Bend Over

[cbat]

So I went to the chiropractor this morning. Simple adjustment between shoulder blades and 1 on neck. 1 on hips.
$65.00 for mid back and neck and then an additional $35.00 for hips so $100.00 total for less than 5 minutes.
What are you paying ?

$50 Co pay per visit. Our local just started a new co-op between other unions with a healthcare center about an extra 15 minute drive but all services there are free to members. Haven't been enough to decide if they're worth it though.

$200/month for once weekly visits. Neck, back, and hips. No insurance.

With a happy ending or without ?

I suffer for free.

 

[Lyfter1013]

I pay $35 a visit

Mine is like $150 for the full tune-up without insurance. 30-45 minutes.

I have an old guy who knows what he is doing. All he has to do is just watch you walk
Head to toe senior discount $40 for a half hour tune up. I go once a month.

I'm still in the camp of chiropractors are BS.
When you get cracked and popped, endorphins are released by your body. Sure you feel good then, but that feeling goes away.
Next thing you know, you're back at the chiro forking over $50+ a week

Chiro coupled with PT has helped so far.

i was curious what kind of "bent over" was occurring upon clicking the thread.

i've always been pretty skeptical of chiropractic care.

I think people should spend their money on a physical therapist instead if they have chronic pains.

I was that way until I wasn't. I don't rely on chiropractic care, but I've seen it work. I tweaked my knee in 2019 and dealt with it for 2 years expecting soft tissue damage. Finally mentioned it to the chiropractor and she found my fibula was out of place. I got my leg bone popped that day and have been pain free since.

I also feel that a good chiropractor should agree that PT is often necessary though. Mine certainly does.

Placebos work. And they tend to work better the more they cost.

Never been to one. Maybe I don’t know what I’m missing?

Me neither. Nor have I been to a masseuse.

I stopped going. Chiropractic medicine is a scam IMO. There’s a good bit of info out there about how the neck adjustments can increase the risk of a stroke, and that the adjustments on the whole really don’t do much as any “realignment” doesn’t last very long. Hence why you need to keep going back.

I just got one of those Chirp wheels, and I use that to crack & stretch out my back when it’s feeling bent outta shape. Does about as good as the chiro ever did.

Was she wearing yoga pants at least?

 

[JustinsDad]

I pay $60 a session

There are scammers but there are also fantastic chiropractors that do great work. Doctors told me I needed back surgery for sure. That was 20 years ago and non-force chiropractic has kept me going.

But no happy endings…..

I don't think I could be paid to go to the chiro. I can get my wife to step on my back for "free".

 

[OntarioHunter]

Haven't been to one in over fifteen years. Maybe half a dozen times during my lifetime. The vitamins and crap they try to peddle is always a laugh. "Sorry. That wasn't me you saw fall off the "stupid" truck yesterday." See ya!
