Return of the chiropractor
01.10.08 (3:46 pm)   [edit]

After I picked up my orhotics, I figured I would be done with my chiropractor. Actually, I didn’t even want to see him before then. The receptionist told me that he preferred to discuss with his clients when getting their orthotics.

There was no discussion for me. My chiropractor had told me to read the instructions in the packaging.

Anyway, someone called me on my cell phone today. I thought it might be a job lead, so I answered. What a mistake. It was HIM. He was calling to get me to book an appointment!!! He didn’t even inquire about anything else! Well, he asked me how my holiday was. I guess he forgot I saw him right after Christmas.

And all he did was push, push, push for me to book an appointment. Sadly, I did not have the guts to tell him that I didn’t plan on seeing him ever again. Instead I lied and said I was going away, and that I would book an appointment when I got back. But even then he was still trying to get me to book an appointment for later.

I have never, ever had a health “professional&rdquo ; make a sales call with me!

I also saw my boss sitting on a chair with his foot on another chair (think of the elevated leg’s knee at a 90-degree angle) while he was in our retired CFO’s office chit chatting. Nice and professional looking!

Considering the % he makes on the orthotics, you would think he'd include instructing you on how to use them as part of the package. But it gives him an oppty to push his vitamins and pillows.

I work with a lot of chiropractors - there are some good ones and there are those that give them a bad name.

Ditch him for someone less pushy. Show some backbone to your chiropractor. heh

His business must really be hurting for him to do that.

I keep hearing about these good chiropractors, but I have yet to deal with any. I am not a fan of them anyway. I only went to this one because I was in a pinch with my knee.

I just thought it was really strange to get a phone call from my chiropractor since his schedule seems to fill up quite quickly whenever I use his online booking tool!

Speaking of the pain in your knee... has it subsided/gone yet?

There are those that work with a revolving door of patients - primarily personal injury sort of things. But there are a few that offer a more holistic approach including accupressure, nutrition, etc. I believe there is a middle ground between the cracking of joints and swallowing a pill as the only source of healing.

The original knee pain I had went away on its own, but since I've started wearing orthotics, my knee has been sore (and my hip!). I think it's just body adjusting to the orthotics.

Thanks, Juday :) I'm sure I will find a job that I like; it's just the company I need to be weary of!
