I'm…read morepregnant so I couldn't do or take much but after three weeks of pain that kept coming back, I was desperate. After the first visit, the pain eased up but a tightness was still lingering. After the second visit, I felt much more range of mobility. By the third visit, I had zero pain. It was incredible. The last time I had an issue with this, I finally caved and got a steroid shot. But I'm glad to know there are other options available that work. The facility is really nice. Comforting, welcoming, and clean. I didn't know we had this gem in ramona. If you are looking for a natural alternative to pain, discomfort, or general health concerns outside of your doctor, I recommend stopping by here.

I have required Chiropractic care since my 20's, at 55 I gave the medical Doctor's another chance…read moreto diagnose my recurring back pain. It took 5 years of requesting X-Rays, an MRI, going to a pain clinic, a back specialist, physical therapy, acupuncture, deep tissue massage and taking pain meds to establish a diagnosis and to treat the symptoms, all the while my back pain got progressively worse. I could not walk, stand up straight and sleep well at night. The medical diagnosis was determined to be mild arthritis and the MD's did not think I should be in so much pain. They offered surgery to deaden the nerves near my spine and at that point I gave up on the MD's and went to see Dr. Turpin. Six weeks after returning to Chiropractic care, my back pain has diminished by 50% and is continuing to improve, I am standing up straight, walking with little to no pain, sleeping soundly and I no longer take any medication for pain. Thank you Dr. Turpin and staff, I am so grateful for your care. David K.

I have had great results from my treatments and homework. I think what makes Doc Turpin different than other doctors is that he is so encouraging. What I mean by that is he tries to not only get your back straight but your mind straight. He is encouraging and upbeat, and that transfers over to you. My wife and kids notice the difference. And he has an office manager Michelle who knows everything about appointments, when you need to come in an everything. She is awesome. If you are wondering about seeing a doctor of chiropractory, do it. You will not regret it. And if you are going to go, try Doc. Turpin, you might be surprised.

Highly recommend Sage hill! I went another acupuncture clinic before I found them. I can tell you…read morethat they are a lot better! I have been going there six times for my lower back pain. I had lower back pain for at least three months with no improvements. I got so frustrated. I had to stop working and stopped taking my kids out because I can't sit for longer than 45 mins. Thankfully I found Sage hill. They helped me a lot. Acupuncture visit at Sage hill is one hour for only one patient. (The other place I went before them was about 15- 20 mins while the acupuncturist had other 1-2 patients to take care of). Acupuncturist Michael at Sage hill is very patient and listen to me about my symptoms and improvements carefully each visit. And he always takes note. He put needles in gently. Besides acupuncture, he also put a Chinese medicine patch on my back by the end of the visit without extra charge. He also did cupping for my back pain and Gua Sha for my should pain after acupuncture without extra charge as well. He taught me two stretch positions which helped my recovery before I had physical therapy. My physical therapist also recommended the same stretch positions later on. (The acupuncture I went before them didn't do anything else besides acupuncture) His wife Ivy is so nice. When I contacted them for the first appointment, they were booked out for two weeks. I needed acupuncture badly at that time. Ivy suggested the other acupuncture clinics they recommend and trust in town. Luckily I got a spot with them the following week because of other people's cancellation. I am so happy I ended up with them. They are professional, patient and kind.

I do not recall this being noted during my online appointment process. I also felt like I was talked out of the Chinese medicine which is why I selected Ivy for the appointment.

So far I haven't decided if I will continue with them, or find a new one that I can do Chinese medicine as well.

For many years, this place has been one of the most incredible hidden gems in our community. What…read moretruly sets them apart is not just their expertise, but their genuine commitment to whole body and mind wellness and to serving the community with exceptional care at extremely competitive prices. Their mission and reason for being here are deeply meaningful, and it shows in every interaction. Over the years, I've come intermittently for acupuncture and have also received massages with Brittany. I'll admit, embarrassingly so, that I haven't prioritized self-care as much as I should, especially as a spine patient. Long gaps between visits are on me. Even so, every time I return, the experience never disappoints. Most recently, I saw Brittany again for a massage, and she was outstanding. As a postoperative spine patient, feeling heard and understood is critical, and she listens attentively, is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely personable. Her bodywork is exceptional, thoughtful, and clearly rooted in deep clinical understanding. Everyone here is warm, welcoming, and truly exceptional. Even with the long gaps between my own visits, I won't go anywhere else. This is the only place I will return to. Thank you for providing such an amazing group of clinicians who truly care for our community and for keeping your services accessible without compromising quality. We are so lucky to have you.
