The Joint ...the chiropractic place

I travel back and forth from Buffalo to Albany frequently, The Joint is convenient and affordable having locations in both areas. I can get in without an appointment and with little or no wait. I always feel better when I leave.

Will never go to The Joint in Clifton Park again. I had decided to try «The Joint» when I was in the area and had some spare time, the Chiropractor Dave was extremely rude leading me to change my mind and just want to leave before any practices could even be performed. The chiropractor Dave then proceeded to get in my face and tell me to leave (which is what I was trying to do) and blocked my way out yelling «I’m a doctor» in my face and screaming «say chiropractor again I dare you!» «I’m a doctor!» While puffing his chest out and continuing to try hold me into the place and trying to start a physical confrontation. On this Sunday afternoon I didn’t ever think what was supposed to be a $ 20 service was going to have to turn into a police report. Very displeased.

I am so relieved to have found such QUALITY chiropractic care at The Joint! I was in a lot of pain yesterday, and decided to try The Joint, although I had been seeing another Chiropractor. I am THRILLED to make the change. This place makes it so easy to see a chiropractor — no appointments. And its affordable! Love this place!

I really liked the Chiropractor, but I’m not a big fan of the office. As usual, and Im sure its a good idea, they try and sell you on multiple visits. This I’m fine with, because I agree i’ll need a few before I’ll be in good shape again, but I’m not someone whose planning on making this a weekly or monthly regiment. The packages they offer are like a gym membership, they want to bill you monthly for a visitation plan that slots you for 4 visits a month at 49 – 59 bucks a month. They don’t except insurance, and I didn’t want to sign up for a monthly billing plan so I paid $ 116 bucks for 5 sessions. Thats a little expensive since the place down the road is 15 a visit with my insurance. I’m not as big a fan of that Chiropractor though. After my 5 sessions, I may opt to explore a new office.
That being said, the Chiropractor did a pretty thorough hands on assessment and explained herself well. I didn’t have to sit through any DVDs and they didn’t try and sell me on a foot scanner or any other silly crap. Her approach is not as heavy handed as the guy down the road. He laid into my back so hard I think her hurt as many things as he helped. I’d rather make an extra visit or two than suffer a new injury. She also didn’t give me hard time when I asked her not to twist my head. I had to debate my other chiropractor on why it was I was concerned, where she just explained alternatives for manipulation of the cervical spine. Overall a great experience, too bad the payment plans are a little too corporate for me.
