I believe that quality chiropractic care works. It has worked for me in the past. I moved to a new home and had to search for a new, competent chiropractor in my area.

I believe that quality chiropractic care works. It has worked for me in the past. I moved to a new home and had to search for a new, competent chiropractor in my area. I visited two chiropractors and still was not getting relief from lower back spasms, which were preventing me from walking, standing, sitting, or sleeping comfortably. I was concerned with the amount of pain relief I had to take to just get to and stay asleep. I called Optimal Spine and Sports Medicine after an ad popped up. I am glad I did! Dr. Haywood is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and effective. In fact, I just returned from a trip and realized I was walking two major airports WITHOUT PAIN! This was the first time in three years I didn't notice my lower back. I'm so thankful I kept looking for good chiropractic care and trusted Dr. Haywood. š Less
Dr Haywood was very professional and courteous knowledgeable and understanding towards my condition I've had some bad experiences with prior chiropractors. Telling me false hope however Dr Haywood was very upfront and honest with me I appreciate his feedback towards me and I look forward to working with him more in the future.
The that was provided was successful and professional Thank you have a wonderful day

I went to Optimal Spine and Sports Medicine for back pain that I had never felt before in my life. I had done some heavy lifting and a sudden, sharp movement shortly after while walking my dog left me unable to function at a normal level for several weeks. I tried stretching and ice mixed with heat as well as other home remedies but I had no signs of improvement. It was not until I visited Dr. Haywood at Optimal Spine and Sports Medicine that I started to recover. From when I first arrived, Dr. Haywood and his team were incredibly attentive, and provided the best care I could have asked for. They worked with my schedule, actually followed up and checked in with me to make sure I was progressing in my treatment and when I was concerned about something, they gave thoughtful responses and adjusted my case specific approach accordingly. Between Dr. Haywood actually working on my back, the STEM and table system treatments, stretching, new approaches to exercising and lifestyle changes, I can happily say today that I no longer have anymore pain and I have returned to my normal day to day activities. I am so thankful for what Optimal Spine and Sports Medicine did for me. I cannot stress enough how confident I felt with my care in their hands. I highly recommend to anyone who is in a similar situation as I was to go in and see what Dr. Haywood and his team at Optimal Spine and Sports Medicine can do for you. Less
As a medical professional myself, I am so impressed by Dr. Haywood's extensive knowledge of the whole body. He has brought me such great relief of my various problems which include neck, low back, and shoulder. Excellent bedside manner and great communication skills. Very clean nice practice . I am so happy to have finally found a professional that I plan on staying with. KB

The service here is phenomenal. The staff are very professional and proficient. During my visits I'm confident they'll get the job done. I was so impressed by how he sat and engaged asking questions and showed how much he cares about his patients that I just had to stop him mid session and express what I felt. Check them out for yourself, trust me!
I came here not knowing what to expect and had significant lower back pain and just wanted help. Now coming to the chiropractor is my favorite day of the week.
If I could give six stars I would. I love the staff and the doctor is super down to earth and caring.

Great visit ! Very patient and listens to all of your concerns. Would highly recommend!
Extremely understanding, welcoming and helpful.
Iām 68 and Iāve had a spine fusion and laminectomy. Dr. Haywood has helped me reduce chronic pain and with continued care I keep improving. Besides significant physical improvements I also have gotten a better outlook on having a better overall health. Dr Haywood has an attitude that we will make improvements and that chronic joint problems can get vastly improved.
If you looking for help and your in pain come here. Dr. Hayward is a true master of his craft. No only that, but unlike many doctors who try to "string you along" he is actually trying to help people. Thumbs up!
Whenever I arrive for therapy the staff is always professional, kind, and patient. They are very flexible and try to accommodate appointments around your schedule. I highly recommend because they turn an in pleasurable experience into something to look forward to while healing.
Welcoming environment gives awesome description of how everything works the steps and procedures and what to expect. Cool place.
Great service and even better experience with the Doctor! He was very detailed in making sure we got the proper help we needed! Fantastic atmosphere!!!
Dr Haywood is a nice human being in addition to being an excellent chiropractor. He made me feel comfortable and safe with his thoughtful approach. I am so pleased with the quick results for what seemed like a minor but annoying injury. I just feel better in general- his treatments affect the whole mind & body. Thank you!
Dr. Haywood is a compassionate and caring chiropractor. He is always attentive to patient concerns and questions. I am very happy I found him. He treated my long term neck problem and pain from whiplashes due to many car accidents. Another great reason for me to choose him, he is in my insurance network providers. You canāt go wrong with Dr. Kenneth Haywood.

