Doctor Ben Ramos is a California native, grew up surfing, skateboarding, break dancing, and playing whatever sport was in season.

And it's not just physical -- being sidelined with back pain can lead to depression and anxiety. Avoiding the fun things in your life -- or even the normal everyday activities -- can make you depressed. And the anticipation about doing those activities that might cause pain can bring about all sorts of anxiety or worry.
But besides that, it can really hamper your productivity and leisure time or even have it come grinding to a halt. This includes spending time with your family or playing sports. It can even interfere with the simple everyday things we do. Getting a good night's rest, looking over your shoulder while driving.
Shoulder pain can be one of the most nagging and unrelenting types of problems you may ever have to deal with. It can go on for years if not properly addressed. One of the biggest issues with shoulder pain is that it can seriously interrupt your productivity. You may even feel like you're having to go through life with only one arm.
Hip pain can be one of the most limiting and frustrating types of injuries you may ever have to deal with. It can go on for years if not properly addressed. One of the biggest issues with hip pain is that it can negatively affect every area of your life. You may even start feeling pain in the opposite leg because of always having to rely on it for support.

As a skateboarder, it can be challenging to find medical professionals who will actively work to get you not just back skating again but at 110%. Luckily, Ben takes to the time to listen to the issues you are dealing with and gradually build you back to full strength while providing you the tools to maintain and improve you overall longevity in the activity.
I was recommended to Ben after suffering from nerve pain in my upper shoulder areas from skating that were limiting motion and preventing me from simple gym workouts back at the beginning of the year. Ben worked to diagnose not only the major

I have been to a few different chiropractors in the past and I always get a bit hesitant when I see someone new. I am so glad I made an appointment with Ben; he is extremely professional and knowledgeable. Ben takes the time to show you different exercise movements that will benefit you (in my case it's my lower back and hips). Ben and the staff at FlowForce are so helpful; they want you to get the best out of their treatments. I will definitely go back!

Dr. Ben is excellent. I tore my rotator cuff, luckily i didn't need surgery. I went to see Dr. Ben, we spoke for an hour. He wanted to check the range of motion. He then taught me 4 exercises to work on. After i demonstrated i knew how to do them, the appointment was over.
Dr. Ben couldn't be any friendly and easy to talk to. He also doesn't require patients to come back every week. He's not after your money. He's a genuinely good guy and cares about his patients.

I have had my lower back go out once or twice a year for several years and have had lower back pain/issues for the last 10 years due to sports injuries mixed with a desk job and commuting. I have been to multiple chiropractors and a physical therapist. None of them seemed to work. Last time my back went out I went to Dr Ben and I was having better movement and less pain an hour later and the next day my back was nearly 100%. That was the quickest recovery I had ever experienced. Dr Ben doesn't just throw textbook solutions at the problem, he literally studies your body, makes you perform movement

Dr. Ben is a great chiropractor. I always love going there and getting adjusted. He is a caring doctor that is consistently learning and is truly invested in getting results. His range of skills have helped get me moving better and running faster! He's great at adjusting the spine, ankles and hips. I would highly recommend FlowForce to anyone!

Dr. Ben Ramos is amazing. Professional, knowledgeable, personable, determined and excellent communication.
I was recommended to see Ben through a friend of a friend. I'd had nagging injuries all over for some time but focused on my pec/shoulder/neck with him. I was running out of options on places to go as all my MRIs/X-Rays came back negative.
I began implementing Ben's recommended rehab schedule. I did not see immediate, lasting results but and over time as I've continued to perform the exercises that he recommended, I have begun to see results. He pushed me past what I would have thought to

I have been an active person my whole life, and had managed to stay mostly free from injury and pain. However, that changed after I injured my shoulder trying to be a hero in the gym. I initially rested and tried to solve it on my own, but after a few months without significant progress, saw a general practitioner, started physical therapy (unfortunately not with Dr. Ramos) and began talking to a surgeon and had several cortisone shots. After a year and still in pain, I finally gave in and had shoulder surgery. However, nearly six months after the surgery, and being diligent about doing the recommended

I found Dr. Ben Ramos through a friend who also struggles with back pain, and my friend described Ben as “the most intentional physical therapist” he ever worked with, and I can honestly say Dr. Ramos met and exceeded those expectations. Since my first session with Ben I immediately started to see improvement with my chronic back pain. Ben brings a custom approach to my situation based on his extensive cross-disciplinary knowledge of how the body works, so the way he treats me as a patient is completely dependent on my personal body type, my history, and the various symptoms I'm experiencing

Several years ago I broke both my feet running- stress fractures in three different places in each foot that sent permanent injuries up my spine. I’ve been in pain for four years since that time. I can no longer run & I’m limited in what I can do, as my plantar fascia ruptured recently in one foot. I’ve gone to several specialists, physical therapists, chiropractors, doctors, etc. Nothing seemed to be working. When I met Ben, he took an approach that made me comfortable to try to get help again. I had given up. He gave me exercises that were simple that I could do on my own, without overwhelming

I came to see Dr. Ben Ramos after months of searching for answers to my back pain. The issues got worse over time, mostly from weightlifting. I was having serious trouble with all my day to day activities... sleeping, driving, sitting and any physical activity. I had a bulging disc, causing severe nerve pain running all the way into my toes, it was extremely painful and discomforting. I visited every doctor imaginable, before a friend told me about Ben. It was an amazing experience, I had never met a Dr. so caring and hands on before. He showed me some incredible tricks and exercises that I will
