A little over two months ago, I took a nasty fall off my bike onto a concrete driveway, causing major injury to my left arm, hand and two fingers, both of which were scraped hard enough to see down to the bone. Fortunately, I was close to home when it happened and was able to rapidly stop the profuse bleeding by packing the wounded fingers with Dr. Schulze's Cayenne Powder and applying band aids.
After a few days, when some of the shock had worn off, I began to assess the damage. Though my fingers were heavily taped, my hand massively swollen and my left arm barely able to move, I didn't think that anything was broken. At least I was hoping so, based what I read on numerous forums and various sites across the internet.
Within a week or so, the deep gashes on fingers were healing up nicely, but the hand was still pretty puffy and my arm movement was quite painful, with an extremely limited range of motion. At this point, I realized that some sort of therapy was going to be necessary. But with no job and no insurance, a doctor's care was not in the cards. So I started researching local chiropractors and physical therapists, hoping to find someone who was both good and affordable.
Fortunately, I came across Dr. Hirsa on Yelp. After looking over the Chirowithin Reach website, which lists an impressive array of advanced healing modalities, I gave the office a call. Coincidentally, Dr. Hirsa happened to answer the phone. I told him what had happened and he said that was sure that he could help me. He said he would do a full evaluation on the first visit and we would go from there. Though his office does not do x-rays on site, he had a friend who he could refer me to, if x-rays were needed.
Of course, cost was a major concern, so when informed that the first visit was only $65 for cash customers, I made an appointment for the very next day. As soon as I met Dr. Hirsa and his wonderful assistant Jenna, I knew that I had been guided to the right place.
The initial exam was very thorough and after multiple tests with regard to the injured areas, Dr. Hirsa agreed with my self-assessment that I had not fractured anything. He estimated that it might take anywhere between three to six months to regain full functioning. Much longer without some form of physical therapy. He then outlined a treatment protocol which included chiropractic, electro-stim, ultrasound, low-level laser and Advanced Release Technique... taking the time to patiently explain the benefits of each.
I have now seen Dr. Hirsa twice a week (at just $40 per visit) for past eight weeks and have made tremendous progress. My arm, which after the fall was neither strong nor flexible enough to even brush my teeth, is now about 95% better. The hand remains a little sore and the two injured fingers are just beginning to bend as they should, but I have no doubt that they will eventually come around too.
Overall, I am extremely pleased with the care I've received and have already referred three friends. Having been to numerous chiropractors over the past 25 years, I can honestly say that Dr. Hirsa is not your typical "bone cracker". His in-depth knowledge of anatomy and thorough understanding of the holistic nature of the human body, far exceeds any other chiropractor I have visited. Plus Dr. Hirsa has been quite supportive of my own between-visit rehab efforts, freely answering questions and offering advice on how to best augment the in-office treatments.
Whether you need just a quick spinal alignment or are dealing with a serious physical condition, know that you will be in very good hands with Dr. Hirsa and Chirowithin Reach. read more
