So, a little while ago (read, as soon as I got benefits again), I started seeing a new chiropractor. He's supposed to be a bit of a hot shot at what he does, I'm still on the fence.
I paid $90 for my first visit. Ok, I understand, it's a consultation, and there's things he needs to do. Really, the whole electrogram and heat sensing thing took all of 20 minutes, and the chiro did only the electro part himself. I'm sure the computer program he's using cost a pretty penny, but honestly doesn't make me feel like I was getting better treatment for him having done the readings. The areas of concern on the readings were and are the same areas where I feel pain.... coincidence? I think not.
Since that first visit I've been in 12 times. He wanted me to come 3x/week for 6 weeks, at $39/visit. That's all fine and well, but not everyone makes chiropractor's wages, and even though I have coverage for this.... it adds up pretty quickly, and I'm pretty sure that by the end of the year I'll be paying out of pocket. Thanks Alberta Medical. You rock... or not.
Anyways, today's plan is to have me come in for another scan and then an adjustment. That means today's visit is another $90, and then back on Friday for another $39 visit. My chiropractor makes my wallet hurt, and really hasn't helped my back noticibly. I'm witholding judgement until this scan comes back, and if it isn't any better.... I'll be looking for a new chiropractor.
