I'll tell my experience. I had never been to a chiropractor, I had heard some people were helped and others called them quacks. My back was so bad that I could not stand or walk for more than a couple of minutes. I couldn't even go to the grocery store, much less a mall. My Villages doctor ordered an MRI and suggested I go to back surgeon in Ocala and I would probably need fusion surgery.
I said to him, let me try a couple of things on my own first. In November of 2017 I went to Legacy Chiropractic for 3 weeks, nine sessions, total cost $1500. When I went for my initial visit, Dr. Kessler pulled up my MRI from Lake Imaging website and showed what was causing my pain. Said I needed Spinal Decompression therapy, they had a 10 week program for $3300 or if I paid all in full it would be $3,000. I paid $1500 and said I'll see if I feel better before I pay the balance.
I went for 3 weeks, nine sessions and felt no better. However they charged my credit card another $1500 after the eight session. When I questioned them about the charges, they showed me where when I signed off on the initial $1500 that I was also authorizing them to charge me again 2-1/2 weeks. This is for a 10 week program, what's the hurry to get my money. This whole thing stunk to me, and I felt no better than before.
I called and said, cancel my sessions and I want at $1500 refunded. Dr. Kessler got on the phone and pleaded with me to continue the sessions and how I wasn't giving them enough chance or giving them enough feedback.
I had asked Dr. Kessler twice if he knew or though that an inversion would help my back pain. I had read many good reports on line, it seemed logical that stretching your back with an inversion table wasn't much different than what they were doing. Having me lay on a table while a belt pulled up on my mid-section. Dr. Kessler said an inversion was not a good idea and was not what I needed.
The week after I left, I went to Dick's Sporting Goods in Ocala and bought a Teeter Inversion Table. Within five weeks my back was like new. No more pain, I could walk in the store, the mall, the treadmill. It was like a miracle. Now 16 months later my back is still like new.
As far as wrist pain, I posted on another thread of yours that you should get a referral to a neurologist and have a test done on the nerves in that hand. I had terrible hand and wrist pain in 2003 and the test showed I had one of the three major nerves to the hand pinched off. This is CPS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome), it requires surgery, which I had and recommend getting if that is the problem.
