The Joint ...the Chiropractic Place

This place has really been amazing for me, in particular Dr. Assadian. I was having some extremely intense neck issues. I really was desperate and my sister told me to to visit this doctor since she is only in on Friday’s and Saturday’s. I went to go see her and instantly my wry neck (the type of injury) I had started to heal. The pain kept shifting in my neck, and everytime she was able to find it and do something that improved the condition. She knows what she is doing and I am very grateful to her. I wish she was available more throughout the week though. Also the price is extremely reasonable on a monthly pass, I was in the situation where it was too good to pass up, really happy and thankful.

I’ve been going to Chiropractors my whole life and for the last 2 years have been a part of The Joint. Since there are so many locations– which makes it super convenient wherever I am– there are also many Doctors. Thankfully they’ve all been good, and every now and then you find a really good one– one who really gets all the cracks and kinks out, even ones you weren’t aware of. For the last 10 months I’ve been consistently going to the Encinitas location and I’ve been satisfied.
But for the last 2 months there has been a new Doctor, Dr. ASADIA, and she is SO WONDERFUL! I’ve never experienced a Chiropractor like her. Instead of walking in, laying down, and getting the regular routine of cracking everything, she took the time to get familiar with my spine. I laid on the table and she purposefully went through each vertebrae, my hips, my neck, shoulders, legs, all of it. Because she did that, she exactly knew what needed to be adjusted and which maneuver to best put you in line. Dr. Asadia exudes love, care, knowledge, and healing; you walk away feeling so taken care of– I wish I could convey the feeling.
I so appreciate (during each visit) her assessment, remembering my case/​life so that she is able to monitor my healing i.e. the progress of getting my neck back in place and to know when something is oddly out of place.
Instead of the quick fix 3 minutes of cracking, it’s 5 minutes and taking those extra 2 minutes makes a huge difference.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND seeing Dr. Asadia. Right now I believe she’s working Fridays and Saturdays.

I’ve been a patient or a client of The Joint for several years. I love this place. I have always needed adjustments on my back to keep me healthy, active and feeling good and have visited many chiropractors since I was in my twenties. No in my 70’s I must say that this is a much needed care provider and at a very reasonable price. There was some talk about closing on Sundays, and have no plans of doing so in the future. And yeah to that. I want o validate that each time I visit the Mira Mesa store, I am greeted by friendly staff and Doctor and always leave feeling better than when I arrived. If you are reading this and you have any skepticism about their program, I can tell you not only does it work, but the cost is priced so reasonable that it just doesn’t make sense not to get the care that you deserve.

I went there today on Sunday, arrived at opening time. They opened on time. Took me about 15 minutes to fill out intro paperwork, about 5 minute wait and then saw the chiro, who was nice and personable. Had an ankle out, he worked on that, and then did the usual lower back and neck adjustments. Was out of there 30 minutes after arriving. The ability to see someone on Sunday is great, and their prices are inexpensive, even if you pay as you go (their programs also reduce the cost a lot).

bottom line, he fixed me. $ 59 for 4 visits seems fair, just dont forget to cancel or they auto bill u each month. my neck was so tweaked, sleeping was painfull, scratching my nose felt like someone stabbed me in the neck. i tried to heal on my own, but it wasnt workin. 1^st visit fixed all that. very glad i went. doc felt my neck problems were stemming from a major injury, but all i had was 1 almost 40 years ago. he thinks thats the cause. i am sceptical. he said it was 1 of the worst necks he’d ever seen, in 34 years of practice. so i’m either very special, or thats something he says to keep u going back and making him $. ive heard many chiros are scammy like that, but i wouldnt know how true it is. all i know is he fixed me from some pretty agonizing stuff on the 1^st visit. i also like the «just show up» instead of appointments. its a pretty short wait usually. after a month there, it seems that the older (experienced) docs are better at gettin the cracks. wish i knew the docs names. best doc i saw was working on fridays at the time. the youngest guy i saw couldnt do anything for me, it was a worthless visit. i’m feeling pretty good overall. also, they require 30 days notice to cancel your month to month plan. if u try to cancel at the end of the month, they may bill u for the following month.

