| - I had a backache in my mid back that wasn't going away. I couldn't take full breaths. I had to hunch a little because sitting up or walking straight hurt. My initial thought was that since I practice yoga, I can heal myself. I tried downward dog, plow pose, donurasana, spinal twists. I tried hanging upside down and everything.
We've all heard stories about chiropractic. It seems people either love them or hate them. This was my first visit to a chiropractor, and I am a fan.
Although this guy, Danny is new to the Phoenix valley, he has been practicing in another state for a while. He seems like he is from the mid west. He is calm and and exudes a casual friendliness.
The office was slow or he was ready for me. He led me to a table right away. He took a minute to feel around as we talked about my pain. He said it was obviously T7 based on what I was feeling in my back and it was quite common. He said could skip the X-ray, if I wanted, since I mentioned I was price sensitive.
It didn't take long. He adjusted me and then gave a brief massage around the area stretching the muscles around it. He said it was important to adjust the muscles around the problem area because muscles are what holds the bones in place. The massage was great. Danny seems to have a massage background.
When I stood up, the pain was already gone. As I write this review it has been 4 days and the pain has stayed away. I did 30 miles on my bike today. I am back to normal. What surprises me most is that this Danny at Clarity solved my problem in probably less than 15 minutes and I don't need to go back.
I am used to doctors wanting to follow up perpetually for anther $50 visit etc....this guy seems to know he cured me and that was his intention. He seemed to know I'd be a one time visit, he saved me the X-ray expense, anyway.
That makes it five stars in my book! Ole!
