I must being doing something right. I rarely get sick.

GrandmaD
KathyMe too, It's been 18 months since the last covid (cold)

Kathy
GrandmaD I couldn't even tell you the last time...but they say the mind is the first to go...lol. Now, pain? That's a different story.

GrandmaD
KathyI hear you with the pain, slipped a disk over two years ago, and having nerve pain now..

Kathy
GrandmaD Ouch. Mine's degenerative plus congenital hip dysplasia.

GrandmaD
KathyOuch, have the degenerative discs and now acute arthritis, some scoliosis, whatever that is. 35 years of bad back..

Kathy
GrandmaD scoliosis is curvature of the spine. Had that too because of all my stuff, but after years of chiropractic treatment, spine is back inline. My chiro at the beginning said I was a rare duck because with scoliosis, the top of the spine and the bottom of the spine don't line up, but mine did.... View More

GrandmaD
KathyBeen going to a chiropractor, and do feel a difference after I go.

Kathy
GrandmaD I've had a couple different ones over the years. One I was going to for YEARS was absolutely wonderful. My hubby at the time had literally carried me into his office a couple times, and I would come out on my own dancing. He had to retire and his replacement was about worthless, so I don... View More

Kathy
GrandmaD Where abouts is it out? Upper, middle, low?

Kathy
GrandmaD Basically, an inversion table basically stretches the spine/decompresses. Chiro manipulation should be the moves to pop back in and if he/she's not accomplishing that, I'd look for a new chiro.

GrandmaD
KathyI haven't seen him in a month, insurance only pays for 12 visits a year. Was doing a lot better after the visits. I'm hoping I have some visits left..

Kathy
GrandmaD Hopefully, you do. 12 isn't much. I was going before I got on Medicare and they were only charging me $35.00 a visit. I would go almost once a week. The good old days. The ones Medicare covers are about worthless. You miss where I asked you what part of the spine you think is out of align?

GrandmaD
KathyMine charges 85 a visit, insurance pays all but 10. The insurance company always tries to get out of paying for it though, like they will say, we only pay for one area or something. They're evil.

Kathy
GrandmaD Yeah, most insurance will only cover the actual manipulations and nothing more. When I talked to mine after I got Medicare, he said it would probably cost the same because they wouldn't cover what I call the roller bed, which decompresses the spine as well, and the roller bed did a lot of ...

GrandmaD
KathyI'll have to ask about that one, I doubt insurance will pay for that one either.

Kathy
GrandmaD If you insurance is a Medicare supplemental insurance, it won't.
