No, it is extremely important to complete a full health consultation, spinal assessment, and any needed diagnostic x-rays prior to any adjustments in our office. This allows our doctors a chance to best understand your current health status and health goals to ensure they can help you before they begin delivering chiropractic adjustments. The consultation, assessments, and any needed x-rays are the pieces of information our doctors need to determine the timeline and frequency of care they would recommend for you if they determine our office can best help you.

This is a loaded question with many variables, as every patient is different depending on factors such as: age, previous health history, past traumas, current health concerns, health goals, lifestyle choices, amount of stress you experience, willingness to commit to your appointments, willingness to complete given stretches/exercises at home, etc. In all individuals, healing takes time and repetition but how much time and repetition depends on the factors listed above. Our first two visits with a patient allow our team to collect the necessary information to provide the most accurate timeline possible for optimal healing based on that individual person and their needs.

Visit frequency and timeline for corrective or wellness care are determined based on a detailed health history consultation to establish the patient’s current needs and future health/lifestyle goals. We have seen patients as frequently as 3x/week and as seldom as every other week, depending on the consultation, assessments, and x-ray findings. The first two visits in our office allow our team and doctors to collect the necessary information to provide the most accurate care plan for your specific needs and desires for care.

There are different service fees for different phases of care whether a patient is in corrective care or wellness care. Corrective care is a higher cost in the beginning, as more services are often needed to create desired results and optimal healing based on the initial health consultation, assessments, and x-rays. Wellness care is less costly, as these patients are choosing a lifestyle difference by receiving chiropractic care for overall well-being and prevention. Wellness care cannot be received until corrective care is complete, as corrective care is when patients are typically symptomatic and many have never seen a chiropractor before. The initial visit in our office allows our team to collect the necessary information to determine if and how we can best help your current health needs and desires, as well as identify if the patient needs corrective care or wellness care. The initial visit in our office is $97 which includes the report of findings at the second visit from what the doctors found from the initial visit and your specific care plan needs in our office (corrective or wellness, number of adjustments, frequency of care, needed at home instructions, progress re-exams, etc.). Adjustment costs will vary depending on the amount of time the doctor will need to spend with the patient to make the needed adjustments and largely depending on the patient’s phase of care (corrective care is more costly than wellness care because more is needed from the doctor to make the desired health changes with the patient). Progress exams and x-rays are services our patients receive throughout the course of their care (corrective or wellness) to ensure they are continuing to heal and adapt at the highest levels with the best frequency and at-home recommendations.

Our office accepts most major insurances including (Medicare Part B, BlueCross BlueShield, Providence, Aetna, United Healthcare, Cigna, Insurances in the First Choice and American Specialty Health Networks, and a long list of others that typically fall under the supervision of one of the insurances listed above). There are a few insurance companies that we know we are not contracted with including: Humana, Apple Health, and Kaiser (unless it is supervised by First Choice Health). Insurance companies all have specific plans and policies, chosen by the patient, therefore every individual is different when it comes to their personal costs, responsibilities and covered services within our office. Insurance can be helpful to decrease overall costs, but does not cover 100% of care. Therefore, we provide a complimentary benefits check of each patient’s insurance after we have completed the initial appointment in our office (detailed health consultation, spinal assessment, and any needed diagnostic x-rays) in order to provide all needed information to the insurance company for the most accurate benefit details and coverage specifically within our office. This allows us to provide all financial information, including services covered by insurances during our second visit when we present the patient with our doctor’s findings and recommendations for care in our office.

Depending on the patient’s health consultation, age of the patient, and specific case, our doctors will determine the specific x-rays needed to make the best recommendations for the person’s needs. X-Rays allow our doctors to see the overall curvature or loss of, if there is any degeneration present or loss of disc spaces between the spinal vertebrae. If x-rays are determined necessary, our doctors take a special series called the 4-View Motion Study to help identify the exact number of subluxations and lack of spinal motion that creates many health concerns.

The first two visits last 30-45 minutes in total. Then, most appointments last 15 minutes, as the adjustment itself only requires 3-4 minutes of time to find and correct the vertebral subluxation that creates nervous system dysfunction within the patient’s body.
