Metro Chiropractic LLC.

Dr. Joe and the rest of the staff are very friendly and helped me with my back problems from soccer!

I waited 2 weeks from the final incident to make sure this was not an emotion filled review. Those are fun to read, but I check Unilocal review’s hoping to hear an honest opinion on a service that I’m thinking about spending money on, hopefully that is what you are here for.
Mid October 15′- Started seeing Dr. Lauren due to recommendation. She was great, made adjustments based on feedback from each prior visit, & made me feel respected as a patient.
Mid December 15′- I’d been doing chiro, pilates, acupuncture, & massage for a few months even though mobility was getting better, I had this bump near my S.I. joint that would be really sore at the end of each day, I had brought it up, but no one I’d seen knew what it was. I did a lot of research of my own & discovered something called Episacral Lipomas, which are common in that spot, but not commonly diagnosed. I brought it up to Dr. Lauren & she asked Dr. Joe to come give his opinion, he immediately dismissed the idea of a lipoma, «stating lipomas don’t hurt». Which was something I read most doctors will say.
January 11 – 15. I saw Dr. Lauren on Monday & made another appointment for that Friday. Thursday I got a message from Joe stating that «Dr. Lauren was no longer with Metro & he would be seeing all of her patients». I wasn’t thrilled because I had built a rapport with Lauren however, I was on 7 of 12 visits that were paid for & I didn’t feel I had a compelling reason to not give Joe a chance. I came into the office the 15^th & there was no mention of Dr. Lauren, it was as though she had never existed, he didn’t mention having looked at my X– Ray, charts, or notes… Just jumped into adjusting me without any sort of background chat.
I thought Joe would use the same method as Dr. Lauren… Instead he is much more forceful & quick, no real direct concern, just going through the standard motions. Although there was no immediate discomfort after that visit, I did end up sore between visits. The following week I came in I decided I should mention that Lauren was adjusting me VERY differently & that way made me feel more comfortable & less sore (using drops). Joe cut me off saying «sometimes you need to make a drastic change to get results». I got the vibe he didn’t like being told what to do & I’m not a Dr. so I didn’t argue.
Feb 24 — I’d seen Joe ¾ visits since Jan 15^th & my back had started to feel really crooked. Like to the point I couldn’t stand comfortably for even 5 seconds. Having my pant line touch my spine was/​is driving me crazy. Something was definitely up. I had done the Whole30 cleanse & lost about 20 lbs over 5 weeks hoping to calm down this potentially inflamed muscle/​lipoma but the bump was feeling even bigger. I found it strange that I had lost weight, done yoga daily, & I was somehow in more pain than I’d over the last year. I figured it would be fair, after not mentioning it for 5 weeks, to bring up «the bump» again and see if he noticed any changes in that time or if he might be more open to discuss. He barely palpated the spot & immediately argued that it was still a muscle & he could feel the fibers/​attachments.
He then had me lie down, lifted up my shirt & before I knew it he was digging the «graston» tool directly into the spot I had just expressed concern about. It took me by surprise & was quite painful, so I said «wow, that’s too intense» & he then laughed & said «that was only the smaller tool, if you think that was intense just wait for the bigger one» & then proceeded to dig another tool into the same spot. I was in shock, in pain, furious, confused & dumbfounded all at the same time.
I 100% feel that that this was a spiteful reaction to a patient trying to help diagnose himself, I think he felt I was undermining his authority by asking questions in front of the guy who was shadowing him (assuming someone he was training?). Dr. Joe had used the tool harder & more direct on the spot than ever before (If his normal strength was a 3 – 4, this was a 8 – 9). Then he adjusted me the same way as always & as I got up to exit he then MOCKED ME, by referring to me as Dr. Google & saying «we’re gonna need to keep you off the internet», all because I was proactively researching my health. I don’t know if I have ever been more insulted & disrespected by a «professional» in my entire life. I’m not positive what constitutes as malpractice, but I am looking into it.
Feb 29 — I called the office to let them know I wouldn’t be coming back & oddly Joe answered the phone. I very calmly, given the circumstances, explained my pain, disappointment, & disgust & he was about ¹⁄₃ defensive, ¹⁄₃ apologetic, & ¹⁄₃ dismissive. He knew he had done wrong & he was worried, he didn’t deny the wrong doing, he was just kind of like «yeah I shouldn’t have done that. But. But. But… «
March 7– (12 days later) the «bump» is more sore, aggravated, & inflamed than it has been in a year, I can barely walk, bend over, or sit down without major discomfort.

