I would beware of any chiropractic practice that wants you to "sign on" for a specific amount of time. I go for chiropractic adjustments regularly. They are covered by my insurance minus my co-pay. They have never requested me to make any commitment. I just call like I would any other practicioner, when I want to get in for an appointment.
I don't think chiropractic adjustments would make a difference in your neuropathy, unless the nerve damage is coming from something in your spine. If that is the case you should know this from EMG/NCV testing.
I find the adjustments beneficial because my gait is off due to the neuropathy and it helps keep things alligned.

Thanks to everyone that has given me their thoughts and experiences. We have decided to not go ahead with this - the long term commitment seems very suspect!

He did take Xrays and certainly the lower back and neck seemed quite out of alignment, but we're beginning to wonder if they were even my husbands X-rays

Thanks again, Linda

I would get x rays independently, or have your primary dr order them and then get a copy to take to any possible DC appts.
