I think my back's out of alignment, so I made an appt. to see a chiropractor, but I've never been before. I get really nervous about doctor's appointments. What am I in for??
Answer:
Your first appointment will mostly likely consist of nothing more than talking about whats been bothering you and where, an exam of your back, posture, etc., possibly xrays (not in all cases but if something indicates one is warranted you will be sent for some), a short video on your spine, it's function and how chiropractics works, etc. Nothing to worry about! If you don't find that your personalities click don't feel bad about seeking out another one. Ask around with your friends/co-workers - maybe they've been to one they really liked..you need to be comfortable with your doctor. A chiropractor isn't a one appointment deal like going to your MD for a sinus infection - it usually takes multiple appointments and some people end up seeing their chiro a few times a year for a quick "tune up" after the initial problem settles down! Good luck.
YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE!
Your in for a "temporary fix" and he'll make sure you have to see him at least once a month for the rest of your life. DON'T DO IT!!!!
Ignore igore.what a wimp!! You are obviously experiencing pain %26 discomfort at present otherwise you would not have made an appointment!!
I am not going to say it's pain free but the relief that you experience after is worth all the manipulating you are going to be put through, which really is not as bad as it sounds!! I gather you are going to see a qualified practitioner, who has probably studied for at least 7 years, infact he/she normally knows more about the skeleton,muscles,ligaments etc than most doctors!! You will be fine darling...%26 your posture will be great afterwards too! You may need to visit on a few occassions at first %26 then every 3-4months..Can be costly but you can't put a price on our health.. In some cases though no follow up appointments are necessary! I am sure you will come back %26 say how much better you feel. Best wishes... Takecare
It's not that bad, he or she will do an exam, find out how your posture is take it from there and maybe adjust you. But they will expect you to come back quite often to "keep it aligned"
Don't worry, there is no pain at all. Good Luck, and feel better.
