The first part of this post is located here. Now you have a better understanding of how a subluxation can influence negatively your life. If you want to remove it, you have to be adjusted which means going to a chiropractor. You’ll pay him or her a fee. The average is $35-40. I won’t get into the amount of time a chiropractor should spend with a patient, but most chiropractor I know spend between 10 minutes and 20 minutes for a treatment. He’ll then adjust your spine to correct your subluxations. And I think that it is important to ask ourselves how much is a subluxation worth.
I guess it depends on your condition. If you are in severe pain all day long, paying $40 to reduce your pain is definitely worth it. If your condition could be considered chronic, you’ll need more than 1 visit to your chiropractor. After all, the problem developed itself over a long period of time so correcting the cause will not be a quick fix.
You also have the prevention category of patients. They are in good health and get adjusted to improve their overall health. $40 once per month or 3 or 4 times per year is a good investment because subluxations tend to inflame the nerves coming out of the spine and these nerves go to your muscles, skin, heart and every cell of your body. So if the nerve flow is improved by removing the irritation caused by the subluxation, all the things linked to the nerve function better.
But what about those paying $40 every single week for a year, or 3 years? Are your subluxations worth 2000$ or more per year every year? No, unless your health is improving A LOT during this year. Subluxations are bad for your body but you can live with them. Don’t blindly follow the treatment plan of the chiropractor if it involves a lot of money for little results because subluxations may not be the only cause of your problem. Maybe you’d need some muscle therapy, maybe you’d need an exercise program, maybe even some changes in your nutrition or your posture at work. If your chiropractor incorporates all of the above in his treatment plan rather than just adjustments, he is giving out a lot more for the $40 that you are paying him.
