Hi Dr Bunting. I have been seeing a new chiropractor for about 6 weeks now. I have been a patient in another province for a few years, but haven't been again in about 2 years or so. So, I started new with this chiro, who practises the activator method. I have been seeing him for about 2-3 times per week, and am now expecting the adjustments to taper off. When I had my assessment done, he suggested curve correction to take place in the near future, and that near future is now. I am asking this question because I am a skeptic, and am unsure of his intentions. He seems like a really trustworthy guy, but he wants to see me twice per week for the next 3 months, and once per week for the remainder of a year, which is 40 weeks. He also wants me to come back in for x-rays, and a re-evaluation, at an additional cost. This works out to a whopping $3086 over the course of a year. He also wants me to purchase a posture pump, if that is the correct term, to aid in fixing the curve in my neck. ($190) Oh and also in the future, orthotics- $400.The skeptic in me says, WHOA that's a lot of adjustments and A LOT of money. What do you think? Is it all really necessary?
The curve in my neck is slightly straightened out, and I am a headache sufferer. But aren't LOTS of peoples neck curve straightened out a bit?
