I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Kirsten Sage! Around 32 weeks pregnant, my baby was transverse, and I promptly started seeing Dr. Sage for prenatal chiropractic adjustments after hearing that chiropractic care could help encourage a breech or transverse baby into a more optimal position. I began weekly appointments around 33 weeks, and thankfully, my baby successfully flipped and got into the perfect position for birth. I truly believe the adjustments with Dr. Sage played a huge role in helping make that happen. I went on to have the vaginal birth of my dreams! I only pushed for about 20 minutes and was at the hospital for less than three hours before my baby was in my arms. It was such a positive, empowering birth experience, and I fully credit Dr. Sage and the care I received with helping me get my baby into the right position. I'm so grateful I found Dr. Sage when I did. She was kind, supportive, and made me feel confident throughout the process. I would absolutely recommend her to any expecting mom, especially anyone dealing with a breech or transverse baby! read more

Another amazing experience at Sage Health! They have so many wonderful options and services with plenty of flexibility. Membership is a perfect way to give that self help and healthy benefits! Had a massage with Vanessa who did a fantastic job. I would recommend this business to someone who enjoys trying new things with a wonderful staff! read more

I went to see Dr. Shannon Jones at Sage Health when my previous chiropractor stopped taking my insurance. Dr. Jones was professional, friendly and by far the best chiropractor I've ever seen. She was gentle, but gave a remarkable adjustment. Most highly recommend her!!!! read more

Sage recently hired Dr Shannon Jones. I've seen her twice over the past two weeks--including once yesterday. I've also seen Dr Kent and Dr Sage in the past--from the same office. Dr Jones is the perfect balance between Dr Kent's more intense (yet effective) approach, and Dr Sage's much more gentle approach. Dr Jones hits the sweet spot for me and the results, so far, have been amazing. I'm getting married tomorrow, and she's the one I trusted to make sure that I can fully show up. read more

Dr Sage and her team are amazing! They are professional, friendly snd keep my body functioning! I just had an incredible deep tissue massage with Selena... highly recommend her! read more

This isn't a day spa, so know what you're walking into. This is an older office building, entrance is around back. Parking is easy. My first issue: no working restroom. Before an hour long "relaxing" treatment it's hard to relax if I didn't have a restroom. Staff had no recourse. I was told I'd need to drive to the local grocery store! My husband got a massage, and had pretty tepid review (fine, not great). I got a facial, which was new for me. I didn't find it relaxing (constant ticking timer going off, foul smelling creams). I don't think I'll be back to this facility. I'm told they are best for chiropractics. Staff was perfectly friendly and kind, but ambiance and facilities weren't what I hoped for. read more

Michael and Dr. Sarah are my Go TO! Michael for a healing massage and Sarah to get you cracked straight. They both have helped my mental health and physical health. I love the front desk as well. Everyone is so peaceful read more

It is a long overdue review for Dr. Christine Chang. I was her patient a couple of years ago in the Bay Area. She was an amazing acupuncturist. I was under a lot of stress with the fertility treatment, every session with Christine was a joy. She was always very caring and listened to my rants about life. At that time, she was about to embark a journey to Haiti with a doctors without borders group. I was so excited for her. Unfortunately, Covid happened, I stopped acupuncture visits, and later on learned that she was no longer with the clinic anymore :( Christine, I want to thank you for your support during my last fertility journey. My son is almost 4 years old now. Wish you best of luck in San Diego! read more

I've been going to Sage Health for 20 years! I've always been provided with the best personalized care possible . I have taken advantage of many of the services provided including chiropractic care, laser, acupuncture, and massage. I have recommended them to family and friends, and I recommend them to anyone looking for quality care that goes above and beyond! read more

I went to Sage in 2021 for treating the early stage of Dupuytren's disease (viking disease). Rob Rohlmeier treated me with FSM and acupuncture (combined) over a 6 week period. The lumps in my hands went completely away. Now - 2025 - I have had no issues with either hand and no new lumps have formed. Conventional treatment is to wait until some of your fingers are frozen in place and then do surgery to reduce (not eliminate) the issues. Big thanks to Rob for effective treatment! read more

The whole massage staff and Dr.s are all extremely talented. I would highly recommend Sage Health for your massage and Chiropractic needs.

