Joseph Ling, DC

I started seeing Dr. Joe after I fell off my bike riding downhill and had the worst low back pain after. I probably aggravated it a lot playing golf but it got to the point one day where it was too painful to walk and I needed to seek help. Dr. Joe was nearby so I scheduled an appointment. The first visit he took his time to examine and really figure out what was going on. His treatment was gentle but the best experience I’ve had with a chiropractor. He basically put his hands on my low back and I could feel instant relief. After I stood up I was absolutely amazed with how much better I felt. He gave me exercises to do at home so I wouldn’t have this problem again.

Dr. Joe is great! He’s professional, well spoken, kind and great at what he does. His bedside manner is impeccable and he does more than just your typical adjustment. When you see Dr. Joe you know you’re going to get simple, honest direction in getting yourself back in working order. Very knowledgeable and highly recommended!

I was having pain in my shoulder by getting back into tennis too quickly, combined with too much rec. softball. I couldn’t serve in tennis without deep pain in the front of my shoulder, and throwing more than one or two softballs with any force sent sharp pain through my shoulder.
I thought I had a tear in my rotator cuff, but within about 5 minutes of several simple motions with my arm he had diagnosed the issue. Dr. Ling had a series of deep stretches he put my arm through along with several minor adjustments. He also gave me a handful of small exercises to work through during the week. I met with Dr. Ling about twice a week and within about 2 appointments I saw noticeable improvement in my arms range of motion without pain. After about a month my range of motion was back to what it was supposed to be, and the pain was gone. I have continued to see Dr. Ling, with less frequency, as I have started to use my shoulder again, and I am glad to report I am pain free!
I highly recommend Dr. Ling if you have any sports related injuries to yourself that won’t go away!

Dr. Ling was excellent! Great office environment, really personable and an expert at his practice.
I’ve been to several chiropractors before and have felt that they rush through patients and are never on time. Dr. Ling doesn’t «warm you up» on back rollers or force you to spend time looking at ads for healthy living supplementals, he is truly there for his patients.
I saw Dr. Ling for neck tension and computer related strain. He provided me with an excellent point of view, tips on how to correct/​eliminate my symptoms, and a better understanding of my underlying causations.
I highly recommend Dr. Joseph Ling to anyone in the Costa Mesa area.

Great staff with nice office. Very friendly and knowledgable about the the field of chiropractic care. Easy appointment schedule was what I liked about Joe and the fact that they truly care about your health and treating issues rather then just fixing current pain. Joe gave me exercise to do at home that helped strengthen my muscles. If your looking for an affordable, knowledgable chiropractic doctor I would highly recommend checking them out!

When I got into a car accident and started to experience some neck and upper back pain, I was referred to Dr. Ling. I was originally seeing a chiropractor that was closer to my house so I was a little weary to switch over. However, Dr. Ling offered a free consultation and it definitely put my mind at ease. I felt that he was very knowledgeable and a lot more attentive to my needs than my original chiropractor. My previous experiences at the chiropractor consisted of being hooked up to some type of electro-​nerve machine for about 15 mins and they would send me on my way. I would receive an occasional adjustment here and there, but I did not see or feel any improvement. Seeing that this was my first time having major neck and back pain, Dr. Ling took the time to not only answer all my questions, but I could tell that he really cared about my recovery and well being. Other notable factors were that they keep their facilities very clean and the other workers were also very friendly. I would highly recommend Dr. Ling for all your chiropractic needs!

Dr. Ling is truly a leader in his field, he constantly stays up on all of the most recent research in order to bring the leading treatment options to his patients. He pushes the limits to find real answers for complicated cases like mine and is an amazing addition to anyone’s healthcare team.

Dr. Ling is fantastic! He is very caring and attentive. His knowledge amazes me. He always seems to know how to make me feel better. He not only treats my pain but educates me on ways to prevent the pain from coming back. He’s one of the only Chiropractors who I’ve ever let adjust me. He makes feels comfortable and cared for. I would highly recommend him!

So I had some pain/​discomfort in my left wrist. (I think I injured it by lifting weights improperly or during mountain biking)
I thought the pain would go away, but it got worst and became difficult to put my seat belt on. A friend recommended that I should have Joe check it out, so I did. Joe had me flex my wrist in a position then he massaged it. He also gave me some stretches to do while at home and followed up. I was 90% better within a week and completely healed by 2.5 weeks.

Dr. Joseph Ling has been a great contributor to my health and knowledge. He has helped me with my rib pains and getting my neck moving again. My headaches have decreased so much since being taken care of by Dr. Ling. I am always sitting during the day, whether I work or go to school, so Dr. Ling has suggested some great exercises that I can use everyday with my busy life. He is a great doctor and I can’t wait to get another adjustment.

I would highly recommend Dr. Ling. He is extremely knowledgeable and personable in his approach and explanation of treatment goals for various conditions I have had. He focuses on you as an individual and really explores where your true problem is coming from. He has helped me focus on my overall health and wellness. I find that Dr. Ling explains everything well and he makes me feel very comfortable with his treatment. I feel confident in his ability and overall judgement. His adjustments in addition to soft tissue work has helped me greatly and I would highly recommend him for anyone in the area. I always left feeling much better and with the sense that I was in control of my health and he was there to optimize the goals I wanted to reach.

Dr. Joseph Ling is a wonderful chiropractor! He really listens to my health concerns and takes the time to explain my condition. His personable, approachable, and professional nature makes it comfortable to enter his office to receive an adjustment. I look forward to his continued care as I begin my journey to wellness. I definitely recommend him to my friends and those who are looking for a great chiropractor!

Dr. Ling is great! He is very knowledgeable and seems to genuinely care about your well being and ability to heal. I’ve had a few adjustments from him already and they are always gentle and comfortable. His soft tissue work and muscle stretches made a huge difference in pain I was having in my wrist and he blew me away by treating not the actual wrist, but instead the muscles in my forearm that connect to wrist. He explained everything he was doing and has very patient with me. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the area looking for a good chiropractor!

Dr. Joe Ling is one of the few chiropractors that I let adjust me. His adjustments are very comfortable and effective, and I am always feeling on top of my game after each treatment I get. He’s a big believer in treating the entire person, and his therapies and muscle treatments are always top notch. If you are looking for a great chiropractor, Dr. Ling is your guy. He is very honest in his recommendations, and he really wants his patients to take control of their own health. You will leave his office fully understanding your condition, and everything you need to do at home to speed up your recovery and progress. Overall, there isn’t enough good things I could say about the work he does.
