xpost from disability forum-SS is sending me to a Chiropractor for a MENTAL & physical exam

[fed-up]

I am totally confused-wouldn't that be practicing medicine without a license???

1. Many chiropractors practice alternative remedies like acupuncture...

which claim to have remedies for mental and physical ailments. Or perhaps the theory is that pressure on your spinal cord in that region can cause mental symptoms and a spinal adjustment may help. I don't know if it works or not, but if SS is paying for it, it may be worth a try... it probably has fewer side-effects than your average prescription medication. It sounds like a harmless first step, anyway.
