You might be wondering…
This section covers questions that often come up when working with a chiropractic practice. If you don’t see your question answered here, feel free to reach out.
-
We are a cash pay practice. This allows us to provide the services you need, not just the ones you are approved for.
-
Cash, Debit/Credit, Apple Pay, Zelle, and Venmo.
-
Comfortable, stretchy clothing is ideal. Athletic wear or anything you can move in works well. If you’re unsure, feel free to ask ahead of time. Gowns will be provided if needed.
-
Yes!!! Your first visit includes an in-depth conversation, exam, and your first adjustment/treatment if it’s safe and indicated.
-
Absolutely. Some people find they only need one visit. There’s no pressure to commit to anything. I’m here to help you feel better, whether that’s one session, a personalized care plan, or random maintenance care.
-
Not to get started but I will refer out for imaging if something in your history or exam gives me reason to investigate further. If needed, X-rays are typically between $45 - $85 cash pay depending on how many images we need. I do a thorough orthopedic exam to rule out red flags before adjusting.
If interested please look-up current evidence for spinal X-ray use in the chiropractic profession.

Every person is different, which means care should be too. If we were going off strictly what evidence suggested (and didn’t take into consideration anything else going on in your life) this is what I would recommend:
We start with a short trial of care to see how your body responds, then adjust your plan based on your progress, goals, and lifestyle.
Most people fall into one of the following starting points:
Acute or Flare-Ups
2 -3 visits per week for 2–3 weeks to calm pain and restore movementOngoing or Moderate Issues
1–2 visits per week for a few weeks, then taper as you improveChronic or Long-Term Concerns
Typically once per week, combined with movement and rehab to build lasting change.We reassess regularly, re-exam after 6 visits, and make decisions together.
My goal is to help you feel better as efficiently as possible, not keep you reliant on passive care.
-
That’s very common, especially when it comes to the neck. We talk through everything before starting, and nothing is ever forced. I use a range of techniques and always match care to your comfort level.
One option I use is an instrument called an Activator, which delivers a gentle, precise impulse to the joint without twisting or high force. This allows for effective adjustments with much less pressure.
I also use traditional manual adjustments when appropriate, but they are never required. You are always in control of your care, and we choose the approach that feels safest for you.
-
Cancellations must be requested at least 24 hours before appointment time otherwise there will be a 50% charge.
Medicare Beneficiary Notice

Due to Medicare regulations, we are unable to provide spinal manipulation to Medicare beneficiaries — even if you’re paying out-of-pocket (I know, sad)…Chiropractors are not permitted to opt out of Medicare, and we legally cannot bill Medicare or submit claims on your behalf.
If you are a Medicare beneficiary and require chiropractic care, we encourage you to seek treatment from a Medicare-enrolled provider to ensure your services are covered.
We’re happy to help guide you in the right direction if you need assistance finding a Medicare provider. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.
