Hayes was personally manipulative, threatening me with all sorts of damage to my health if I didn't follow his plan. He did the same with other people I know, building up huge copays for one of them.

I have been to other chiropractors, but something about the combination of Dr. Hayes's "magic adjustment table" and the Graston technique, which uses metal tools to get deep into your muscles, to relieve the pain from muscle knots in my shoulders has been the pain relief I've been looking for. He treats the whole patient, making you calm with chit chat while you wait. He does a heat and stim. Treatment to complete the appointment, which always leaves me feeling relaxed and calm. The waiting room has a massage chair, which allows you to maximize your wait time. I have referred all my broken friends to him to repair and everyone that has entered his office has come back with a positive report. If you are looking for whole body care, then this is your chiropractor!

On January 6, 2022 I slipped on the ice while at work falling backwards suffering a torn meniscus,…read morelarge collateral ligament tear, femoral and bicep contusions. I met with Dr. Upham initially who discovered problems very quickly and immediately began addressing them. She has been very caring and concerned for my well being. It took seven weeks to go through the process of having an MRI and scheduling the surgery that needed to be conducted. Dr. Piers performed the surgery at Spectrum Ortho in Portland. I returned to Bayside for Physical Therapy a few weeks following surgery. Ashley is my PT who I see three times a week since my surgery. Ashley has had her plate full as the surgery did very little to correct the pain and discomfort. She has been nothing less than sensational, very attentive, caring and extremely observant. It's like having a sixth sense, knowing there's an issue with my posture or gate, calling attention to it and then addressing it. Due to the extent of my injuries I will likely be a work in progress for both Ashley and Dr. Upham for the foreseeable future. this time around has been much better than my previous experience with Dr.Glass a few years back who I found her to be very condescending and actually quite rude. through the years I have had three PTs. Ashley is by far the best. She is truly an asset to the team and deserves to be commended for all that she does. FOOTNOTE; The same can also be said for Andrew who comes in daily and is always at the top of his game.

Dr. Jane Glass is paid by workman's comp to discredit the employee injury whether it's legit or…read morenot. Six doctors and neurologists before I saw her had a litany of concerns about me and pointed out long-term issues I would suffer. Even though I saw 6 doctors already, workman's comp requested for me to see Dr. Glass. Dr. Glass attempted to mock me, asked if I had a lawyer and tried to discredit my injuries. Some issues were unbeknownst to me and diagnosed by a neurologist. I was found 100% disabled after seeing her, which was 8 years ago. If she is an upstanding/credible doctor, why was I found to be 100% disabled? All of the specialists, doctors and neurologists I have seen since Dr. Glass have the same concerns as the first 6 doctors. She is the only doctor, if that's what you can call her, out of over a dozen doctors who failed to see the medical concerns. That makes her a fraud. She behaved unprofessionally and in an unethical manner. If workman's comp requests for you to go see her, deny and request an unbiased doctor instead.

And without even searching the musculature immediately found where the pain was. He built a schedule for me that ramps down. Unlike a lot of other chiropractors, they aren't looking for me to be a patient forever; they want to get me feeling better. And 5 weeks in I'm walking better than I have in years. I cannot recommend this office enough.

There is no working wi-fi for customers or staff; they don't have a working printer or fax machine; their billing program no longer works because they refuse to upgrade from Windows 7 to the latest, Windows 11; they do not maintain their office, so the stairs up to their second floor are rickety and difficult during rain or snow.

Dr. Lou and his practice have been a game changer for me. I have had chronic back pain for at least…read more7 years and just before moving to Portland found out that I had the beginnings of a bone spur and other serious structural back issues that needed to be addressed. I tried a different chiropractor in Portland and they did a very simple assessment, and their diagnosis was that I was healthy and just needed routine upkeep?! I then went to Dr. Lou and was so impressed by and grateful for such an extensive assessment process. His process involved a postural screen, a measurement of muscle tension throughout my spine and nerve compression my spine, but also taking into account everything I had to self report. He took a look at the x ray from my previous doctor and spent a long time reviewing the results with me, discussing it from both a scientific and holistic approach. He made plenty of time to answer my many questions. He created a treatment plan for the next 3 months at which point we would re-evaluate. I have noticed such a difference! I remember when I first starting seeing him I would get up from the table and be amazed at the lack of pain in my neck and back. The feeling at first would only last for a few minutes, but as I continued treatment this lack of pain would last longer and longer after each office visit. Now a year and a half later I just occasionally come in. The front office staff couldn't be nicer or more helpful, Dr. Lou is fantastic, and they also offer acupuncture and I've had several great deep tissue massages here. Finally, both of my parents who live out of state were having major back issues and were planning on each having second surgeries on their spines. I asked Dr. Lou how he talks to people who are skeptical about chiropractic medicine and he gave me some incredibly helpful tips for how to approach the topic in an effort to encourage my folks to try a less invasive option before more follow-up surgery. His tips worked and my skeptical parents feel better and are able to be active again after only 3 months of chirpo and PT instead of being in recovery from another surgery. I deeply appreciated Dr. Lou taking the extra time to give me his insight (he even offered to review their cases/information!). My last favorite thing - he's a music lover and always has great music playing :). I highly recommend Dr. Lou!

I thought my only option for relief was surgery of which I had heard dire results. I read about decompression therapy and was relieved to see that there was an alternative to surgery. The doctor's at Maine Spine & Nerve took a thorough physical and oral examination including x-rays. The diagnosis indicated that I was a candidate for decompression therapy. At no time did they guarantee a cure, but given my condition, they had seen others with similar injuries who had relief and returned to normal daily activities after decompression therapy. They did indicate verbally and in writing that I was also responsible for working within their care guidelines in order to maximize the recovery efforts. Today, I am out of pain, able to sit comfortably, returning to a light exercise routine, and starting physical therapy. In closing, I am so thankful that I went this route instead of surgery. Thank you, Dr. Van Ploeg, Dr. Mueller and staff.

He did spinal injections which did not last more than a month. after NSSD the tingling and pain in his right leg and thigh is gone and has been gone for at least six months. He can do things now that he was unable to perform last spring. I have multiple problems. My first concern was neuropathy and I sought relief through Maine Spine & Nerve. From the get-go, Dr. Vander Ploeg informed me that he could help but because I'd suffered for so many years with this condition, I could expect only partial relief. He said a 40-50% reduction in symptoms and I feel that I achieved at least 60% if not more relief. I also suffer from back pain. I have been referred to orthopedic physicians for injections and physical therapists for physical therapy. I went to an acupuncturist. Nothing helped. Because of the success my husband has experienced, I know that Maine Spine & Nerve will be able to reduce my current pain. Further, some insurances do cover the cost of these treatments. Unfortunately, ours was not one of them. Would I recommend Maine Spine & Nerve to any of my friends? You bet! I already have. You couldn't ask for or find a more friendly, congenial and caring environment. Thank you Dr. V, Dr. Meuller and staff. Elsie and Harold Cebulla