Dr Sage and her team have been such an important part of my healing journey. I highly recommend her active release adjustments. Michael is a genius masseuse! I've been to a lot of places for massage, this place is by far the best. read more

Came in mainly for lower back (L4/L5) problems flaring up, also my neck and shoulder (problems there C5/6/7 going to my right shoulder, sometimes down the arm). The treatment/adjustment did OK for my neck, but did nothing for my lower back. At the time, Dr. Sage mentioned being "gentle to make sure I come back" as a little joke, but I obviously was looking for something more potent. She mentioned an assistant giving me instructions for how to "not undo what she had done, but no instructions were given, and when I wrote an e-mail later that day asking for same, no response. Main issue is with billing. Has been 17 days and still nothing showing at my insurance. I liked the office well enough to plan on going back, but they charged full price on my credit card when per where my deductible was with my insurance (Anthem Blue Cross) I should have paid much less. They said they'd give me a check for the difference when things were figured out... I had scheduled another visit but told them I wanted them to bill my insurance instead of my paying full price up front, and they said they couldn't do that, some B.S. about not being able to "when a service is provided." Sure... I can get a full surgery or MRI and those places go through insurance and get charges agreed upon before billing! Three calls to the office since and nothing is showing up with my insurance still, no follow up from the office after any call. At least they answer the phone, to apparently blow smoke? Shitty way to treat a potential new client. read more

I saw somewhere else that someone wrote Dr. Sage is a born healer and I couldn't have said it better myself. There's only two people in this world that I have met that have the type of incredible, kind, calming and vibrant energy that Dr. Sage possesses and I haven't even begun to talk about how transformative her practice is. The first time I went to Dr. Sage I was sold. She identified misalignments that I had never had checked or been told of. After our adjustment I felt immediate and intense relief. As someone with chronic neck and shoulder pain, it was amazing to find someone who could relieve that. In addition, I struggle with neck adjustments and since day one she has always made modifications to give me the adjustment I needed without doing a manual adjustment. I can't tell you how much I appreciate her listening to me as a client but also listening to my body. My entire family (and I mean... my ENTIRE family) now go to her and no one else. I'm so grateful to have found her. I have been wronged by chiropractors in the past who did unnecessary adjustments, peddled fear and clearly only cared about the $$$. Dr. Sage's practice is NOTHING like this. Her sole intention is to make sure every person that comes through her doors leaves feeling better. Endlessly grateful for her. As for massages (I hate to even tell this...) but Michael is the most incredible massage therapist I've ever been to. Another person who has such strong intuition with finding what your body needs - I always leave the massage feeling so much more relaxed and a lot better. Would consistently give Dr. Sage's practice a 10/10 for the 2+ years I've been coming here. read more

Staff is very friendly, easy to book appointments. Inside is clean and calm. Have been getting adjusted by Kent for a little while now, has made a world of difference. Takes care in finding what's wrong, works on those specific areas and makes effective adjustments! Doesn't feel like a generic back cracking. read more

My massage with Ariel was amazing! Definitely the best massage I've had. I chose relaxation and medium pressure, and extra focus on neck and feet. So glad I could come in same day for some extra self care. My 60 minute massage was $95, and the ladies who work there are nothing but nice. There's also a cute jewelry stand, essential oil rack, and local skincare items. read more

See all

wow well deserved 5 star rating, I've been experiencing back and neck pain for about 3-4 years. Laying in bed after a day of work had my Lower back and neck throbbing almost every night. Certain back cracks I had done on my self would help to a certain extent, but then I would slowly feel it come back in a matter of days. I worked with Kirsten Sage as she made me feel super welcomed and comfortable. She listened to me about how it felt, how I relieved the pain and even gave me tips!. However she found exactly where the pain was coming from simply in 5 minutes into my appointment. She adjusted my lower back and neck a few days ago but I have never felt so free with moving my body like that in the past 4 years. I haven't gotten not even a sliver of pain since. Kirsten knew exactly what she was talking about every second during the appointment Which was very comforting and relaxing:) as a new client that has never been adjusted before. 10/10 experience! Would do it again! Thank you Kirsten! read more

