i have no way of confirming or disputing this chiropractor's diagnosis but i do have issues with the treatment plan. degeneration by definition is "wear and tear often due to aging". i don't believe it is possible to reverse aging by chiropractic adjustments but then again i am not a chiropractor who believes in those things. before mortgaging your house see an orthopedist for a medical opinion and have some imaging studies read by a radiologist. i think you will find a different perspective on your neck and low back issues
chiropractor trying to take me for a ride? . turns out i have phase 1 degeneration in my neck and lower back which he says can be completely fixed with therapy. the chiropractor said the way to do that would be to see him 2-3x per week for at least a year. my insurance only covers 12 visits per year so obviously that would get really expensive. if that's really what i have to do then i'll find a way to pay for it but i wanted to get an expert opinion on whether that would really be necessary.
