Chiropractors

Good for u, tomorrow is your special day.Hope u get everything worked out & can get some help w/your problems.

Thank you, Jo. It will be next month before I can go to the chiropractor because that's when I get paid again. That is, if I do go. I've been thinking that I might find out if Medicaid will pay for physical therapy and if any physical therapists around here will accept Medicaid. I think this might save me some money in the long run because Medicaid won't pay for chiropractic and I've just had to pay for it out of my pocket. Another mylotter suggested trying physical therapy, anyway. Chiropractors are very good with helping people with allergies. If Medicaid will pay for physical therapy, I will let the therapist help me with my joint problems and let my regular doctor help me with my allergies. In the meantime, I'm not going to let my aches and pains spoil my birthday, lol! Kathy.

I think it's interesting that youall had 43 horses and 7 mules. That's a lot of them! I guess the most we ever had was 12 horses at one time. We did have some mules when I was younger but we just had 2. We didn't have them both at the same time, though. We also had up to over 100 cattle at one time. Kathy.

Yes, I know a lot of people have had bad experiences with them. I've had nothing but good experiences with them, though. I went to one one time several years ago that I thought was a little too rough, though, and I never did go back to him. I'm not 24 any more, btwlol! I'm going to be 58 the day after tomorrow! Yes, Thursday is my birthday! I just went to my first chiropractor when I was 24. I didn't mean to get off the subject but I think it's interesting that this chiropractor you go to now also works on horses and dogs. Do you ever watch rfdtv? I get dishnetwork and I watch that station a lot. It's rural america's most important network. There is a lot of good stuff on that station for horse owners. Every so often they have a woman on there who does massages on horses and mules. It's very interesting. Kathy.

First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY the day after tomorrow !!! The lady who is the chiro and does dogs and horses is also a two time circuit barrel racer winner. She had saddles and pictures of herself and her two daughter all over her office. I can get rfdtv but hardly ever watch tv except at night about supper time. I've heard of people who do massages on horses and mules. We used to have about 43 head of horses and seven mules ourselves. But with hubby sick we only have a few that are farmed out now. But I love them all the same. Take care and enjoy rfdtv and the chiro ! and again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY lol

yes I am just wished her friend would come around I would like another one lol. they are great . Bet you wish they hadnt gone out of business!

Well, at least you're saving money by letting your daughter or one of her friends massage you. I used to get massages when I worked at the European Health Spa. I also used to get them when I worked there. When I got massages, I never had to go to the chiropractor. My main job at this spa was to do nails but it's gone out of business now. Thank you for responding. Kathy.

No I don't have the same chiropractor now because we have moved from the city. I don't often need one these days, so it's OK. But there is a chiropractor in the village where we now live that I may try if I need one. _Derek

I'm glad you found a chiropractor who could help you. Do you still go to this chiropractor? I have Medicaid and it won't pay for chiropractic, I hate to say. I'm thinking about seeing if Medicaid will pay for physical therapy and if any physical therapists around here will accept Medicaid. If this is the case, I think it will save me some money in the long run. Not that I'm against chiropractic. In fact, I always feel so much better when I go to one. It's just that since my insurance won't pay for it, I just have to pay for it out of my pocket. If I end up going to one anyway, it will be next month before I can go because I don't get paid again until the first of March. Thank you for responding. Kathy.

Thank you, CJ. I appreciate you telling me about Limu Plus. It all sounds very good. Does it really work, though? Have you ever tried it? I might want to think about it before I try it. I know you said I could get my money back on it but I just want to make sure because I'm living on a fixed income. Thank you for responding. Kathy.

