Allied Health & Chiropractic

Not only do I go to AHC for regular maintenance, but so do many of our athletes at CrossFit Sixth City and Cleveland Strength and Conditioning. We regularly utilize their awesome chiropractors, massage therapists and PT for maintenance, injuries and health evaluations and screenings for ourselves and our athletes. I also look forward to working with the new ART specialist. There is many places I personally trust with my health and wellness. AHC won’t let you down.

I would highly recommend this place to anyone in need of a chiropractor, physical therapist, or a medical massage. The staff is amazing and really takes an interest in who you are and their focus is getting you better as soon as possible. The environment is welcoming and the staff is very personable. I never once had a bad experience. Allied is nothing but the best and if you want a fast recovery or relief of pain this is the place to go!

The people in the office were all very nice and helpful, however, I was unspeakably disappointed with the massage I received, especially since someone I know told me to go here. I’m so confused. I was very specific with what I needed done – I came to get a massage that would help alleviate low back and knee pain, not a massage for pleasure – and continued to try and communicate that the pressure was not enough. And when she did give me more pressure, it was strange and not at all logical. She also didn’t get to the two main areas I explicitly said were giving me trouble. I assumed she was going to get to both sides, but instead she spent all her time on my shoulders (probably because that’s easier than the QL, piriformis, effort-​wise), and my knee cap (!!! ouch!) (which ended up irritating the tendons tremendously – and I tried to gently suggest that knee-​cap shifting does not help me… and she didn’t listen and it was awkward…) and then did the wrong side when she did finally get to the QL and never moved on to the other side. WHOOPS. So I left off lopsided and furious. For me, there are few things more excruciating than a bad massage.
Like I said, I feel bad giving a negative review because employee-​wise – front desk, management, were all kind, but I cannot recommend anyone to go here for a deep tissue massage.

I have been a patient at AHC for several years and through multiple weekend warrior injuries, including a car accident. I had been to several other chiropractors and physical therapists in the past, but by far the staff here is the best and I feel like they actually care about me and how I feel. Their new office is beautiful and the staff is always friendly. I get to see everyone I need in the same office so it’s very convenient for me. There are both medical doctors, physical therapists and chiropractic treatment there. Also they were all in my insurance network.

First I want to say the actual physical massage was great — 4 stars there!
However…
I went here on a Groupon for a 60-​minute deep tissue massage. The hours here are quite strict and do not include weekends! This makes calling and obtaining an appointment difficult. I finally requested an appointment online and a friendly receptionist called me back a few days later. Subsequent calls on the day of my appointment to see if I could move it up earlier and again for directions were answered promptly and in a friendly manner.
Even though I called about being seen early I was actually seen… you guessed it! Late! I would have rather been told ‘no I couldn’t be seen early’ than be told to come early and then not even be seen at my initial appointment time! The receptionist even left talking on her mobile while I will still waiting.
The office is inside the main building of Lutheran Hospital. Go in the main doors. Right. Find the elevator in the far right corner. Go to floor «1». Find suite 1000 — A+ for signage to the suite. They have a one person (not spotlessly clean) bathroom in their office but have no keys to the restroom down the hall.
The office was old: carpeting, waiting room chairs, etc… The quality of the massage was great, however it was done in a room with two overhead florescent lights so not very peaceful. And the breath of the lady working on me was a mixture of smoke/​mint gum. Gross. And when it was time to lie face down the face cradle was covered in several crinkly and rough bathroom paper towels instead of a soft maybe even warmed towel.
All in all I won’t be back — I can get just as good a massage elsewhere plus a good environment.
