Ideal Spine Health Center

I had a less than great experience. I found Ideal Spine Health Center through a Groupon — I’ve been looking for a chiropractor and thought I had found my place! However, I left the office feeling like I had been through an ordeal … and I was in the same amount of pain, if not more than I was when I walked in three hours earlier.
The Groupon included a 60-​minute massage — I had that first, and it was pretty good. She spent a lot of time on my problem areas and was very thorough. However, she really went to town on my clavicles. They were pretty tender when I left, and that night + the next day was pretty rough. I had shooting pains in my chest muscles all night long, and it hurt to wear a bra the next day. Not exactly the relief I was looking for — but I know it can take a few days.
Next was the chiropractic evaluation. They kicked it off by asking me if I had brought my gym clothes. I had not, because it was never mentioned to me that I should bring them. When I told them no, they handed me a box of assorted sports bras (assorted meaning XS, S, and 4XL — none of which fit me) and tossed me a pair of shorts and an old tank top. The sports bra was covered in deodorant, leading me to believe it had not been washed, and by the time I got changed (I had successfully stuffed myself into the small, but could hardly breathe or even lower my arms all the way for that matter), I was feeling very uncomfortable (physically and mentally).
The chiro then proceeded with a 1 ½ hour evaluation. To be fair, he was very nice and was being very thorough. But I was so uncomfortable all I wanted to do was put my regular clothes on and get the heck out of there. I did not get adjusted, and when I left, they asked me to schedule another appointment just to review the x-​rays (and still not get adjusted). They were also pretty insistent that I bring my boyfriend in with me to look at MY x-​rays — which seemed pretty odd. All that being said, I’m not sure I even want to be adjusted there — the adjustment tables are out in the middle of the room, and I prefer a little privacy.
It might be a good place for someone looking for more of a physical therapy approach to chiropractic — but it was not for me, and feeling perpetually uncomfortable for 3 hours pretty much ensured I wouldn’t be going back.

The doctors here are amazing and so knowledgeable. They take the time
To really diagnose your problems and come up with a full treatment plan, not just a quick fix. I highly recommend this place to anyone and you will be surprised at how much better you feel after just one visit!

I have been to a few chiropractors over the years, and I felt that I knew what to expect upon my first visit to this facility. In fact, the only reason I went was because I found a groupon in my inbox on a day that I had to leave work early due to excruciating pain. It seemed serendipitous, and I suppose it was. My expectations were blown out of the water. I never felt like I was being rushed, I met almost the entire staff on my first visit, and I felt so well cared for. I asked a million questions and everyone was so patient and wonderful about educating me. I am very skeptical with doctors and prescribed treatments, but the staff here made my questions feel welcome and put my mind at ease. This is a VERY unique center and I will recommend it to all of my friends and family.

Spinal rehab mecca

The doctors are very thorough. The entire staff is very knowledgable. I’ve been anti-​chiropractor my whole life, but the team at ideal spine has drastically helped my LBP through corrective care therapies and education.

There is no place in the world like Ideal Spine Health Center. People come from all over the planet to be treated in this facility due to the caliber of doctors on staff. In addition, they have the CBP Doctor Institute on premises and train doctors from all over the world to give the best non invasive spine care possible. I am disappointed to see a bad review posted about ISHC. It sounds more like a logistical complaint vs. the healthcare offered. I have personally been trained in this location and send my doctors and staff there as well. They offer the best education possible in the care of the human spine at the CBP Institute. What they offer is invaluable. Dr. Deed Harrison owns this facility and he is the authority in his field. If I were to choose one location in the world to have my own spine cared for, it would be at ISHC.
I have been treated by each doctor on staff, and can say there is no place that has a team more qualified in the state of Idaho.
They also have the largest collection of corrective care equipment i have ever seen.
