FAQ

Many conditions have overlapping symptoms, which is why a professional diagnosis is essential. During your first visit, we'll perform a thorough examination, review your health history, and take X-rays if needed to accurately identify what's causing your pain. We'll explain our findings in clear terms and answer all your questions.

Yes! We accept most insurance plans including Medicare, Medicaid, and auto insurance (PIP). We'll verify your coverage and explain your benefits before you start treatment. We also offer 0% in-house financing for those without insurance or for services not covered.

Treatment duration varies based on your condition, how long you've had it, and your overall health. Some patients feel significant relief after just a few visits, while chronic conditions may require several weeks of care. We'll provide a clear treatment timeline during your consultation and track your progress throughout.

Yes. Chiropractic care is one of the safest forms of healthcare available. Our doctors are extensively trained and licensed, with decades of combined experience. We use gentle techniques appropriate for all ages, from children to seniors. Serious complications are extremely rare.

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. For examination and X-rays, you'll want to avoid clothing with metal (zippers, underwire, etc.). Many patients wear athletic wear or yoga pants. We'll provide a gown if needed for your examination.

That's what your first consultation is for. After examining you, reviewing any imaging, and discussing your symptoms and goals, we'll recommend the most effective treatment approach for your specific condition. We'll explain why we're recommending each treatment and how they work together to achieve your goals.

No. All of our treatments are designed to reduce pain, not cause it. Chiropractic adjustments may cause brief discomfort as restricted joints are mobilized, but most patients feel immediate relief afterward. Spinal decompression, laser therapy, and physical therapy are all comfortable, pain-free treatments.

Again, this depends on your specific condition. Some patients need only a handful of visits for acute problems. Others with chronic conditions may require 20-30 visits over several weeks. We'll outline a clear treatment schedule during your consultation and adjust as needed based on your progress.

Yes! In fact, combining treatments often produces better results than using a single treatment alone. For example, pairing spinal decompression with physical therapy addresses both the immediate disc problem and the underlying core weakness that contributed to it. We'll design a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses all aspects of your condition.

We track your progress carefully at each visit. If you're not improving as expected, we'll adjust your treatment plan, order additional imaging if needed, or refer you to an appropriate specialist. Our goal is to get you better—and we'll work with you until we achieve that goal.

Yes! We adjust our techniques based on age, size, and comfort level. We use gentle approaches appropriate for children and seniors, and we have extensive experience treating all ages from young athletes to elderly patients with arthritis and degeneration.
