First, I want to assure folks out there who might be a bit frightened about chiropractors who snap or crack the spine or neck of their patients, well none of that occurred during my visit, at least not for my particular issue. This facility seems to have lots of other methods of helping based upon my experience there today. Here's how it started: I spent an entire Saturday night with my shoulder blade in agonizing pain - no real reason, just a combo of lazy posture and getting old I suppose, yay. And the best (worst) part was a dreadful presumption that the suffering would continue until Monday because no one is ever open on Sunday, right? Between playing hockey and doing Crossfit, I'm normally a pretty tough cookie, but when I finally ran out of tears Sunday morning, I tried searching Yelp for chiropractors using the "open now" feature then braced myself for inevitable doom. The first pleasant surprise was finding that Dr. J's listing showed up, and the next was when Dr. J personally answered the phone!! I'm sure he was busy doing other things at that moment, but he spent fifteen quality minutes discussing the possible reasons and the source of my pain. He advised me to try a few home remedy exercises (the "chin tuck") then call him back in two hours. Ready for a bit more shock and awe? He's the one who called ME back to check on my progress!! I had only slightly improved from feeling a thousand knives stabbing my scapula to nine hundred ninety-nine so he told me to come on in. His office was clean and organized. He spent an hour and fifteen minutes using an ultrasound machine on my shoulder (completely painless) and also used what I call the "Electric Muscle Earthquake Maker." He patiently and gently began the process, allowing me some time to acclimate to the eery twitching for a bit before raising it to the next level (it was never painful, just a strange sensation). Then he demonstrated some more stretches and exercises and carefully explained that I shouldn't expect to be cured right away, in fact it may be a bit more sensitive before it gets better. He was right. The short drive home was rough, but I did everything he said and now I'm down to about forty-six stabbers in my scapula. Because it was Sunday, he couldn't verify whether or not my insurance plan would be accepted but he graciously agreed to send them the bill first and if there was a problem, then he would contact me. He also said I should call him in a few days to possibly schedule another appointment because he estimated that it may take two or three sessions before the attempted shoulder murderers are all gone. read more
