Glad to hear. I guess that since I have had severe chronic pain for eight years with little relief from everything I've tried, I tend to be a bit pessimistic. I had a chiropractor who ran a chain practice called Disc Centers of America tell me he could cure me with spinal decompression and supplement. All for the low,low price of $9600. I was so desperate that I almost took out the loan to begin treatments. Then, I did a search and discovered these places are a scam.

This treatment is not just supplements. It involves a sort of tens unit that produces electrical currents underwater while soaking feet. It also includes wearing an anodyne sort of shoe, doing both of these twice a day. It also includes some chiropractic treatment for a lower back. (I have had several laminectomies in lumbar and cervical area.) And if you go on the website for this particular chiropractor, or others that use the same combination of treatments, there are lots of very positive testimonials. I am not sure if I will try it or not.

It is so sad that some doctors stoop so low as to truly take advantage of those of us that are desperate to have relief from the pain. I had the same experience in The Villages, Florida. They were a well known chiropractic clinic that claimed to be able totally cure neuropathy. I did sign the contract for a few thousand dollars and after quite a few treatments saw it was going nowhere, decided to abandon them. Of course they turned it over for collection and my credit was hurt quite a bit. Decided to contact the BBB and soon learned that so many complaints had been submitted to them re: this outfit, that they could not even take any more! That leads to a question: I did go on line to read the list of neurologist in the Atlanta area that the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy suggested. I will read their reviews for sure; but, do you suggest going to each of them to see what they suggest (as long as my insurance company doesn't start screaming)??
