Frequently Asked Questions
No question is a bad question!
If your immediate questions are not answered here or elsewhere on our website, please contact us so we can answer them!
-How much does it cost for an initial visit?
Our new patient visit consists of a full consultation and examination for $95. If x-rays are needed, they are an additional $75 for a full spine series. If appropriate, we will begin treatment that day as well bringing the maximum out of pocket expense for your initial visit to $295.
-Do you accept insurance?
Our focus is on you and helping you reach your healthcare goals, so we have structured our practice to make sure our time is allotted to you and not hassling with third party payors. While we do not accept or bill insurance, we offer convenient payment plans, accept Care Credit financing, and can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance carrier for potential reimbursement, this is per your policy coverage and not a guarantee of payment.
-Is chiropractic safe?
Yes! Chiropractic is a natural form of healthcare, it's gentle and non-invasive. Chiropractors must complete 3-4 years of undergraduate education and 4 years of chiropractic education prior to being eligible to complete the state and national board exams in order to become licensed to practice.
-What techniques do you use?
We use a combination of the Activator Technique, Diversified (Manual) Technique, Thompson Drop-Table Technique, Flexion-Distraction Technique, Myofascial Soft-Tissue Therapies, Low Level Laser Therapy, and Whole Body Vibration Therapy. If you prefer a particular technique to be used during the course of your treatment, your request will be honored as long as we are familiar with that particular technique. At the end of the day, we want you to be satisfied with your care and results!
-I've had neck or back surgery, can I still receive chiropractic care?
Many individuals who have undergone spinal surgery before have been able to receive chiropractic care afterwards. However, the chiropractic treatment approach is modified to avoid the surgically treated areas. **Ultimately, determining whether you are a candidate for chiropractic care is done after a full consultation and exam have been performed. At that point, the decision will be made on whether to move forward with chiropractic treatment or a referral should be made to another health professional. Either way, you won't be left to fend for yourself!**
-Are chiropractic adjustments painful?
Adjustments typically are not painful. However, every individual's body responds to adjustments differently depending on what their body is going through at that time. Don't fret! If you experience soreness, know that the soreness after adjustments are par for the course and will subside within a few days. There are home-care recommendations that will be given to you to help address the soreness and to maintain comfort until your primary issue calms down.
-What's the noise you hear during the adjustment?
Usually when you receive a Diversified or Manual Adjustment, you will often hear the adjustment. That's OK! All that noise is, is the gas that has built up over time and is being released from the joint to relieve pressure allowing for greater, more appropriate range of motion of that joint. Chiropractors don't "crack" or "pop" bones. We simply adjust your spine to keep joint pressure and stiffness to a minimum and, most importantly, relieve pressure from the nervous system so the communication between your brain and body is functioning at its best.
