I was in Alabama with 7 friends for our annual golf trip and hurt my lower back during round #1. It…read morewas debilitating, painful to even take a deep breath or laugh, no chance at playing golf. I googled chiropractic care in the area and found Archetype had good reviews. Booked an appointment for the next day figuring I had nothing to lose by getting treatment, I was just hoping to be able to ride in a cart and cheer on my buddies and didn't really expect to play anymore golf on the trip. I found Archetype to be a very professional health care establishment. Dr. John (Palmer) and his staff spent approximately 90+ minutes using various techniques on my back. I was still sore that evening, but seemed to be a little more comfortable. The next morning I woke up feeling really good. I was able to play 36 holes that day, carefully of course, but without pain. The following day I comfortably played another round. Dr. John's work was nothing short of miraculous, I'm so fortunate to have found Archetype, saved my golf trip for sure!

It's important that I see someone knowledgeable in my specific issues so I don't get hurt in the process, and Dr. John and his team continue to be the right fit for me! I've been seeing Dr. John since mid 2012 and I will happily continue to do so. They make such a big difference in my life and my ability to function.

If you're looking for a relaxed atmosphere this is not the place BUT 100% free for veterans, ask…read moreyour doctor! The music is pretty loud. Modesty is also not considered much. They told me to get undressed (they didn't tell me what to take off) and didn't even give me a blanket. I had to find it. Dr. Beth Sherer only put Acupuncture needles in my on the top of my head because I asked (she was giving me Acupuncture for Anxiety, and this is where you're supposed to put the needles mostly ) she said "oh I thought I couldn't put them there because of your hair claw." I think she was just trying to save time. Another Acupuncturist I had just asked me to take the hair claw off. It was more painful than other places I've been to. I laid there with the needles in for 20 minutes. That is the minimum. I told her I had chronic pain and 20 minutes for that is not enough according to my research (see phorltot). I think this place mainly serves veterans :) which is great because it's covered 100% for them. I had to pay $60. She definitely put the needles in the right spots because I felt relaxed afterwards, but mostly the loud music and the long wait (1 hr) turn me off. Disclaimer: if you're not sensitive to loud music, it won't be a problem for you, but I would think a lot of veterans are coming because of PTSD and chronic pain and loud music is just not calming for some people. Usually with body work/alternative medicine, there's very calming music in the background. I think the music was loud because the atmosphere seemed so hectic with so many people coming and going. I'd say it's a good deal if you get the bundle with the chiropractic and you don't mind a long wait and loud music. One last huge drawback was that the person taking the needles out couldn't find them all!! that's a red flag. I don't want to be walking out of there with a needle in me or touch it accidentally with my hand - that would really hurt. So, Acceptable but not good, but FREE for Veterans
