My first-ever chiropractic experience and I'm honestly blown away. I came in to see Dr. Sebastian on a Saturday in severe back pain to the point where I couldn't breathe deeply, tie my shoes, or move comfortably. Day by day my mobility was getting worse, and as a dentist, it had started to seriously affect my ability to work and my outlook on the future. If you work long hours during the week, having a provider open on Saturdays is everything--Dr. Sebastian's weekend availability is what made real relief possible for me when I had no other options. From the start, Dr. Sebastian was insightful, professional, and incredibly thorough. He's also a funny guy which helps during times like these. He took the time to understand what was going on and genuinely went the extra mile when I needed help the most. The biggest shock? I felt immediate relief. I walked out feeling like a completely different, renewed person--something I honestly didn't think was possible after how bad things had gotten. If you're in pain, feeling stuck, or losing hope, this is the kind of care that reminds you how powerful the right provider can be. Deeply grateful for this experience. Thank you Dr. Sebastian! read more

Was blessed to find a wonderful clinic with a fabulous staff and most importantly, Dr. Sebastian. I came with terrible foot neuropathy- numbess and sharp electric type pain shooting in my foot- especially when trying to sleep. I was happy to join the program offered which offers alot of physical therapy, and most important the Class 4 Laser treatment. I have had this pain for years, and just could not take it anymore...so, I am so happy to say after a few months of treatment, my numbness and especially the horrible sharp stabbing pain is now effectively eased I would say 95%! Really so greatful to find such a compassionate, professional office to treat my neuropathy. You are in such good hands with the team driven and caring staff...I am well taken care of and cannot support and encourage you enough to seek Dr. Sebastian's treatment and care today!! read more

I have a complicated case, two spinal fusions, multiple levels. I found Dr. Sebastian to be a transparent, thorough and skilled chiropractor who utilizes many different machines to improve spinal stenosis. Dr. Sebastian takes multiple X rays of your problem area and interviews each client on their medical history and prior treatment . After the medical intake, the next treatment day, you are guided to a treatment room which includes a water massage bed and other decompression machines. Then, his darling assistant, Dianna, gives you a choice of a V-bro or stim machine. Dianna is very observant and notices how you walk into the treatment room to isolate your problem. She is always quick with a smile and a laugh. She also asks about any issues that bother you, whether the treatment is making things better, the same and worse and pain scale. The other staff that I know well, Dana and Karina, also are so friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. I found this wellness center such a positive experience, where even my doctor has noticed that after recovering from these 2 spinal surgeries after quite a few years, the inflammation is improving from my treatment with Dr. Sebastian. I highly recommend this practice! read more

My family members and I have been patients at Leucadia Chiropractic for many years. Dr. SeBastian, along with his staff, is Excellent.

