Ever since around late-2025, I've been dealing with more agonizing pain around my lower…read morelumbar/spinal area. Jump forward to the spring of 2026 and for the first time in my life, I went to see a private chiropractor. However, that proved to be way too expensive and had to look elsewhere. And in May 2026, I finally signed up for a 3-month membership at "The Joint" Chiropractic. My home base location is off of Madison/Sunrise in Citrus Heights but after being out of town on Friday/Saturday, I needed to get an adjustment on Sunday. There is where "The Joint Gold River" came in handy as they are the only location in my area that is currently opened on Sundays. Located directly off on Sunrise Ave and Golden Centre Lane in the Golden Towne Centre, this particular office has been in operation dating back to 2013. And since it is smack dab in between my office and home, it is a perfect location in case I needed to get my adjustment on my way home from work. The primary chiropractor here is Dr. Roger Brisbane who has been practicing since 1991 and has helped thousands of patients over the decades. If you are familiar with The Joint and are an active member, they simply scan your membership card and you wait until it is your turn. Since it is a first-come, first-serve basis, you may be seen immediately or experience a small wait time. I came during the afternoon on Sunday 6/21/2026 at around 12:20pm and was done with my adjustment by 12:45pm. I will say that Dr. Brisbane really helped alleviate a lot of the back pain that I was experiencing and did a fantastic job. He was able to use the proper methods and techniques to make sure all of my toxins were being released; primarily around the lower back and neck areas. Since every chiropractor is a little different, it can vary from one place to the next. I also wanted to say that the receptionist was very friendly and accommodating as she was positive and helpful. Sadly major retailers such as Starbucks and Bel Air have shuttered in 2026 as well as an Outback Steakhouse back in 2020. However, "The Joint Gold River" was a breath of fresh air as I felt much better after my adjustment. My rating, a unanimous five stars.

Update: After posting this review, Dr. Baratta reached out to me personally to explain what…read morehappened and to apologize. I genuinely appreciated him taking the time to contact me directly -- it meant a lot to hear from him and to know he cared enough to follow up. My feelings about the situation haven't changed, simply because finding out by text while trying to schedule my next appointment was unexpected after being a consistent patient for so long. But I do want to acknowledge his message and the sincerity behind it. I've always had positive experiences with him and his team, and I will truly miss this office and the care I received. The bigger issue here is the system itself. Our health insurance landscape has become so chaotic and unpredictable that both patients and providers end up caught in the crossfire. It puts everyone in impossible positions, and this was one of those moments where the system failed all of us. I appreciate that he reached out -- and I also think it's important to name how these insurance changes impact real people on both sides.

Specializing in all things to do with total health from diet to body work to doing inner work. I've known Dave DeLapp and Ellen Flowers for years and have been a client of Ellen's for years as well! What she does is treat the cause, not the symptoms. Using a form of kinesthesiology (the medical and therapeutic study of the movement of muscles and joints) she does muscle testing to read your energies. Now before you go, dang that sounds woo woo, believe me I have been through the ringer the past few years and she has helped me through this process. I call Ellen my spiritual life coach, for lack of a better word. Not one to mince words, she cuts to the chase finding the root of the situation. Unhealthy relationship issues? Toxic work environment? Surly teenager? Yes been there done that. However if you are one to be in constant denial, complain about the same thing over and over to whoever will listen and not want to transform yourself, then maybe this wouldn't be a good fit for you.

After spending quite a bit of money by seeing my previous chiropractor (for roughly 2 months), I…read morehad one of two options for my herniated disc/sciatic nerve pain; one was continuing to do business with them by paying $55/weekly which was just over $200/month. Or the more cost-effective route was jumping ship to a whole new chiropractor. After researching both independent and well-known chiropractor offices in the greater Sacramento area, I finally settled with "The Joint Chiropractic" in Citrus Heights. Located directly on the corner of Madison Ave/Sunrise Blvd in Citrus Heights, this location has been around since 2017. Many of you already know this but The Joint is a nationwide business and (as of mid-2026), they have over 500 locations across the United States. This can definitely have its ups and downs including available timeslots, reputable/reliable staff, and the interpersonal care with the customers. The primary reason why I signed up was definitely the price as they were offering a $29 new patient special as this included the consultation, exam, and adjustment. However, signing up with that $29 price means that you are obligated to purchase a specific plan for a future visit. Since I was already going 3-4 times a month to my previous chiropractor, I opted for the "Wellness Plan" which costs $89/month for up to 4 visits. I ended up coming here during the morning of Saturday 5/23/2026 at around 10:15am. Since I had scheduled my appointment online for 10:30am (which was initially a walk-in appointment and adjustment), I had no idea how long this was going to take. After checking in and filling out my new patient registration form (through an iPad), I waited in the lobby until I was told by the receptionist that I would be up next. Total time from when I walked in until I was seen was about 30 minutes; not too bad for a Saturday morning. What is quite intriguing and could possibly draw people away is that you can see every patient getting their adjustments. No curtain, no drape, just an open layout which I found to be quite perplexing. I don't know if all locations are like this but my guess is that quite a few new patients might be caught off guard. Once it was my turn to get adjusted, I was seen by the chiropractor, Dr. Robert Jaeger. He had me do a variety of stretches and when it was time for me to get adjusted, he worked my lower back, lower legs, and neck area. He also asked me quite a few questions regarding the types of pains I have experienced. Once he was able to make the right adjustments, I felt quite relieved that he had done an above average job. Once my exam was completed, Dr. Jaeger gave me a rundown of how often I should be going back, in this case several times a month and as I mentioned in the 2nd paragraph, I went with the 4 visits a month for $89. Otherwise, you can pay for one visit for $55 or a 6-visit package (that you can use anytime) for $209. It really comes down to how often your body needs to get adjusted. With that said and done, I am giving "The Joint Chiropractic" in Citrus Heights a respectful four stars. My advice is to come during the less busier times as this would prevent long wait times before you are seen. I also wanted to point out that their hours are quite generous as they are open 6 days a week, Monday through Saturday from 10am-7pm while they are out to lunch from 2-2:45pm. However, if you go a few miles down Sunrise to their Gold River location, they are also open on Sunday. All in all, this place is getting the job done and at half the price what I was paying before. We will see how things go long term with an updated review!

