Mel,
Watch out for snake-oil salesmen.
I had a chiro tell me he could cure my neuropathy in just 20 visits
at $75 a visit ($1400.00-not insurance covered)
with a 10% discount if I paid it up-front.
Riiiight!!
I did go to him for an x-ray of my finger (trigger finger)
and he gratis x-rayed my feet & spine
(so fuzzy I couldn't tell if it was me or a cat).
I thanked him, paid for the finger x-ray and didn't let
the door hit me in my butt on the way out.