Purchased a groupon to get a massage (nothing to do with the chiro portion of this business). Went in person to make my appointment. several days later was called and told my appt was being rescheduled as the massuese was sick. with as many as they seem to have, did not understand why I wasn't given a new/different massage therapist vs changing my appt. first stop in a bad experience here. was rescheduled for days later not same day, another bad part. When I made the appt in person I didnt have the Groupon so they asked I call with the info. when they called to reschedule my appt. I gave the info for the groupon. the person read it back to me verifying the information. When I arrived to the appt early to fill out paperwork, no one asked anything about groupon so of course assumed all was fine and they had all info they needed. Now for the massage. young man, first room next to equipment where you can hear everything going on in front office so sound quality poor. the massage started out different with more super light touch Reiki style and breathe work, ok great, now get the massage started. Worst Strangest massage I've ever had an I have had 100s and 100s!! No massage of any real kind. Reiki style touching just above your skin vs hard deep tissue as the ad indicated and which I purchased. Breathing, lightly rubbing. Holding your head in his hands while doing nothing Literally nothing. holding zero gravity and slight pull on your vertebrea I understand, and a few seconds of that can feel good but he did it over 5 min!! some work on back and legs but mainly just doing this weird soft touching and holding feet and hands for zero gravity and breathe work! it was like a massage you might have before an accupuncture does their work. a courtesy massage when having PT or some sort of work like accupuncture. this was NOT a massage and certainly not Deep Tissue. Perhaps it is what you might experience AFTER you went to the chiro and have him give you an adjustment and then you had this massage before/after treatment. but do not purchase thinking you are getting a real 1 hr massage. total waste of money. and if that isn't bad enough: NOW the real reason for zero star review. as I left the terrible massage and upset about it, the person at the desk starts asking me for the groupon info (which I had not brought since I gave all info on the phone) and nothing was said to me the 15 min before my massage. then when I can't find it on my phone, we are interrupted by the doctor talking with a new patient and telling the same girl to help this other patient and she starts upselling her into a full package for her next visit, totally ignoring me! then goes back to me saying she needs the groupon #. I explain I gave it to the previous person who called me to reschedule the week before and they have my info, she keeps saying I don't have it. I explain I will have to go home to get on my computer and get the info and call her back and she won't let me leave without the info!! keeps asking, I keep saying I don't have it, I need to go home to get my computer (somehow not on my phone) and then she interrupts me again to answer the phone! I say I will call you when I get home and start to leave and she says no no you can't leave!!! Bizarre. I leave get in my car and she chases me outside to my car saying please stop come back inside!!! comes into the parking lot like I had stolen something. A total admin FIASCO from them rescheduling days after my original massage. not asking me for the info BEFORE my massage and then they don't have the info because of their lack of admin abilities and then chasing me down after what small amount of pleasure and stress relief of the terrible massage to totally upset me post massage. DO NOT GO HERE FOR MASSAGES read more

My 87 year old mother had terrible pain in her neck but she was really afraid to go to a chiropractor. Everyone in the office did a wonderful job making her feel safe and at ease. The Dr. was able to reduce the pain and increase movement in her neck in just one appointment and without cracking of any bones. I am so appreciative of everyone in the office. Thank you for great attentive care! read more

Dr. Scott is wonderful, and so is his staff! Dr. Scott helped and continues to help the pain in my back and neck from mild scoliosis and sciatica. The first step was a thorough exam with x-rays. Then a consultation with a personal program set up according to what issues you are having and how severe. Each visit includes a roller machine table that relaxes and massages your back. Then either a stimulator tool that sends electrical pulses to the sore part of your back or a hand held massage roller that gets rolled over your sore muscles. A warm heated blanket is put on your back while relaxing on the massage table until Dr. Scott comes in to adjust you. The whole experience is very relaxing and helpful! Thank you so much for helping me walk straighter and get relief from pain not only in my back, but my neck, knee, tendon and wrist when I need it! read more

I purchased a Groupon for a massage because I am looking for a masseuse and a chiropractor closer to home because I drive all the way to Kearney Mesa for my chiropractic needs. The massage was excellent and I would have bought a package of it had not been for the chiropractor Dr Scott. Before my message they had him come in, he immediately insulted me for wearing a mask telling me "they don't do anything" and implying it was silly for me to wear it. He then "diagnosed" me just by looking at me and did not ask me a single question. He was completely wrong about his "diagnosis". He said I obviously have shoulder pain by the way I was sitting. I actually have a herniated disk and several bulging disks in my low back but since he didn't ask me any questions about whether I had pain, issues or if I was seeing a chiropractor he wouldn't know. I felt like I was at a timeshare sales pitch. He spent the entire time talking about what a wonderful chiropractor, how I needed to "up my expectations of the massage because it's going to be better then anticipated" and how much his patients love him. Well, I'm not a patient of his and never will be because of the way he treated me and how he didn't seem to care about my issues enough to even ask me why I was there. Terrible "bedside manner" Unfortunately what the doctor doesn't know is I am VERY familiar with chiropractic, my daughters father is a chiropractor and I was with him during his time at chiropractic college and 13 years after. I am familiar with many different modalities and have been adjusted by many of his friends and co-workers. I know good chiropractic and that's why I drive to Kearney Mesa. A good chiropractor asks about your pain and issues before deciding what you are there for, period. No one diagnoses you before checking you out and asking questions. Dr Scott may have been practicing forever, may actually be a good chiropractor (I wouldn't know, he didn't adjust me but I saw him using a chiropractic tool that some use instead of a manual adjustment that I find extremely ineffective) but the way he spoke to me was not professional or the type of communication I would expect from a chiropractor who has practices for so many years. Dr Scott lost his wonderful massage therapist a good client with his condescending speech and lack of concern for the patient. read more

