Frequently Asked Questions

How can such light pressure make such dramatic changes?

For the same reason why one is able to move a pile of heavy bricks with a light push of a wheelbarrow: leverage.

Do you accept insurance?

We do not contract with any insurance companies, however, we will be your insurance company on your behalf.  If you have out-of-network coverage for chiropractic, you may get some reimbursement. We strive to keep our fees affordable. We do take HSA and FSA payments. 

Do I get adjusted each visit?

You are only adjusted when the objective findings indicate you are subluxated (i.e. postural distortion, a contractured/shortened leg).

What can cause me to lose my alignment?

Thoughts, traumas, and toxins are all stressors that can contribute to a misaligned state.

How long until I am better?

Healing is individual and there are many contributing factors. The more personal responsibility the patient assumes in this process, generally the better the results.

Is it true that if you see a chiropractor once you have to go for the rest of your life?

No, however often people who experience chiropractic recognize the health benefits and choose a lifestyle that includes lifelong chiropractic care.

If I feel relief, why do I need to come back?

You don’t. Ongoing assessments are advised if you want to allow for optimal healing to minimize recurrence and optimize function.

Why should I get checked when I am feeling fine?

Symptoms can occur after years of altered function. We feel prevention and optimization is better that reactive, distress care.

Why are you looking at my feet if you are adjusting the top of my neck?

A leg length difference can be an indication of an imbalance tone in your body’s musculature and therefore is one of our objective measures to determine whether or not you are in need of an adjustment. After an adjustment, we will often check leg-length again and find that the legs are of balanced length.

Is it possible for me to go in and out of alignment on my own?

Short Answer: No, a true subluxation will not realign on its own.

Why are so many things positively affected by one procedure?

The body is self-healing and its healing capabilities are infinite. With your energy no longer being excessively re-directed to fight gravity, often the body will manage to deal with other issues as well.
