\r
I want to remain objective about this practice. It was a partnership of several doctors, with Dr. Ginter being the senior partner.\r
\r
On my first consultation with Dr. Ginter, he said that my 3 herniated disks condition was treatable so I registered with the practice. A lady doctor of Chiropractic took care of the treatments which combined manipulations with 30 minutes on “The rack” as I called it. This machine is the critical factor between success and failure. Core Health Systems has a set of the right ones, a very powerful machine that will gently coax your spine into submission and realignment. \r
\r
I had tried another practice before with a smaller version of these machines but it was useless, and it probably did more harm than good – at a price also. Core Health System doctors will work with you, assessing the length of treatment from your condition. Mine took two consecutive 8-week sessions with a three months gap to test the recovery. The improvement was amazing. I was almost an invalid person when I started. In constant pain day and night, unable to go upstairs, unable to walk from the parking lots into stores. I was advised to get a handicapped parking sign, which I refused.\r
\r
Half way through the first session, I felt the pain easing off a little, by the end, it was tolerable and I was hoping that it would slowly disappear but not quite. At My age, a 40 year-old injury relapsing does not go away that easily.\r
\r
I returned to Core Health for a second session, and I was assigned to Dr. Danaher. This young man is a five-star practitioner; very proactive and working closely with the demanding patient that I am. Within a few weeks of part 2, I was moving almost pain free up and down the house, the painful nights eased off and I tentatively re-started my power–walks in the park. I was amazed to see that I could do it and not pay for it later. It felt like a miracle.\r
\r
Now for the no-so-good part: \r
\r
My first session was under the supervision of Dr. Ginter. I am retired, hence on Medicare. Dr. Ginter did not accept that and I had to pay for the full price myself. I tried later to ask Medicare for a refund as this treatment was recommended by a neurosurgeon, but it was refused. \r
For my second treatment, Dr. Danaher said that he would bill Medicare and it was accepted without problem.\r
Being a former paralegal, I queried the reason why one treatment was refused and the other accepted. It would seem that Medicare’s way of thinking is: If you first pay for it, you can afford it. That is far from the truth for me, but the pain was so bad that I would have sold anything to ease it off. \r
A final word of wisdom: \r
Choose your practitioner with care by interviewing him or her before committing.\r
Make sure that the machines available are the full-size ones.\r
Be strong and persistent in the sequence of treatments. It may hurt more at first; your body is fighting back of course. Just show it who is the boss! And all the best.\r
