Chiropractic Care Information
What is a Chiropractor?
Chiropractors are healthcare professionals who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the spine and nervous system. They are trained to identify and address misalignments of the spine, known as subluxations, which can lead to pain, discomfort, and reduced overall health.
What should I bring to my appointment?
- Identification: Your driver's license or other valid ID.
- Insurance information: If applicable, your health insurance cards.
- Medical history: A list of any previous injuries, surgeries, or medical conditions.
- X-rays or MRIs: If you have any relevant imaging studies.
- Medication list: A list of any medications you are currently taking.
How do I know if my insurance covers chiropractic services?
Insurance coverage for chiropractic services can vary widely depending on your specific plan. To determine if your insurance covers chiropractic care:
- Contact your insurance provider: They can provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding your coverage.
- Review your policy: Your policy should outline the specific benefits and limitations related to chiropractic care.
- Ask your chiropractor: Our office can help verify your insurance coverage and provide you with an estimate of your out-of-pocket costs.
If your insurance doesn't cover chiropractic services or if your deductible is too high, we offer competitive cash prices to make our services accessible to everyone.
Please bring your insurance card and identification to your appointment so we can verify your coverage and discuss your payment options.
How many visits will I need?
The number of visits required will depend on the severity of your condition and your individual response to treatment. Your chiropractor will discuss a personalized treatment plan with you during your initial consultation.
What should I wear to my appointment?
