Alleviates pain very effectively and efficiently. I'm always surprised at how much pain I walk in with, and how incredibly relieved I am once I leave. Honestly I need to start going here, before heading to my primary care physician. He listens to your problem areas and resolves them like magic! Highly recommend over other chiropractic's I've been to. read more

I was recently in an auto accident that left me with whiplash. The first doctor I thought of was Dr. Heilman. He is the ONLY chiropractor I trust with my spine. He helped me tremendously when I suffered from lower back pain and has been an enormous help with my current cervical issue. Dr. Heilman is personable, well-educated on the most current trends in the chiropractic/spinal health field and treats his patients comprehensively. He also keeps the newest equipment in if office allowing his patients to obtain optimal healing in minimal time. His equipment includes spinal decompression tables, Class IV Nexus Laser Therapy, in-office digital X-ray capabilities, Rapid Release Technology, Ultrasound Therapy, Electrical Muscle Stimulation and well as precise chiropractic adjustments as needed. Dr Heilman truly is a one-of-a-kind in his field. I highly recommend him. read more

See all

Doctor steve is the absolute best. So many times he has helped my friends with there needs in every way. Thank you for all your kindness

I've been going to here for the past month for lower and back issues and neck. It has help me tremendously. Very nice and friendly staff.

I am extremely excited to take this journey with Dr. Heilman! Right off the bat he found a way to make a personal connection...we share the same birthday!!! GO LEOS!! He then took his time asking me questions about my area of pain. He was straight forward with his assessment and didn't pressure me to buy a bunch of unnecessary products. His main concern was getting me a MRI to see what was going on,on my insides! He gave me a complimentary consultation which is awesome! Because I have to go get an MRI which is already costly so saving a couple of dollars now make it totally worth it to continue riding this ride! Meanwhile Kaiser Just wants to keep charging me co-pay to lift my leg back and forth! I can't wait to see if Dr.heilman can make me whole again!! I am only giving 4 stars for now until I have my next visit and can give a well rounded review read more

Hands down best place to get fixed. I'm not your average patient; titanium fuses many of my vertebrae together and along with work related back issues I tend to need more than just 1 step adjustment. X-rays were done, as they should be, so he was better equipped in knowing exactly what I needed. Great tools they use in aiding the pain process. Easy to talk to Doctor and the nicest front desk person, Sasha, you'll ever meet. I work in ortho myself and see how neglecting our bodies are not putting our our bodies in the right hands can really do damage and have life altering effects. These are the only people I will trust my neck and back too read more

Dr. Heilman is a vacation saver! While down here on vacation, I threw out my back to the point where I couldn't stand up straight, walk without being completely hunched over or sit without being in some form of pain. I had gone to a different chiropractor in the morning without any bit of relief. We found Dr. Heilman's office and were so fortunate to get in immediately. He's really knows what he is doing, which made me more at ease with the adjustments. Within a couple hours of my adjustment, I was able to stand and walk without being hunched over and could sit without being in pain. He even got me in the next day for a follow up to see how things were going. I am feeling so much better! My husband and I are so grateful to Dr. Heilman! We would 10/10 recommend him to anyone! read more

I've been to many chiropractors in my day, but none have made such a difference! Dr Heilman will have you feeling your best in no time! I definitely recommend, and will be back many more times! read more

Dr Steve rocks!! I've been having neck and shoulder pain for at least the last five years and was starting to believe it was just going to be a normal part of life for me. After going and meeting with Dr. Steve, he asked all the right questions to determine what may be going on. After an X-ray, he was spot on with his diagnosis!! I have been receiving treatments that have freed up my neck pain, and corrected a turned vertebrae! I will continue to come here regularly to keep myself in top shape! I highly recommend Dr Steve!! read more

My lower back pain was so extreme, I could not move in my sleep, or stand up straight. I was able to get in the same day for a free consultation. The doctor explained in terms that I could understand of what was going on. First was that my approach of heating pad and baths would not decrease swelling in the area. So I bought a huge icy pack and iced it, then the next day went back. The doctor effectively adjusted my whole back and hips. Then began exercises to strengthen my posture. I went back again the following day and had a massage where the table moved over rollers. Then there was a high rev massage which aimed at pressure points near spine and out, erasing the pain. This office is worth checking out if you have trouble standing or sleeping. read more

