We've all heard the saying, "Too soon old, too late smart..." And few of us ever think about that…read morein regards to how we treat our bodies until we are there - somewhere past middle age and feeling the pain from the physical bodily abuses of our youth and yesteryear, including somewhat recent trauma such as a motor vehicle wreck. This is not my first experience visiting with a chiropractor, and sadly, I came in extremely skeptical, maybe even somewhat cynical, due to a prior experience with another Chiropractor several years ago. I also came in nearly desperate due to the severity of pain and lack of mobility I have regressed to. My PCP, when I last complained of joint pain, only suggested that I lose weight and wrote me a prescription for pain medication that will eventually kill me (according to studies). Thanks Doc, I already know I'm fat and that I could stand to lose about 40-50 lbs - how about a program or plan for that? Initial visit: History, what has happened to my body over time, and what is wrong with my body, with the suggestion that I must have an extremely high tolerance for pain and there is great surprise that I am able to function at all with as much as is out of alignment and assymetric. Dr. Ahart made some adjustments on my spine as well as stretched my hammies and glutes. Iced electro-massage therapy was interesting, numbed my back a bit. Next day, however, pain was about double what it normally is. Follow up visit, two days later: Headache for several hours after the visit - cannot say if this is because of the treatment/adjustments in the back/neck, just noting it because I am generally not prone to headaches. I do have to say that in the days following the 2nd visit, I noticed my mobility was improving. Hammies and glutes stretched again, more electro-massage therapy. Dr. Ahart spent some time discussing the approach to my treatment plan as being "global" vs "local" due to the injuries I have sustained over the past 30+ years and set expectations by assuring me I would never be 100% or "perfect" again. We talked about my PCP's recommendation - see the end of paragraph 2 above - and Dr. Ahart very clearly articulated that was not the right call and explained why, yes I need to lose weight, but that's not the cause of my condition, nor will it be the cure. 3rd visit - more discussion, more electro-massage therapy, more adjustments. Another headache, this time not as severe or for as long. For awhile, the body will try to re-adjust back to what it remembers as the normal of recent years, so the adjustments need to be made continually to make the body learn a "new" normal to adjust to so it will stop trying to go back to the discombobulated poor alignment of the old "normal". For now, I'm less skeptical, but I'm holding out my final judgement until the treatment regimen has been completed. In the meantime, I think it might be time to find a new PCP.

Dr Jeffrey seems to prey on the wallets of people in pain that have little hope. Read on to see…read morewhy. The staff there is awesome though. Casey was fantastic btw. I received a coupon to get an evaluation at Raleigh Spine Clinic. I met Dr. Jeffrey and had a consultant with him. I brought my MRI with me. I have severe compression with a herniation at L5/S1. At that point I had a burning pain in both my knees from the compression. Dr. Jeffrey talked to me about how decompression would fix MY situation and gave me a whole packet on it. He said that too many people go straight to surgery rather than decompression. He quoted that 98% of people do not need surgery and decompression fixes them. It also said, that this is not one of those situations where you have to do treatments forever. He said that 8 weeks is all I would need to be healed. He claimed that decompression gently pulled apart the spine and rehydrated my disc enough for it to heal completely. It did help while I was doing it, but I ended up having to take a week off (to go out of town)and the pain came back. Essentially, you do get temporary relief because it increases the space in the vertebra. But, that doesn't last long. He said my issue while I was out of town was because of the hard bed I was sleeping on. So, I went back to the decompressions. When I reached the end of my total sessions I still wasn't good. So, he extended my sessions. Still no fix. He called me his problem child. After that he said we would have to do maintenance, which costs me another $1700. But, he claimed at the beginning it was one and done. Seemed like I was taken advantage of. I came back for my final consult with Dr Jeffrey and brought a new updated MRI. The MRI showed no change in the disc at all. Dr Jeffrey then said it takes 6 months for the disc to heal. I was never told that and you would think it it would have changed some. The decompression cost me $5000. I didn't have that kind of money lying around, so I had to pull it from my 401k. At this point I asked Dr Jeffrey for some money back and told him I pulled it from my 401k. He had no empathy and offered me 6 more decompression sessions. Throughout this whole experience I had consults to how I was progressing. Each time Dr Jeffrey told me I was progressing nicely and the pain is the last thing to go away. He should have stopped me midway and said this may not be working for me and giving me some money back. It has been about 3 months since I was at Raleigh Spine Clinic. I was hopefully the Dr. Jeffrey was being honest and it would take some time for the disc to heal. But, still the same. I have surgery scheduled next month. I know I am not going to get a refund for this and I don't expect to at this point. The only thing I can do is try and help someone by telling them the truth about Raleigh Spine Clinic and Dr Jeffrey and maybe helping them not waste their money. Next steps are to contact the BBB and WRAL to see if they will speak to me. This false hope and manipulation needs to stop.

Jeff spent the most time trying to sell me on his "machines". It was an aggressive sales pitch. I felt like I was trapped in a time share sales presentation. He made extremely exaggerated claims about his treatment modalities. He indicated all his modalities were FDA approved, but when I looked them up they had FDA clearance - the standard is quite different! He should know that and not exaggerate. He told me he had a 100% success rate with his knee machine and everyone( yes he said EVERYONE) who used his knee therapy have avoided surgery, PT and injections. He said They are basically cured. I happened to be sitting next to a guy who had just come from PT and was using the machine for his knee and I asked him about it. I specifically asked if he felt any relief of his knee pain. He said "no". He has been doing the treatment for about a month he said. He did say he could move it better than before, but who knows if that is even good and he is still in a good amount of pain. I saw him limping into and out of the appointment. His goal was to avoid surgery and the jury is out he said on if he can. Meanwhile, he's paying a lot of money. I spent 5 minutes on basically a stim machine and a roller table( Jeff gave them fancier names) and then 3 minutes with Jeff, who did 3 adjustments to my back and said to come back in two days. Not going to be doing that! I would not recommend. In summary, the hard sales pitch, the ineffective "machines" and not much time with getting an adjustment, which is why I came in in the first place would make me not choose this place again. Oh, and if you go, bring actual cash, otherwise any other payment method incurs a 3.5% service fee. To me, that is unprofessional esp since they don't tell you that before you arrive. I don't know many people who carry around $150 in cash these days.
