The Joint ...the Chiropractic Place

My husband & I started going to the Lake Forest facility initially. We met Dr. Manuel there & followed him to San Clemente. He is wonderful, caring & is truly gifted!

Great price, and service was fast. I went in for lower back pain I’ve never been to a chiropractor before Dr. didn’t adjustment in 10 minutes next day I felt fine. $ 29 for first time vist then $ 39 every vist after; unless you buy a package deal.

I felt 100 times better than I did when I walked in. Very affordable and clean environment. Dr. Manuel is very gentle and gets adjustment done.

Great place to go and get & keep your body adjusted and in-​tune. Their monthly maintenance program is awesome! I come 1 – 2 times a week to keep my body feeling good. At $ 12 an adjustment it is very affordable. The doctor an staff are very friendly and professional as well.

This was my first time to The Joint in San Clemente. I only paid for one visit as it’s been my experience in the past that most chiropractors can’t get me adjusted for one reason or another. Chelsea was there to greet me and made me feel very welcome. She wasn’t pushy trying to sign me up for a pre paid montly plan. She understood where I was coming from and agreed. How nice was that… Anyway, I saw Dr. Manuel who first did a quick survey since he’d never seen me before. Let’s just say the adjustment I received today from him was probably one of the BEST I’ve had in 40 years. His knowledge, skill, professionalism really stood out. Dr. Manuel was very informative too regarding how to stay healthy by doing specific stretches throughout the day. Dr. Manuel obviously truly cares about his clients. The highest Kudos to Dr. Manuel. After the adjustment, I signed up for the monthly plan. No regrets. Here’s to better health and straighter spines.

Dr. Manuel knows his stuff. I’ve had issues with my low back, right knee, left shoulder, neck and hands. Regular weekly adjustments keep me almost completely pain free and moving more freely. I have nerve damage which inhibits strength and speed during my workouts, but I notice a positive difference in my sprints and squats the day after an adjustment. He can even tell which internal organs are stressed out and recommend natural supplements to support your system. I highly recommend this location and doctor.

I don’t hold exceedingly high expectations for most businesses and that held true for The Joint. Well, even without absurd expectations The Joint completely failed to satisfy any of mine. I went in after suffering back pain from strenuous work and a small fall. The reception was nice and the treatment (even though it was no longer than 5 minutes) seemed to have a small affect on my pain. Well, I got suckered in to their ridiculous «plans.» I almost never used the membership due to a busy schedule and then I found out I would be leaving for a few months on military orders. I called to cancel and receieved a whole spiel on how contracts work. The lady was absolutely caulous and couldn’t care less about helping me. We finally agreed on postponing the payments. Well, it’s that time again, I’ve been paying for months for a service I do not use. I then received an 80 bill from them, so I called to find out why. Natalie, who sent the invoice, picked up the phone. Again I was treated with horrible customer service. She read the rude comments that her previous co-​worker wrote, stating that «I could not afford their payments,» and would not stop talking so that I could get a sentence out. This company is nothing more than a greedy money making machine and obviously does not take time out to train their employees on proper customer service.

Very positive experience. Office is modern and pleasant. Dr. Manuel took plenty of time to get to know me and was super gentle. I will return next week for a few more adjustments. Would not hesitate to refer others.

Dr. Manuel Paniagua is passionate about helping people, and is by far the BEST chiropractor I have ever been to. Each doctor has their own unique way of treating their patients, however, Dr. Manuel is like the «Chiropractic Whisperer». He locates areas where you didn’t even realize needed to be adjusted. He gave me great advice for other natural supplements that promote ligament health, not just joint. I used to have to ice my neck and back daily, and since I have been going to Dr. Manuel, I have gotten so much relief I don’t have to use ice anymore. Thank you Dr. Manuel for your professionalism and for having the magic touch to helping relieve pain. Natalie and Jen are awesome too. :) I highly recommend going to the joint on Tues/​Wed/​Thurs when Dr. Manuel is there.

I love the Joint Chiropractic place in San Clemente. It’s so easy to check in, and you can usually go straight into your visit. And Dr. Steven Cocks is my favorite Chiropractor there! He knows exactly what he’s doing and always makes you feel safe and comfortable in his care. If it’s your first time getting an adjustment, I recommend seeing Dr. Cocks.
I bought the 6 month deal and I really like it! The staff at The Joint are SO NICE and always have a nice conversation with you when you come in. They are helpful and kind with any questions you have as well!
I always look forward to my weekly adjustment at The Joint!

