I am so incredibly disappointed in my experience with Borer Chiropractic. I am bummed that this…read moreisn't a five star review and that my back issues have not been treated properly. I was having back/shoulder pain and limited range of motion. Dr. Rob Borer was recommended to me because he had a very gentle approach. Dr. Rob uses a clicky-tool to make adjustments and not his hands. At my first appointment, he adjusted me through manipulation with the clicky. After going to him twice a week for about 6 weeks, I started getting headaches after our appointments. The headaches became regular. Then, I started getting migraines after seeing Dr. Rob. I communicated this to Dr. Rob. He suggested taking xrays, because he said that I shouldn't be getting these migraines, and that maybe there is something going on with me that he wasn't aware of. The xrays shed light for Dr. Rob on the state of my spine. He said that it was good that he took xrays and that he was going to change his approach in how he adjusted me. My appointment after the X-ray assessment seemed better. Dr. Rob was more gentle than he previously. He even used something as a buffer between me and the clicky tool when he adjusted my neck. However, the next time I went to him, he didn't have the same approach as the time before. He took his clicky tool and adjusted me. I felt a migraine come on while I was still laying on the table. I asked him if he adjusted me differently, like last time, because of my X-rays. Well, he had actually forgotten all about the xrays and the new/different approach. His response to me was "I didn't change anything about how I adjusted you, I adjusted you like I did last time." Wait.... What? I didn't even say anything. I knew right then that I had to stop going to him and that he was not going to help me. I vigilantly communicated with him about my symptoms before every adjustment. He took lots of notes. I really had faith in him helping me, and went to him like he instructed me to, which was twice a week. I went to him twice a week for a total of three months. I went to him up until the time after my xray review, when it was extremely obvious that he did not have my xrays in mind at all during the adjustment. The aftermath: it is now almost three months since the last time I went to Dr. Rob Borer. I struggle with intense migraines DAILY. They are 100%, directly a result of my adjusts from Dr. Rob. I have been to my doctor several times for migraines in the past three months. I have a referral for a physical medicine doctor that I will finally see next week, after a two month long waitlist. I am on a daily medication for migraines, to try to prevent them. On top of that, I have two separate prescriptions as over-the-counter medications have not helped at all. I also bought specific glasses for migraines, so the light sensitivity associated with migraines doesn't have such an effect on me. I had to buy these (expensive and extremely stupid looking) green-light-filtering glasses to be able to go into work every day. I was struggling to work every day in a brightly lit office and the glasses help make my work environment more bearable. Sunny days are very difficult for me. Bright lights trigger my migraines. It is important to note that after I stopped going in for chiropractic appointments, I called up there to speak with Dr. Rob and tell him what was going on and why I stopped coming in. I couldn't reach him directly on the phone, but I did explain on his voicemail that I stopped coming in because I was getting bad migraines. I was hoping he would have make a new plan of action. I was hoping that he would get back to me with something.... Anything! But I did not hear back from him at all. My biggest piece of advice if you go to Dr. Rob is if you have chronic back pain, insist he take xrays before he does any manipulation. Talk with him BEFORE each adjustment about what he is about to do, so you can remind him of your plan of action every time. I do realize that my side effects from Dr. Rob's adjustments are very rare. But the pain and discomfort I now deal with on a daily basis can be all-consuming and debilitating and I felt responsible to share my experience. I'm going to end this on a positive, and that is to say I honestly enjoyed each visit to Borer Family Chiropractic. The receptionist Audrey is truly a delight. I loved all of my conversations with her that I have had while waiting for appointments or while I was checking out. I also had pleasant conversations with Dr. Rob. Also, scheduling appointments online was a breeze.

Extremely disappointed to find out that Dr Borer is a covid denier. I don't feel that the clinic is…read morea safe place during the pandemic, and I'm furious with myself for not doing better research before my first visit, since it means I'll have to go through the intake process somewhere else. I also just realized that their website promises "$87 DOLLARS FLAT RATE FOR CONSULTATION, ADJUSTMENT, EXAMINATION AND X-RAY IF NEEDED"... They did the exam and X-ray but had me schedule a different appointment for adjustment, and said that would be $40-something dollars. Edit: Just so that we're clear, it wasn't the lack of masks at the office that make me think Borer is a covid denier (though every other medical professional I saw over the summer was still wearing them) it was a series of social media posts that were forwarded to me by someone familiar with him - articles from right-wing propaganda sites about how masks don't work and covid numbers are fake, among other egregious Trump-train material.
