So, Jess posted about this in her journal, but I thought I'd ask you all, too.

Here's the thing. We both started Chiropractic care around the same time, about six months ago. At that time, I was classified as a "stage four," meaning permanent damage, but they could minimize the pain. I was paying out of pocket, and concerned about expenses. At that time, they told me that it would be approximately 8 weeks of 3 times a week, then it would start to taper down. After about seven weeks, I mentioned it to my doctor, and that it wasn't helping during a visit. He checked me over and told me to stop because he was concerned about the adjustments shifting the bones around too much, and causing potential paralysis.

Jess, who has insurance, was classified as a "stage one." That's the lowest level. Her treatments weren't outlined as clearly, and here we are six months later, and she's still going 3 times a week. I haven't seen a whole lot of improvement, really. And now that she has her own electric muscle stimulator, that's one part of the treatment that's kinda redundant.

So, the question is: Does that sound like the doctor is taking advantage of a patient's "unlimited visits" insurance or not?
