Third Ward Chiropractic Sc

I went here for a while. I felt like I was on a used car sale lot. High pressure. The procedures never changed, always the same routine no matter the problem. I will NOT be returning that is for sure.

I definitely won’t be going back to this place to get a massage.
First of all, the room wasn’t very inviting/​comforting. I could tell there was zero effort put into making the room look nice. But I could have guessed that just from looking at the waiting room/​receptionist area.
I got an hour massage and my legs/​arms/​feet/​hands were never once touched! He spent an hour on my back and neck, and after 30 minutes of over working the same areas, it started to feel really uncomfortable.
Not impressed. I’ll stick with the spa

I didn’t like this place at all.
I went here because I was having back problems. As it was in my building, I decided to check it out. I found the staff to be pushy and overbearing. When I got in, the first thing the doctor did was chastise me for never having gone to a chiropractor before. The exam was uncomfortable, then he had me go into one of their muscle relaxation machines. I expressed reservation, stating I would like to see the results of my x-​rays before having any further treatment. He insisted. When I went in the machine, I got the most intense burning in my muscles I’ve ever had the displeasure of feeling. I screamed to be let out. First, he tried to argue that it shouldn’t cause that, as if I was just imagining it. (It was far too painful to have been imagined.) Finally, he turned off the machine. When I said I wanted to just pay for that session, he gave me a speech about how my back «wouldn’t get better on its own.»
When I went to pay, they immediately tried to book me for a time to view my x-​rays. I tried to put it off, but they were insistent. I really wanted to get out of there, so I made the appointment, paid and left. I was so bothered by the experience that I really didn’t want to go back to look at the x-​rays, so I called and cancelled. They said it was fine. They tried to call back a few times to re-​schedule. Then, they sent me various flyers and letters encouraging me to come back. I never heard or was told anything about a fee for cancelled appointments, either in these letters or on the phone. While I realize that such fees are common, I also know usually you’re told about it when you cancel the appointment.
Today, nearly four months later, I received a letter from two different collection agencies, claiming that I owe Third Ward Chiropractic $ 20. I don’t mind paying the $ 20, but they never actually told me that I owed them anything. I’m very diligent about opening my mail, but my husband is a bit forgetful where his mail is concerned, and we respect each other’s privacy enough to not open the other person’s mail. After receiving the collections notices, my husband and I went through all of the unopened mail in the apartment. We found out that, rather than send a bill to me – their patient – they sent it to my husband instead! We managed to find two unopened bills, addressed to him, but stating it was a bill for my account. Why on Earth wouldn’t they send the bill to me directly? At no point did they ever try to contact me directly. They went through my husband, and when that got no response, instead of actually contacting me directly, went straight to a collections agent. Since the collection agencies both realized it was 2011 and not the 1950s, they contacted me directly, which was the first I heard of the fee. It’s only $ 20, and now that I know about the fee, I’ll pay it first thing tomorrow, but it’s such a horribly unprofessional way for them to conduct themselves.
