I really appreciate all the feedback...I've actually learned a lot! 
I did ask one of my coworkers today. I also found out that our insurance only covers $500 per year, and he told me he wiped that out pretty quick, because the x-rays went toward that.  Also, I read in the insurance book that it's applied to your deductible for the year, and my colonoscopy in Jan. pretty much wiped me out for that for the year.
But, this is what I found out about his chiropractor: he was making him come in 3 times a week at $145 a pop before the insurance stopped paying. Now that he's paying out of pocket, he said the guy said he's giving him a break and only charging $45. He said he also told the chiro he's only coming in 1 x per week, because it's too expensive. He said he's been going for about 3 months. He said the guy said it would prob. take 2-3 years to get him straightened out. He made him bring in his pillow (the guy from work said he asked him if he could come in his jammies, but he didn't think the chiro found him very amusing  ), he wanted him to get rid of his sneakers, buy 3 new pair, but not try them on till he got there, so the chiro could tell him which pair was best for him. He wanted to know if he could fix his allergies, free of charge.
My coworker said he does feel a little better (he had a pinched nerve in his neck that was causing tingling in his arm sometimes). He said that 2 other coworkers have gone to this chiro.
Well, what he's told me, he didn't sound very reassuring, but maybe that's just me. I'm definitely still researching. Heck, I've dealt with this thing 14 years, what's another so I can use my insurance. 
Oh yeah...you know what else he said. His OSTEOPATHIC DOCTOR sent him the to chiro. I need to check my providers again to see if I can find one--I don't know why only NY showed up. He said the reason she sent him to the chiro was because he was so leary of going to a chiro, because chiros do manipulation at a much slower pace than D.O.'s.--D.O.'s do their thing and that's that, where chiro's keep you coming back for more, basically is what he said.
