I went to the chiropractor today for my follow-up results. Dr. Iadeluca is a very nice doctor. And his office flows nicely (I would know, my office doesn't have that nice flow...) However, I am curious as to why it should cost me $500.00 for a muscle spasm in my back, due to carrying all of this weight!
To date in this pregnancy, I have gained 30 pounds. So of course, my posture isn't perfect (and I'm sure it never started out perfect). But because of the weight gain and strain on my back, I am having muscle spasms . Alot of that also has to do with sitting at a desk all day. Personally, I'd rather be laying down or doing other things too, but a girls' gotta work! So my treatment plan consists of 3 adjustments this week and next week, followed by 2 adjustments in the weeks after that until the baby is born.
Unfortunately my insurance doesn't cover all of that. I have a $15.00 copay per visit (ok, $30.00/week isn't too bad I guess) but that is only up to visit 15. They have me scheduled for 19 visits and want me to pay $65.00 per visit for those extra 4 not covered! Guess what ~ if my back feels better next week I will be cancelling the rest of those adjustments. But in the mean time, I will try anything to not be in pain for the remainder of my pregnancy. I'm even gonna get my own big yoga ball to bounce on. And there's a sticky note on my computer monitor that says "SIT BACK!"
But regardless, I layed on a table and Dr. Iadeluca cracked my back a few times today. And it felt WONDERFUL for about a half hour. Now I'm sitting at my desk, sitting back, but can feel the burn again. I'll give it a week or two. Then I'll decide......
