What To Expect

FIRST VISIT

Completion of paperwork to allow the doctor to familiarize himself with your health history and the condition for which you desire care.
Consultation with the doctor to discuss the condition(s) which prompted you to schedule your appointment.
Examination by the doctor to evaluate your symptoms and to determine if chiropractic care is appropriate in your case.
The purpose of your first visit is to allow the doctor to establish a clinical impression of your condition, to determine if chiropractic care might benefit you, and to assess whether further diagnostics are necessary.
Please plan on being at our office for approximately 1-1/2 hours for your first appointment.

The doctor will discuss your clinical and x-ray examination findings with you and let you know if any additional testing or medical referral might be necessary to fully assess your condition.
At that time, the doctor will recommend a plan of treatment which will help you to achieve your health-improvement goals.
Any questions about your condition, its treatment, and its prognosis will be addressed.
Patients find this two-visit approach desirable because it avoids an extremely long first visit and gives them time to formulate any questions for the doctor about their condition.
Occasionally, a patient’s pain is so acute that first-day treatment is provided.

After the diagnostic and explanatory services which are provided during the first two visits, treatment visits typically require 20-30 minutes unless rehabilitation has been recommended; in that case, 40-60 minutes would be required.

We accept most insurance plans, including Aultcare, Medical Mutual, United Health, Aetna, SummaCare, Workers’ Compensation, auto-med-pay/personal injury insurance, Medicare, certain Medicaid plans, and many more. Please call our office to discover if your plan is included in our many network affiliations.
In many cases regarding insurance plans in which we do not participate, our fees are actually less than those plans’ co-pays and co-insurance.
We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, cash, or check.
For patients with no insurance or with high deductibles commonly associated with recent changes in insurance law (Obamacare), we offer affordable payment plans.
