Rating Feedback for Dr. Saracino (802583)

The rating:
'Im sorry to say that I did not have the same experience with Dr Saracino as his other patients. He acted like he was doing me a big favor by adjustin my back and neck and it seemed to me that all he was interested in was stretching out my treatment and having me make further appointments. The first time he treated me was much better, he adjusted my neck and back by the third appt and had me on the road to recover. I almost gave up on Chiropractic treatment until the pain became too great and then i found my current Doctor. I didnt know better with Dr Saracino as he was my first, my current Dr was adjusting me from day one and had me healed in no time. You can get much better holistic treatment elsewhere, trust me.'

I am sorry that you had that experience. You are correct that Dr Saracino's approach to pain is not just spinal or cervical manipulation, and I am sure you detected some reluctance to immeadiately manipulate without a treatment course in place. I am glad to hear that constant manipulation is what worked for your injury, but I encourage you to further research the benefits of chiropractic care coupled with a neurologic and sports medicinal approach. You may be surprised at the long lasting results. I go years between visits when I am not athletically active at a competitive or near competitive level.
