Dawn Sandberg, DC

I’ve been seeing Dawn for a few months now and I have to say she is absolutely wonderful. She did a very thorough assessment during my first visit and explained the adjustments and treatment plan that would help me. I really feel such a big difference in my neck and shoulders. Dawn definitely knows her stuff and is super passionate about what she does. I’ve always wanted to take my kids to a chiropractor but they are so resistant to that kind of thing (seriously the doctor is a nightmare and we have yet to get through a dental appointment) Dawn has toys in the office to entertain the kids while I get adjusted and make them feel calm and comfortable. She would let them «help» during my adjustments and after just a couple of visits, my son literally climbed up onto the table himself and laid down. I was amazed! She was able to give him a quick gentle adjustment and of course little sister had to do it too! I really cannot say enough good things about Dawn and her services, you should see for yourself :)

I came to see Dr. Dawn at the recommendation of my prenatal massage therapist after my doctor suspected by feeling my stomach that my baby might be lying sideways at 32 and 34 weeks. Hoping to avoid a c section I was willing to do whatever it took to try to move my baby. I saw Dr. Dawn for three Webster sessions. She has an approachable friendly demeanor and I enjoyed coming to see her. At 36 weeks I was happy to report to her that my baby was in the head down position!

I threw out my upper back a week ago and although the pain was gone, I still felt unbalanced and misaligned. I haven’t been to a chiropractor in over 3 years because I moved and I always have trouble finding a gentle one. At the recommendation of a friend, I came in to see Dawn. She’s quick, gentle and most of the time I didn’t even know I was getting adjusted — and that’s a huge plus for me. Thanks for the great appointment.

I’ve been seeing Dawn for about 6 weeks now. She is so caring and wonderful. She has a great first time discount (awesome) and I’ve since found the monthly membership to be great because when I’ve had extra pain before my next visit, she will squeeze me in for a quick adjustment.

Found Dr. Dawn via Unilocal and had a great first time experience there!
I am pregnant and wanted to simply get adjusted and ready for the near birth of my baby.
I really had no pain or major complaints prior to going, however after she worked on me I could literally feel a difference from when I first walked in her door.
I was amazed at what just one time can do.
She is very personable and friendly and I look forward to continuing my care with her throughout the pregnancy and as needs arise afterwards!

As a childbirth educator and doula, I just have to review Dawn. She has made such a difference in my students lives. Sometime births are not always gentle as we hoped for. Babies necks get pulled and twisted and they have a hard time nursing and not crying due to what is sometimes an undiagnosed injury. When I send them to Dawn — she is able to adjust them so softly and end their discomfort. Babies nurse better, gain more weight and begin sleeping like a champ. I highly recommend all parents take babi8es in for an adjustment during the first week but especially if they have an issue breastfeeding or crying a lot. It will make all the difference!

I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Dawn Sandberg and recommend her highly.
Late into my third pregnancy, the baby was positioned in a way that caused tremendous sciatic pain in my hips, back, and legs. I was in so much pain that I could barely walk some days, but was in near constant pain. I am in good shape, exercise, and have no mobility issues ordinarily, but the late-​pregnancy pain during this pregnancy was debilitating.
One Sunday morning, I awoke to pain so intense I could barely stand up. My doctor’s office was closed for the weekend, so I visited Mary Birch triage where I was told the only solution was heavy pain relievers for the rest of my pregnancy – clearly, not a solution to the root problem. I did not want to take painkillers while pregnant if there were other alternatives that could, hopefully, eliminate the source of the pain. I could feel the baby’s head digging into my hip and pelvis, but the doctors at Mary Birch were not helpful in any solutions that may have helped move or turn the baby.
After my disappointing trip to Mary Birch, I found Dr. Dawn’s info through Unilocal.I had never seen a chiropractor before, but was desperate for any kind of relief. I called Dr. Dawn on a Sunday afternoon and set up an appointment for the following day. She actually even offered to see me the same day – but I was exhausted from the pain meds I was given at Mary Birch, so I decided to wait till the next day.
The following morning, I waddled into her office looking like a geriatric frog – I could barely walk. She examined me and could with just by looking and feeling my belly how the baby was positioned and explained very clearly how the position of the baby was putting pressure on certain areas of my hip and back. She adjusted me on the table and stretched out my legs. She was very professional and I was extremely comfortable the entire time. I did feel a few little pops in my hips as she adjusted me – they were not unpleasant at all – in fact, it felt like all of the pressure and pain was being released in the same way you would let air out of a tire. I instantly felt better. I think I skipped out of her office.
She mentioned that the baby might try to move a little bit based on the adjustment, but there was no guarantee – babies are unpredictable. Sure enough, within a few hours of my adjustment, the baby rolled around into a position that was significantly more comfortable for me.
I visited Dr. Dawn for several more appointments through the remainder of my pregnancy for adjustments to help get things back in line. I cannot explain how much it helped and how much relief the adjustments provided. My insurance did not cover my visits to Dr Dawn, but she worked with me to come up with a self-​pay price that was very reasonable and, to be honest, a steal of a deal considering the amount of relief she was providing. She was worth every penny.