Dr. Haywood is awesome Iāve had great success as an avid gym rat Iāve had my fair share of injuries and both times have Iāve gotten improvement. I will definitely keep using Optimal Spine and Sports Medicine.
Optimal Spine and Sports Medicine is a place of superior service in one visit; I felt better I had been suffering with a pain in my shoulder for over a year and this Dr cured it or made it better.
Dr. Haywood is thoughtful, thorough, knowledgeable, personable and caring. He really took the time to listen and understand my back pain and lead me to the results I hoped for. Clean facility/office. Highly recommend!
Awesome Doctor! His service is Top Notch. My doctor is better than yours. He's very informative and knowledgeable within his practice. He always goes above and beyond for his patients. He deserves 10 stars 10/10.
Heās amazing. And Iām glad I go to him. I can do a lot more things after going to my appointments with him.
I came to Dr. Haywood with upper back and neck pain from feeding and picking up my newborn baby. He was able to relieve that pain with adjustments and exercises and return me back to normal within weeks! Highly recommend his practice for new moms who need relief!
Dr. Haywood is awesome. He's really knowledgable about what exercises to do in conjunction with adjustments. When I first came to Optimal Spine and Sport I was dealing with a lot of pain in my neck and shoulders. He showed me specific exercises to work on between sessions to help correct muscular imbalances to reduce pain. I appreciate his thoughtfulness and approach to care!
My experience with Dr. Haywood has been fantastic! When I first came in for treatment, I had terrible lower back pain. I couldnāt even bend to the floor.

First time to visit Optimal Spine & Sports Medicine and I was impressed. The facility is modern, clean and a super convenient Heights area location AND with plenty of parking on site. Dr. Haygood was friendly, asked questions to assess my issue and began a treatment plan. 5 star facility, doctor and I would definitely recommend.

Dr Haywood will take you on a journey - physical, mental, emotional - to healing. Incredibly knowledgeable and patient. And just a really nice guy! If you have a neck or back injury, this is the place. I received treatment at the office, did the assigned exercises between visits and was better after the first visit. Completely healed in a month. And best of all, now I feel confident I have the tools to prevent it from happening again. Thanks Dr Haywood! Less
Dr. Haywood has been nothing short of amazing! As an active runner and lifter I came in with persistent pain in my elbow- through a combination of treatments and exercises, I am virtually pain free! After a car accident I had persistent back pain and through regular adjustments and stretches I am moving and feeling much better. Highly recommend!
Everything was great. The doctor is very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly.

I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Haywood for severe upper back pain, and I couldn't be happier with the care I received. Dr. Haywood is not only incredibly kind and considerate, but he also takes the time to thoroughly explain everything and answer all my questions (sometimes I may have a lot ). He initially recommended the use of a decompression table as part of my treatment plan. He respected my financial constraints and didn't pressure me (he actually offered many payment options). His approach of prioritizing my well-being over and adjusting my treatment plan rather than a hard sell on the table is truly commendable. After consistently seeing him for three weeks, my pain has significantly improved from a 7-8 to a 1-2. Dr. Haywood's knowledge and genuine concern for his patients shine through, making him the best chiropractor I've experienced. Less
Dr. Haywood is a talented and caring doctor that put my personal goals and needs at the forefront of my care. Very personable and is focused on my pathway to a healthier lifestyle. He is compassionate and a great motivator.
Wonderful practice! I followed Dr. Haywood from his previous location. Excellent doctor. Wonderful care!
Dr. Haywood is a great hard working doctor who cares about his patients. I needed some extra help to recover and his treatments helped tremendously. Thanks Doctor Haywood.

