free consult

[julie4470]

There is an office here in town that has a "regular" physician and a chiro who work together. They are also supposed to work with neuropathy (somewhere between them I guess lol). Anyway, they are offering free consultations. I am going to give it a try. I know the "free" part will only go so far and that it is offered to attract patients, but I figure it might be interesting to see what they have to say. No question here really I guess. :)  Well, maybe one. I have read that if you are under the care of a neuro and waiting to find out what (if anything) is wrong, you might not want to see a chiro. Any truth to that?

I'm going out on a limb here and stating this is only my opinion based on prior experience.

I see a neuro and an osteopath, which is not the same as a chiro.
I refuse to use a chiro......if someone is going to manipulate my back
and spine, I want someone who went to medical school...........
all the way thru...........
my osteopath went to medical school and then specialty school and
I think after having him for over 30 yrs, he is well versed in MS, we'v had many conversations about it.  

Just my opinion, but yeah, I'd try the MD but am curious if they are doing it for charity, or advertising or what.  Just be careful what you sign or agree to.......keep us posted AND look up the MD online to see if he has any problems lodged against him, just to be forewarned.

Thanks Sarah. I saw a chiro years ago but she was one who did not do "popping". Hard to explain what she did! Anyway, I am somewhat afraid of any kind of manipulation so I plan to only SPEAK to them. I guess I am sort of feeling a little desperate for some direction. I think I can get a general "feel" for what I think and then decide from there. You are right and I definitely won't be signing up for anything! I guess for lack of better reasoning, I am curious.

Can't resist.  From my second wife's years as a medical claims analyst: HOW MANY CHIROPRACTORS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHT BULB?  Just one, but it takes eight visits!
