​

How much will it cost? Do you take my insurance?

Please see our Insurance & Fees page.​

​

What if I only want a certain kind of adjustment?

We use several different chiropractic methods, and there is something for everyone! You will be able to choose from gentle to dynamic adjustments, which can be done by hand, with an adjusting instrument, or the drop table.

​

Will I be treated on the first visit?

If no advanced imaging, testing, or other relevant case information is required to safely and appropriately begin treatment, you will be treated during the first visit if time allows.

​

Do you take xrays or require imaging?

In the majority of cases, we do not require imaging to provide some type of treatment.  We will refer you for imaging if we cannot safely provide treatment without it or need further diagnostic information to provide the best treatment.  For example, car accident cases or post-traumatic cases may expect to be referred for imaging.  If you have had imaging in the past few years, please provide the report with your intake forms.

​

What is a treatment like?

Treatment includes a combination of adjustments and manual therapies as recommended by the Doctor and agreed upon by you.  All therapies are interactive and often involve your participation, therefore do not expect to receive treatment, but rather be active in producing your treatment. 

​

What should I expect after the treatment?

We expect all patients to comply with homecare advice, such as icing, exercise, and stretching instructions. This is especially important in the first few visits.  You may experience some soreness the days after treatment, similar to post-exercise.  The home instructions given are designed to facilitate healing and reduce the number of treatments required to treat your condition.

​

How many treatments should I expect?

This depends on the severity and chronicity of the complaint.  With something that has been present for years or decades, expect a little more work.  Many patients experience reduced symptoms within 1-3 visits, though complete recovery can take 8-12 visits.  You will not be asked to sign up for a treatment plan, rather we ask you to be involved in determining the right frequency for you.
