Outstanding Chiropractor!

This review is a little lengthy but I believe necessary to accurately qualify my rating.

I recently relocated to the Bitterroot from Arizona. I have received chiropractic care off and on over the last 40 years, due to residual body damage associated with my former career. As such I am familiar with the type and quality of chiropractic care/treatment that is available in the US.

Due to extensive physical activity (brush clearing) on my new property, I over stressed my neck and shoulders. This resulted in pinching nerves which caused a significant level of pain and my arms to go numb. Combined that all created some very sleepless nights.

I began researching to find a chiropractor. In talking to a few of the locals I knew, Dr. Pernsteiner’s name came up. (Hereafter refereed to as “Doc”) On-line Goggle and Independent MD reviews were favorable. The Yelp reviews were sparse and just “ok”, with one particularly negative review. What impressed me about that particular review, however, was the Doc took the time and effort to respond in a non-condescending nor complaining way. Don’t see that often.

I decided to give him a try. The practice has a decent website with an on-line appointment request booking feature. I completed and submitted the form, which included listing my symptoms. I wasn’t expecting to hear back from the office for a few days, as it was late Friday of the holiday weekend right after the 4th of July.

To my surprise I received a reply back from the Doc directly within the hour. He explained the office was closed for the weekend and the first available appointment wouldn’t be until the following week. What REALLY impressed me though was he followed up with recommending two of his competitors who might be open on the weekend and/or could possibly get me in for treatment sooner. To me, that was a huge sign of professionalism and genuinely caring about his patients/clients. As such, I booked the appointment with him.

The office in Hamilton, is easy to get to, has adequate parking and staffed by a very friendly and cordial receptionist. They take cash, check or credit cards. I self pay, so I am not sure what insurance carriers they deal with. After completing the new-patient paperwork, I met the Doc.

I was immediately impressed with his bearing and demeanor. He was very personable and easy to talk to throughout the visit. The Doc did a complete background history and pre-adjustment examination. I was again impressed by the thoroughness of his evaluation.

Once that was completed we discussed exactly what I hoped to achieve and what he believed was realistically possible. My treatment and adjustments would be tailored accordingly.

My first adjustment brought immediate relief of the pain I was dealing with. A follow/up appointment was scheduled a few days later. I attended that yesterday. My range of motion has returned-improved, the pain subsided and I’ve gotten the first decent nights sleep in several weeks.

I will be seeing him again, as I am not yet completed with my brush clearing project and anticipate some residual treatment until that project is completed.

In summary, I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Pernsteiner of Bitterroot Chiropractic for your chiropractic needs. I know for a fact he will be my “go-to” person while here in the Bitterroot.
