I was there when Pisenti Chiropractic opened in 2007. It started as a family business with a massage therapist and an aspiring, enthusiastic Chiropractor. It has since become a reputable, professional environment that now serves as a model of exceptional care on the journey toward healing. Dr Pisenti is skilled. He is experienced. He has great listening skills. He is quite friendly! He is trained in Active Release Technique, which is a soft tissue intervention. It doesn't feel amazing when it's happening, but it definitely helps. The main Office Manager Sarah is so lovely and incredibly polite! She always makes me feel welcome when I walk through the door. The facility is modern and comfortable. Everything is clean and inviting for visitors. Plenty of dedicated parking in the lot behind the building. There is street parking available, too. I haven't met the other providers but can't say enough about Dr Pisenti. He is a genuine, warm and capable provider... and I always feel better after I spend time in his presence. Highly recommended! read more

See all

They truly care!! My whole family uses their services. My son is a pitcher and keeps his arm in top shape with Patrick and we also see Austin for all our needs. Couldn't recommend more! read more

Pat is amazing- he fixed an old injury I thought I'd be living with forever. The first appointment is pricey but he does a long thorough assessment and then follow-ups are more affordable. Very worth it, just go. read more

I have had ART many times in the past. The chiropractor that I was seeing moved so I tried Dr Pisenti. The first session went well. I went back two weeks later so he could work on the other side. I told told him I wasn't properly supported but he insisted he was holding me. Then he dropped my leg behind me. I again said I needed some support and he told me I needed to get some exercise. The muscles in my leg an pelvis were badly strained. Six weeks later the pain is still horrible in spite of multiple medications and being on crutches. His response when I talked with him was "sometimes these things happen". I know from experience that these things don't happen when done right. read more

When I was 20 I was hit by a car while riding my bike. I sustained a broken pelvis and damage to my lower back. Even though I kept moving, mainly through bike riding, I've been in some form of daily pain ever since. About 4 years ago I had to add chiropractic care and massage to my routine. I thought that would be enough to keep me upright. Turns out I was wrong. A little over a year ago my back went out so bad I could hardly move for two days. I was slowly getting back to working out when my personal trainer recommended I go see Dr. Pisenti. He told me about his use of Active Release Technique (A.R.T.) and assured me if Pat didn't think he could help me, he'd tell me. At that point, I had nothing to lose. I saw him for the first time in February 2013. Pat had a lot to work against...almost 30 years of damage. But he was always positive and very caring. He wanted to get me back on the bike and active again. He understood that was very important to me. A.R.T. is not exactly a painless process, but after a couple months of treatment I started feeling better. He also met with me and my trainer, so they could work together to keep me on track. Fast forward a year and I'm finally to the point where I only need to see him once a month for maintenance. A.R.T. in combination with a fitness plan has got me feeling better than I have in a long time and for that I am truly thankful. Pat, you're the best! read more

A bit over a year ago I had a pretty bad fall while trail running in Annadel. I sprained and damaged my ankle really bad. I went to the doctor and physical therapy. Neither really helped much. I just kept icing taking ibuprofen and waiting. It started to get well enough in the past few months to start running and doing yoga again. It still hurt and had a pretty large bump and crevice that was still bruised and discolored. I knew I should have seen Dr. Pisenti, but I thought it was never going to get better than it was. I finally made and appt and three weeks into treatment, it feels great. The bump on my ankle is visibly smaller and the crevice is not as deep. I wish I visited him much earlier. It would have saved me time and I would have been up and running much sooner. Thanks Dr. Pisenti. read more

Pat Pisenti has made significant and lasting change to manage and eliminate pain from chronic injuries I have had with my neck and back. He is knowledgable, friendly, and has the ability to quickly assess the issue and creatively treat it. Pat goes above and beyond with his patients and models the healthy and active lifestyle he helps us achieve. As a former collegiate athlete and a current collegiate coach I give Pat and Pisenti Chiropractic my highest recommendation. He WILL help you! read more

Best massage by Sarah awesome prices And relaxing setting. Looking forward to my next one! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Pisenti for several years because he's just that great. I have several auto- immune issues and physical injuries to my spine. Dr. Pisenti rarely does any traditional spine manipulation on me but rather uses A.R.T., a way more advanced and productive way of supporting the muscles and fascia so they are actually able to heal instead. He is awesome! read more

