I went to Spinezone due to back pain. I had very good guidance from the physical therapist in the Escondido, CA location. I am continuing at Spinezone now in a maintenance program at the San Marcos, CA location. All the people who work there are very nice but I have to highlight Corrin, the receptionist. I have never met a friendlier or more competent receptionist than Corrin. She makes it easy to change appointments and greets every new client warmly. She somehow knows most of the existing clients' names! I wish there were more people in the workforce as competent and friendly as Corrin. It really does make a difference for the clients and the business. Spinezone is lucky to have her. read more

I was very pleased with the exercises that I was given. They really targets my issues with my knee. I was able to reach my goal in a shorter time than expected. I would definitely recommend Spinezone. read more

Spinezone, physical therapist and supporting staff have always been the best! Their approached to targeting weak areas to build strength and support have been the best treatment I've found, even comparing to traditional physical therapy that I had already tried. Also enjoyed their online engagement, messaging and information provided by the Doctor's who created this program. Thanks Spinezone!! read more

When I started going to Spinezone I had constant back pain 24 hours a day. I've been going for a couple of months and between the physical therapy work on site, learning exercises that I do at home, and the physical adjustments and implementing recommendations they make I have had major improvement. My pain has decreased SIGNIFICANTLY, and I am able to sleep for longer periods of time. My therapist is Jason and he is great at what he does. It has changed my life. Highly recommend! read more

I was prescribed to go to SpineZone for PT as a result of a ruptured disc. I've been to PT for back issues many times, and I'm kind of experienced with this stuff as a client. My injury is also quite painful this time, so I really needed help. ISpineZone felt like going to McDonald's. There were limited questions to me about my condition. They started with a "1 hour consult" which lasted 20 minutes and provided no relief. This consisted of someone asking no questions, prescribing exercises that either caused me more pain or were designed for an 80 year old man. I also got a tour of the facility like I was evaluating whether to join a gym. Lastly, They agave me a book to read by the owner. It felt culty to be honest, they even refer to the owner not by name but by acronym. My doctor ended up canceling my treatment. It was a huge waste of both my time and my money reaching my deductible. It's frustrating when you're in a ton of pain, and people treat you like your problem is a recipe that they're going to follow regardless of what you tell them. read more

This place is amazing. They are very skilled at what they do. Benito is not only warm and funny he really helped my pain. These few PT appointments help fid neck pain that year of massage and chiropractor alone did not do. He educated me on whT daily activities contributed to my pain and for the first time I'm actually cognizant of it so I stop the behavior before I get to a point of needing pain meds. They email you exercises daily which helps you be accountable. read more

Benito helped me understand the pain I was experiencing and how each tailored exercise would aid in my recovery process. He did everything possible to ensure I had a positive, healthy outcome.

In late Nov 2020 I started having lower back problems with symptoms running out my hip and down my leg. Nothing new...I have previously been diagnosed as having degenerative disc disease. I went to my Doc and he assumed that was what it was as did my Chiro. MRI showed nothing. I got a big shrug from both people treating me. Just take drugs and go to the Chiropractor twice a week and you will improve. By late December I could hardly stand. I called my Doc and requested physical therapy. He sent me to Spine Zone in Vista. I was evaluated by Ryan on my first visit. After 10 minutes Ryan said, "Its your SI joint". He explained it is what connects your hip bone to your spine. Not sure why my Doc and Chiropractor could not figure it out. Ryan definitely ROCKS! I spent the next seven weeks with Julie doing therapy. She was pleasant and knowledgeable. I am a 61 year old avid cyclist, hiker and gym rat. Julie pushed me hard enough to get me better but also kept in check my tendency to push too hard. I am now completely healed and have more strength in my core than before I hurt myself. Spine Zone also sets up daily notifications and exercises on their website to keep you working throughout the week. I wholeheartedly recommend Spine Zone Vista. read more

The staff at the SpineZone that I went to were all very outgoing and professional. They took the time to explain what each treatment would be like and how to perform the task. I really enjoyed the appointments but alas they did their job and I felt great so stopped going. I would highly recommend them for anyone that needs PT. read more

Appreciated the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment. very professional!

