Advanced Osteocare Center

I have an off and on problem with my neck/​upper back that causes muscle spasms so bad that I can’t move without a tremendous amount of assistance. I can’t begin to describe the level of pain I experience when this happens, but it’s easily the worst pain I’ve ever experienced. Even the muscle movement caused by breathing is excruciating.
I’ve had this level of muscle spasm twice, and I went to this center the second time it happened. It was by all means an emergency situation, and as I learned the first time it happened — going to a regular medical doctor will just result in a prescription without actual help for the source of the pain.
I picked this place out of the listings online only because it had «Osteocare» in the name; osteopathy is a medical practice I appreciate. The person that drove me there was concerned about the validity of their practice because of all of there personal auto and work injury messages on their front door as well as around the office. I was also concerned that maybe they just file claims and don’t actually provide (quality) treatment.
Because of the urgency of my situation, they were kind of enough to work with me on the payment since my insurance wasn’t going to cover the visit. I was actually surprised by that since I imagine most of their money comes from insurance checks, and I was concerned they’d tell me to find someone else.
The actual treatment was excellent. The doctor used a combination of electric therapy and massage to loosen the tense muscles. He then did a serious of adjustments. Because of how bad my issue was, the adjustments were extremely painful (remember, even breathing caused pain beyond words) and because of how tight my muscles were he wasn’t even able to do all of the intended adjustments. He gave me information about supplements I could get that would assist with the pain and let me know that I probably won’t feel true relief for a couple of days.
The next day I felt relief, and a couple of days after that I was moving about 80% of my normal range. I was incredibly impressed. The first time this happened, I was in pain for a long time and only had pain killers to help (just to dull the pain, not to help with movement at all). This guy actually provided a solution to the problem.
The only reason I didn’t follow up with him for additional visits to get my full range of motion back was because of the price. Without insurance, it was kind of pricey. Instead, I went to a practice that doesn’t normally deal with insurance and had much better self pay prices.
Cons:
A little pricey for self-​pay
Pros:
They offer same day appointments
Excellent care
Handled a critical issue quite well
Good recommendations on improving issue at home
Set proper expectations for recovery
Although I didn’t follow up with them (solely because of the money issue), I’d recommend them to anyone.