It's also a great place if you or a loved one is in a car accident---both my husband and I have been in ones in the past few years and Dr. Polley and his massage therapist Lucy were wonderful at taking care of us and doing everything needed for dealing with insurance. Dr. Polley always makes me feel comfortable, and I know I can trust that I'm in good hands with him. And like Jack Bauer, he's the only one who can get the job done completely.

I can not say enough great things about Fowers Chiropractic!!!…read more In August I was rear-ended by a drunk driver. This accident resulted in sever pain to the right side of my neck, shoulders, and back. On top of this I had daily headaches and was waking up multiple times a night in pain from my neck. After about a month of this, I decided I should try out chiropractic care for the first time. I finally went on yelp and luckily found Dr. Fowers. Dr. Fowers worked with my schedule to get me in as much as possible early on to jump start my treatment. Her method was very surprising to me and I was skeptical at first, but after a few visits I started seeing improvements. Dr. Fowers does not do the typical cracking we think of when we think of a chiropractor. Her adjustments seem subtle, but they are direct and effective! The office also had an amazing laser technology that aided in my recovery and reduced my pain. Today I had a reassessment and my results were awesome. I have almost completely recovered to pre-accident. I no longer have daily headaches, and I sleep through the night and wake up without the pain I used to feel! Thank you Fowers Chiropractic!

Dr. Debby Welshon is a genius. She has xray vision, I'm pretty sure. She can just look at me,…read morethen touch me exactly where it hurts. I walk out pain free from her clinic every time. I stopped in to seek treatment for an injury I sustained 10 months ago, when I was bucked off a horse. My hip has been painful ever since, and after riding cross country from Colorado to California with my three horses, I was as the old timers say "all stove up". I had severe pain in my psoas and piriformis muscles, which pulled my sacrum "out" and caused impingement on the sciatic nerve. In addition, all this tension caused my shoulder and neck to lock up in pain and stiffness, limiting my range of motion. The first visit, Dr. Debby spent 90 minutes with me. She put a "STEM" unit on the tight muscles with a heating pad, did some ultrasound, and then called in her massage therapist to work on my cemented neck muscles. I never felt anything like that in my body. She was able to adjust the axis/atlas joint and I experienced immediate relief of my neck pain and the dizzyness/vertigo I had been having for 3 weeks prior to the visit. It was like magic! I couldn't believe the vertigo was gone, but it was, and has not come back. I know have more pain free range of motion in my neck than I have ever had in my life. I fully committed to the healing process, and started a program at home of yoga - 2 hours a day. At first I was doing hip openers, but gradually I bought CDs by Shiva Rea and I could feel my body changing, growing stonger, more flexible, and my hips opening. After all those months of muscles in spasm, it took a few visits to support my home practice of juice fasting and yoga. I lost 15 pounds in 10 days. Dr. Debby stuck with me through all of it, respectful and knowlegeable and as committed to my wellness as I was. I never had a problem getting in at the last minute. She was always there to see me on the days she was open. (She's closed on the weekend and Tuesday, and comes in from 4-7 on Thursdays.) She's a young mother, and I respect her needing to manage her home life as well as her busy single Dr. practice. This Friday was a turning point. For the first time, I have been mostly pain free for 2 days. I can feel that my body will soon be well and better than ever - like a Phoenix rising from the ashes! I completely vouch for Dr. Debby. She's an amazing healer, in every way. You should be aware that Dr. Debby provides experience for interns from a medical assisting program. They are sweet young people, and want to help, but they don't always know what they're doing because they are in training. When they don't know, they check with Dr. Debby first so I have always felt safe. By having these aspiring caregivers working with her, she is able to offer an amazing array of therapies for the low cost of $45.00/visit. That's amazing value. The positive thing about the interns is that they are always available to provide assistance so the service is great. You name it, you got it. This is the best value chiropractor I have ever ever ever seen for some of my many injuries. Dr. Debby really cares about each and every one of her patients (she seems to be hugging people all the time) and will give you the very best care available, or she will refer you if for some rare reason she can't help you. I also must just say that her office is very pleasant. Good Feng Shui abounds, from the vibrant plants and soft lighting to the clutter free space and restful meditation music. The staff are so kind and respectful, and knew me by name after the first visit. My only observation of room for improvement is that a couple of times it was chilly in the office, and it would have been good to have a warmer blanket. I left on my horse travels prematurely last weekend. I was so much better that I jumped the gun and took off on my usual dusty trail. I drove all the way back from Yosemite and this time I will stay in Dr. Debby's care until I'm 100%. I will update this review when I have been pain free for 3 days. In partnership with this wonderful provider, I am approaching complete fitness and flexibility to a level I have not achieved in years. Don't delay. If you have pain, you cannot afford not to visit Debby. There is no better deal, and no better care at any price. Also, for $10.00 the attached fitness club next door will allow the use of their facilities which includes a sauna and awesome whirlpool hot tub.