I was referred to SpineZone by my primary care physician to resolve an issue I was having with my neck. After completing my 20 visits I was pain free and had a 129% increase in strength and was 33% above the norm for a person my age. The staff is amazing. The therapists I worked with (Tiffany, Krystle, Dorothy, Evan and Chance) were all knowledgeable, caring and fun to work with. The facility is spotless with a relaxing atmosphere. I would definitely recommend the Vista SpineZone. read more

These people are great, their process is fantastic. I have been to PT before, even for my back, and felt after a few I could do the stretches and exercises at home. But here, its more about personal training focused on strength in your area of concern. Loved it! read more

This is the third time in my life that I was referred to Physical Therapy. However, it is the first time that I was taught how everything is connected to the neck, spine and how nerves can get impinged causing tightness, pain and less mobility. From the first appointment that assessed my issues, provided me with home exercises to the Therapist, Rainier that works so professionally with me I was more than impressed with the whole system. The computerized exercises, ability to message online (and they get back to you quickly, too!) and figure out what is going on and where they could take me was amazing. I look forward to completing my treatment and improving my posture, reducing pain or learning how to work around it all. Also, the mindfulness sessions 2x a week is a sweet addition to the overall treatment as well as the articles emailed to me as lessons to learn . I wholeheartedly recommend this particular Spinezone. read more

Very knowledgeable, and friendly physical therapists. The equipment is great and I noticed the muscles it was targeting were getting stronger and more flexible. I feel better every week and you get a nice burst of endorphins after your workout. I definitely recommend SpineZone and I'm going to go on the maintenance plan which includes 10 visits once a week and you can use the equipment yourself and keep targeting specific muscles with their awesome machines. read more

My range of motion improved 37% after my 20 visits for physical therapy at Spine Zone in Vista!! I've had back and neck pain most of my life and now I don't notice much pain at all.

I receive individual attention and focus to make sure that I am using the machines correctly and improving. I noticed such a difference that I decided to pay, out of pocket, to stay on the maintenance plan. They are miracle workers!!! read more

I could be a poster child for Spine Zone San Marcos. I'm a professional musician and I play harp and keyboards. I've injured myself several times from performing, but in April of 2022 I really caused some damage from rehearsing too much and carrying too much heavy equipment. My doctor had me have an MRI which indicated spinal stenosis and then referred me to Spine Zone. It was about a month before I could even manage to get in because of the pain, I was in bed for a month. But Ryan Schrader carefully and skillfully helped me to go from pain level 10 to very little pain now. I told everyone I know including myself that I would never play again. A few months after starting Ryan asked if I had been playing harp yet and I thought what a crazy question, I didn't dare go back to that pain. He suggested I start with 5 minutes a day and if that worked, to add another minute gradually. I'm happy to say I'm up to 40 minute rehearsals every other day and I have 3 performances this year - I don't want to over do it so I'm limiting it to 3. I'm so very grateful to Ryan Shrader and Spine Zone for giving me my life back! You are a miracle worker! read more

Julie and the Vista team are great. I'm so happy I had them to help me with my balance and spine injury issues.

My back problem has built up for about 10 years. Last December 2017 it became unbearable. My Dr. wanted the muscles in my back to be built up before doing anything more and sent me to SpineZone. About half way through the sessions (20 total) I felt a definite change in the strength and less and less pain, not perfect, but I feel great now and can't wait to tell the Dr. All of the therapist were eager to listen and help with each session. I am very pleased with the progress I've had and plan on continuing to build up my back there. read more

I particularly liked that Julie helped me convert what I was doing there to a program I can continue at my local fitness center and that Tiffany helped me separate my exercises into manageable segments: stretches daily at home, and strength exercises twice a week at the fitness center. Then fitting in the Aquafit I already was doing around it. read more

I feel very much better after taking 14 sessions at SpineZone. My symptoms are all but gone.

I came to SpineZone Vista referred by my doctor and am incredibly glad I did. I had thrown out my back and had terrible mobility going forward. I didn't even complete 20 visits because my back was feeling almost 100% by the 8th visit. All therapists I worked with were so fun to be around, easy to talk to and helpful with focusing on my individual need. I do believe that because of these visits and the exercises I did on my own at home were incredibly helpful to my recovery. It's a great place and comes highly recommended. read more

I was expecting a very harsh workout regimen before I went to spine zone for the first time. Turns out you don't have to work hard if you have the right equipment. After 20 visits I am 33% stronger! My posture has really changed and the photographs are amazing to look at. The people are very professional while being very very friendly. It'a happy group. I really look forward now to my maintenance program because there is no way I'm going to let go of what I've accomplished so easily. I've been telling anyone who will listen about the spine zone. read more
