Started with CORE about 2 years ago when I first moved to Houston. Dr Hurtig has been my doctor…read moreand has kept my lower back issues in check. He offers great advice on ways to stay healthy, through good nutrition and exercises. Now that I am leaving the area, he made the effort to put me in touch with a chiropractor in my new area to continue the excellent care that CORE Chiropractic has given me. An added bonus is the excellent team of front desk gals and guys. Always friendly and welcoming.

I'm very disappointed with this location now. I've been going since 2020. I have a number of…read moreorthopedic issues including my cervical and lumbar spine, knees, shoulders, and other joints. I don't like my interactions with Dr. West. I do not think I have been treated with the care and compassion I deserve. Dr. West has made several dismissive and invalidating remarks during my visits. He seems annoyed and frustrated when I arrive and asks each time I come what's going on. Now, they have X-rays, charts, and other documentation regarding my injuries. He says this as if he has no idea what my problem are. When I tell him the areas that are bothering me, which typically are the same every visit, he seems annoyed. He asks if I'm making changes at work and doing my exercises. To which I reply. But the questions are more judgmental than inquisitive, because when I give him specific details he hardly ever remembers. His tone is condescending and passive aggressive. For instance, in 2022, during one of our first visits, I was having shoulder pain. I have shoulder injuries. When I told him he told me "you need to put some ice on it!" in a very short and dismissive way as if I was a child. I did not deserve that. Also, what he did not know, is that I have multiple tears in my rotator cuff, and a Slap tear and other issues due to being a volleyball player. He had no idea what the actual condition of my shoulder was. Ice alone was not going to fix my shoulder pain, instead I went to my orthopedic surgeon and completed physical therapy. This is just one of many examples where he said something dismissive, despite not having all the facts and assuming I am not doing anything to help myself. Finally, I had to explain to him that his remarks are not ok and that I'm doing the best I can with the time I have. I explained that I do rehab for my various body parts nearly every day, but I still cannot get to each area. Rehabbing my body is like a part-time job at this point. Also, I explained that the reason why I come to get adjusted every two weeks is to manage my health as much as possible, but not to be made fully whole as this is not reasonable for me. However, he was still annoyed. It seems like he was trying to convince me to stop coming for adjustments because he did not like the lack of progress. This is not his decision to make, but mine. It is wrong to try to force me to think a certain way because he is annoyed. My various conditions are treatable, but not necessarily reversible. Some of my issues are due to specific genetic and anatomical issues. To top it off, when I explained to him my plans after speaking to my orthopedic surgeon recently, he dismissed what the surgeon said and instead argued with me about having a neck curve. Again, not an appropriate thing to say and further proof that he seems to think that I am not worthy of compassion. Moreover, the doctor actually looked at my current X rays, wherein Dr. West has not seen an x ray of my neck since I started. I do not think his behavior is professional and I'm disappointed that this kind of treatment is tolerated. Update: I spoke to the owner, and I appreciate him speaking to me. However, he spent more time invalidating my experiences instead of listening. He said Dr.West is from the East Coast and that's why he comes across the way he does. He asked me if I'm from Houston. I've lived all over. I'm from Houston but I haven't lived here in an awhile. My job is based in DC. Being from the east coast is not a reason to be rude. Cutting me off and telling me that I didn't see what I saw is not ok. He said he's just trying to get an understanding of my goals. I told him what my goals were, and I explained that when I first started seeing them. I have no problem explaining my goals. But explaining your goals and where you are doesn't matter if no one is listening. By far the worst chiropractic experience I've ever had. No I would not recommend this place.

I took some time to try to find another chiropractor in the area after moving from the suburbs and…read morefollowed Core Chiropractic since they were approved by my insurance. Was able to make a same day appointment quickly which should have been my first red flag, but gave it a try. As a previous reviewer mentioned, they completed an exam and lots of xrays. Initially I was overcharged to my copay which I asked the doctor about to which she referred me to the front desk. After all the X-rays and exam, I was set up for an appointment for the next day. Before leaving, I was asked to fill out an assessment for insurance which I have never done at previous chiropractors. I had some concerns with the insurance and contacted my carrier after I got home and I was covered for 20 sessions a year, so I thought great, haven't used any for this year so I should be good. Fast forward to the next day and I arrive for my first treatment and to receive my treatment plan. I was met by the doctor with X-rays which she was thorough in explaining and that my treatments would cost close to $2,000 over the course of 8 or 9 weeks. The costs included lots of "machines" which aren't covered by insurance and in my opinion don't do the same as chiropractor using all forms of treatment in a treatment room. I was set up on two machines by a front desk worker which was odd in my opinion. One machine was quite painful in my lower back where I had shared with the team that I had fusion in 2019. I should have never been put into treatment that would impact that area of my spine. My appointments were made for me and I received a text from the office. I replied and stated that I had some concerns and would not be returning. They stated that my office visits were limited by insurance, which I called again and all 20 were approved and that if I needed more that Dr. West would request them, which I have never met or have any clue who this is. Overall atmosphere is good, but be prepared to be used as a cash cow. Needless to say, haven't and won't be back.

Dr. Wu is professional yet kind and charismatic, he wears a genuine smile and he's such a pleasure to talk to. He makes you feel comfortable and at ease removing any anxiety one may have with the thought of acupuncture. I have now returned for a new issue after all of these years. Dr. Wu remembered me and he was the same as I remembered him. He assessed me and confirmed my suspicion of sciatica. After the assessment, he honestly told me that sciatica is hard to treat but he would work on me. He suggested a treatment of cupping and acupuncture. I agreed and am pleased with the result of lessened pain and the ability to walk without feeling the shooting pain from my lower back down my leg. Dr. Wu suggested 3 treatments total and I'm looking forward to seeing him again soon. I'll be back with an update after my next visit .

He told me, "That stuff's amazing! The best guy I know is on Shepherd..." I cut him off for both of us to harmonize, "Dr. Wu!!!" And then we had a moment, mainly with him saying, "I told you so..." I have multiple autoimmune diagnoses which were causing my entire body to stop working properly. I was at a point where I was almost completely disabled. Dr. Wu is nothing short of a miracle for me. This review is overdue but it's hard not to write a book here, so I'll be brief. I went in for something small, not expecting much. But 4 months later, I had gotten my life back. I have many things that I have to do to keep my autoimmune disorder in check, but acupuncture is the one thing that I cannot do without. And when I went in, it was for foot and tailbone pain, not autoimmune issues. I want to reiterate: I went in with no idea what would happen. Two weeks of appointments, the incredible progress started, systemwide. A few months later, I still don't know what happened. But, when I don't go, I can literally feel the pain and lethargy crawl back. I respond well to acupuncture. You may not get the results that I did. But, if you're not responding well to traditional medicine and have chronic nagging issues (inflammation, pain, malabsorption, mysterious diagnoses), I suggest you try acupuncture with Dr. Wu for at least a month, preferably two. You may find that you get your life back, too.

I had a massive strain in my neck and mid back and couldn't turn my neck in either direction…read more I've been to many chiropractors and although some provide relief, none have provided a more long lasting permanent solution to my back issues. They started off with heat therapy to warm my muscles, then carefully stretched out my mid back and neck. The heat helped to calm down my muscle spasm and provided immediate relief. After the heat and stretch, they massage any knots out of the problem area and no joke, it felt like my back was already back to normal after that. They didn't stop there though. The chiro adjusted my spine to make sure I'm completely aligned and won't have issues once my muscles cool down. Then they recognize that you probably have inflammation in the area, so they provide you cold and compression therapy.
