I've been meaning to write this review for awhile. The longer it's been, the more effective,…read morelooking back, was the treatment I received from Sheri Russell and the Russell Center. I've had chronic achilles tendonosis in both feet for 15 years. Two rounds of electric shockwave therapy helped; constant physical therapy helped; but I was losing the battle and was really worried that my tennis and hiking days were just over. And I'm just in my late 60s -- unfair! But Sheri is that rare practitioner who is a problem-solver. After several rounds of shockwave therapy, she was puzzled that my feet weren't feeling better. I have been diagnosed with "haglund's deformity," which basically is calcium-deposit heel spurs on the back of my heels. Sheri suggested that these heel spurs were rubbing against the inside heel of my shoes, constantly irritating the tendons and not permitting them to heal. She rummaged in a closet, came up with some sticky protective wrap, cut out two "donuts," and suggested I wear them on my heel spurs for a few days. Presto. I went out and bought about 10,000 tiny pink callus cushion donuts and I wear one on each heel religiously every day. I have not had a bit of trouble with my achilles tendons ever since. I can't thank Sheri and her center enough. Perhaps my case was a strange kind of plumber's-fix -- but she was the one who came up with it and it has worked like magic. Whatever ails you, in the back and joint department, I encourage you to give these folks a try. They are true problem-solvers and medical engineers. And they're really nice people too! Can't ask for better than that. -- Andy C

My exasperation with the "official" medical establishment is one factor that led me here. TL;DR: turns out it's basically homeopathy, meaning lame, unconvincing sleight (and I mean VERY sleight) of hand combined with meaningless psychobabble. Along with two assistants, she went through a procedure that is supposed to find all the bad stuff your body has problems with: She has you hold your arm up and resist her pushing on it, while putting pressure on some part of the body or resting a bottle of some substance on your stomach. When something is "good," you "successfully" resist her pushing. When it's "bad", she waggles your arm back and forth too quickly for you to adjust and push back and says "that organ is weak." It's kind of like you're a human Ouija board, LOL. She kept asking if I understood if I "got it" how one thing was strong and one was weak based on this, and I said, "uh, not really, it just seems like you're changing how periodically you push and pull." She testily said "NO. If you don't get this, we can't continue." (and of course the payment has already cleared the bank) After a few minutes of this, I'm thinking "This is nonsense." I figured I would be polite and wait til they were done and then just never come back. I occasionally asked clarifying questions, and she seemed to think her answers had some kind of logic to them, but nothing she said made any sense. At over an hour in, it was getting difficult to not roll my eyes. She went through the same routine with the bottles of vitamins I brought with me. Presses bottle to my chest, waggles my arm. "Bad." Another bottle. Waggle. "Bad bad." She read the ingredients of my Vitamin C & Zinc bottle, telling me how bad it is, and then suggested I "give this to someone you hate." :o That's what you call "professional." Then she pulled out some "gene chart" that any layperson isn't going to know up from down, throws out some impressive terminology, and said we need to test my genes. It will take from 15m to an hour. "ANOTHER HOUR?" I said. "Well, only if your genes have problems." I am not a rude person, and do not like confrontation, but at that point I abruptly sat up and said "I need to go." I got up and went to put my shoes on and collect my belongings from the table near the door. "But, we're not--" I told her this was absolute BULLSHIT and walked out. The three of them stood there with mouths agape as if this has NEVER happened before. This is "health care" for the hard of thinking. The old phrase pops to mind: "Be open-minded, but not SO open-minded that your brains fall out." (LOL to the 4-star reviewer who seems to think they are being overly critical)

After 6 months of seeing Dr. Daigle and his team at Central Street Chiropractic, I can say I feel…read morelike a new person. I started seeing them in late January with chronic neck and upper back pain. Both chiropractors developed a plan that was aimed to fix my injury and correct years of damage. We started with daily exercises, traction, laser therapy and adjustments 3 times a week. By March, I was sleeping better, I noticed more energy at the gym, I was able to workout longer and we were down to visits twice a week. By April, I had minimal pain, and in May, I officially went to maintenance visits. I can now say after 2 months of maintaining, I am pain free. I can finally sleep comfortably through the night, and able to make it through an entire shift without an ache or thought of my neck and back. They have helped me correct years of terrible posture and bad back behaviors so I can live a comfortable life! Dr. Daigle, Dr. Bill, Katie, Janet, and Carol, thank you for your patience and always making me feel like I was the only patient in the office. You all went above and beyond. I cannot thank you enough!

I decided to try a chiropractor because I suffer from migraines. I found Central Street…read moreChiropractic because it was close to me, and I didn't realize there was more than one chiropractic office downtown. During my first visit, I wasn't charged a copay, which seemed unusual. When I asked about it, I was told we would discuss billing at my next appointment. At my second visit, I noticed that the receptionist didn't greet patients; instead, you're expected to sign in on a sheet and wait. After meeting with the chiropractor, he explained my condition and recommended a treatment plan of 24 sessions. My insurance covers 12 visits, and I was comfortable with the costs he outlined: $40 copays for the covered visits and $55 per visit for the 12 sessions not covered by insurance. The issue arose when I was told that all visits had to be prepaid in large lump sums. For the first 12 visits, I would need to pay $480 upfront, split into two payments of $240. After those visits were completed, I would then be billed another $660 for the remaining 12 sessions, also divided into two lump-sum payments. I was told this was the practice's policy. In all my experiences with medical providers, including physical therapy, I have never been required to prepay for future appointments. The arrangement felt unusual, so while the chiropractor stepped out of the room, I looked it up and found information suggesting that requiring patients to prepay for extensive treatment plans can be considered a predatory practice. Whether it's due to their billing procedures or office policy, I was not comfortable paying for care before receiving it. I informed the chiropractor that I would not be moving forward with treatment and would seek care elsewhere. He simply reiterated that it was office policy and wished me luck. What makes the experience stand out even more is that earlier that day, I had accidentally walked into another chiropractic office, Greater Lowell Chiropractic, thinking it was where my appointment was scheduled. After leaving Central Street Chiropractic, I went back to Greater Lowell Chiropractic and asked how they handle billing. They explained that patients pay as they go, which is what I would normally expect from a healthcare provider. The difference in customer service was also noticeable. At Greater Lowell Chiropractic, I was greeted when I walked in, and they even offer parking validation. After my experience at Central Street Chiropractic, I was very impressed with the professionalism and patient-friendly approach at Greater Lowell Chiropractic.