Love the 7-​day walk-​in convenience and affordability of the Joint; I get an adjustment every week near work or home (Oceanside office) for a reasonable monthly cost and rarely have to wait more than 5 min. I’m especially loving Dr. Ross, who works at the Encinitas office on Fridays; he’s got 20+ yrs experience and it shows.

Dr Brooks is awesome, but I take issue with how they run this office. This is the second time I have come here to an empty office thinking there was no wait. People come in after me and are told to go back before me. When I question it they say there was a reason they had to leave, so it’s a courtesy to let them ahead. This time they let 2 people ahead and what appeared to be no wait was an extra half hour. If it is a true walk in place, they shouldn’t be doing this. They also didn’t let me know, just waited until o asked why this was happening.

Having never been to a Chiropractor, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I limped into the The Joint in Encinitas. I was experiencing some pretty intense sciatica pain and finally gave in. By «gave in,» I mean I called every Chiropractor in North County Saturday night on the off chance that I might find one willing to see me the next day. The Joint is the only office I found whose doors were open on a Sunday, and I can’t applaud them enough for this.
After filling out some medical questionnaires, privacy notices and such, I was introduced to Dr. Brooks who listened as I explained what I believed was the source of my pain, and how long it had been going on. He laid me down and conducted a brief exam before executing two adjustments on my Lower back /​hip.
The entire process took less than 30 minutes and he gave me a brief diagnosis and treatment regimen. About as easy as any single medical procedure could be.
The office is sparse but elegant. Simple furnishings and a concrete floor highlight the facility. Pricing is exceptionally low. I could have used the $ 19.95 introductory for checking in for the first time. But instead was offered my first visit free of charge after happily purchasing a package which included a succession of appointments to adjust my spine and ensure my hip and lower back healed properly.
I’m extraordinarily happy with the level of care I received at The Joint and with Dr. Brooks and his staff. Great Office, Great facility, Great Job.
Happy adjusting!

First time ever being adjusted! Amazing! Instant relief! I saw Dr. Brooks and he did exactly what I was hoping for. Maddison, the front desk girl, told me he’s more on the aggressive side which is fine by me! Thanks so much guys!

Dr. Brooks is a great chiropractor. I highly recommend. The best part is they are affordable.

DO NOT go to this place. After my second adjustment I woke up to EXTREME pain and could not get out of bed. I was forced to use a vacation day and ice my back all day. I stupidly bought a package deal and they refuse to refund me. I will never go back there again.

I really value this place. The price is phenomenal and I have found 2 quality chiropractors to work with. Dr. Adam and Dr. Larry do incredible adjustments. Dr. Adam goes really deep and can adjust the most difficult tweek. And Dr. Larry is gentle if you have any fears of chiropractors, he is a great one to start with. He leaves me feeling aligned and taken care of. I have been going to the joint for over 6 months and Dr. Larry and Dr. Adam have helped to realign me after a stressful week.

First the good… It’s a good, affordable and efficient way to get weekly adjustments. First I was skeptical about a «walk-​in» practice, concerned that there would be a long wait, but somehow whenever I’ve walked in, I’ve either been the next in line or had to wait for a maximum of 10 minutes.
The bad is that during the year or so that I’ve been going to this location, there’s been a inordinate amount of turnovers in both the doctors and the receptionists, making the service received hit and miss. I’ve been adjusted by several really good chiropractors but none of them have stuck around long enough to establish any kind of continuity in treatment. And I do believe that when seeing a chiropractor or any other health professional continuity (working with the same person) is key. There also seems to be no «standard or practice» and each chiropractor tends to perform their own «methods». One chiropractor used a «gun» device which I hadn’t experienced before that was awkward, some are very aggressive, others are gentle yet effective. mu current favorite is by far Dr. Larry — unfortunately he’s only there 2 half days so I have to work my schedule to get to see him. But I’ve seen progress and hope he’ll stick around longer than the usual doctors. I had cancelled my automatic membership a few months ago, but have now reinstated it hoping that I can keep seeing this one chiropractor.
The receptionist/​front desk staff seems to have changed quite a few times as well. Some for the better, some for the worse. They’re all polite, so no issues there, but it seems that there isn’t enough training in procedures and practices so depending on who you ask a question, you’re likely to get a different response. In fact this was one of the other reasons I had stopped my recurring membership as I was told that unless I cancelled at the end of the year it would automatically commit me to another 6 months. As it turns out, that wasn’t the case and I’m able to continue on a month to month basis and cancel with 30 day notice (at least that’s the newest information provided to me).
In summary, it’s worth giving it another few months and seeing if the current doctors do stick around. I was assured yesterday that the current doctors are here to stay. So fingers crossed.

