I was experiencing chronic pain (level 5-10) in my trapezius muscles, deltoids, levator scapulae,…read morescms, sub-occipital region, rotator cuffs, and not to mention having daily headaches and was referred to Dr. Cori by Wiseman Family Practice. I saw Dr. Cori for a handful of times, if that, and after being told that I "need to stop thinking of my body as a problem, something that needed to be fixed and focus on something else", I decided to stop going.
First of all, What??! Are you kidding me? I agreed to pay you, Dr. Cori, $75.00 to help me get out of pain by "aligning" what needs to be aligned, so telling me to stop trying to fix my body as though I don't have anything wrong with it is unbelievably offensive. Then you had the unmitigated gall to state that I am the one perpetuating my own pain by holding on to negative emotions. Way to victimize your patients, Dr. Cori. You should know that anyone who is dealing with chronic pain is being emotionally beaten down every second of the day, so you telling someone that is actually quite abusive.
On a side note, I thought it was very unprofessional of her to tell me to buy her friend's program, Mama Strong, because it would help me, or when she referred me to a retreat that I later Googled to find out she is the chiropractor for the retreat. All of these things really make me question if she understands the body, trigger points or even pain. She seems to think it is all generated from the mind.
After leaving Dr.Cori's "expertise" and seeking help elsewhere, where I had x-rays, and scans done on my cervical spine, I was diagnosed with a fracture in my c-3, a bulging disc, facet joint syndrome, and arthritis. Apparently, these diagnoses cause pain, and for me extreme muscle spasms. Hmmm. I guess you were right, Dr. Cori. I was causing my own pain, and just needed to stop "holding on". Now that I have actually had proper medical care, my chronic pain is being effectively managed; what a relief. Full disclosure: I decided I should write this review as a way to release the negative emotions experienced under Dr. Cori's care, you know, as way to re-balance my Chi and "let go".
