Less than impressed with my new chiro

MrsRebecca

Saw a chiro a few weeks ago- had a great experience and went a whole week back pain free! First time in about two months I went even one day without back pain.

Sad thing is that when I called my insurance they had outdated information and it turns out he was not covered. So my first visit was $85 and each one after that would be $40. I opted to find a new chiro that was covered so that all I had was my $15 co-pay.

Saw the new chiro today- much closer to home and of course, much cheaper.  I don't like him =(

My back is already starting to hurt again and I saw him at 2:00. He was also just kinda weird.  So now my choices are to try a third chiro or suck it up and pay $40/visit to see the first guy. Oh, and DH wants to see a chiro too (he is on his feet all day and often gets backaches) so we're talking $80/week to every two weeks- not budget friendly.

That's no good... I'd try a third one.

3rd one!  Also, you could call the original office and ask if they take your insurance, if they say no it gives you a great opprotunity to ask if they know anyone who does.

I think I'm going to. It's not like I *need* a chiro, you know? So there is no harm in seeing several until I decide on one I like. And truthfully, if DH didn't want to see him to I would probably just pay the $40 and see the first guy.  But I can't be selfish and tell him I'm seeing the chiro but he can't. KWIM?

I have a list of providers that do take my insurance...which is how I found the one I saw today. Or did you mean they may be able to refer me to one I'll like as much as the original?

Sometimes chiropractors are willing to kind of haggle the price if you explain the problem.  Especially if you say that your husband plans on coming in too.  I personally see a physical therapist for my low back and pelvic pain.  Yes, after the first adjustment there is some pain, but I have been feeling significantly better.  Good luck!

Heck, my copay for my OB is $40, and chiropractic isn't even covered, so personally I would go with the better provider.  But you know your budget better than anyone else.
