What a shocker. I have been going to Chiropractors for over 20 years on three continents and this experience is unquestionably the worst.
Unfortunately, I have had to change Chiropractors as my regular one on the Northern Beaches has moved south of Sydney. I saw the positive reviews here and though I am not one to bother with writing reviews myself, am so incensed by the experience that I feel I must make mention of my shocking experience on this forum.
The initial consultation consisted of Steve being actually present for 12 minutes spanning a 40 minute period as he darted out to treat two other patients he was treating concurrently. His assessment consisted of pressing a point causing some degree of discomfort, then prodding here and there, and then pressing supposedly the same way but which now miraculously generated no discomfort and pontificating on the subject of bio-mechanics and various skeletal interdependencies. Surprise, I know what a trigger point is and his smoke and mirrors routine left me totally insulted. But the best was yet to come.
On standing up after his third 4 minute visit he joyfully said that I should go home and "have a hot shower and a cold beer". Right, so when filling out my medical form before the consultation I wrote thereon that I am currently taking antibiotics. So little regard has this so called medical professional that his advice is to go home and have a beer. That may work for you; it certainly does not for me. Of course, there is yet more. On walking through to reception, still flabbergasted by the sham consultation, I am asked for A$100 and when I would like to book another appointment.
Yes, for the pleasure of this side-show masquerade I have to stump up A$100. Okay, so being the professional gentleman that I am, I put that down to school fees and comforted in the knowledge that I will never grace this pretender with my presence again.
I share this with you as an honest account of what transpired this evening. You are an adult and capable of making up your own, informed opinion.
Good luck and wishing you a pain free life.
Kind regards,
Ed
PS: I never had the beer and I am sure I'll be better for it. read more
