Your program depends on your condition, history, desired outcome, and needs. After the exam, with your input, we determine the frequency and intensity of treatment that matches your goals. We understand that you are more than just your injury. We treat you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms, and this is how we achieve such great results. We create a tailored program to get you better.
  • Do you take insurance?
    We do not take insurance, but we do accept HSA/FSA cards. We can also provide you with a super bill to submit. In worst-case scenarios, the visit will count towards your out-of-network and total out-of-pocket deductibles. Insurance is not there to get you back to 100%. It is there to ensure that you don't get worse. For this reason, we do not want insurance telling us how and when to treat you.
  • What should I wear?
    Loose fitting clothing or tanks tops with access to shoulders and back. Because we use pads and scan all areas associated with an injury, we need skin access to shoulders back hips and legs. If you do not have appropriate clothing, we will not be able to treat you and this may cause you to forfeit your visit with appropriate fees. Yoga pants and sweats are not acceptable for any back or lower body injury. Please wear or bring shorts to change into.
  • Do you take Medicare?
    We do not participate in Medicare. Medicare will only reimburse chiropractors for the manual adjustment. We DO NOT treat with manual adjustments at anytime for any patients. Because of this we are not required to submit claims to Medicare. If this is something you feel you need we can suggest several excellent doctors in the area.
  • What is dry needling?
    Dry Needling is a technique that utilizes thin, solid filament needles to treat myofascial trigger points, muscle spasms, or dysfunctional tissue. It is extremely effective treating musculoskeletal pain. It allows us to increase bloodflow, decrease local and central pain,and improve cytokine balance. Like any medical procedure, there are possible complications. While these complications are uncommon, they do sometimes occur and must be considered prior to giving consent to the procedure. You may experience an increase in pain for one to two days followed by an expected improvement in your overall symptoms. You may experience a general feeling of fatigue following treatment as your body requires energy to assist in healing the tissue dysfunction. A needle may be placed inadvertently into the lung tissue creating a small hole in the lung. There is minimal risk involved with a cautious and experienced dry needling practitioner performing dry needling. You may experience a small bruise or localized bleeding in the region of the inserted needle. You may also experience any of the following during treatment: A feeling of relaxation, an increase in energy level, dizziness, nausea, sweating, or irritation at the site of needle insertion.
