Greco Patrick D C

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I’m a total skeptic when it comes to chiropractic care. I will also readily admit that chiropractors have succeeded in helping me find quick relief from pain. I was advised that Greco was going to «rock my world» when he worked on me. Indeed, this was true. My spine /​neck sounded like the fourth of July. I believe Greco used the term «crunchy.» My pain subsided within the day, and I went back the following week for a final tweak.
As the sign out front says, this may just be the best crack in Atlanta.

I have been going to Dr Greco for over 5 years and he is the consummate professional. He listens to you and does an outstanding job of helping you feel better with whatever is hurting on your body. He and his staff are very personable and a pleasure to see whenever I go which is about once every 3 weeks. In short, Dr Greco is the Dr. I refer to my friends.

Because Dr. Greco has adjusted me three times, I now safely can say that he delivers solid chiropractic care. Located in the Midtown Place shopping center (Whole Foods, PetSmart, The Home Depot) off Ponce, Dr. Greco’s office is tucked away on the bottom level beside the Olive Bistro – and is a tad hard to find.
The problems Dr. Greco consistently has helped me assuage include knee and foot pain, along with an L2 subluxation (related to bowel woes). Compared to the three other chiropractors whose care I’ve sought in the past, Dr. Greco is gentle overall. However, once Dr. Greco instituted the Graston Technique, a painful tactic that indeed works – but hurts. In my case, Dr. Greco used a stainless steel bar (pardon my misuse of chiropractic jargon) to loosen up the tissue around my knee, scraping it back and forth around my kneecap, resulting in bruises. BUT, the Graston Technique, as opposed to manual knee adjustments, gave me the most relief I’ve ever experienced.
Dr. Greco also is a «bowel whisperer» of sorts, jump-​starting my regularity by massaging my ileocecal valve. I didn’t even know that the ileocecal valve existed until Dr. Greco stuck his finger into my abdominal area, where the valve is located – and it sure was tender! (Note to all of you Confederacy of Dunces fans out there – Ignatius J. Reilly’s valve is no joke!)
Another thing that rounds out my fondness for Dr. Greco is his humanity and fairness. I get the impression that he really works with patients in order to offer accessible and affordable healthcare. For example: my insurance carrier doesn’t cover chiropractic care until I reach a deductible, requiring me to pay full price until that point. Until I hit my deductible this year, Dr. Greco only charged me $ 40 per visit – because he didn’t think my having to shell out hundreds of dollars was fair.
I only wish that Dr. Greco would offer more explanations of what he’s adjusting, and what those vertebrae affect on my body while he’s in action. For example, saying, «Oh, you’re tight here, I can tell you’ve been having headaches – I’m going to fix that for you…» — or – «The reason your knee hurts is because this bone is grinding against your tibia.»
I highly recommend Dr. Greco – I always feel high when I leave his office.
