I've been coming here for years, actually over a decade at this point. Dr. Dennis Hall has been…read moretaking care of me and my families' back, shoulder, and neck issues for as long as I can remember. The way I see it is there are two types of Chiropractors: the ones that fix you up just enough to keep coming back, and ones that truly fix the problem, Dr. Hall is the latter.
I went in late last week for the first time in over a year, really messed my neck up, like to the point I was driving around with one of those airplane travel pillows that surround your neck just to keep it supported enough to drive. The constant driving between Charlotte, Statesville, and Asheville over the last two week probably did help matters, but regardless of the cause, the solution was a no-brainer for me. I called the office and Misty scheduled me a same-day appointment for that afternoon. Check-in is a breeze and I was in an exam room in about five minutes.
After a quick update-questionnaire from the RN, Dr. Hall took a look at things and quickly diagnosed "lateralization" on both sides of my neck (don't ask me, I just come for the relief!). Another RN came in to do some electro-therapy on the stiff muscles around my neck and shoulder, followed by an adjustment by Dr. Hall with what I can only call a precision hammer to move your bones around. Don't let the "electro-therapy" scare you, it just stimulates the muscles that the machine is applied to and they will adjust the intensity (and therefore the time) based on your comfort level. I always go as high as the technician is willing to go, which stimulates the muscles so much, that my arms will start involuntarily moving around! I wouldn't exactly call it a fun feeling, but it is an interesting one, and knowing that it's loosening those muscles up is more than enough to ease my mind.
So here I am after the holiday weekend, when before I was ready to simply chop my neck right off, I'm now sitting at my desk complete upright and pain-free! I don't come often, and that's because Dr. Hall does you right! I'm sure there are patients that come in with more chronic issues than mine, and they may require more visits, but I'm fortunate that over the years, I've always had a one-visit adjustment anytime I've needed it.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Hall to anyone suffering from chronic pain. Chiropractic Therapy isn't an end-all answer to everything, but it is exactly what works for me when I'm feeling sore.
