Chiropractic BioPhysics® method of rehabilitation?

[Rudy Pohl]

Hi Mark and Maria:

Thanks for both your thoughtful replies. I am still in the process of deciding what to do. The year-long chiro program consists of 90 visits which include manual adjustments, posture-correcting traction and posture-correcting exercises. If you pay for the full program in advance the cost goes from $4,000 to $3000. I live far from the clinic so my transporatation costs would be about another $1000, bringing my total cost to $4000.

I have no insurance or any other kind of coverage, so I am trying to weigh the cost-benefits of this treatment as opposed to just working out at home like a little beaver (hey, I'm Canadian!) to strenthen my core and doing some passive traction using a simple foam lumbar device.

I have spent about 40 hours so far researching this chiropractic treatment and somehow think that I could do almost as well on my own working on my core and doing some passive lumbar traction. My sense is that even if I were to do the year-lomg program, a great deal of my improvement would be as a result of me diligently doing core-strengthening exercises.

Any final thoughts?

Thanks again,
Rudy
