As a chiropractic office, this one was a complete waste of my time. I had a total of three visits (so spent a little over $180) and had absolutely no relief.
For my first visit (Monday) I explained that my neck was out with pain on the right hand side and my upper back was out with pain on the left-hand side. He adjusted my neck fine and then adjusted my back saying that it was on the right hand side. I questioned saying that it did not feel like it was on the right hand side that it definitely felt like it was on the left-hand side. He did not re-examine me he just said no it was fine. I left, but realized very quickly that it was not fine. It had not adjusted appropriately. There was no relief in my upper back and it still pulled as I moved like there had been no adjustment.
For my second visit (Thursday) I very firmly stated that my left upper back was causing a lot of pain and had steadily declined since my visit on Monday and it had not been corrected at all during my visit on Monday. He did a lying-on-my-back adjustment which moved very well. It did feel like it was in alignment when I left. No additional therapies or muscle release was done on my back. After I left, I was getting out of the car and I felt it slip back out of place. It had been in place for 15 minutes and that was it. I feel like muscle release should have been done to stop the muscles from pulling it immediately back out of alignment.
For my third visit (Monday) I explained that it had adjusted well previously, however it had gone back out within 15 minutes of me leaving. I asked if there were muscle release techniques that he could do to prevent that from happening this time. He said that I could do ultrasound therapy. He did the same lying-on-my-back adjustment as he had done previously, but this time it did not adjust as well as it had previously. This is not surprising because I was going on over a week of the muscles being completely tense and locked up and no muscle release was done prior to the adjustment. After the adjustment, I moved around a little while he was still in the room and I could feel that it was not an alignment. I advised him of this and he said no it was fine. I reiterated that it was not in alignment and did not feel like it was fine. He once again said that it was fine and sent me to go and get ultrasound therapy. He did not re-examine me, he didn't actually examine me at all that time. He literally did the lying-on-my-back adjustment, and then adjusted my neck. I had the ultrasound therapy, which I don't think did anything. During my ultrasound therapy I expressed frustration that my back had not been put back into alignment, and that it still felt like it was out. The person doing the therapy did not follow up on this, make any comments, assist me in anyway. I was then checking out and paying and the front desk girl asked how it felt. I explained that it had not gone in, that it was still out, that the issue was not resolved. I must have sounded very frustrated at that point because the Chiropractor overheard and said, "Well I can take you back and examine you again if you would like." At that point, I had to go pick my kids up from school and honestly, I shouldn't have to get to that level of frustration for the Chiropractor to examine me.
The location was convenient, the front desk person was friendly, the dog is very sweet. But don't waste your time. read more
