Three months ago, I decided to go to Madeira Chiropractic due to some pain in my hip. I had never been to a chiropractor before and I was not completely sure what to expect. I assumed that a chiropractor just cracked different parts of your body to alleviate pain. I was definitely wrong. From my very first appointment, I was shown that chiropractic care is so much more. Dr. Kayla took x-rays of my spine and explained exactly what chiropractic care is. She went into detail as to why a properly aligned spine is so important for your overall health and wellness. During my second appointment, Dr. John showed me my x-rays and pointed out the subluxations I have in my spine. He also explained how each subluxation may be affecting me. Then he gave me the treatment plan they were going to take to resolve my issues. It was really cool to look at my x-rays and see where my pain was coming from. After my first adjustment, Dr. John gave me his personal cell phone number so I could call him if I had any questions or concerns. Later that night, I received a phone call from him asking if I was feeling okay after my adjustment. I never expected him to do that. Dr. John and Dr. Kayla definitely go above and beyond which is on par with how everything is done in this office. I really feel like I matter as a patient and that I'm in the hands of doctors who care. read more

My husband and I have been going to Madeira Chiropractic for over six years now and we've never had a bad experience! We started going there when I was pregnant with our firstborn because my midwife recommended getting chiropractic care for sciatica. We even take our children there for appointments! Whenever someone, in the central Pennsylvania, says they're in need of chiropractic care, we highly recommend Madeira's Chiropractic and Wellness! read more

Dr Kayla helped me immensely during my pregnancy; I had increased low back & hip / sacral pain in my 3rd trimester & her care was the only thing that helped lower my pain on a daily basis! I continued postpartum care for wellness & now I'm finally back to walking 2-4 miles per day pain-free. Highly recommend! Office staff is incredibly wecoming & text appointment reminders are so helpful! read more

I have to say Jordan at the Front desk is amazing. She Knows everyone by name and makes you feel at home, and they are very nice people but I felt like I was being up sold everytime I went in. They can be aggressive sales team, but minus the sales pitch they have a fast paced practice. read more

Having moved to Pa 2 years ago, finding a chiropractor was high on our list or priorities. After trying several in the area, we gave Madeira a try. They start with in-depth questions and xrays. On your second appointment, if you commit, you start with your first adjustment. I highly recommend for you to see Dr. Blake. He listens to your concerns, very approachable, focuses on what you need, try's different techniques, and is detailed oriented. He has helped my overcome neck issues I've battled for years! read more

I am honored to write a review for Madeira Chiropractic in Hershey, PA. I have been under the care of Dr. John Madeira for several years. My blood pressure has been an issue for me, and through the care I received, from Dr. John, it is now within normal limits. His staff is friendly, concerned for my well being and are dedicated to their profession. Thank you to Madeira Chiropractic Wellness Center! Anne Sagewicke, PA read more

I agree with the previous comments. Madeira Chiropractic utilizes a high pressure sales tactic. Clinically speaking, they do great work. But the long-term contract mandate can leave one in a sticky situation if they find themselves in a position where they can no longer afford to receive services. I wish they would reevaluate their methods and focus on serving their community rather than seeing that community solely as a money maker. read more

Sent my husband there after being referred by a friend. Gave all our insurance information when I scheduled the appointment, but the office neglected to inform us they did not participate in our insurance. After paying cash for the first visit and X-rays they did not provide a receipt or allow us to get the X-rays which we have paid for. Having worked in health care I am well aware that you can not verify benefits until you actually run the insurance, however you certainly know what insurances you accept. read more

I am a new patient with Madeira. I have always been interested in chiropractic care and finally made the decision to do it, let me just say it has changed my life! My posture has significantly improved only after 1 month, my range of movement is better than it has ever been and I can't wait till my treatment is done just to see how amazing i am going to feel. Thank you so much! read more

When I first went to Dr. John I was a mess from 2 different accidents, my neck alone giving me headaches everyday. Thanks to his hands of wonder I no longer feel that stress and pain in my neck. As great as he is the rest of the staff is just as friendly and helpful! ( I told my regular doctor I was seeing doctor John and how he gave X-rays first time I came in, and scans every time after that, my doctor told me I had a keeper) read more