So far so good - been going for a couple weeks since my regular chiropractor was booked solid. His adjustments are effective and not as "rough" (for lack of a better word) as my other Chiro. If my low back issue resolves with his continued non-invasive processes then I will definitely update my review! read more

Dr.Heilman is the go to person for any chiropractic and spinal treatments! I was Involved In a car accident that lead myself having a minor injury but with Dr. Heilman's professional aptitude's, he was able to help me to feel amazingly back to normal. This was my first ever chiropractor and will be my last for any future purposes. read more

I love Dr Heilman. He has been my chiropractor of choice since 2009. Whatever the pain or issue, he fully understands how to create a treatment plan and use out of the box proven techniques to eliminate the pain. I now live in Ventura County but drive down to Escondido often to be treated. read more

Dr Steve has helped both my wife and I with injuries and other pains...using the latest in technology to solve issues without surgery. There is no one better in Escondido to trust your aches and pains to. read more

I just had my 4th adjustment with Dr. Heilman. The relief that I get after an adjustment is just amazing. Ever since I hurt my lower back from working out/diving impact. I lost a lot of confidence and mobility. Dr. Heilman has helped me get my confidence and my strength back. Highly recommended for anyone. read more

I've been having neck and shoulder pain for the past 2 weeks. Dr Heilman and his receptionist made me feel so welcome. My adjustment gave me instant relief. I made my husband an apt when I was walking out of my first apt. I knew we hit the jackpot on finding this great Chiropractor! He's helped us so much. One more think. I'm totally obsessed with his cold packs. There a must! read more

I was in a car accident a few months ago and woke up the next day with back and neck pain. I found Dr. Heilman on yelp and called to make an appointment, he was able to get me in the same day. It was my first time ever going to a chiropractor, I didn't know what to expect. On my first visit, we went over the details of my accident, where my pain was located, took x-rays, and he worked on my back. He was very thorough in explaining everything he was doing and why, making sure I was comfortable the entire time. After that, I went in almost every weekday for a few weeks, and then 2-3 times a week. He took the time to go over my x-rays with me and explain them, as well as give me advice in other areas related to my accident. He helped me so much after my accident and was very honest, I will definitely go back to him if I need to. read more

I have been seeing dr Heilman for a few months now and he is amazing!!! I have chronic nerve pain and have been a pain management patient for three years. He has an amazing practice with all of the newest and best technology!! He tried a number of things, like ultra red lasers, electro shock things (I can't think of what they're called!!) he was always flexible and willing to work with what I thought was best. He never took control over my treatments because he believes the patient knows their body best. I have post herpetic neuralgia from shingles when I was 14. My posture has gotten worse from the pain and my muscles sometimes pull my ribs out of place. Dr Heilman was my fifth chiropractor and for sure my favorite, although I might have loved his assistant just as much if not more ;) I eventually ended up leaving and finding someone else because he was a little to aggressive when he adjusted me. I'm 18 and only weigh 120 so when he pushed on me it really hurt. I'm not usually one to be vocal when it comes to fixing something but when I told him he pushed too hard he said of course it's gonna hurt your rib is out! That makes sense except for the fact I've been to many chiropractors and he's the only one to hurt when it gets put back in. I would have loved to stay at his office but I didn't think that was a great think to say to a patient, or there might have been other alternatives to adjustments, otherwise I would have 5 stars!! Great treatment and even better people!! :) read more

Great Doctor, very professional and had me feeling great after just the first visit . Was my first time going to a chiropractor so I was a little nervous but Dr.Heilman asked key questions to know exactly what I needed . I'm very pleased on the professionalism of the doctor and staff and will definitely be returning . read more

Very honest chiropractor! I came in with extreme back pain years ago and I've been coming back ever since! He always makes time for his patients and doesn't overcharge... I'll never go to another chiropractor as long as he's in business! read more

