Paul Zemella, DC

Dr. Z has been a great help to me with my
Shoulder/​back problem that started 9
Months ago. My back has improved. He has taken ample time to take
X-​rays and explain my injury to me in words
That made sense to me. I have had relief
With his chiropractic adjustments. I have
Total trust in his chiropractic care. He
Is always available to answer any questions
I may have. If you need an adjustment or have
Had a back injury do not hesitate to call
Dr. Z.

Paul is a very nice man, and I did enjoy meeting him and chatting with him. The fact is, however, that the term «alternative medicine» exists because practices labelled as such are not medicine. Were they medicine, they would not need a separete designation. Shame on me for not having better informed myself before visiting him. While the first crack of my back that he performed did relieve some tension, my second visit was awkward and far from helpful. I felt pressured into having an x-​ray done (which I suspect had to do with the multiple credit card websites open in browser tabs visible from the reception area), then, while sitting in a massage chair, watched a silly presentation about God having designed the spine and chiropractic conforming to God’s will by not moving organs around… or something. I do not believe in any gods, or that any intelligence designed any part of the universe, so this was unsettling and alienating. When I mentioned my concerns to Paul, he seemed to fall apart. He had no answer when I asked for an explanation of the science behind his performances except that the drop table works because of physics. So basically, Paul sat me in a massage chair for a few minutes, cracked my back, and then charged my insurance $ 300. I thank him for getting that hard to reach spot, but I could just as well have asked a buddy to stand on my back while I laid on the floor. I strongly recommend you read up on this non-​medicinal field before you make the same mistake I did. The two stars are for the pleasant company and convincing performance.

I’ve been a patient for a couple years. Took my two daughters in who were both having a problem. Paul is a super class act. Helped them both and even called later that evening to see how they were doing and offer additional tips to help them resolve their concerns. It then reminded me that he did the same for me when I first started seeing him. This guy cares — and he really knows what he’s doing. Rare combination. Don’t hesitate giving him a try!