I've received a letter in the mail requesting I update my review since I've now been able to have an appointment. I was able to book a massage, but I don't remember who the provider was. They had me down incorrectly for a deep tissue massage when I had requested a Swedish massage. The massage was okay, nothing amazing but not bad. A couple weeks later I found out I was pregnant and dealing with awful morning sickness, so I decided to try acupuncture there since I still have a gift card. I saw Lina. When I arrived they asked if I completed my forms, which were never provided to me in advance. Lina then asked why I was having morning sickness, which I thought was an odd question to ask a pregnant woman. She then lectured me I did not put on the form I was pregnant, which I definitely did. I've had acupuncture many times, so I'm familiar with it. Wasn't super impressed and unfortunately had no relief after. The music stopped while I was laying with needles in, and all I could hear were people washing their hands in the sink directly outside the door. The facility is nice, but if I didn't have gift cards I don't know that I would pay on my own. read more

I've come in every week consistently for almost three months and never had an issue or complained about wait time. Up until this point everyone has been super friendly. However today when I was running late I was met with nothing but hostility on the other end of the phone that made me rethink how much everyone here cares about patients. On top of being treated rudely for letting them know I was running 5-10 minutes late due to an accident on the freeway, receptionist Nikki cancelled my appointment even though I called beforehand. A majority of the time i'm waiting 10-15 minutes before being seen (mostly for an appointment that lasts maybe ten minutes), so I thought this was pretty extreme given i've seen them grant leeway to other patients who arrive late while I've been there. Kristen is nice and seems to genuinely care, which is why this review is not 1 star-- however until today it was a five star review. Nikki on the phones needs some more training. At the end of the day I come in to help my pain and stress, not add more on, and this experience will prevent me from returning. read more

Top 3 worst massages of all time. Apparently masseuse thinks just putting his hand on you is a massage. Bizarre. There was virtually zero actual massage. read more

If you are ever looking for an amazing chiropractor and all around great person, go see Dr. Kent Nishiya. He has done an incredible job when I have needed adjustments. He also takes the time to educate you on why things are happening and how to prevent them from happening in the future. I cannot recommend him enough!! read more

Thank you Kirsten, for keeping us healthy and walking more upright and proud! One thing I really appreciate is you helping Makoa and Koji. Makoa (7th) lugs around this 20lb backpack throughout the day (thanks to no more lockers in the schools) plus his instrument. Seriously, if he didn't get adjusted, he'd be a mess in a few years! He feels the difference too! Thanks Kirsten! read more

I was pretty excited to try sage health. Very disappointed that their hours were updated two months ago saying that they are open on Sundays. Yet I arrive today and not only is the address incorrect on yelp but also it says they are open and no one's there. It says to go to another building and you can't even enter the lobby. Everything is locked up. I will definitely not be returning because this is pretty much business one oh one and if you can't keep your hours and addressed organized I definitely don't want you working on my body. read more

My favorite chiropractic business of all time. My time is never wasted and I'm always in and out feeling so much better. Such a relaxing space and my chiropractor is always full of knowledge on what supplements I should be taking and stretched I should be doing read more

Much of healing starts with the people you surround yourself with--kind, supportive, calming and positive. Therefore, the healing for me started the moment I walked in the door to Sage Health. You are greeted by such people here and the healing doesn't stop there. Dr. Sage had me at hello. Not only does she understand the body, but she listens to your body's specific needs. My body aches and pains are unique to me and she treats them without over doing or under doing it. She gives great gentle and mindful adjustments, along with amazing massages that compliment the adjustment. Relief at last. The other staff members are also amazing in their specific techniques(massage, acupuncture, facials, and receptionists) making it a supportive and like minded environment of holistic healing. Every time I go in, I learn something new about my body because the knowledge is shared and discussed with me for optimal results. Thank you Sage Health! Love, Erica (member and patient since 2016) read more

I'm so glad I met Naomi. I needed so badly to get back onto a consistent skincare routine and she's helped so much with it. Naomi is an amazing esthetician. My skin is looking better and I get compliments on it for days after my facials. I have really sensitive skin with a lot of scarring and some breakouts, but she does her magic and I walk out feeling glow-y and hydrated. Another person who left a review says that she's like "warm friend." That's exactly Naomi! I very much enjoy my time with her! read more

Sure do love my accupuncture sessions with Dr. Sage! Less tension & stress in my daily life. I feel very relaxed!

