| osteoarthritic of cervical spine
hi. what bothers me unceasingly is my neck. i have not been to my chiropractor since my neck developed osteoarthritis, but finally tryed a cervical chiro recommended by my asthma nurse who felt it could help my breathing also as he does not do the 'bone crunch'. my best friend had a manipulation done by a naturopath, she figured it would be hocus pocus, but it ceased her daily headaches. he had manipulated the spot at base of skull so this is what i hoped would happen at the chiro. all he did after xrays, was 'touch' my neck pushing lightly with one or two fingers, just below the ear while i laid on side, then xray again. he did NOT show me the xrays, and spoke of the next appointment as learning some exercises. physios here can do that for $10 copay. He cost $260, then $40 next time. am i wrong to be angry. i did go into it with no illusions of a cure, but i thought he would DO more in the way of adjustment. but at the very least, i thought he would show me the xrays. the fact that he didnt tells me they didnt show any change. i called today to ask if i could see xrays and was told no, but that he could answer my questions. so my question is, is this unusual?? are there other adjustments usually in follow up appointments or is this it, a 'touch' on neck? the other chiropractors i have seen at least DID something. all sorts of red flags have gone off with this guy.