I was in a severe accident 9 months ago, injuring my cervical spine and head. Since that time I have had daily, debilitating headaches and neck pain. I had given up hope of ever being pain free, or being able to function normally again. After being referred to and treated by Dr. Pisenti my whole body has turned around. My neck is now pain free with full range of motion again. I rarely have headaches. I can run - and run and chase my kids again! Dr. Pisenti is always timely, professional, and works you into his schedule when you really need him. Truly the best chiropractor to have work with you. I cannot thank him enough for what he has done for me and my family. read more

This guy screwed me over hard, and at the time i was young and dumb enough to not ask questions. I went to him because I read in his bio that he practiced active release therapy. Heard this was good for tendinitis which i believed i had in my wrists. I had two sessions each costing 100$ or more. (Sorry cant remember exact amount, this was years ago) He probably spent about 8-15min per sesh.. Literally. I can remember him taking each one of my hands at one point and stretching them far back, then saying "ok lets see how they feel" and that was it. I was done. Just crazy. Not to mention a 140$ consultation which i highly doubt was even 30mins. Shame on me for not realizing i was being taken advantage of. Which sucks cause i was young, only made min wage, and depressed with chonic pain. Thanks man. read more

He's really good. He's way too expensive for me since I have insurance he doesn't take. I wish I could afford him. I saw him several times out of pocket because he came so highly recommended. I saw him for my foot. The recommendation was right. His sister, the receptionist is so kind. I know he would be my go-to PT if I were wealthy. . I appreciate him but can't afford him.But he's Really good. read more

I first discovered Active Release Therapy (ART) while living in San Fransisco. I was happy to find someone who practiced ART in Santa Rosa. Turns out, Dr Pisenti is awesome at it too! I highly recommend him for your ART needs. He will fix you read more

I started having a tingling sensation in my left hand which started to scare me a bit. I've been to several chiropractors and all they did was crack my neck and back- pretty much the same treatment they gave everyone. I went to Dr Pisenti on a recommendation and he has a completely different approach than most chiropractors. He focuses on releasing soft tissue that is impinging on nerves. After several sessions, the tingling has subsided. I highly recommend Dr Pisenti! read more

Dr Pisenti is great. I have had chronic groin challenges for many years due to a leg length discrepancy. I have been training for an Ironman and he has been able to completely contain this issue during my training by focusing on the root of the problem - my hip. Highly recommend for endurance athletes. read more

Dr Pisenti (Pat) is an extraordinary healer! His ART technique has helped me heal from injury as well as enhance my overall health. He is truly amazing. Two friends of mine recommended him and they don't even know each other! I'm grateful for his care and the excellent experience when visiting his office. The family members on the office staff are also wonderful. Please consider Dr. Pisenti to achieve optimal health! His techniques and combined approaches are brilliant! read more

Pisenti Chiropractic - Chiropractors Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

In 2007, I injured myself while dirt biking with my sons. Kaiser could not find anything wrong but scheduled me for a hip replacement. I was blessed to go to Dr. Patrick Pisenti and his conclusion was ruptured artery in my hip. He worked with me and I'm standing tall again today. As an insurance professional, I refer all my clients to him when they are involved in accidents and/or have muscle problems. His knowledge about the spine, muscles, body excels coupled with his compassion to see you get recovered is wonderful. Everyone that I have referred has let me know that he has made them feel better! Totally a win win to better health and healing!!! read more

I've been seeing Pat regularly since shortly after I turned 30 in 2008 to get Active Release Technique (ART) for scar tissue and injuries that I'd accumulated over years from baseball and weight lifting in addition to various imbalances built up over the years from working on a computer so much. The ART definitely works, in addition to less pain/discomfort I've noticed certain yoga poses involving my arms/upper torso are easier to get into and I can even move a bit more weight in lunge and squat movements. My only regret is that I wish I had started getting ART sooner and more frequently. . read more

Busy place! My fiancé has seen both Dr's and recommends either one. I love the choices you have for a chiropractor or a massage they have options. Easy to find and parking is available. Friendly staff and convenient hours. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Pat Pisenti for six years now. I first sought out his practice after learning about A.R.T. and its potential to improve migraines. As someone who suffers from chronic migraines, I'd tried just about every "solution" there is. Not only is Dr. Pisenti incredibly good at what he does, he is one of the most dedicated, caring, generous, thoughtful and genuine practitioners I've ever met. He has had a tremendously positive impact on my migraines, and has gone out of his way to help me more times than I can count. I am lucky today to call him a friend, as well as my chiropractor. 100% recommend. read more

