The Joint ...the Chiropractic Place

Dr Sorenson is the bomb!
I have chronic neck pain that comes and goes and after a month of my weekly adjustments I feel great and no more headaches!
Also Belle at the front desk is super sweet! :)

New Joint in San Marcos means new back for me! This location is only a few months old, replacing the former cupcake space across from AT&T. Upon entering you’re warmly greeted by Belle, who swears her bobbed haircut is grey, but I say it’s blonde! When greeted she clearly explains pricing, the necessary paperwork to fill out — it only takes about 10 minutes — and what to expect from the Doctor. I’m not going to reveal the time I went because I expect they are going to get busy real soon and I want to keep my «secret» time slot close! Sorry Unilocalers! But later afternoon is best… see what I did there.
After meeting with Dr. S, he thoroughly read through my initial paperwork, asked me questions about my lifestyle, and explained the purpose of The Joint. Since I had previously done my research, he was glad I understood what The Joint’s mission was. They are for routine, basic care manipulating the spine and sharing their expertise to get ride of those painful back aches. I was pleasantly surprised about the personalization the Doc showed. He was kind and noticed many of my back concerns upon his evaluation. Dr. S, was very knowledgeable, kind, and just a real cool person to talk to.
There are 2 doctors at this location. I saw Dr. S today who is there T-​S, and the 2^nd is there Sun-​M. Many membership packages are available. I’m on a family plan at $ 19 a month with a happily agreed 6 month commitment. So far, I’m a 5 star Unilocaler with The Joint at San Marcos Grand Plaza! As my membership grows, I’ll follow up with any concerns.
For now, Unilocalers, this place is a 5 star. Happy Unilocaling!

It’s been a while since my last adjustment (I wasn’t very happy with the two other locations near me — Escondido & Encinitas), but my back lately has been killing me.
I noticed this new location about a week ago while my husband and I were running errands. I was excited that there was a new location so close to my house, but after less than thrilling experiences at the other locations, I was hesitant to come here.
Today my back and neck discomfort was so bad, I decided that I would give it a try. At the very least I would hopefully get some temporary relief.
The location is very nice (new). I was immediately greeted and checked it. *so far, so good*
And then the scary part… waiting to see who will be cracking your bones lol.
This visit I saw Dr. Sorensen. He was friendly, funny and personable. I forewarned him that my neck is stubborn when it comes to adjustments, but this was not the case with Dr. Sorensen. All his adjustments were a breeze and comfortable. He even did my favorite spine adjustment that I had mention! Before I left, he showed me a stretching exercise to help with my upper back. It’s nice to meet Drs that care and go above just their basic duties.
I’m so happy I decided to check this location out! I will definitely be coming back in the near future for another adjustment. If you need an adjustment come check out this new location in the Las Posas shopping center!

I am really bad with names, I wanted to review each Doctor but honestly both doctors I have seen here were great! One was slightly better than the other, but they both listened to my needs and got the «dowagers hump» to move as well as my hips. Both difficult.
If you are a first timer at the Joint, let me give you a few tips:
1. If you have a brand new injury and need therapy, x-​rays, etc. then don’t go here. Go see Dr. Joe Hernandez in San Marcos. He is excellent, and when I was first injured I saw him solely for years.
2. If you have been seeing a chiropractor for years, or only go in to get your maintenance quickies, than this is the place!
3. The joint is a corporate owned franchise and they have locations everywhere. I pay $ 59/​month and receive 4 visits free. If I need an extra, it is only $ 16.
4. They always have first time specials and different membership options.
5. Be specific about your needs. They put it in the computer and no matter who you see, they all do the same routine. In and out in 5 minutes. Perfect for professionals or mom’s on the go.
6. There are no appointments. Walk-​ins only and first come first serve. Some locations get busy at lunchtime, so always ask how long they expect the wait to be.
7. This is the drive thru of chiropractic care. If you want massage, therapy tables, and special balms, look for someone like Dr. Joe Hernandez in San Marcos.

This location is AWESOME! Today was my first time at this location and I couldn’t be happier (they’ve only been open a little over a week). Dr. Ross was great and Belle at the front desk was just delightful and VERY helpful! I will be back!