Dr. Joe and his staff are the best. The front desk is always friendly and helpful. I feel lucky to have found Dr. Joe and Dr. Lauren.
One day, after waking up with numbness in my hand on a daily basis, I woke up unable to turn my neck. While I had a great chiropractic office in Michigan, I had just moved to the Milwaukee area and didn’t know anyone I could ask for a recommendation. While I believe totally in chiropractic care, I know how important it is to find a good doctor. So needing to find a chiropractor stat, I turned to Unilocal.Dr. Joe got great Unilocal reviews so I decided to give him a try and have been grateful ever since. Within a week my numbness was subsiding and now I can fully turn my neck again. I haven’t felt this good in years! I have more energy and fewer aches and pains. My husband is now seeing Dr. Joe as well and reports the same effects in his health. We plan to start our 14yr old soccer playing son soon too! Give them a try. You won’t be sorry.

For a long-​time, close to a year, I suffered from intense and prolonged nausea. It became difficult to do regular daily activities like going shopping or doing the laundry. I was always sick and I didn’t know why. I spent most of 2014 in and out of my doctor’s office (she thought it was vertigo) and did more than 6 months of physical therapy (we narrowed the problem to my neck which helped but didn’t fix the problem). I blamed myself for not doing more to get better and honestly thought I would never feel healthy and whole again. My family and friends convinced me to go see a chiropractor. I found Metro Chiropractor, did my research, read the reviews, and decided I had nothing to lose. From the first day I walked in, Dr. Joe Mehring and his staff were incredibly welcoming and kind to me. Upon my initial consultation, Dr. Joe was able to tell exactly what was wrong with my neck and where my nausea was likely stemming from. I was nervous about getting adjusted, this was all new to me, but Dr. Joe talked me through it and started me off with light adjustments so that I could get use to the process. Within just a few visits, my nausea and all of the pain in my neck had disapated. It’s been about 4 months and I continue to see Dr. Joe (and sometimes Dr. Lauren who is just as wonderful!) regularly so that I can make continuous progress toward improving the health of my neck and back. I am really glad I chose Metro Chiropractic for my chiropractic care — the professionalism, quality of service, ease of scheduling and friendliness of staff (Allison does most of the scheduling and she is fantastic!) is simply unmatched. I would recommend Dr. Joe and Dr. Lauren to anyone in need of their services.

I feel better after only 4 appointments! I had back, neck and ankle pain for 7 + years and had never been to a chiropractor before. Other doctors recommended surgery, which I wish to avoid. After only 4 appointments with Dr. Mehring my pain is much, much better. I have sent my husband to see Dr. Mehring as well. We will continue treatment. Highly recommended for anyone suffering back pain.

Dr. Mehring is great. I admit, I was a bit skeptical before visiting his office, having never been to a chiropractor before. I was in a lot of back pain and no one else knew what to do about it. Within a handful of sessions, my back was almost completely healed. My husband recently injured his back and I sent him straight to Dr. Mehring. Highly recommended!

I have had the opportunity to work with Dr. Joe Mehring over the past year since opening my PT clinic downtown. Historically, as a physical therapist, I have been wary of chiropractors — unfortunately, I think I had mostly seen the cases that chose the wrong one. The patients Dr. Joe and I have shared have had consistently good things to say about their experiences at JHM Chiropractic — Dr. Joe takes a reasonable and functional approach to chiropractic care. He is not looking to keep you seeing him forever… he truly wants to get his patients to feeling better quickly and keep them that way. He takes the time to listen and design an individual approach for each and every person he sees.
When I get patients for whom I feel chiropractic care would be a good adjunct to their rehab experience, Dr Joe Mehring is the one I will send them to every time.

Magic hands! I have been to many chiropractors and Dr. Mehring is first-​rate. Every patient is different, but I can say he has helped me tons. OK — enough reviewing — I need to go make an appointment!
