Question
I've taken my daughter to numerous neurologists, etc., and have now sought the assistance of a chiropractor for her hemiplegic migraines. I believe the doctor to be competent (based on notoriety in the field) and compassionate, however, it is difficult to tell if I am on the short end of a hard sales pitch or just feeling the anxiousness of some one who is truly concerned for my daughter's well-being. I am also concerned as a single parent that this is a financial obligation not within my means to accept. My foremost concern is for my daughter, however, and I am also wondering which is the greater risk, seeking this professionals assistance or walking away from it.