I went to Dr. Dawn pregnant and in serious pain. I went to the the right place! She has been absolutely amazing. After our very first session she had me walking upright again and feeling ready to make it through the next few months of pregnancy. She has a very caring touch which is important to me as I am not accustomed to letting other people put their hands on me (other than my husband, obviously) She always puts me at ease and I spend all week looking forward to my next session with her. I can’t recommend her services enough especially for us pregnant ladies. So pregnant or not, if you need somebody with the true gift of healing hands, Dr. Dawn is the right person for the job!

Dr. Dawn Sandberg is amazing.
I had been suffering with a pain, due to PSD during my pregnancy for nearly 7 weeks. I have gone to other chiropractors with no relief and I had gotten to the point where I was starting to lose faith in my body and my whole pregnancy was becoming this painful issue for me.
In one session she treated me, and paid such close attention to where I was hurting, that I walked away with 90% improvement. I was so shocked. I got off the table and hugged her right away.
I have since referred my sister, best friend and another pregnant woman I know. Even if your not pregnant, she is such a breath of fresh air. She listens to you, treats you like a patient, not like another adjustment on a table. I love her personal touch and she makes me feel like I am getting the best possible care, and you can see she has a passion for what she does, and really really cares about people.
She also works with children, and you can see by the «I love you Dr. Dawn» posters on her wall that they feel the same way I do!!!

Our paths crossed by way of my husband in a totally different arena. It was by chance that he was able to put together the pieces and brought home Dr. Dawn’s card for me. I have had chiropractic care over the years and it is not something you take lightly when trying to find a new one.
Dr. Dawn has a wonderful energy and I felt comfortable with her the first time that I met her (and that’s a huge part of trusting the one who will be messing with your spine!) Caring and more concerned with your well being than trying to sucker you out of money. Regular appointments to emergency’s, Dr. Dawn has gone above and beyond to keep me straight :-)
Thank you for taking such great care of me physically and mentally!

Dr. Dawn Sanberg is the best in San Diego! She took my back pain away after only 1 appointment. She specializes in pregnant women so I send all my pregnant friends to her and they love her!

I started seeing Dr. Dawn during the third trimester of my third pregnancy. I had been to a chiropractor in my twenties when I was a teaching pro at a tennis club, and had a very positive experience.
My complaints going in were a lot of mid-​back pain as well as some RLS. She aligned my pelvis and alleviated my back pain quite a bit. I also noticed an enormous (positive) difference in my energy level, which has been wonderful! I am still seeing her regularly and plan to continue after I deliver.
Her office is pleasant, runs on time, and is very organized with respect to working with insurance and scheduling. My kids often accompany me to adjustments, and Dr. Dawn has plenty of toys to keep them occupied and is also very friendly and likable.
Highly recommended!

Dr. Dawn Sandberg is wonderful! First we saw her when I was pregnant; mainly because the baby was beech. The adjustments helped my back pain more than I had hoped. It was my 1^st time with a REAL chiropractor. While we didn’t succeed in turning my «stubborn» baby, I have found a great chiropractor.
Today, I went in after going to Kaiser over the weekend, their idea of treatment is CRAZY narcotics that make you sick. She adjusted me so that I could walk again. She also adjusted both my babies! Now, everyone is going to sleep well.

I originally went to see Dr. Dawn during my first pregnancy at her previous office because I was pregnant and had excruciating pain in my pubic bone area. It literally got so bad I could barely walk and needed help just getting out of bed. Worst pain I have ever felt! My regular Dr. just acted like this is normal «pregnancy» stuff, but THAT was NOT NORMAL! So I started investigating on the web and found out about PSD /​SPD (Symphisis Pubis Dysfunction). I was so excited to find out what it was and how to fix it, go see the Chiropractor! Not just any, but one that is Webster Technique Certified. I had already been seeing a Chiropractor for years but he didn’t know anything about it and seemed almost scared to adjust me because I was pregnant, so I searched San Diego and found Dr. Dawn. From the second I met her, she was family! Literally after one adjustment, I was 99% better! I didn’t know how much better until the next morning. When I woke up and hopped out of bed I just about cried! I was not able to do that in WEEKS! I was going to call her to thank her, but she actually called me first to see how I was doing. From that point on I just really had maintenance adjustments, and the pain never came back. I had a great rest of the pregnancy thanks to Dr. Dawn. She was there for me every step of the way. My mom now goes to see her and I am pregnant again so I know if I start to feel that same groin pain that Dr. Dawn will get me all fixed up again!

Dr Dawn Sandberg just joined this practice. She specializes in the Webster techinique and has helped me tremendously during my pregnancy so far. I have PSD, Pubic Symphosis Dysfunction, and I will wake up with shooting pain in my butt. It is debilitating and I thought it was sciatica but it’s not, it’s misalignment of my pelvis. I can’t go on enough about how Dr Dawn knows how to re-​align the pelvis and get me to a place where I am 99% better! I am so happy that I found her to help with my pregnancy! I trust her especially during this time where I feel like a regular chiropractor just doesn’t necessarily know enough about what happens during pregnancy to feel like they can manipulate me.
