So I went in today to discuss a plan with the chiropractor. He showed me the x-rays compared with the spine of a healthy individual. He recommended an initial period of visits 3-4 times a week for one month, then 2 times a week for two months, and once a week for one month to finish. Each visit would cost me a $20 copay for a total of $680 over the 3-month period. I'm only 23 and understand the necessity of correcting a back problem early on before I really start to feel it later on in life, but I want to make sure this is really going to fix the problem. $680 is more than what I get for financial aid for the quarter so this is a serious investment for me. Any other advice? I keep hearing a mixed bag of things regarding chiropractors. The main vibe I get is that it works for some people, but not all.