Thanks Dr. Adam. Always get the adjustment just right for what is needed that particular day! I recommend you all the time to my clients

Been going here for about a year and while hit and miss with the quality of the Chiropractors, i always get a great adjustment with Dr Adam Kleinberg.
Most practitioners here seem to just go by the numbers to get you out the door. Once you get a practitioner that is in tune with your body and gives a great service, they move them to another location.
Dr Adam takes his time to make sure you get everything set right. Have had a total of Three sessions with him since he arrived and each was very well done. Will seek him out in the future for all my adjustments. Great work Dr Adam K.
As an aside, Dr Randy at the Seal Beach location is OUTSTANDING.

Finally found the right person here. Adam Kleinberg is perfect. He was able to adjust me where others couldn’t. Today took my 86 year old Mother to see Adam, she was was having upper back pain and headaches. He did a full and complete assessment of her, taking into consideration all her medical conditions. He is very compassionate and was able to make her feel better. Adam is the best!

I have been getting chiropractic adjustments for 15+ years. I have always felt it’s better to prevent than to cure!
I have been travelling a long distance to get adjusted by another great chiropractor but I’m glad I gave the Encinitas location another chance. I just got my second excellent adjustment from Dr. Adam Kleinberg. This doctor exudes confidence and understands how the human body moves to the «t». He gently adjusts what is out of alignment and you walk out feeling like new! I will be a regular here again. Thank you Dr. Adam!

Unilocal wins again! Dr Adam Klienberg is my neighbor and gave me my first adjustment ever. I had many questions and concerns since i have never been adjusted before. Dr. Adam not only helped answer all my questions, he made me feel extremely relaxed and confident in my decision. I was able to relax and let him work his professional skills. My back and neck were always in pain for many years due to construction and manual labor trades. I was left feeling like a new person and slept amazing many days after. I fully trust and recommend Dr. Adam Klienberg to anyone who wants to feel amazing and be properly & professionally adjusted!

All I can say is wow. Dr Adam is totally awesome. I have been to other joints and chiropractors and none compare.
I am a big guy and sometimes hard to adjust. Dr Adam perfectly adjusted me!
I highly recommend this joint over all others.

I came to this location looking for the same excellent experience that I had with Dr. Moore before he left the escondido location. The reviews at this location were very positive and the location is fairly close to my home. The moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted by the professional front desk staff. The décor was nice and the wait was short. When I was brought back, I met with Dr. Kleinberg. He was very warm and personable. He listened to what I was having issues with and I didn’t feel rushed. The adjustment was great and was relieved that my experience was positive and that I would have somewhere to go. Thank you Dr. Kleinberg, I looked forward to future adjustments at this location!

Best chiropractic adjustment that I have had in a looong time!
Friendly staff and great adjustment is why my husband and I continue to come back.
Thanks Dr Adam Kleinberg

First day trying out The Joint. Great adjustment by Dr Adam. Definitely going to be a regular visitor. Angie was super friendly at the front desk. Additionally, they have packages which prove more economical than insurance with Co Pay.

Had an adjustment a few days ago with Dr. ADAM and I still feel amazing. Great adjustment, great service, friendly faces.

Dr. Adam is a magic maker. I have been to many chiropractors and I know when you get so lucky to experience the expertise of a magical dr. Most Drs have a hard time finding all «my issues» in my neck, back… He took care of all my needs within lightning speed. I’m stoked! Thank you!