Everyone at Sage Health are so nice & friendly. They know me by name which is a nice personal touch and I always get greeted right when I walk in. I've been to all the chiropractors in the office and they are all great and listen to your needs and help you get to the root of your pain issue. The massage are fantastic, I highly recommend Vanessa! I love having my monthly membership. read more

Dr Sage is amazing!! I've wanted to write this review for a long time! Dr. Sage is truly ONE OF A KIND. I have gone to many healers in the past decade of my life. Something around 150 chiropractors, accupuncture and holistic wellness doctors. When we talk about experience with this industry of doctors I can say I definitely have it. With that being said: Doctor Sage is THE BEST healer I have EVER MET! I am healing from Lyme disease and have been very sick and extreme pain some days. I kid you not- I walk into Sages offices feeling like I'm dying a 3/10 pain level, and walk out already feeling better 5/10 . Every single time I am feeling better by evening 10/10. She's so amazing!! Not only is she a miraculous healer but she is one of the kindest humans. She's so smart. Always wanting to learn and help. And she's FLEXIBLE- A lot of days she's booked back to back with no room for Appointments but she has stayed late or found a way to get me into her schedule if possible. This women is a angel here on earth I can't say enough great things about. She has truly inspired me to eventually go to school and be a healer as well. So moral of this post after 150 healers, I have found the best chiropractic/ acupuncturist!! Thanks Dr Sage! read more

I see Dr Sage for both chiropractic and acupuncture monthly and she is amazing. She is a truly gifted, caring, compassionate and skilled person who takes great care of me and her patients. I also have seen Vanessa for deep tissue massages and she is also wonderful. I would highly recommend both. Office staff is very friendly and welcoming and overall just a wonderful place! read more

Sage health is great! Love dr Sage. She is very knowledgeable and only treats what is needed. I've seen too many chiropractors that over do it. DONNA is an awesome massage therapist!! I've had a lot of massages over the years and she is truly a great find. Very firm and confident hands. She knew just where I needed to be worked on. Very intuitive. read more

I had been looking for a new chiropractor in the area who took my insurance and had gone to a couple of places and had horrible experiences. Once I saw Dr Sarah McKay I knew I had found my new chiropractor! She is amazing at getting me unstuck, and I trust her to adjust my kids as well! The front staff are so nice, and the massage therapists are amazing as well. read more

I am enjoying my chiropractic adjustment sessions with Dr. Helaine Shpritz. Her schedule is available to me overall. She communicates about my needs. I also appreciate that she's willing to try new techniques in a safe environment. So far, I'm happy with the services at Sage wellness as well as the front office team. read more

Dr. Sage has such a warm, healing, positive attitude and spirit. I always feel so much better after receiving a treatment. Her technique is very gentle, but also very effective. She is able to zero in on what is not functioning properly with my body, and makes it better. I am incredibly grateful I found her and would recommend her practice to others. read more

Sarah is amazing. My daughter felt immediately better after her visit. Sarah definitely has "the gift"!

I recently threw out my back and was barley able to move, I tried everything to manage the pain on my own at home but after a week I could not take the pain any more. That's when I found Sage Health and Dr. Cristina Sanniola! After just the first visit I have almost full range of motion again. I am sore but that is to be expected, and I know I will see more improvement as I continue treatment. Thank you Dr. Sanniola, you saved my back! read more

Wow! Can't say enough good things about Sage Health. My back was locked up and I had very little mobility. I was able to see Sarah the next day and she totally unlocked my back. Thank you Sarah! You're a miracle worker! read more

Love this place and the entire staff. The services provided are amazing. Dr. Sage's CAM sessions keep me going in a positive light! Had my first organic custom facial with Naomi. The results are so good. Love the Blueberry scrub I purchased for home use. read more

I had a wonderful facial at Sage Health last week. Calming space, wonderful people. I felt cared for and relaxed.
