Yes, we do take insurance. On your first visit we will ask to make a copy of your insurance card. We will check with your insurance company and see if you have any contribution for the care you receive in our office. Many of our practice members do not have insurance that contributes to Chiropractic care. You will find our rates are extremely affordable for you to receive the recommended care plan our Doctors create for you.

We charge $55 per adjustment, however, we are able to make your care more affordable by creating a specific care plan for you. Your plan is designed to map out the adjustments you will need to change your spine and improve the function of your nervous system based on your unique situation and current health challenges. Chiropractic is, in our opinion, best utilized with regular adjustments, similar to exercise…one work out does not get you in shape, and typically neither does one adjustment. Based on your evaluation findings, we will give you our best recommendation for your care. The frequency of your adjustments is determined by the severity and number of subluxations in your spine.

Care plans in our office range from $139-$249 a month. We will also check with your insurance company and see if you have any contribution for the care you receive in our office, which may reduce your out of pocket expenses.

We prefer not to, here is why. Your health is our main priority. We would never risk your health without thoroughly evaluating the results from your first visit in our office. We have a minimum of 2 staff doctors review each case in our office. Your first visit we will collect all of your information along with any necessary scans and X-ray’s. We will then schedule a follow up visit in the next day or two to review the results of your evaluation, answer any new questions, and give you your first adjustment in our office!

Our work is based on a technique called CBP (Chiropractic Bio-Physics www.idealspine.com), which focuses on correcting shifts in your spinal column. We use a combination of drop tables, adjusting instruments, and traditional diversified adjustments with that “pop” many people associate with Chiropractic. Part of our initial evaluation is to learn any concerns you may have about adjustment’s, and address them so that we can find the most comfortable and effective way for you to get adjusted.

No, there is no lifetime contract. Practice Members leave care when they like. No, chiropractic is not addictive, unless you consider a desire for better health to be unhealthy. Yes, you should have Chiropractic care for as long as you wish to function on an optimal basis, physically, mentally and socially, which to a sane person is a lifetime affair. Funny, nobody ever asks the dentist this question.

We are highly skilled in performing traditional adjustment once we have determined those types of adjustments are safe for you.

This depends on the severity of your subluxations, and the level of degenerative (arthritic) changes present. After your initial evaluation we will know the answer to this, and we will go over this with you when you return to go over the results of your first visit.

Yes, we prefer to know exactly what is happening with the structure of your spine before we give you an adjustment. We also utilize post X-ray’s at certain intervals in your care plan. Most people report that they feel better after receiving Chiropractic care. We prefer to objectively measure progress in your spine achieved through care in our office, and the post X-ray’s are a great way to do this! Post X-ray’s also hold us more accountable to our Practice Members, and allows us to track the changes happening in your spine.

An evaluation in our office takes 15-20 minutes. Typically filling out new Practice Member paperwork adds the most time to your initial visit. Please download or print your new Practice Member paperwork from our website to expedite your visit. We pride ourselves on being an extremely punctual office so please arrive to your appointment 5 minutes early…I promise you this is not your typical doctors office experience!

Yes, there are chiropractors that are quacks, thieves and lunatics. However, there are medical doctors that are quacks, thieves and lunatics, but they "blend in" better. If you went to a bad dentist, you would look for another one rather than waiting for your teeth to fall out. If your plumber couldn't fix a broken pipe in your house, are you going to let your house flood? No! So, if you have been to a bad chiropractor, find a better one-someone that better suits your needs.

Medicare and Medicaid are not covered in our office. Medicare has deemed our services as “wellness care” and therefore does not contribute to care in our office.

Everyone is different. We wish we could somehow predict how fast your body will heal, but there are several factors involved. Our focus is to remove any blockages to your body’s nerve supply caused by spinal shifts called subluxations. All cellular repairs are controlled and coordinated by your central nerve system. Therefore, our goal is to maximize expression of life through the adjustment. How quickly this translates into you feeling better is different in each person based on things like degenerative changes, your exercise habits, stress levels, diet, and the number of medications you take, just to name a few variables.

We utilize drop tables and adjusting instruments that are gentle and effective – no popping necessary!

Chiropractic is vastly safer than any drug or medical procedure. Chiropractic malpractice premiums are miniscule compared to those paid by M.D.'s. When a chiropractor makes a mistake, nothing (as opposed to a good result) happens, or one might end up a little sore. Compare this to these frightening statistics for the other team. It has been estimated that over 100,000 people die each year in this country from prescription drugs taken in the controlled medical environment, the hospital. About 2 million hospital patients a year (between 5 to 10% of the hospital population) acquire a nosocomial (from the hospital) infection, from which there are between 100,000 and 300,000 deaths. It has been estimated that there are between 3 million and 6.25 million unnecessary surgeries annually, resulting in between 40,000 and 83,000 unnecessary deaths. Prescription errors are skyrocketing.

Our oldest client is 99 years old, and most weeks we adjust newborns as well. 30% of our practice is composed of children. This is because many of our Practice Members want their children to reach their full potential, and 100% nerve supply is an important part of that equation.