I went for two appointments. On the first, I was evaluated thoroughly. I left disappointed no adjustment was done, but came back for the second hoping for some action. After another HOUR of sales pitching chiro, I was taken to speak with a financial consultant and asked to sign a contract for 42 visits, 22 of which weren't covered by insurance costing me $2000 out of pocket. I gave this practice 2 hours of my time, and two separate visits. I was never adjusted, and i I felt like I was given the choice of sign a contract for 12-18 months or nothing. If you're looking to feel out a practice or get adjustments on YOUR schedule. This is not your place. read more

After years of lower back pain and no conventional medical solution, I decided to give Dr John a try, living right down the street from him.Well a month into it and my back is 65% better, i wake up straight in the morning instead of looking like the letter C and am confident i will continue to improve. I am not sure how or why it works, but it works and that is all I care about. Before that I was getting shots in the back for 2k every 4-6 months, so the comparison on pricing is fair. In addition to that the staff is all family and friendly so they create a really nice environment. And since I am a local business owner it is very important to me to keep money local instead of with big chains and institutions so I am happy with that also and appreciate the fact that they also dine with me. Thank you read more

I'm a huge fan of chiropractic and have been provided quality care from most of the Madeira family since 1998. Kayla is professional and knows what she is talking about. I fully trust her with my spine. read more

I started at Madeira Chiropractic about two years ago, looking to ease my back pain. I couldn't sleep at night, couldn't stand for a long period of time, and my back pain was all I could think about. Going in, they were able to find a number of things that were causing my pain, and we got started fixing them right away. After two years, my pain is almost absent. I can sleep COMFORTABLY through the night, and I can see that my posture has gotten so much better. Dr. Kayla and Dr. John really make you feel welcome and have made my last two years feel like a personable experience. I couldn't imagine getting my chiropractic care anywhere else! read more

When I first started coming to Maderia Chiropractic, I was in constant pain, and walking was difficult. Going up and down stairs was almost impossible. Dr. John and Dr. Kayla gave me my life back. I am able to walk as many miles as I want, and I can go up and down steps without a problem. I have even been able to get back to the gym and work out, something I didn't think I was ever going to be able to do. I HIGHLY recommend Maderia Chiropractic to anyone who has any kind of back or neck pain to make the appointment and get evaluated. You won't regret it. read more

Same as last review , high sales pitch ... I unfortunately signed contract desperate for relief . After the one year and countless more high pitch sales tactics they did manage to give my hip relief . ... I then moved on to another local chiropractor who's main objective was not money but actual adjustments that were needed. .. read more

As a patient for almost thirty years I am truly blessed to be part of the Madeira family. Dr. John and his staff are always helpful, friendly and courteous. I believe strongly that my years of chiropractic care are the reason for my great health at age 62. Before chiropractic I had frequent headaches and almost constant upper and lower back pain. With regular chiropractic care the headaches are a thing of the past as well as the back pain. I definitely have better posture. I can also say sickness due colds and other social illnesses has been greatly reduced. I made through two winters with no colds or illness. If you are looking for a chiropractor who is truly interested in tailoring a care program for each individual then Madeira Chiropractic Wellness Center is for you and your family. read more

I don't know how people seriously gave this place a bad review. Yes, they are busy at times, but I have never felt less than family. The Dr AND the staff are amazing!! I went in, not knowing much about chiropractic care, but was having frequent and terrible headaches from a car accident. The first visit was on a Thursday for an evaluation and x-rays, but I was able to get in Monday for a consultation with the Dr and have my first adjustment. The Dr and staff spent a lot of time educating me on chiropractic care and made sure I understood everything from my xray results to my treatment plan and what to expect throughout the process. My headaches went away after a few weeks and honestly my back has never felt better. I would recommend Madeira Chiropractic to anyone!!!! read more

