My Story: Helping Pay for Back Pain Treatment Plan

Being active was such a big part of Karla's life until suddenly, a car accident limited her ability to take part in her favorite activities, like swimming. Six months after the accident, her back pain was so severe that Karla sought professional help.

She visited a chiropractor who informed her that she had onset scoliosis from hip displacement that happened as a result of the accident. Adult onset scoliosis is caused by a degeneration of the small joints of the spine, leading to a curvature of the spine.¹

The treatment plan for her condition involved going to the chiropractor three times a week and getting acupuncture three times a week to alleviate pain and help her get back to her active lifestyle. Needless to say, that intensive regimen was more expensive than Karla anticipated!

The chiropractor presented the CareCredit credit card to Karla as a payment option. She said she felt like it was a huge relief; an additional burden taken off her (already taxed!) back. She applied for the card in the chiropractor's office and the treatment was charged to the card.

Taking on this grueling physical regimen made Karla feel stressed at times. Having her finances planned out and taken care of allowed her to focus on becoming pain-free and going through rehabilitation.

After a year's worth of treatment for her back pain with the chiropractor, Karla can go swimming again and play tennis. She uses her CareCredit card for monthly maintenance appointments with her chiropractor.