Highly recommend! Dr Haywood will explain your condition, the treatment necessary, and why that type of treatment is critical. There is constant follow-up and will answer questions thoroughly. More importantly, my condition improved with the doctorās help!
I highly recommend Dr. Haywood. His thorough approach quickly alleviated my initial pain, and his consideration of long-term factors was helpful in addressing the root cause of the issue. During follow-up visits, he maintained a professional yet personable demeanor which created a reassuring and comfortable environment. I felt at ease and confident in his expertise. A top-notch professional!

Dr. Haywood at Optimal Spine is truly the best. He helped isolate, identify, then treat my issue with genuine care. He is knowledgeable, thoughtful, and understanding. I feel like I am being taken care of, not just another āclientā to ābring-in and move-outā to get to the next patient. 10/10 would recommend Dr. Haywood to anyone with any type of aches/pains.
Dr. Haywood has given stellar service. The sessions he has done have helped a lot to relieve my neck and back pain and he really explains everything and makes sure all my questions are answered.

Dr. Haywood has thoughtfully answered every question I bring, and always has helpful recommendations for what I can do to ease symptoms. I noticed improved range of motion and comfort after just our first session (specifically related to round ligament issues), and after five sessions I'm continuing to feel better and stronger going into my third trimester.

Honestly I didnāt really even fully believe in Chiro and have gone to others before. He legit made me not only feel better but regain range of motion in one visit. Iām a convert. Will be going back. Highly recommend.
Great support! Knowledgeable chiropractor with a high professional behavior. My back pain condition has been improving enormously.
Dr. Haywood has been the best chiropractor Iāve ever dealt with. He explains everything thoroughly so that I can understand why and how my exercises benefit me. He truly cares about his patients and is honest with the results. I have recommended him to all my family and friends.
Optimal spine has assisted me greatly with my degenerative disks, I am walking taller and without numbness for the first time in years.
The staff is consistently pleasant & friendly. Dr. Haywood is always kind, attentive & takes time to listen to all my concerns. He is very thorough, knows exactly how to get me ālined outā & pain free. My daughter agrees too! š
I met Dr. Haywood through business networking and instantly liked him. After being treated only a couple times, I have greater range of motion and am amazed how much less pain and tightness I have in my back, neck and hips. Heās also cured my ankle pain. I trust him because his language includes personal home-care. Highly recommend.
Easy access to new patient registration and excellent care by Dr. Haywood. Will definitely continue to come back!
Dr Haywood provides many different techniques To understand more clearly where my pain or discomfort is coming from, And then he provides an adjustment and therapies to relieve me of the pain and discomfort. Typically, after 40 to 50 minutes I am feeling relieved. And, thank you Dr Haywood for the awesome chiropractic care that you provide to your patients.
I canāt thank Dr.Haywood enough! He turned my pain into relief, and his genuine care made all the difference in my recovery.

I had the privilege of working alongside Dr. Kenneth Haywood, or Doc as we call him, starting in November 2020. Initially, I joined his team as a chiropractic assistant and rehab tech, and over time, I took on various roles including front desk and eventually office manager. During my own recovery from two different car accidents, Dr. Haywood's treatment and care made a tremendous impact on my healing process. His attention to detail and expertise played a vital role in ensuring that my recovery time was minimized, and I was able to recover 100% and be pain free. What impressed me most about Doc was his knowledge and understanding of his specialty, and his patience and respect for all his patients. His intelligence and thoroughness were truly remarkable. I witnessed firsthand him diagnose a stroke in progress during an examination and quickly take action to ensure the patient's safety. His swift response and expertise saved the patientās life. While working with Doc, the atmosphere was always one of teamwork from start to finish. If you were part of the team, you understood the importance of collaboration and being a team player. It was this sense of unity that created a supportive and positive environment for both the staff and patients. Personally, Doc has been an incredible mentor to me. He taught me how to handle challenging and uncomfortable situations with poise and patience. I truly look up to him as both a person and a doctor. His dedication, knowledge, and genuine care for his patients have made a lasting impact on my life. I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Dr. Haywood and to have been his patient. He is an exceptional chiropractor, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking compassionate care, thorough expertise, and a true advocate for their well-being. Less