Well dear, I drink Limu Plus everyday. I however do not suffer from chronic pain. So, as to my personal experience of it working, I can only tell you. That it makes my energy level higher, and allows me to handle the stresses of working in a restaurant better then before I started taking it. If you are concerned about such things, I would be more then happy to send you a free bottle first. And if you wanted to talk to someone that has suffered from chronic pain...http://cybersolutionz.com/mrsa/ there are many others as well. http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/dlouhyvita/message/11134 So, there it is. If you want me to send you a bottle, my next order is coming this week sometime, So I could ship it off on Monday. Then you can let your personal laboratory decide for you. Being on a fixed income could be discussed as well. If this is something that does interest you dear. I would highly recommend writing me a personal note. Privately, so as to not put personal information on the discussion board. I appreciate you.

Hi Mike4me! At least, you're saving some money this way. As long as the herbal stuff and liniments help you, I guess it's all right. I use liniments, drink herbal tea, take Ibuprofen, and Tylenol P.M. Sometimes these things don't alwqays help, though. I always say to each his own. Thank you for responding. Kathy.

I've been thinking that I might try physical therapy if Medicaid will pay for it and if any physical therapists around here will accept Medicaid. It won't pay for chiropractic and I just have to pay for it out of my pocket all the time. If I end up going to the chiropractor again, it may be next month since I get paid again around the first of March. I've had horses all of my life but I never have used any horse liniment on them or myself. The horses that we use at the therapeutic riding center are given glucosamine every so often, probably everyday. I don't feed any of those horses, myself, so I don't know how often they're given it. It sounds like the first chiropractor you went to is like some regular doctors if he didn't have time talk to you or anything. I'm just glad you found one you like and that will adjust you only if he thinks you need it. I always feel a lot better when I've had an adjustment, too. I remember your husband telling me that youall had a heated mattress pad. I never have met your husband but he seems like a nice guy. I especially like his sense of humor, lol! Kathy.

Hi Leslie! It sounds like you really have had some bad experiences with chiropractors. I never have had those experiences, myself, but if I had, I probably wouldn't go back to them, either. I never have been to a chiropractor that wanted me to come 3 times a week. Like I said, I have been to one who wanted me to come back the next week but I didn't go if I was feeling better. I really have a lot of allergies and they have helped me with this, too. I just might go ahead and do like you said. I might check out a place who does physical therapy and take my allergies to my regular doctor because Medicaid won't pay for chiropractic. The Hope Clinic here in town is moving to a larger and new location and they're adding more facilities, which will include chiropractic, dental, and eye services. I'm going to see if I qualify for it after they move because there are some things Medicaid won't cover. Thank you for responding. Kathy.

I use to go to a chiropractor who wanted me to keep coming back every week. However, I didn't go unless I hurt. I don't think they're this pushy any more. Chiropractors are very good about helping people with allergy problems and I have a lot of those. I'm thinking about checking out physical therapy and letting them help me with my joint problems and going to my regular doctor for my allergy problems. You see, I have Medicaid and Medicaid won't pay for chiropractic. First of all, I'm going to see if Medicaid will pay for physical therapy and if there are any physical therapists around here who will accept Medicaid. I think this will help me save some money in the long run because I've had to pay for chiropractic out of my pocket. Kathy.

I've heard of osteopath but never knew what it was exactly. I've also heard of natureopath and have tried one of its techniques to get rid of a sinus headache. I'm glad it really helped you and especially after one visit. Chiropractors are good with helping people with allergies and I have a lot of those. The only problem is, I have Medicaid and Medicaid won't pay for chiropractic. I just have to pay for it out of my pocket. I think what I'm going to do is see if there are any physical therapists who will accept Medicaid and If Medicaid will pay for physical therapy. If they do, I'm just going to go to one for my joint problems and let my regular doctor take care of my allergies. Thank you for responding. Kathy.

Thank you, anniefannie. I may go sometime next month, if I do. It's just that my money is running low right now and I'll have to wait till I get paid again. In the meantime, I may do what Opal suggests below because I have Medicaid. Medicaid won't pay for chiropractic and I just have to pay for it out of my pocket everytime. I need to be feeling better in time for my birthday, which is Thursday, LOL ! What I mean is, I'm not going to dwell on my aches and pains and just have a good time. Kathy.