Dr. Scott and his team are wonderful and amazing. His staff got me right in to take care of my sciatic pain. Which was taken care of after a couple of adjustments. The whole team is friendly and very helpful. I've been going to this office for several years and love the positivity they all have along with the effective treatments. read more

I am a 78 year old healthy active woman. When I hurt my back recently I felt unhealthy and "old". I found Leucadia Chiropractic online. It is a Wellness Clinic focusing on holistic chiropractic care to relieve pain so you feel your best! The staff is very friendly and supportive. Dr. Sebastian diagnosed my injury, confirmed it with X-ray and consulted with me about my treatment plan. He is highly qualified, knowledgeable and dedicated to relieving pain! He has realigned my posture, neck and spine so that they function together optimally. I now feel 78 years healthy and "young " again! Thank you Dr. Sebastian! read more

Dr. Sebastian is one of the best chiropractors I've ever been to in my life. And I've been to a lot of chiropractors! My own Father is a chiropractor and taught me a lot about the field. I came in today with incapacitated lower back pain. It was affecting me greatly and preventing me from my usual activities. I've recently seen a different chiropractor because of insurance, and it paled in comparison to the relief I experienced from today's adjustment after not being in for over a month. Dr. Scott Sebastian is truly a pioneer of the field. Donna, the office manager and their staff along with Dr. Sebastian TRULY CARE about your health and well-being. This is very hard to find in the Chiropractic sector to the extent of care that they provide. Dr Sebastian will address every single pain area you have, and you will walk out feeling taller, relieved, and pain free. This caring team is committed to your recovery and health and they go to far lengths to help you achieve that. I am extremely grateful for all the care and attention that I have received from Donna and Dr. Sebastian over the past 3 years. If you found this clinic, you are very lucky and have come to the right place for healing. THANK YOU LEUCADIA CHIROPRACTIC!!!! G-D Bless You ALL and your caring team and families!!!!! read more

Leucadia Chiropractic Wellness Clinic - Leucadia Chiropractic CARES about YOU, your health and well-being. Thank You Leucadia Chiropractic!!! - Chiropractors Near Me - Encinitas, California

I am finally writing a belated review! Over the years, I have seen many health care professionals to address my neck and back issues, and I was always skeptical of chiropractic treatment. During the pandemic, and a bit out of desperation, I started looking for alternatives to address my issues. Fortunately, I found Leucadia Chiropractic (specifically, Dr. Sebastian), and I have been a regular client since for over two years. From the start, the detailed diagnosis and prescribed treatment made me feel immediately comfortable because x-rays were used to visually understand my problems. Dr. Sebastian answered all my questions and was honest that for my issues, there wasn't a quick-fix and that a long-term treatment program would provide the best results. I'm happy to say that I feel great. Seeing him each week keeps me healthy and I'm able to recover quickly if I have any issues. I look forward to each treatment because I feel stronger each time. Dr. Sebastian has helped me to build a strong base, allowing me to play tennis and other activities without pain. He listens, is caring, and knowledgeable. Prior to any appointment, Dr. Sebastian makes use of quality equipment, whether the traction table or the hydro massage. He also uses many modalities in treatments, including heat, laser therapy, and active release. The team at Leucadia Chiropractic are the best. From the moment that you walk in the door, you are welcomed with a happy greeting. The staff are helpful, courteous, and efficient, and immediately make you feel calm and comfortable. Their office manager, Karina, is the ultimate professional...the best! I feel fortunate to have found Dr. Sebastian and Leucadia Chiropractic. I know that Dr. Sebastian and his team are motivated to help me to achieve a high level of wellness, and I know this has provided me a better quality of life. read more

I have been going to Dr. Sebastien for as long as I can remember, almost 13 years. He is amazing! I go in monthly for maintenance. You don't wait long in the waiting room. I have never had a problem Getting in that day if I need to. The staff along with Dr. S is always kind and full of smiles. He even came in for an emergency visit when I could hardly walk. I recommend him to all my friends and family. read more

