So I went to the Chiropractor this morning... which was nice in that now I feel much more comfortable in my own skin! The thing that frustrates me about Chiropractors though is this...
They are expensive... even with insurance that covers them, my co pay is $30.
They want you to come back... like 3 times a week at first... that co pay? Ya, for one week just went up to $90.
I know it may be hard for them to understand, but I'm not made of money. I can't afford that. In one paycheck that ends up being $180 out of pocket. And hate to say it... I have a mortgage to pay, a car payment, power, water, etc etc etc... that come first on the bills list. I also would like to, maybe? Hopefully? though probably not going to happen...put my kids in swim lessons this summer.
And while I know that what chiropractors do is good and it will prevent me from having more health issues in the future...
It just doesn't seen $180 a paycheck urgent... you know what I mean?

Oh, I could tell you tales... I adore how going to the chiro makes my back feel. Ben went for awhile, and he had never felt better. But yeah, who can afford to go as much as they want us to go?? My mom has the best chiro. She only goes in when her back is out. And they don't give her crap or make her go in anymore until the next time her back is out. I need to get her chiro's name.
I only go when I can't move my neck or back without extreme pain. And yeah, they always say to come back all the time, but it's not going to happen. I say go when YOU want, on YOUR schedule.
My suggestion: see a physical therapist, instead. They can help you find immediate relief, then teach you how to strengthen your body to maintain itself! (I may be a little biased)
