Extremely understanding, welcoming and helpful.

I’m 68 and I’ve 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 can’t go wrong with Dr. Kenneth Haywood.

Dr. Haywood is awesome I’ve had great success as an avid gym rat I’ve had my fair share of injuries and both times have I’ve 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.

He’s amazing. And I’m 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 couldn’t even bend to the floor. With a combination of treatments, including laser therapy, adjustments, the use of a decompression table 2-3 times a week, along with an exercise regimen to strengthen my core, my lower back feels better than ever!

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.

I injured my back and was in agonizing pain. I was desperate for help but had never experienced this kind of injury before. So I googled “chiropractor near me” and found Optimal Spine within walking distance from my home. Called. Got in on the same day. 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.

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.

I was rear ended in a car accident the second week in November 2023. I literally felt my body was dying with very low mobility from head to toe on my right side.

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 doctor’s 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 is such a great doctor, have brought my mother in for issues she has been dealing with for some years and for the first time in a while she is getting some positive outcomes he is patient and explains everything with such detail. totally recommend.

The doctor did a great job on the pain I was having and the staff is very nice.

Dr. Haywood really took the time to listen to the issues I had been experiencing, and performed efficient testings to determine the cause of my pain. His treatment plans are personalized and very effective! I highly recommend visiting Dr. Haywood at Optimal Spine and Sports Medicine for all your chiropractic needs in Houston!

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 “client” to “bring-in and move-out” 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.

Very knowledgeable and friendly. 10/10 would recommend

Great communication, process and availability. Definitely recommend.

I especially appreciate the practice's integration of chiropractic with physical therapy/ rehabilitative work- to me, it feels like this makes a world of difference (and stands out from other chiropractic clinics I've tried). 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. Less

Honestly I didn’t 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. I’m 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 I’ve 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 “lined out” & pain free. My daughter agrees too! 😊

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. He’s 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 can’t thank Dr.Haywood enough! He turned my pain into relief, and his genuine care made all the difference in my recovery.

I've had back/neck issues for over 30 years from a past car wreck, and I wouldn't trust anyone else for my chiropractic care. Dr. Haywood is excellent, can't recommend him enough!

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 patient’s 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