I was in an accident that caused me a great deal of pain in my back and shoulders. I was seen by many doctors and never felt the ease that I felt with Dr. Pat. He uses a technique called Active Release and he managed to free up my frozen shoulders. Very flexible, kind, and helpful person. Definitely knows his stuff! read more

This review is long overdue. I saw Dr. Pisenti about a year ago after going to one of his workshops at Fleet Feet for using the foam roller the right way. I had connective tissue issues that were getting worse by the day. He evaluated my health and strongly encouraged me to revisit the idea of Celiac disease. Because of him, I got my courage back to ask for a DNA test from my GI doctor. I had been at this point diagnosed with pancreatic insufficiency. Sure enough Dr. Pisenti was right. The Celiac was the root of the problem causing my tissue damage and many others things. Here's the amazing thing...Dr. Pistenti was more interested in me getting help for the underlying problem than having me paying for repeated ART sessions. Said another way, first and formost, he is focused on getting his patients healthy and on with enjoying life more than his practice making money off of repeated visits to his office. I am grateful! read more

I admit that although I would LOVE to find a doctor that will give me a miracle cure for my ailments, I am very skeptical about new doctors and different techniques. Here is my story: I was diagnosed with patella-femoral syndrome on both my knees about 15 years ago. I injured them by hiking too fast down a very steep hill for about 2 hours. The treatment back then was physical therapy, strength/resistance training and ice. The treatment for my knees did not solve the knee pain, however I had been able to manage the pain by not pushing myself too hard with my outdoor activities. I have continued to be a fairly active hiker, cross-country skier, mountain bike rider and dirt-bike rider, however I have encountered knee pain many times during my activities and have had to stop for awhile to recoup. This winter I decided to join Team in Training (through Leukemia and Lymphoma Society) to train for running a 1/2 marathon in June. I had naively thought that if I took my training very slow, my knees would adjust to the more strenuous exercise. Unfortunately, my old knee pain started acting up right away - and fairly significantly. I had run my second long distance run (1 hour) two weeks ago and I could barely walk the next day. Not wanting to give up, I started asking the other marathon runners if they had any suggestions for my knee pain. Several folks recommended Dr. Pisenti and said that he had been able to cure them of their hip, knee, shin, and ankle problems through his ART technique. Maybe there was hope for me too! I saw Dr. Pisenti the following Friday for the first visit and he treated my knees and taped them. I ran the next day for an hour and my knees had already improved by about 90%! I would never had believed it, but I ran again on Sunday with virtually no pain. And that is only after one session! I saw him again on Monday and ran on Wednesday and Thursday and now they are feeling almost 100%. I can't believe I've had this pain in my life for 15 years and after only two sessions, I am doing so much better. I'm hoping to be completely cured of the pain and Dr. Pisenti is confident that I should be 100% within several more treatments. Even if I stayed at 95% I will be so happy. I know I can participate in the marathon now and who knows - maybe I'll even try for the full marathon instead of only the half! I strongly recommend Dr. Pisenti for knee problems - I have been incredibly happy with the results and have been telling everyone I know about this! read more

I had gone to 7 doctors over a one year period before I saw Patrick. None of them gave me a proper diagnosis thus,none of them treated me correctly for my problem. One doctor never looked at my leg or watched me walk. Rather he charged me $170 to tell me I would probably never heal or ride my horse again. Then I found Patrick. He systematically ruled out possible sources of my problems. After many intelligent theories were explored with no results, he suggested an MRI. I had already had x-rays with healthy outcomes. Finally I discovered tendinosis and bursitis. He recommended I see a physical therapist and a podiatrist. I found an excellent PT who is now working in conjunction with Patrick's ART method. Between the two of them, I am finally beginning to heal. I see John Stithem at OSPT in Santa Rosa. He is amazing! Patrick is intelligent, highly knowledgeable, kind, ethical, and truly concerned with your healing, not his identity or profit. I considered myself blessed to know him. GK read more
