Review from Wendy Y.
1/19/2012
I started seeing Dr. Gohar Shiek in 2004 after my car (with me in it) got rear-ended in 2003. I was lucky I didn't break any bone but a few weeks later, I started to suffer pain all over my neck, back, and down to my tail bone. I couldn't sleep well so I was always cranky as a new born. My classmate suggested that I see Dr. Shiek as she had a similar car accident but a lot worse.
I made my appointment and Dr. Shiek was very professional, friendly, and courteous. He did a full spinal scan and pointed out the problem areas. Afterwards we dived right into treatment. The treatment was and still is a quick 5-7 minute of "bone cracking". During the treatment he would position me in awkward angles and "crack" my bones back into alignment. It may sound painful but it's really not. When you are out of alignment, your muscles are compensating and if you didn't treat it right away, that's when the tension builds up and you get nasty muscles knots. Massage can give you a temporary relief but the core problem still remains.
I see Dr. Shiek from time to time now as I am the type who can easily put myself out of alignment. I really like and appreciate Dr. Shiek's consistent care over the years. He knows my alignment very well. I can always have good nights of sleep after my adjustment.
I would highly recommend him to people who are looking for a good chiropractor. The wait time is short and there are no exercises you have to do because this is not a physiotherapy's office. His staff is approachable, especially Angela, the receptionist, is one cheery bunny!
The simple way to put it is, if you were suffering from muscle-related problems, see a physiotherapist. If you were suffering from alignment problems, see a chiropractor.Listed in: Physio/Chiro/Massage