I was experiencing ongoing pain in my right lower back for a couple of years before coming to Madeira's. After treatment, I can finally say that the pain in that area has subsided. The office personal were always sweet and I enjoyed how they would greet me by name when I arrived. My work schedule can be very unpredictable at times and the office tried to be as flexible with my appointments as they could which was nice. I also felt that the treatment methods were much nicer in that I did not feel /here an abrupt "crack" or "pop" during an adjustment - but instead only felt the relief over time. All of that being said, the cost and long-term commitment has driven me to another find another chiropractor. If you break it down and actually calculate the cost-per-visit - the price is much higher then comparable offices in the same area. Halfway through the year, my circumstances had changed and affording the care became extremely difficult. The contract made it impossible to defer treatments/payments and most of the time I was unable to make appointments due to their office hours. I am certainly not a physician, but I feel that perhaps costs could be lowered if all of the "extras" were removed. Upon arrival of every visit, the staff take patient's into a small side room to "scan". While I'm sure it has the ability to provide valuable information I can't help but to find the output useless - I was told that it evaluates the temperature/inflammation (both chronic and acute) of the spinal column. In my opinion, the results are more indicative of the temperature outside and less of the inflammatory processes going on in my spine. This was evident on many of the scans and so this became a cumbersome and annoying start to each visit. The fact that they do x-rays is nice, but again, perhaps not necessary for every patient. Additionally, the expectations that were described in contract of when and how these would be completed were not completely upheld and I was disappointed due to their having such a high (and contractual) cost. This could be a great practice, just wish it didn't feel as "money-driven". read more

I only did one appointment at Madeira and it was for the initial evaluation. When I walked in, I was checked in, not a "welcome you're new" kind of greeting. I didn't like the layout of the office - there was a large waiting area right next to two tables for adjusting. It seemed like a cattle call for adjustments - next, adjust, next, adjust - with hardly any privacy for the patients. For me personally, I wanted a place that offered more privacy. The evaluation seemed thorough enough, but I kept getting pushed to bring someone with me to my consultation with Dr. Madeira. The evaluator kept telling me the information would be overwhelming and I would need someone there with me to help understand and sign off on everything. Having worked in sales, I recognized this as a sales tactic to get another patient and didn't like it. The focus should be on my health not getting more patients. I did not get to meet Dr. Madeira at the evaluation so I can't say anything about him. Anyhow, I left unsure about the office and decided to look at another place that had been personally recommended to me by a friend. I met with a that chiropractor and I got to meet him at my evaluation which helped me decide I want to work with him over Dr. Madeira's office. The new chiropractor suggested I get a copy of my X-rays from Dr. Madeira's office so I didn't have to pay for a new set at his office (which I appreciated); however, when I picked them up at Madeira they charged me a $50 "administration fee" for the CD despite the fact that I had already paid for them at the end of my evaluation the week before. So, all I can say is I had one evaluation visit and one X-ray pick up there, both times I just had that "this isn't the place for me feeling" and I definitely got the sense that they really push their sales tactics. I did notice Madeira got good reviews on Google, which is why I initially chose them so perhaps it's a place that would be good for you. read more

I have been going to Dr John Madeira for two years. Professional staff, knowledgeable doctors, great service! Highly recommend.

A year ago I decided to try Madeira chiropractics, I really did not know what I was walking into but I knew I always wanted to get adjusted. I was having terrible headaches almost everyday, some days they were so bad, I couldn't leave the house, I couldn't drive anywhere because focusing just made the pain worse. It has been almost a year of receiving care, and I can say that my headaches are greatly reduced. And if I do happen to get one, I'm pretty sure it's just because of lack of sleep, but it is no where near as painful as before and it never lasts as long either. I also have only been sick maybe 2-3 times in the last year, before receiving care, I was sick ALOT and when I got sick it would just hang on for weeks and weeks. Last cold I had, lasted only two days instead of hanging around for 2-3 weeks. Madeira Chiropractics have changed my life in many ways, they are so friendly, You walk in and just feel like part of a family, and they always explain everything that is going into your care and you can tell they genuinely care. I would definitely recommend going here!! read more

I've never tried Chiropractic care before, but after a year of lower back pain that was only worsening, and then a leg strain that just didn't seem to heal despite physical therapy, I decided to give it a try. I decided on Madeira Chiropractic care after researching reviews on my health insurance's patient portal -- all very positive. My experience has also been very positive. The entire staff is friendly, respectful, and genuinely caring. More importantly, the quality of care is great! I have a better understanding as to why I am having pain; how chiropractic care can help and IS helping, and have learned additional things I can do to help improve my spinal health, like simple daily exercises. During my first several visits, Dr. John recommended laser therapy to help my leg strain heal faster.....it worked great! Overall, my level of pain is decreasing, and I'm looking forward to continued improvement in my back and overall well-being over the next several months. read more
