Chiropractic Aftermath


Well, I just got done with my follow up chiropractic visit. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. First the doctor brought me in the education room and went through a slide show with me. Then he analyzed my X-rays and showed me that my vertebrae were actually turning like a corkscrew. This was causing my shoulder muscle to not receive signals from my nerves to work properly. This caused my shoulder to not be latched down like it was supposed to, thus causing my shoulder blade to stick out. Anyways, he then brought me into his exam room and he cracked my back better than its ever been cracked before. He had me lay and sit in various positions and snapped my spine back into place. After realigning my spine, he sent me in with the massage therapist who gave me a 22 minute massage to the tune of some soothing music. That part I really liked. After the massage, they brought me over to do some physical therapy. They had me do various exercises with the rubber balls which worked my neck, shoulder, and lower back. After breaking a sweat they had me lay down and strapped electrodes to my back. Then they zapped me for about 15 minutes. It actually didn't hurt like I thought it would. It just tingled and felt good. Well, the whole visit took about 2 hours, and they want me to come back 24 more times!! They need to keep working on my back they said so it will stay fixed and not get worse. The thing is each visit costs me $50.00!! So all together with equipment and appointments its going to cost me $1600. Danielle doesn't approve of this and says I either choose the wedding or my treatment. That's pretty harsh. So, I guess I will have to postpone my treatment for now. I'll have to suffer a few more months because after the wedding I am definitely going to finish my treatment! Questions or comments ...... please indulge me!
