So, 1 1/2 yrs ago I went to a chiropractor for the 1st time due to a very badly sore neck. she used the Gonstead method and fixed my neck almost instantly. But she said the core problem was my back, and started a process of adjusting my back. The vertebra kept sliding back to it's old bad spot, and even though by back has "always" been a bit sensitive, it wasn't really bothering me. However, from now on, every time she adjusted my back, I'd end up with a new kind of neck pain, which she said was due to the rest of the spine aligning and shifting. She kept wanting me back, I kept paying, and kept getting neck pains every time. At the end I'd had it, so I stopped going. She had said that even though I may get some pain in my neck, my back still needed to be taken care of. BUT: if my back felt "fine" and my neck now was good as long as she didn't do anything, why should I then go and have it adjusted in order to feel pain again????? I just didn't get it.
So, anyway, now my neck went bad again today, 1 1/2 yrs later, and I went and saw her again today. I'm a bit better, but will need to be seen again tomorrow because it's still not good at all. She said today that my back is really bad, I had several spots that needed adjustment. And I know she was at the right places, she found them without me telling her where they were. So she's not wrong about my back being bad, but I can now see her wanting me in over and over and over.... And her prices went up from $35 to $45 per visit... Not good for our finances right now, and our insurance doesn't cover a dime.
What do you think of all of this, good and bad???
I heard of another lady who supposedly uses a gentle way of adjusting, and the guy that recommended her said he'll go in for one or two adjustments if he gets a neck pain, and that's it. She charges only $27 per visit. I'm going to try her tomorrow...
I'm just so unsure about whether this is "normal" and if it is right, the way she is expecting me to be OK with new pain and keep coming back for more....
I'd LOOOVE your thoughts on this!
