Steven N Barr, DC

A few months ago I had a weird muscle spasm type thing in my neck and since then have been having Horrible pains intermittently. I finally decided that I was going to have to see someone about it and was going to go with physical therapy and Melissa suggested that I try Dr Barr as Adam had gone to him years before and he was so great that Adam had been fine ever since. So, I decided to go give him a try.
The store is a bit out of the way for me, it is past crossgates mall and bfs in a small strip mall and around the side, last on the row. When I went in, there were a Lot of people waiting and his receptionist was out sick. He doesn’t have appointments and takes you first come first serve and I had no idea what to expect.
I was so very very pleasantly surprised. He came out and spoke to all of us, assessed all of our separate and unique situations and directed us all to the proper location (like giving me paperwork, sending a woman that was in extreme pain into a room to lie down, talking to ‘mattie’ about how his backbelt was helping, another about her physical therapy options… he was impressive to say the least.)
So after telling him about my issues and he did some tests on my reflexes and such, he had me lie on the mechanical table and after raising it up, put some warm towels on my back and had me relax. I was able to listen to his interactions with the other patients, including the adjustments he was doing for them, one of them grunted loudly and he replied in a stage whisper ‘shush. you will scare away the new patients.’ he was funny and very efficient.
Then he came in and poked me in a few places and it made me Unilocal (not in a good way) then he put a few braces under my sides and pressed on those places again. No pain. so he explained that i was twisting myself in the wrong way when i turned my head and worked etc. he then pressed down on my back in a few places — no pain. I stood up and there seriously was no pain. He took a photocopy of my insurance card, wrote me a script for an x-​ray and sent me on my way.
All i can say is that i think he is absolutely amazing and a really cool guy. Thank you Adam. (and Missy.) If your back hurts or your neck or hips etc. go here. you may have to wait but it will be totally worth it.
