I wasn't happy after yesterdays treatment so I've decided not to go to the chiropractor anymore.
I was left for an allotted 10 minutes with acupuncture needles stuck in my backside. When she didn't return after 15 minutes I decided to buzz her with a little buzzer she left with me but she never came. Apparently the buzzer didn't work. God help me if I was having a heart attack!!
I got up off the table and went to the door in my treatment gown and with the needles still stuck in me and in full view of other waiting patients I had to request the receptionist to find out where my therapist was. She was then fetched from another room.. I complained about the buzzer that didn't work but she wasn't bothered.
On another occasion she manipulated my spine so hard that it hurt for 2 days afterwards. I didn't go to have my spine touched but she insisted it was part of the treatment.
I should never have gone there.
Not the slightest improvement - complete waste of money.