Got a fantastic deal on Living Social for a massage a while ago and they were nice enough to honor it since Covid. I wasn't sure what to expect because it was not just a massage place but it was awesome. I was the last appointment, had a nice young man, I wish I could remember his name but it was the most relaxing massage I've ever had. I hate Swedish, tickling, I have a lot of sport injuries, so he was a great balance between working the Fascia and not hurting me which I am used to deep tissue and like, but not relaxing and deeper than rubbing my skin. It was wonderful. I plan to call and try to book another one soon. read more

Dr S adjusted me once after a rollover accident and I am already feeling better! God Bless Him!!!

they were super helpful and so friendly!! I almost passed out, and the nurses as well as the doctor was so helpful! they all made sure that I was safe and doing well before I left . I really felt like I was in good hands. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that needs chiropractic care. read more

Nolan gave me such a relaxing and awesome massage today -- thank you, Nolan! Leucadia Chiropractic has several excellent massage therapists, all of whom I highly recommend. The front office staff is very kind and helpful. I can't recommend them enough! read more

Bad experience all the way around, I even contacted my previous chiropractor to confirm some of my suspicions (which I now see in some of these other reviews as well). Seems unethical that someone people come to for pain relief would do less than everything he could to try and help. My neck locked up after my move and was in need of an adjustment not uncommon to many others I have had in the past which almost always provide instant relief. Red Flag 1: Pre adjustment exam that wasnt covered by my insurance. I actually bit on this one as I figured it was the cost of doing business and moving to another city required finding someone good (not to mention I was desperate and in pain). This was a dog and pony show to say the least. Unnecessary, staged dialog between the Dr and his assistant with a lot of "oh wow's" and "interesting" which was almost laughable. I went through the motions just waiting for it to be over so I could get my adjustment. Red Flag 2: Pushed me HARD for Xrays. Was upfront that insurance wouldn't cover it (I wonder why) and I have been to many previous chiropractors in my life who had never asked for them. He stated if he didnt have them he would be "flying blind" and how he normally charges $69 but was having a "new patient special" that day so it would only be $49 for me. I pushed back on this one as being unnecessary to which he gave me several rebuttals, at one point even saying it would be hard for him to do his job if he didn't have them. I declined again and he said "OK, I guess you know your body better than I do LOL". Red Flag 3: Half ass adjustment. I have been to several great chiropractors in my life (see my review of arbor vitae wellness center in LA) so I know what a proper adjustment should be. Dr Ford knew I needed my neck adjusted and deliberately tried not to adjust it during the procedure stating that the lower lumbar and other areas he previously adjusted "should do the trick." I asked for it to be done and he pushed back stating I didn't need it, I was persistent so he finally did what could only be described as a mediocre attempt on one side ONLY (which i later found out was a ploy so I would have to come back). I dont know why I didnt push harder but he said to come see him in 2 days if I didnt feel better. Stupid me I did. Red Flag 4: Tried same tricks a second time. I returned for my second visit to which i was again told I needed Xrays. When I said no he even laughed and said "if this is how its gonna be we are gonna have a hard time working together". I placated him and said lets just adjust and if things dont get better we can do it next time (knowing I would never be coming back). He AGAIN only tried to adjust one side of my neck...from here I was adamant I needed the other side done as well. Again with the dog and pony show. Magically, even though every other part of the adjustment was swift and forceful, this one needed to be taken carefully because....wait for it....there was no Xrays to see so he didnt want to damage anything. Finally got to it and was met with instant relief which seemed almost annoying to him. When he took me to the receptionist he stated to her "hes a maybe be-back so make sure we have his number" and walked away without even a thank you or have a nice day. Called my previous chiropractor and he confirmed all of my suspicions, he stated the Xrays and half adjustment were very old school and meant to maximize dollars and visits. Super disappointing and, frankly, unethical for a Dr. to use these type of tactics on people. Go to the Joint in La Costa, no appointment needed and they are great (they actually adjust your whole body). read more

Not just an adjustment, you get to take advantage of the massage roller table and the assistant gives you a mini massage with the massage gun before the adjustment. Dr. Is very personable and listens to your concerns. Good massage therapists there, too. read more
