New Patients

85% of all people will have back or neck pain at some point in their lifetime. Not everyone can be helped through chiropractic care. A chiropractor will take a history and perform an exam to determine what treatment is best for you. The doctor will make a plan for you and explain what you should expect. They’ll give you recommendations on what you can do to help yourself get better. If mechanical treatment is not appropriate, you will be referred to another healthcare provider. 

Of course, this varies. We expect to see improvements in a patient’s condition very quickly. Sometimes we can get immediate relief, other times it may take a few days. At the very longest, we would expect you to be making good progress within a week. 

Yes. When you are evaluated, a chiropractor will look for red flags and contraindications to care. If further testing is necessary, they can refer you for those services. Your chiropractor will coordinate care with your family physician or refer you to another specialist if chiropractic care is not right for you.

Some chiropractors focus on lifetime wellness while others specialize in treating acute, severe spinal pain and associated symptoms. Your treatment should be based on your specific needs and you should feel comfortable in asking questions about your care and treatment goals. Our office focuses on pain relief and we will give you practical tools to help you regain control over your pain to help you prevent recurrences and minimize visits needed. 

Many insurance companies cover chiropractic treatment if it is a medical necessity. Our team will check your benefits and bill insurance for you.
