I've dwelled on posting this negative review for months. And I've come to the conclusion that it's better to warn other patients like me. I have fibromyalgia which is a chronic pain disorder. It causes pain in muscle & joints & frequently causes big knots in many muscles. I told this chiropractor many times about it. He claimed to treat lots of patients with fibromyalgia. And he said he knew a lot about it. He attempted suggesting vitamins, all of which I was taking. Asked me if I knew to restrict certain foods, I already was. But other than that he took no care or consideration on how his treatments would affect my pain levels. He never asked if a new treatment would impact my plans in the upcoming week.
He wanted to schedule me twice a week. For a fibro patient, I've since learned that this is quite detrimental to my entire wellbeing. Any time I tried to put off an appointment or skip scheduling it, they acted like I was neglecting my treatment. So instead of guilt, I thought maybe he could help me faster with just a little more pain. I could try that. Oh no.
I had to explain how my previous Chiropractor adjusted my neck. He wouldn't do it. I went back in tears one day after the adjustment because he hadn't gotten my neck adjusted & it hurt worse. He still wouldn't change his method. Then I figured I wasn't explaining it well. I had my previous Chiropractor call him & explain how to adjust my neck. Guess what. He still refused to change his method or angle to help me in any way shape or form & somehow decided it was better to leave me in pain. I guess Chiropractors don't take the Hippocratic Oath?
I had to purchase a package deal, so I used up the rest of my appointments just living with nerves so badly pinched that my ears turned bright red, and at the end of Dr Wing's treatment, my face had started turning red and splotchy halfway through the day, things were turning very bad under his care and he wouldn't change with feedback from me, the patient, and not even from his colleague, my previous Chiropractor. I couldn't go back to my previous Chiropractor because I had to move out of state.
At the end of my treatment with him, he decided he should put pressure on knots in my shoulder muscles to release them & help adjustments. Except doing that left my shoulders & arms crippled & in intense pain for 2 weeks. I still have trouble with my shoulders & it's been 6 months.
So, if you have chronic pain. Don't see Dr Wing. He isn't open to feedback or change based on what your needs are. He goes only by his book & everyone else is wrong. He has no clue, or care or consideration for what his random treatment choices will leave on someone with chronic pain. And he definitely has no idea what fibromyalgia really is. If he did, he might have given a thought about what a different treatment might do to me & impact me for weeks and months. But he will tell you he does know your chronic pain disorder. He probably just read an article about fibro & vitamins. But he has no clue on how it affects muscle, tissue, or bone.
When I canceled my last appointment, there was no empathy from them when I told them why I couldn't go back. This Chiropractor left me in more pain than I have ever been in with fibromyalgia before.
Don't even bother with him unless you're in otherwise perfect health & just need a Chiropractor.
Update as if 9/27/2019:
I've been done with this chiropractor for over a year & my current chiropractor is still trying to help fix the bone & muscle damage caused by this man. Stay away from this chiropractor. read more