This is my favorite chiropractic office of all time. Trust me I’ve been to a few. Dr. Manuel is AWESOME! He and Dr. Mitchell keep me at my best. They really care about your overall well being. Not just your back. Easy to talk to also.
Natalie & Jen are the best at making you feel welcome. It is like visiting friends and family.
Glad they are here in our community

Love this place! I have been going here for 2 months and only pay 45 bucks a month for 4 visits. That’s once a week. In the 2 months I notice a difference for sure. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good adjustment!

I normally visit the Lake Forest location, but one great thing about The Joint is that you can visit ANY of their locations nationwide with your swipe card. I happened to be in SC and was in dire pain so decided to stop in.
One person was being adjusted when I arrived and one person arrived while I was waiting, so they are doing a good business.
I was adjusted by Dr. Steven Cocks. I appreciate his conversational manner and eagerness to get me feeling better. (I ran a half marathon a few days prior and had been feeling unpleasant.) Appreciate the time he took and was pleased.
I love the concept of The Joint. $ 29 /​visit or you can sign up for the wellness plans starting at $ 59 (I think).

I’ve never been into chiropractors. I’ve always thought they were quacks, to be honest. But I’ve been having nagging aches so I thought I’d give it a try. It’s hard to say no to a $ 19 intro offer.
Dr. Manuel was professional and gentle. I was alarmed by the popping coming from my neck, but it felt good after, so whatever. I’m not sure if everything he told me was medically accurate (ie, he said one of my legs is shorter than the other), but I did feel lighter and looser when he was done doing his thing.
I ended up signing up for a 5-​session package just so I can see if this actually helps. I’m a runner and Dr. Manuel said that having adjustments on a regular basis should help some of my nagging aches from running. We shall see… I will update this review if I come to the conclusion that chiropractic work is BS.
Oh, and I thought the work would be done in private rooms, like when you get a massage, but that’s not the case here. There are 3 tables all in one room. I was the only person there at the time, but it’s possible you could be in there with other people, listening to each other’s creaks and cracks. I suppose that could be a little odd. You’re totally clothed though (another thing I didn’t know), so that’s good.

I LOOOOVE THIS PLACE. This is the best kept secret in town. I feel so blessed to have been fortunate enough to have found this and have signed up to be a member and my child as well. I cannot tell you how much of a difference my first visit was already. I have had chronic headaches for the past 7 years, and after my first adjustment the headaches are gone. I cannot believe it. I am in heaven. I would recommend this place to ANYONE and who doesnt need it, right? we may not even know how much we need it. so do yourselves a favor and GO!!! the team is awesome, so much fun to be there, clean comfortable, professional, fun and so much more… THANK YOU THE JOINT SAN CLEMENTE for improving my life the way you do… Laura

I love The Joint! It’s a membership based program for $ 49/​mo and includes 4 adjustments. Each additional adjustment is $ 12. This is so much better than dealing w/​insurance. They are open 7 days and open to 7pm during the week. It’s never been easier to see a chiropractor. Office is clean and staff are friendly.

The joint is really good for people that need regular adjustments and dont want to pay a fortune through insurance. I love my adjustments, they keep me feeling good and everyone is friendly. I docked 1 star because when I joined, at no point did the worker tell me that if you dont use all of your monthly adjustments, you lose them and they dont carry over into the next month. If I would have known that I’d probably wouldnt join because everyone including myself have jobs and get busy or sick or whatever the cause may be and you can’t always get in. To not be able to have them as my credit still in the new month is really a bad business tactic. Needless to say, the front associates need to make that known to people before people decide to join.
******REVISED**** At the time of signing up I was told after 6 months I would be done and there will be a horrible BBB rating due to their staff member LYING to me about being not discontinued after 6 months I am super frustrated. If I don’t hear from the corporation I am reporting this company to BBB

I have been receiving chiropractic care since I was 12 and I am thoroughly impressed with The Joint and their doctors. With the recent health care disaster in CA I would not be able to afford to get adjusted if it weren’t for them. It’s such a relief because it really makes a difference in my daily life and overall health.

I have been a client here for the past 30 days. I have had really great experiences so far. I really like the $ 49 monthly fee that gives me (4) adjustments and then anything beyond the (4) are only $ 12 each. I was paying $ 50 per visit at my previous provider. This is much more affordable and makes it easier for me to go more frequently which is what I need right now. There business hours are really good and no appointments are required. I had a major lower back issue 4 weeks ago and they have gotten me back on track.
I also like that I have a key fob that I scan when I arrive and they instantly have access to my account information.

Dr Mitch Mitchel is wonderful. He knows what he’s doing I felt great when I left. I highly recommend him. The front office lady is very nice and helpful. Thank you

The doctors at The Joint in Sam Clemente are amazing! They are quick, easy and affordable! The premium wellness plan is the best way to go for regular chiropractic care!
