Not correct. I was referred to Chiropractic by the VA. I am happy they did because my United Health Care provided only one answer to my intermittent nerve issues which make my right hand unusable - carpal tunnel operation! I knew, and even the medical Dr. acknowledged my evaluation, that the pain in my hand was brought on by activities that had nothing to do with carpal tunnel constriction. I went to VA and they agreed - besides VA will not cover carpal tunnel operations!! Explain that. I am making progress with Chiropractic adjustments where a carpal tunnel operation would most likely have provided no help. I am going to Alignlife, and if you do, you will learn a lot about what Chiropractors do and why. Their education program at Alignlife is impressive with an upfront required education session and total evaluation including xrays of your entire system, and alignment measurements/charts which are completely discussed with you by a Chiropractor before you agree to treatment. As with other new things, it is wise to "know before you go".
