If you suffer from chronic pain, call our Laguna Beach doctors today and find out how we can help. Many people suffer from pain and health challenges that the conventional medical model doesn't have a solution for. Through integrative medicine, we combine the best of many healthcare disciplines and natural practices to help people get to the root of the problem and find true, lasting restoration.

Our patients are freed to enjoy the activities they love and live life to the fullest. About 56 Million Americans today suffer from the effects of chronic pain. That's about 20% of all the adults in the United States, and the numbers continue to rise. What's unfortunate for most people is that their pain could be relieved.
Services
Through our integrative model, we bring together the best of many healthcare disciplines for your benefit, utilizing a wealth of knowledge, years of experience, and a wide range of services. We combine chiropractic, naturopathic medicine, functional medicine, physiotherapy, massage, nutrition, mind-body care and lifestyle medicine to provide well rounded and effective healthcare.
Health in Balance provides a broad range of services in Laguna Beach to treat many types of health challenges. From plans of care for long term restoration and correction to crisis/relief care and wellness services to a health pick-me-up, we cater to your health goals. Our treatments and services are designed to address the underlying problems causing the pain or dysfunction in order to bring about true healing!
Integrative medicine in Laguna Beach combines the best of many healthcare disciplines in order to provide cutting-edge care, treating the whole person by identifying the underlying issues inhibiting natural healing. When functioning properly, the body heals itself as it was designed to do. Health challenges arise when the body's systems get out of balance.
Since 1987, we have helped thousands of patients restore their health with long-term results! It is our joy to empower, equip, and partner with our patients in order to help others reach their health goals and be restored to the life they want to live. I came to Health In Balance in June of 2010 with severe migraines, visual disturbances, extreme pressure and pain in my neck, shoulders and back of my head.
Please identify the correct paperwork for you, download it, and fill it out in detail so we can better understand your current symptoms, concerns, and health goals. This will enable the doctor to spend more time with you one on one, not in asking basic questions. After your personalized examination, we DETERMINE THE CAUSES which may be creating your symptoms and we develop a working diagnosis that may include x-rays and/or MRIs.

Best chiropractor ive been too. They have a great mix of physical therapy massage and chiropractor that helps rehabilitate you instead of just cracking your neck. You can see their level of care in their work ethic.

Love going to Health In Balance. They make you feel right at home while providing you great care and encouragement. Everyone is so kind and provides a relaxing space that feels like a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life. I'm about halfway through my treatment and have already seen improvements. I'm excited to see how much better I feel by the end of it.

I began working with Health in Balance in late January of 2021 and almost immediately began feeling better and seeing results. By May, I had dropped a lot of weight, corrected some spinal degeneration/structural type issues and lowered my blood pressure. Most of all, I changed my behavior and how I treat my body. That staff at HIB are amazing, and most of all, they really care about helping their patients.

I have received spectacular personalized care that adapted with my condition. Dr Gary and Dr Jordan have been great and super helpful in addressing the questions and concerns that I have had surrounding my condition and my treatment. The staff upstairs have been so instrumental in diminishing my back and neck pain. The best part is probably how encouraging the staff is in my recovery process. It’s easy to feel down when things are uncomfortable, but it’s hard to feel down when you have such a great group of people supporting you.

I am so grateful to the staff at Health in Balance! They are so caring, intentional, and thorough with their treatment. I love how they seek to get to the root of your issue (not just cover it up) and truly want you to walk in complete restoration. I came in with really bad back and neck problems from several car accidents and have seen significant progress and healing in my 3 months here! And they have given me the tools to continue to see more healing as I move. Highly recommend them. Thank you so much to everyone at Health In Balance!

HIB has been a huge part of my journey to wellness. All the staff is super knowledgeable and great to work with. Amazing therapy and adjustments, too. Massages and cupping by Lauren has been a game changer!

The doctors and team and Health In Balance are amazing! I started seeing Dr. Gary as a teen to correct my posture while going through growth spurts and then later for rehab after a sports injury.
15 years later I have come back for treatment for lower back pain from years of athletic strain and sitting at a desk all day. In a few months I have great and noticeable improvements in my strength, range of motion and total decrease in pain. Dr. Gary, Dr. Lisa, Dr. Jordan and the entire physical therapy team truly work wonders!
Additionally their office staff is so kind, welcoming, responsive and truly

I have been coming to Dr. Lisa for years. She is knowledgeable, thorough, very kind and professional. I didn’t know what was going on with me but after she tested me in different areas, I was diagnosed correctly on my first visit. The supplements she recommended were fairly priced and have worked wonders for me. I highly recommend Health In Balance. Thank you again, Dr. Lisa

Halleluiah...I went into Health In Balance today. I enjoyed a complimentary chat with Dr. G, an adjustment and some exercise suggestions, and a welcome from Dr G's Daughter. It was great! I received more information and relief than I did from my Internist! And a much happier staff...and they only asked for a donation to their favorite two charities!

Snake oil salesmen. I spend $300 on ONE visit and that was with the new customer discount! Then, they tried to push $100 worth of supplements on me that I found on Amazon for $30. Had I kept my my next appointment it would've been $900. I don't know how they sleep at night. I just got the exact same thing done to me at a chiropractor that charged $45 and I feel better than I did for $300, Shame on them. I sure wouldn't want their karma.

My friend and I came to this place. While it might have great yelp reviews our experience was very different. We were given a hard sales pitch that included scare tactics saying that we may be crippled soon. They tried to sell us very expensive supplements. We were pushed and asked if there were no family members that could help us pay for it, asked if we had credit cards to pay for it, we felt like we were in a car dealership. Basically my friend was told that if we didn't come up with $8000 that she wouldn't be able to walk soon. Obviously we won't be back.

ALOHA WEEK at HEALTH IN BALANCE was a hit!! Morea will great you with a joyous smile& is an absolute delight. Dirk was warm & welcoming. He really is very skilled in his techniques. Dr. Gary gave me an adjustment. He really knows how to get in there & make those deep adjustments. I was impressed.. I've been seeing chiropractors for years, so I know a good adjuster when I feel one.
Thank you Health in Balance

I really wanted to like this place because everyone has been friendly and for the proximity of location but their covid practices are unacceptable. The staff who wear masks wear poor quality cloth masks that are constantly falling off their faces and a few of the staff don't even wear their masks properly above their nose. There were even a few times that I saw staff and patients without masks walking around the office and I was astounded. After a few visits and tolerating these unsafe Covid practices, I finally complained to a few people in hopes that something would change and I really do

I came to Health In Balance in tremendous pain from a back injury. My only concern at the time - to be out of the excruciating pain I was in. They have done just that. The expert care I have received is allowing me to live my life normally, but a new normal, one that is healthier for my body. I can not compliment this team of professionals enough for their excellent expert care.

I discovered this gem last week & was extremely happy to know they are in Laguna Beach, where I live. My goal was to establish a wellness program under one roof and they cover all that at HIB. Their entire staff works together & it is a collective team that makes you feel like you are really being treated well. Everyone is so friendly & have great energy. If you haven't been here yet, I recommend it 100%!