I came here because this place got 5 stars. So I called to ask for a price on an adjustment and the lady told me that I had to get a consultation first. So I made an appointment at 3:45 pm. I Got there at 3:30 to fill out new patient paperwork which took me 5 minutes. And I waited for 40 minutes so the doctor can tell me that he didn't accept my insurance and was going to charge me $55 for an adjustment! Seriously? What a waste of time. I wish they could have told me that they don't take kaiser and it would cost that much for a adjustment that takes no longer than 5 minutes to do. I'm so irritated that I'm in pain and can't afford to pay that much and they didn't apologize for making me wait 40 minutes. All they want is money. Don't waste it there... read more

I had a great experience here with this chiropractor. I was having extreme pain in both shoulders and felt much better after seeing Dr. Heilman. He was the 3rd chiropractor that I have seen and the only one to take x-rays which showed some minor issues I was not aware of. The office is nothing fancy but the Dr is down to Earth and competent. I would recommend his office to others. read more

Best Chiropractor in this area. Relaxing machines and perfect adjustment. Lasts until I play too hard and knock it out again.

D. Heilman is an excellent doctor who really takes the time to make sure your needs are met!

Very knowledgeable and strong. Makes chiropractic adjustments look easy. I have had many years of painful hip problems, and with one adjustment I was pain free for several weeks! He also has a Spinal Decompression table to relieve problem areas for bulging and herniated discs (one of my issues). I would recommend his services to anyone and everyone! I was referred and have referred others, all are happy campers! read more

Dr. Heilman is awesome. Super thorough with treatment and explanations. Always able to fit me in on short notice. He has been helping me treat my neck.Hopefully we can get it back to pain free while also getting my mobilization back. Highly recommend! I have been to a few other chiropractors but just not with the same results read more

Dr. Heilman is very good at what he does! I came in a few weeks ago with extreme lower back pain (could not sit down or bend) and he diagnosed me fairly quickly (after doing a few tests) with a swollen disc. He had me in for 3 consecutive appointments and used a bunch of fancy gadgets each time to lower the swelling an loosen it up. Had I not come to him I never would have known how to heal it correctly. I'm pretty much back to normal now and have Dr. Heliman to thank! read more

I was a patient of Dr. Heilman for approximately 7 months and I am extremely satisfied with the care that I received. I was in an auto accident and my back and neck pain was unbearable. I am now 100 percent better and couldn't be more pleased with my care. Sasha (receptionist) always has a positive attitude and always greets you with a smile. Dr Heilman is attentive to your needs and I will definitely refer my family and friends to him. read more

I am so grateful for Dr Heilman. I went into his office with excruciating back pain due to severe fibromayalsia. I was really thinking that this was it for me. This was the end. I just couldn't go on with the pain any longer and I had been seeing a Medical Dr for over 10 years for this!. Anyway I walked in in tears begging for relief and guess what, he totally turned it all around for me. He took x rays of my back and saw exactly what my problem was and has proceeded to adjust my spine and I now take supplements to help and its only been 1 week. My life has changed!!! A 100% turn around. I almost cant believe it but its true. Im sleeping through the night I feel like living again. Im not trying to be dramatic but Im telling you I was at my lowest point I have ever been. I no longer have pain in my hips and shoulders and pain doesn't wake me up at night. When I leave his office I feel like Im 20 years old again. Im more active with my dogs and actually want to go out and live my life!!!! Dr Heilman gave me my life back! Thank you Thank you!!!! The BEST decision I have ever made!!!! Oh and I actually think Im going off my "medication" prescribed by so called "doctors" Do you know how big of a deal that is? You wont regret it if you go see him!!!! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Heilman for your chiropractor needs!! He is extremely easy to talk to and cares about her personal back/neck discomforts! I visited him for the first time with extreme pain in my lower back and a discomfort in my left shoulder blade. Before adjusting me in any way, Dr. Heilman ask many questions and was very concerned to find out what my needs truly were. After discussing my issues, he adjusted me and I was able to leave his office feeling relaxed and with no pain. I have been adjusted one more time since my first visit and I am extremely happy with my results since seeing Dr. Heilman. I also have to say that his receptionist,Sasha is one of the most friendly and easy to talk to ladies I have ever met! Both Dr. Heilman and Sasha make you feel welcome in the office! Like I stated before, I highly recommend Dr. Heilman!! read more

