Thank you all. We plan on moving down there very soon. I will miss my brothers adjustments and was hoping I could find a Chiropractor like my brother.

I've been very blessed with my brother. He has the biggest practice around here and is loved by many...and is known as Dr. Mike. He is good at what he does, but also knows his limitations. I've seen him send a patient away stating that he could not help him, and that the person needed a surgeon or a neurologist right away. I've seen him meet a new patient "in need" during a holiday or a Sunday just because he was in pain. Even with all of the problems Insurance companies, Workers Comp, etc., gives Chiropractors these days, he always puts patients before money. As much as I love my Florida home, I'll miss him.

Glad to know I'll have someplace to go to once I'm a full time Floridian.

I notice these posts are quite old but the story seems the same today. I posted to see if the DRS protocol as practised by Davis was authentic but have yet to see a positive response ? I did go to his seminar this month, paid $230 for his evaluation and on further followup was provided "my personally profiled" cost, which was $6202. With what little Medicare and my insurance paid and a 5% cash discount my cost would have been $5191. Sorry but I do not pay that sort of money up front with no guarantee !! It seems that this protocol is still deemed experimental by the insurance industry --- the portion they would pick-up would have been for the Spinal Manipulation, isn't that traction?. I also found on-line articles re DRS and similar protocols, some of which have had false advertisement suits filed against them, stating that basic traction therapy was as good even though it itself isn't very good long term. Basically I want out of my spinal stenosis pain, my mobility, at the moment, is fine.

Anyway my take on Davis/DRS is that it is a very slick marketing program not backed up by any longterm success. Of course he is quick to bring on screen, testimonials to his success but -------?

I stil would like to hear of a success story by anyone who has undergone this therapy, with Davis or any other practitioner.

Spinal stenosis pain will probably be with you forever, you just have to figure out what is the best way for you to deal with it.

Love Dr. Paulk. Never have to wait long. He is soooooo easy to work with also.

So glad I read all the comments. I went to Davis Clinic last week. Although we have excellent Blue Cross, I was told it wasn't covered. They also did not accept my x-rays. Same spiel about seeing the financial person and signing up for treatment with a credit card. I called the insurance company, then called Davis Clinic back. Refused to give me any solid clinical data. So, I am out the initial "interview" fee and digital x-rays, BUT thankfully checked on here and am not returning to Davis. Thank you.
