n I expect on my first visit?
The initial office visit will take approximately 45 minutes. I take a complete health history and perform thorough examinations (neurological and orthopedic; range of motion study; posture evaluation). I determine where the cause of your physical problem originates. Most patients are treated (adjusted) on their first visit.
How much will chiropractic care cost and do you accept insurance?
Our cash fee for patients without chiropractic insurance coverage -
Initial new patient office visit: $120
Established patient office visit: $52
We accept cash, check, VISA, MasterCard, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay.
We bill insurance for a limited number of plans. We will check on your insurance coverage before you schedule an appointment.
What chiropractic techniques do you use?
I use Diversified technique and a Mechanical Force, Manually Assisted Instrument to adjust my patients.
If I begin chiropractic care, do I have to continue for the rest of my life?
I do not pressure my patients into long-term treatment. When you come to me for care I will treat your current problem. If I think your specific condition is such that you could benefit from having your spine checked in the future to prevent a flare up, I’ll let you know. But the choice is yours. My patients know I am here for them when needed, but I don't nag them about coming in. Some of my patients choose to come in more frequently than others, as they find chiropractic not only helps them stay out of pain but feel better overall. The choice is theirs.
If you are the kind of person who thinks about prevention and maintenance and who desires to have a healthy and active lifestyle as you age, then it is important to keep up good health habits. Chiropractic is one of those health habits that will keep your nervous system functioning at its optimum level.
Again, I don't pressure my patients into continual care.
How long will it take to see results and improvements?
While no doctor can make an exact proclamation about your recovery, I can give you estimates of time based on clinical research data and my own observations with hundreds of patients.
Your relief from pain and return to health will depend on several factors: your age; recent injury vs. chronic problems; accumulated joint degenerative damage; past injuries; your level of fitness; your commitment level to the recommendations I will suggest.
Because each person’s body is a unique, changing organism, the amount of time it takes to heal and restore proper joint, muscle and nerve function varies. Most patients tend to see reductions in their pain level within a short time. Structural and functional problems take longer. Each body is unique and conditions vary greatly.
Rest assured, we will discuss these factors and your personal situation before you start care.
Are chiropractors anti-medicine?
As a profession, chiropractors have traditionally been alternative-minded doctors. We are filling a needed niche in health care. More people are seeking new ways to eliminate pain and avoid the need to take drugs on a regular basis.
Chiropractic has stepped up to answer the public’s desire for doctors who have alternative therapies and advice.
I am not anti-medicine. If a patient needs to consult with a medical specialist, I will not hesitate to refer.
I refer patients for x-ray or MRI imaging when needed.
I refer to orthopedic specialists and neurologists when needed. I will also refer a patient to see their own Primary Care Physician if needed.
Yes, I will refer to the medical community, but my objective is to help you achieve better health without the need for medical intervention whenever possible.
