my free day off and asked if I wanted to come along. I have my favorite chiro up in the bay area but I wanted to compare the southern cal. treatment styles. I’m very picky on my massage therapists, chirps, and acupuncturist but I was open to trying someone new. I’ll break my experience down for you.
This office was great and very welcoming. The front desk staff was very friendly and informative with the various methods of payment (cash vs. insurance) and my options. I just payed cash since I was on a quick visit. I never felt rushed which is a big deal for me, especially at a healthcare office. I felt very warm and welcomed. I did have to do an initial patient intake form which kind of sucked but I figured it was necessary. All the rooms are private which is another huge issue for me.
I was put with Dr. Main for my chiropractor and he was amazing! Super friendly and very helpful. The adjustment was awesome and way more comfortable than my bay area chiro. The nice thing is Dr. Main did a number of different techniques which I never experienced before. He took time with me and never rushed my treatment. My cousin got a massage while i was getting adjusted so it work out perfect. For about 3 years I have suffered from headaches and horrible neck pain. After my treatment I felt no pain for over a month with no headaches at all. I called my cousin and thanked him for taking me with him because I felt so good; he just laughed. Also, I’m not sure what the one star review is talking about because everything I saw at the office was very clean and organized. My cousin says the massage therapists are «off the chain» and he goes every week same time, same place.
To sum it all up, I would definitely go back when I visit my family and would recommend this office and Dr. Main to anyone who lives nearby. Trust me, I’ve had many many many chiropractors over the years and Dr. Main gave the most comfortable adjustment I have ever had… honestly. I would check this place out, you’ll be so happy you did.

I was referred to Zia by a family member and what a great referral that turned out to be. With Zia’s help it is my goal to avoid another cervical spine surgery as long as I can.
Zia is very patient and provides great explanations as to what he is doing and why. Very knowledgeable and wants to share that knowledge with others. After my first visit with Zia, I was able to raise my arms over my shoulders whereas I couldn’t after just having physical therapy at different location.
Staff at Align Health are patient, friendly and helpful. Doctor Main even came and discussed my situation with me and explained things my physical therapist didn’t.
Think I will switch my physical therapy to Align Health, as their physical therapist, Betsy, really spends time with her patients, as does Zia.

I have suffered for over 20 years with lower back pain primarily due to sports injuries but at times due to sitting down at my desk while I work. In the past couple of years I’ve been going to Align Health Center periodically and getting treated by Zia. He’s a great acupuncturist with fantastic bedside manner and a real empathetic way of listening and explaining things to his patients. I recommend Align Health Center highly and especially Zia with his great knowledge of medicine and how he applies that knowledge.
The only reason why I’m giving them four stars is because it can be difficult to schedule walk in appointments with Zia, so try to schedule in advance.

Hi, my name is Krystle… and I am a soccer addict. I play at least 5 times a week, coach for the LA Galaxy youth camps/​clinics, and just LOVE the game. To say I am obsessed with this sport would be an understatement. So, you can only imagine my dismay when I injured myself…
After playing for about 4 hours one day… I was getting shooting pain down in my lower ankle to the back of my knee. I just dismissed the pain and my injuries got EXCRUCIATINGLY worse. I tried everything from icing it to wrapping my ankle. However, whenever I pointed my toe to shot the ball or put pressure on my ankle… it was instant PAIN. My leg was just not having it; whenever I ran my knee/​ankle would hurt. and unfortunately running is a big part of soccer.
Finally, I dragged myself to the doctors. The diagnosis was that… I had tendonitis in my posterior tibia (fancy word for inner ankle) that ran all the way up to the back of my knee. I was referred to a sport physical therapy clinic and did that for about a month– went all out with ultrasounds, massages, hot/​cold compress, and some other fancy stuff that was suppose to help… BUT IT DIDN’T.
Super frustrated, I was willing to try anything and everything to get better. I was still in a lot of pain whenever I played. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING was helping my injuries go away. And that’s where Zia comes in…
I had never tried acupuncture before and the thought of needles has always made me feel a bit squeamish/​faintly. However, I was desperate for a solution and even sharp needles couldn’t scare me… kinda
Zia said he was on a mission to get me back and playing as soon as possible and I was certainly on board with that. He made me feel very comfortable and relaxed through my entire first time experience with acupuncture. Zia is also a sports addict and even plays soccer too. So he understood and sympathized with me and on my need to get better quick! I was very confident in his more than capable hands and he certainly knew a lot about sports injuries.
Zia explained to me the process of why acupuncture helps with injuries similar to mine-​something about platelet rich plasma regeneration. I couldn’t tell you the exact science behind it (For I am not the one with the Master’s in Oriental Medicine from Berkeley) but I am sure any questions you would have… Zia would clearly and effectively answer them for you… the guy definitely knows his stuff!
I didn’t realize that extent and amount of needles I would have to withstand and to be completely frank it was a bit uncomfortable at first. but let me tell you THIS… IN THE END. IT WAS ALL WORTH IT. Just within a few sessions, I kid you not… my ankle pains were ALREADY going away.
Zia also recommended me some herbal supplements which really helped accelerate my healing process. He is so knowledgeable with sport injuries and is a great option for people opting away from the tradition surgery methods.
I have never believed in anything, but now I believe in acupuncture. I am so thankful to Zia for treating my ankle and knee when I thought NOTHING would work. I am completely and truly amazed by the results. I have now recommend Zia’s amazing acupuncture sessions to my teammates, friends, and even some of the kids I coach. To say that he is a miracle worker wouldn’t be far from the truth and I am soccer playing proof of it!

This place is great! I was thoroughly impressed with the friendly staff and endearing doctors. They all make me feel right at home whenever I come in.
Prior to my visit I had muscle soreness and back pain from doing Crossfit a few times a week. I was also experiencing minor knee pain from years of competitive swimming. I had never tried acupuncture before coming here but, the acupuncturist who goes by Dr. Z is fantastic. Not only is he hilarious, but he is extremely knowledgeable and really gets to the root of your problems to ensure a quick recovery. One of the masseuses, Erika, was really great. She focused on the areas that were bugging me and continuously adjusted my massage to my liking. Just after a few visits, my muscle soreness and back pain significantly diminished. My knee pain, which had been present on and off for a few years, is very minimal and I can now train with more intensity 5 days a week.
They also have great herbs here. My mom has extreme nasal congestion and I figured I would buy her some nasal herbs to see if they could help any. After the first day, her congestion was 80% better!
I would recommend Align Health to anyone who is looking for quality healthcare and wellness.
