| - I recently had some severe neck pain that simply would not go away, and after trying a number of home remedies, decided to head to Dr. Larson. I called Friday night, heading into Memorial weekend expecting to get a machine so I could make an appointment in the upcoming week. I was astounded to actually get Dr. Larson himself on the phone, who advised me that he could get me in the very next day.
Upon getting to his office I sat in the waiting area and filled out the necessary paperwork. I was then escorted to a backroom and explained the pain that I was feeling, when it started to occur, etc. He had me lay on a massaging table and placed electrical pads on my shoulders/upper back area. I was on the table for a comfortable period of time (10-15 minutes perhaps), and was then escorted to a front room for the adjustment itself.
I had never been to a chiropractor before, and Dr. Larson was very good at explaining what he was going to do, and what I could expect (neck popping, etc.) After he was done, he advised that when I went home, to discontinue using the heating pad I had been using, but rather use an ice pack.
I'm not sure if in the end the chiropractic adjustment is what helped, or switching from heat to cold, but in any case, within days I was feeling significantly better, and most importantly pain free.
If you're looking for a professional, who will explain to you what he is doing, and how it's going to help, Dr. Larson is your guy!
