From the moment of conception and during the 40 weeks of pregnancy, your body goes through a series of remarkable changes. It is easy for all of us to see postural changes through pregnancy - the center of gravity changes as the weight of the baby places increased pressure on the spine especially in the low back, hips, and pelvis.

Dr Sage is an angel! I can't do the cracking, so she does other therapy that helps my neck & back so much! Her staff is super nice and always work with my crazy schedule to get me in, and I rarely if ever have to wait. If you sign up to get texts, they'll also text you when a massage therapist is giving a special on a massage. I highly recommend!

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

I'm so glad I found this place. I originally came in for sciatic pain and had always been interested in Acupuncture but never dare tried it. This place is phenomenal not only for Acupuncture, but I have been to a terrific Chiropractor and just recently had my first massage all in the same company. I cannot recommend Aimee Holdwick, Sara Mackay, or Donna A! These women are so intelligent, friendly, observant, and overall amazing. You need to check out Sage Health! I will not go anywhere else. The place is perfect for all your needs and I can't thank them enough for working with me and

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!

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.

Kristen Sage is an incredible chiropractor, utilizing other modalities such as acupuncture and massage if desired. The office is friendly and super clean, all virus precautions are in place. Donna is their new masseuse and she is amazing! She blends Swedish, trigger point, Lomi-Lomi and Thai massage to give you the relief you need.

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

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

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.

I was here visiting the area for a few days and was experiencing back pain and muscle spasms and found Sage Health on Yelp while looking for massage therapy. I was impressed with all the good reviews they received and even though it was early and the office wasn't open, I was able to make an appointment online (love this option) that afternoon for a 90 minute massage. My massage therapist was Michael R. and he was fantastic! He's a big guy and I hoped he wouldn't be too firm but he asked what pressure I wanted and delivered just the right touch. It was one of the best massages

I cannot say enough about the Sage Health wellness team. Dr. Sage is a true healer and saved my life, literally! I was experiencing a lot of back pain during pregnancy and was happy to find someone that could help. She not only kept me in alignment and out of pain but my safety was always of upmost concern. At one point she took my blood pressure which was high and told me to call my OB right away. I did and was advised to go to the hospital immediately. Turns out I had preeclampsia and needed to deliver asap or it could have been fatal for me and the baby. It was traumatic to say the least but

Love coming here to see Dr. Sage for my monthly maintenance adjustment. She's the most sweetest and professional person you can meet. Her staff is great and always greet you by first name when you come in which makes this office feel more personalized because they take the opportunity to get to know their clientele. I always recommend people to come here when they ask for a chiropractic referral. They have additional services like massages and acupuncture. They take insurance or private pay.

Dr Sage and her staff are awesome! They truly care about your overall health n wellness. I have sciatic nerve that acts up occasionally and new to the area. Found Sage Heath on Yelp with high recommendations n great reviews. Dr Sage not only fixed my back but also pain in right foot (plantar fasciitis), pain my right hip (hip locked up) and an inverted curve to my neck caused by a car accident when I was 18!
To address insomnia, Dr Sage suggested acupuncture. I REALLY don't like needles but was so desperate for relief I tried it (no regrets, right?) For me, first couple sessions were

I've always had back pain and thought it was normal pain as we age. Dr. Sage found out that my left leg was shorter by 1 inch and my head tilted forward by 15 degrees! Along with my left shoulder not having a full range of motion, my hips were also rotated slightly to the right!
Well Dr. Sage did this "active release" method which sounds like an impact wrench on my back. She then gave me exercises for me to do on a foam roller. Thank you Dr. Sage for fixing my back every time I knock it out of place.

Doctor Sage is THE BEST! I've seen several chiropractors in the Encinitas area over the last 16 years and none can compare (if any of you happen to be reading this... sorry/not sorry).
Not only does she really show she cares about your health and happiness, but her entire team of massage therapists, acupunturists, and office team all treat you the same as well. It's so nice to walk in, be known by name, be asked how you are (with genuine care and concern), and to be treated promptly and professionally every time.
Thanks Sage Health for being so rad!

Came in for the first time a few weeks ago with an awful back spasm, and in lots of pain. Dr. Sage did a fantastic, detailed examination and adjusted me appropriately. She also took the time to show me and explain why I may be feeling pain/experiences symptoms based on my spine misalignment.
She's very detail oriented, professional, and kind.. listening to my concerns and addressing them each visit. Needless to say, any time after a visit, I feel my pain is alleviated.. my muscle spasm issues improved within 48 hours.
Great office staff who are friendly and always remember my name, greeting

I love Dr. Sage so much. When I first found her, I was in complete agony. I had an extreme back spasm and could not even stand up straight. She was realistic and said it would be work but she would be able to help me right away. And boy did she! I was able to actually walk out the door, semi normally after that first visit.
We worked together for a few months, and she got me back in fighting shape. We did exercises in the office as well as exercises I did at home. It was so easy and affordable, she was great about taking insurance. Thank you Dr. Sage, I can't stop singing your praises to

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!
