Buyer Beware. They may not be a scam, but it sure feels like one…read more Please note that this is only my experience and does not reflect the people that work at Joint Effort. Everyone is really nice and they do a good job of making you feel comfortable. However: The entire process from start to finish is a bit of pseudo-science. You are first given a free book to read about decompression therapy and then are required to get an MRI to become a eligible patient. Turns out I had four herniated disks which just so happen to be eligible for decompression therapy. I was then quoted a figure of $7,000 for the entire 30 session process. Shortly afterwards I was exposed to dozens of alleged testimonials about how successful the process was. I figured that it would be worth the investment so I went ahead and started a payment plan with them. The process itself is a bit lackluster - you are literally laying down as a machine pulls at the bottom of your skull a centimeter or so for about 20 minutes. You are also given ice packs to take home with you and you're told multiple times to make sure to ice the neck and lower back area at least 5 times a day. For the most part, the pain started to go away although there were some times when I wake up with excruciating pain for a day which eventually went away. Fast forward 30 sessions later, and I noticed my pain started to return. However, the only thing that changed was that I was getting a bit lazy with the icing of my neck. And then it hit me, maybe it's the ice that is doing all the work and not the stretching. Either way - I asked for a copy of my statement for tax purposes and it turned out that $7k quote was a lie. I was charged $255 per session and my bill came out to $8,950 (~35 sessions). To summarize, nothing against the people that work here, but it seems sketchy. I wouldn't recommend unless you've tried surgery already and it didn't work.

Dr Bardwell's office is always clean and his staff is super friendly. I have never had an issue with getting an appointment and Dr Bardwell has always been very accommodating. After so many years of calling on Dr Bardwell I know him now as a friend and not only as my doctor. I very highly recommend his skilled services to any and all that are experiencing any type of kneck, lower or back pain. Whether severe or just annoying or nagging pain, Dr Bardwell will get you back on your feet.

The Cliffnotes Review: Dr. Handler helped my achieve my…read moregoals to improve my mobility and minimize pain. The Unabridged Review: In January 2020 I sought out Dr. Handler for Active Release Therapy due to iliopsoas tendonitis. Originally, I intended to receive 12 office visits with him; however, COVID19 interrupted those plans, and managed to get eight visits in before NYS went on "pause." That being said, Dr. Handler helped me by providing the ART treatments themselves, as well as specific exercises to be done at home. Additionally, Dr. Handler also provided cupping therapy, as well as chiropractic adjustments as part of my treatment plan. During the shut down, the exercises at home, along with the "contact avoidance" I was avoiding grabbing railings to get up and down stairs, I have experienced a more pronounced improvement in my conditions. While my issues aren't 100% resolved (and doubtful they ever will be completely 100% resolved), Dr. Handler was able to provide effective pain relief and improved mobility in a more obvious way where ART from another practitioner, as well as various injections from physiatrists failed. Dr. Handler is a capable and caring chiropractor, who is open/receptive to input/feedback from his patients, and has a pleasant personal demeanor and conversational style. Other things worthwhile sharing: Pricepoint: I found his office fees to be reasonable, especially given the level of care and attention provided.

I had the absolute worst experience at GSM. I saw Dr. Gil Chimes at the recommendation of a friend,…read moreso it took me months of seeing him to come to terms with his craziness. I had sciatica that was worsened by a, unknown at the time, thyroid issue. First, I would see Dr. Chimes for half an hour and I swear he would deeply massage a sore spot for 15-20 seconds then take TWO MINUTES of notes after. Maybe this cycle would repeat 3-4 times. Then he'd put electrified acupuncture needles in my back and leave. Numerous times I asked him what he was writing and he said he took detailed notes. It was SO WEIRD. Second, the whole time he would treat you he would complain mercilessly about how hard his life is with his family and working with the NY Yankees. Third, as I wasn't getting any better, during my last two visits he outright yelled at me that there's nothing he could do. During my last visit, he was yelling at me while I was crying and then he put in the needles. He came back 10 minutes later apologizing profusely for yelling and that "I know we can get you better." Well, I went somewhere else after that where they don't yell and I got better. It was a solid 10 out of 10 on the crazy scale.

She uses an amazing machine called the Trivector that actually works! It uses ultrasound, high frequency light radiation, pulsation and suction to improve skin. After 3 sessions you begin to see incredible tightening. The process reduces crepey skin and stimulates collagen. I looked at least 5 years younger and had glowing skin.

Based on SportsPlus's outstanding five-star ratings and its convenient location close to my home, I decided to give them a try, and I'm so glad I did. From my very first phone call through every visit, the entire team has made this a wonderful, positive experience. The front desk staff is always welcoming and professional, and the atmosphere makes me actually look forward to my appointments. They call me when something opens up knowing that I'm only walking distance away. My therapist, Carl, has been incredible. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and gentle in his approach. After my total knee replacement only 3 weeks ago, he is still guiding me through every step of my recovery, and together we've made tremendous progress. Even my surgeon has been extremely impressed with how well I'm doing, and my range of motion. If you're trying to decide where to go for physical therapy, I can confidently say you've found the right place. I highly recommend SportsPlus and if you have the opportunity to work with Carl, or Alex you'll be in excellent hands! The office also has a Chiropractor on staff but I have not tried his services yet! But I will in the future as I am a firm believer in chiropractic care.