Love love love Dr. Heilman and his office staff! He's extremely personable and caring. I had major neck pain while on holiday vacation, and he was the only Chiropractor that would see me before AND after Christmas. Not only did he help me, but also referred an excellent Chiropractor for me to see back at home in Vegas. He's very knowledgable, and takes the time to listen. He also has a very gentle touch with adjustments, which is difficult for me to find in many chiropractors. Every time I go back on vacation, I will definitely be going back to visit him! I strongly recommend Dr. H; he's the best! read more

Very friendly staff. Very knowledgeable doctor, makes sure you understand exactly what's wrong or what he is going to do. My back after one visit feels so much better! Totally recommend read more

My wife and I had come out to visit family for the holidays, and she has been suffering from severe neck pain. Dr. Heilman and his staff were fantastic. They were able to schedule us for an appointment the same day we called and were an absolute pleasure to deal with. Dr. Heilman is very knowledgable and kind. He recommended a great chiropractor in our hometown of Las Vegas to help my wife get on the road to recovery. If you're in the Escondido area and need a great chiropractor with a wonderful bedside manner and sense of humor, this is the place to go! Thanks Doc! read more

I saw Dr.Heilman after seeing my G.P. regarding my chronic back pain. Dr. Heilman took an X-ray, went over it with me in detail,and informed me that my spine had severe arthritis as well as a condition called spinal stenosis. He recommended that I start spinal decompression therapy with laser which hopefully would ease some of the pain in my lower spine. After a few treatments I noticed that my pain had decreased dramatically and my mobility improved- I could now tie my shoes in the morning without pain. Needless to say Dr. Heilman has improved my quality of life. I was actually considering surgery as the pain was getting worse. I would recommend anyone with chronic back pain that is considering surgery to give Dr. Heilman a try prior to spinal surgery. The treatment is painless and it it worked for me read more

My knee has been in chronic, dull pain for the better part of a year before going to Dr. Heilman's office. After his laser therapy treatments I've been pain free! It's been amazing to have a high level of mobility again. That coupled with the professional manner of Dr. Heilman make this an outstanding resource in Escondido for anyone looking to be pain free. read more

Very knowledgeable doc. Great place to go if you need chiropractic care. He has all the extra things you need also. The laser therapy and decompression work wonders for disc problems, sciatic pain hip bursitis. Best place around. read more

I am very grateful for having found Dr. Heilman. My lower back had been aching for quite awhile before going to see him. A new mattress did not help so I finally decided it was time to give a chiropractor a chance. Dr. Heilman was able to see me right away and spent a good amount of time doing a thorough assessment. He answered the numerous questions I had in a very respectful and honest manner, which sincerely helped me understand what was going on and why. An X-ray was taken which revealed a degenerated disc at L4-L5. Treatment included non-surgical spinal decompression, Rapid Release therapy and a few minutes on the wobble chair per visit. Dr. Heilman monitors your progress closely each time you come in for treatment and makes modifications as needed. The treatment helped tremendously and I'm so glad I didn't need any medications or a surgical procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Heilman .... and his assistant, Sasha. They are both class act professionals. And Sasha is always kind, helpful and respectful. She makes you feel welcomed and at ease. Plus, one more thought, I appreciated how flexible they were in fitting me in at a different time the same day if I had to rearrange my schedule. I will return again if needed. read more

Dr. Heilman saved the day. I was having pretty bad pain in my hip, I called his office and they got me in that day. He treated me and 3 days later feeling so much better. Great service and gets the job done. read more

WOW!!!!!! Dr. Heilman is absolutely amazing!!!!! First time to the office because I was in major pain due to Piriformis and he was able to help immediately lessen the agonizing pain radiating from my glute. He put me on the rolling table and I did the laser therapy as well. Before I left, Dr. Heilman also was able to readjust/pop my lower back which helped tremendously. To top it off... I left with CBD Pain relief ointment which I cannot wait to try when I get home. I am looking forward to my next appointment on Monday!!!!!! I absolutely recommend this office and love all the options for your back that this office has that I have never seen previously at other chiro offices!!!!! THANK YOU DR. Heilman!!!!! read more

Awesome and fast service! Same day relief from a lower been injury that I received while traveling from out of state. I highly recommended this chiropractor and his staff. read more
