Recently, I went to Legacy Chiropractic at Laurel Manor for excruciating back pain. One gentleman came in and said that he had seen this before and could take care of me. I, then had x-rays to the tune of $120.00 payable right away. Note x rays, most generally, are not covered by insurance UNLESS they are ordered by an MD. They applied an ultrasound which gave some relief. Expecting a second treatment the next day, a young lady came in and gave us an 'infomercial' on a table that would stretch me out and would also improve posture.....to the tune of $1500.00. They also informed me that they could set up a 'payment plan' which was hardly the issue. We had three 'closers' come in trying to cram in as many visits as they could since we go up north for the summer. Needless to say, here is my good advice: See an MD so your insurance will cover it and have your MD refer physical therapy...which I will do.