This place cracks me up. That was ridiculous right? I just had to start with something.
I have been living with a real pain for a long time. No, not my wife. I’ve been living with here for only half of a long time. And she, at least, has some redeeming qualities. It’s my back. It’s a chronic pain. It’s always around. Though there are some similarities between the two, one of them I love and the other I have gotten used to. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. She’s going to read this and show me what real pain is.
So, before that happens, I’ll tell you about my experience with «The Joint». I have been only twice and the first time was a few days ago. I was in terrible pain, slumped over, my face all crunched up and my lower back in agony. I finally decided to take action and try this place. Cost is a big issue for me because I know that nothing is going to give me permanent relief. I don’t want to spend $ 50 or more only to need it again in a few days. However, At around $ 15 plus or minus a few dollars, (price packages being the variable), I feel this is something that I can make exception to. I mean for about $ 15 I can afford to feel good. Makes sense right? I gotta think they set up their business plan with that theory in mind.
The procedure is fast but they get right to the point. My lower back hurt and I couldn’t stand completely upright. Dr. Larry adjusted my neck, hips, shoulders and lower back and I sat up straight immediately. Relief and relaxation began to smooth out my frown and my lungs filled up with air. What a feeling. My head began to clear up. It was like a miracle drug. I was so relaxed that I fell asleep later in a sitting position. I never do that. I had been so tense for so long that I had forgotten what being relaxed is like. It was like someone opened the door and let a fresh, sunny spring day into my life. I know… WOW!
Today, I went again and had the same experience. It is good. It is great. it is awesome. I purchased a package that will allow me to go back several more times and feel good again. «The Joint» is just what I need. I am very happy right now. I know that I get to feel good many more times in my future.
Thank you to The Joint. You crack me up

Good idea but this location is not run very well.
3 times in the last month and a half, I’ve driven all the way to this location only to be told, «sorry. There’s no doctor on duty at the moment.» Each time was at approx 11am. WTF?
Then I drove like a crazy person to get there yesterday before 2pm because they go to lunch from 2pm until 2:30. I arrived at 1:54pm and was told doctor is at lunch until 2:30.
If you are going to post hours on your door, then stick to them. Customers have schedules/​lives/​appointments too. Don’t make your hours of operation a moving target.

Finally a business model that makes chiropractic affordable for just about everyone. It looks like the former CEO of Massage Envy applied the same pricing model to chiropractic services.
You can go for a single visit for $ 19 OR sign up for a no-​contract (but auto renewing) membership which gives you 4 visits in a month for $ 59. If you’re willing to commit to a six month contract of membership, the monthly cost goes down to $ 49/​mo.
My first visit was fast, easy, and professional. I filled out some paperwork, watched a short video that explains the principles of chiropractic, and then was ushered into a large open space that contained 3 chiropractic tables.
Dr. Alex Kamsi asked me a few questions and had me demonstrate my range of motion in my neck and back, and then it was right to the table. In my case, I’ve had a ton of chiropractic work over the years, but I haven’t been in to see one in the last 6+ years (have had other holistic treatments). This time around, I knew that my neck was misaligned and needed a quick adjustment. Dr. Kamsi adjusted my neck, torso, pelvis, and my extremities and even helped me stretched my tight hamstrings. He told me that this treatment should help me feel better and have a significant improvement in my range of motion and advised me to ice my neck at bedtime. He said that follow up treatments will help get to deeper levels within the body.
I walked out feeling immediate relief and could turn my neck much further than I had in many months! I signed up for the regular monthly service and hope to receive service for at least 2 – 3 months to ensure that all areas are back in alignment.
I’ve been to a number of traditional chiropractors with different techniques, and generally a much higher price tag, especially if you don’t have chiropractic insurance coverage. I can say that Dr. Kamsi is a hands-​on person (doesn’t rely on gadgets) and is astute at listening and diagnosing the problem quickly. Highly recommend.

Courtney is misinformed and the least bit helpful. I faxed a cancellation form and she called me three times in a row while I was at work. As if calling me once wasn’t good enough. Then she proceeded to refute any reason I had to cancel. Then started arguing about false statements. She was one of the worst receptionist I’ve ever dealt with. Not sure what the minimum requirements are to get a job here but it must not be that much.
I called back to update my cc information and the «Dr» picked up informally without an introduction and WITH AN ATTITUDE TOO! It was so bad that I had to ask «is this the joint?» And I could tell it was him because of his accent.
Apparently, Courtney told the «Dr» what happened and he chose to stoop to her unprofessional level. I figured either the «Dr» is her dad haha. If only he knew just how little she knew!
At this rate, I’m sure they will close down.
