As someone who works on a computer full time for my job, I suffer from overuse injuries in my hands, forearms, shoulders, and neck. This is an unfortunate side effect of my job. Other than leaving my job, I have to seek outside care/assistance in mitigating my pain.
I've visited many different chiropractors in the last 25 years (been going since I was about 12 years old). I've been fortunate to have always found chiropractors that are well educated and know how to treat patients.
I believe Dr Menner and Dr Allen run the best office I have ever been to for treatment.
1) They are on-time. Unfortunately, many chiropractors are consistently running late. I appreciate that most run on very slim staffs, often are the only doctor in the office, and want to offer proper care to their patients (ie not rushing), but this often means long waits in the waiting room. I have never had to wait more than a couple minutes to be seen. Generally, by the time I finish signing in and just sit down someone is ready to see me. When they bringing you into the treatment room, there is no additional waiting. They start working on you immediately. After the initial massage therapy (more on that later), you may have a few minutes of relaxing on the table, but generally the Dr comes in within a few minutes. Personally, I enjoy the extra few minutes to do some deep breathing and relaxing.
2) As mentioned above, ever visit you have the option of about 30 minutes of initial massage therapy. They will work on whatever areas will be treated. This helps ensure that your soft tissue is treated along with your bones. They are NOT just a "snap, crackle, and pop" type of office. The total treatment does take 45-60 minutes, but if you are rushed you can elect to just be adjusted.
3) The staff is extremely kind and they all seem to really enjoy their work and the work environment.
4) If you ask, they work with you to understand your insurance coverage and your out of pocket costs.
5) The visit is fully eligible for coverage by my insurance (obviously this varies according to your own insurance). read more
