First of all...this guy can't diagnose anything without an x-ray that you are charged for unless you go when they have promos...
secondly...this place is RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE..they put you on a routine where you go 3 times a week..you drink some salt that supposedly does you good..do some back workouts and use some machines then you get an adjustment..they conisder things in ""phases""...I had low back pain, and a hip problem..that he discovered by means of an x-ray..then said I'd need to go through a regime of treatment..in ended up costing me 1,200.00...sure..I felt some benefit for a few days..then oops..the procedure didn't stick...they said I'd have to do phase 2..I asked would that mean another 1,200.00? they nodded their head and said yes...this was RIDICULOUS...after 1200bux I felt the same as I did before I walked in the first time...I seen no point in it...then I said you know what I need time to pay off the first debt...please give me time...(i wanted to seek another chiropractor)..they then had me wait for the doctor to speak with me where they PRESSURED me to NOT LEAVE...no way man...screw that...wanna know what I did?...
I went to HAYDEL & HAYDEL chiropractors in TORRANCE...where this doc helped me out..I didn't take no clothes off..NOTHING!...he diagnosed everything by having me do certain movements...certain positions where he can see differences between left and right sides as well as calculate how offset bones and joints are...this guy SEEN I HAD KNEE PROBLEMS! FOOT PROBLEMS! ever see a guy walking with their legs like a duck? or feet pointing outwards instead of straight? yea..had that problem...he FIXED IT...this guys NO JOKE...he used a alternative method, no bone cracking by hand he used what's called an activator...this guys the REAL DEAL...1 visit there, felt better than 12! at the other place!...mind you ive been back to work since, NO PROBLEM WHAT SO EVER EVEN AFTER HEAVY LIFTING IN GYM!...
end result...I spend...a wopping...now get ready...cause this will blow your mind..40.00.....yes...FORTY DOLLARS...don't waste your money at this place called collins....treatment is ridiculous and maybe if you have some minor problems he can fix it..and im sure anyone who has studied in chiropractic therapy can see whats wrong with you through an x-ray....DOCTOR HAYDEL...true master of his work...discovered the same problems, and MORE WITHOUT REMOVAL OF ANY CLOTHING OR X-RAY...the guy will tell u off the bat wheather his method will work or not, and how often or how many times you would have to go...do yourself a favor...read this, and think it over...the moment the guy gets you on a routine of going 3 times a week for month straight...step out...go through 1 time treatment..see how you feel...if you like it...see how long the results last..then go to haydel...1 time....see how long it lasts...or vise versa whichever you wana check first..but FOR DAMN SURE..don't sign over a 1200 dollar COMMITMENT to collins...not until you have either got a second opinin, or gone elsewhere...as a last result, check him out for a x-ray diagnosis if you want..but be warned..yes...as he says...everything is connected...from head to back is what he says..where he fails...head to toe...why he chose to not x-ray the rest of my body bewilders me, and how in the world haydel was able to do better than him WITHOUT AN X-RAY bewilders me even MORE!
-if your insurance is covering collins, by all means head over.
-I'm aware that sometimes 1 treatment isn't enough, but you have to look at the situation in terms of cost and efficiency...is the efficiency worth the cost?
-In a busy humans life, you are bound to have injuries and bones to become offset. It's pretty normal...and going to a chiropractor a few times in a year is actually a good idea...at least once a year, or if u play sports or have a seriously heavy demanding job a few more times..
