Common Ground

My gf and I got the groupon and have to strongly disagree with the negative reviews. The staff is extremely friendly and easy to talk with. While I found the video a bit unnecessary, the rest of the assessments were very thorough. i'm a bit of a skeptic but my girlfriend has had lots of chiro done, so it was helpful to go WITH someone else and see their results too. While I didn't have serious pain, the posture analysis and weight distribution clearly showed an imbalance and increase in tension in my left side. The clinic provided FREE x rays for me and a discount for my gf. Their analysis of my back was totally consistent with what another chiropractor had told me. My girlfriend was able to see in her x rays the source of her chronic neck pain; an obviously reversed curvature from normal. The massage was excellent. My adjustment was my first, and had a clear effect on my head/neck, and digestive tract. I didn't know what to expect, but I am definitely interested in continuing treatment. Chiro as preventative health care makes a lot of sense compared to only treating problems after the fact. we even got a follow up phone call later in the day of our adjustment to see how we were faring. Considering that these folks only got half of the $49 from groupon, the level of service was absolutely outstanding. I'll definitely visit again.

This is the first time that I've ever been interested enough to write a review, and sadly it's for a negative reason. I went here because of a Groupon that I purchased, expecting to get an adjustment and a massage. I even upgraded my massage to an hour, and was feeling optimistic. The "chiropractic session" was like nothing I've ever seen- I was subjected to a variety of bizarre tests involving weight, angles, and my ability to raise my legs when lying on my back. I also had to take my clothes off for an electrode analysis of the tension in my spine, and then I didn't even get an adjustment. I came in with no complaints (other than a need for a massage due to normal daily stress), but was told that it was possible that I was carrying pain from my birth, was holding stress from 5 years ago based on the "rings" in my neck, and that it would be a good idea to get x-rays of my spine despite being in no pain. I've heard the stereotype for years that chiropractors tell you that you need to come back forever even if things are fine, but I've never actually experienced one. Now, not only have I, but there was even a pamphlet in the lobby about why I should return even if I feel ok. The best analogy I could come up with was a snake oil salesman from the 20's. Do yourself a favor, go somewhere else for your adjustment. You should definitely go grab one of the pamphlets, though- my friends got a huge kick out of it. To be fair, the massage was lovely, which is the reason they get 2 stars rather than 1.
