Default This may sound crazy

In fact I am fairly certain it is. I was sitting wondering about this crazy back issue and I remembered something. A while back we had a chiropractor office come to school and feed us lunch and do this free test thing on your spine. It was obviously to drum up business and the test was obviously nothing like an Mri. But they put these electrodes like things on you and spots that need attention show up yellow or red.I had three "red" areas. They said, of course, that I should make an appointment. I assured them that I would (liar liar pants on fire) Now I am wondering if I really should have. Anyone else had this free"test?"

I had a similar test, given by a chiro office at a farmer's market last summer. The red lines were on one side at the top and the other side on the bottom. I've been seeing this chiro since then and love him! I can walk almost normally now.

But that's me. Getting set up with a chiropractor is expensive unless your insurance covers it. You would know within a few visits if the adjustments help, but it can be costly experiment.

Hope you find something to help soon!

I haven't been diagnosed with MS, but I have a lot of MS symptoms. I've been seeing a Chiropractor to manage the pain and to improve my mobility. I do not have insurance, but it turns out after the first visit it's relatively inexpensive. I paid $100 for the first visit, after that it's $40 a visit.

For me, it's helped a GREAT deal, and it's so worth it. If you have the money to spend, it's worth giving it a shot.

Many Dr.'s offices offer a break for self-pay clients. It's a lot easier on them to not have to deal with submitting to insurance companies, and also guarantees that they'll make X amount of dollars, because you'll typically pay up front.

Hope this helps!
