What should I bring or wear to my visit?
Chiro/Stretch: Wear loose clothing like a loose shirt and avoid tight garments. For added comfort, try shorts, leggings, or yoga pants, and consider wearing socks or flat shoes. Avoid upper body garments that connect to the lower body garmets, as they can limit access to the back. Skirts are not recommended.
Massage: During the session undress to your comfort level. You will always be properly covered by a sheet the entire session.
What should I do prior to my first chiro visit?
Prior to your first visit, it's important to be mindful of the pain you are experiencing. Take note of any details about your pain, including what aggravates it and what makes it better. These details are crucial in diagnosing and effectively treating your pain. Additionally, ensure you bring any relevant medical history or documents that could assist our therapists in providing the best care.
What should I expect on my first chiro visit?
You will receive a 30-minute new patient exam on your first chiropractic visit which lasts about 30 minutes. This includes a review of your medical history, general tests such as orthopedic assessments, posture screenings, and movement evaluations. Additionally, specific tests may be conducted to assess the range of motion, muscle condition, strength, and neurological integrity of the affected areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Chiropractic treatments are a well-established and reliable option for healthcare, offering a non-invasive approach that does not rely on drugs or surgical procedures. Patients can rest assured that chiropractic treatments carry lower risks compared to traditional medical interventions, making it a safe choice for improving overall well-being.
-
It's important to note that the duration of your initial visit can vary depending on the specific nature and severity of your condition. Typically, initial visits may require up to 30 minutes to ensure a comprehensive evaluation and thorough discussion of your health concerns.
-
After your first visit, your doctor will decide the best treatment plan for your needs. How often you get chiropractic treatments depends on your condition and goals, decided by the chiropractor.
The hands-on nature of chiropractic treatment necessitates multiple visits to the chiropractor's office. Unlike medical doctors who prescribe at-home treatments like a course of antibiotics, chiropractors may offer acute, chronic, or preventive care, requiring varying numbers of visits. Your chiropractor will discuss the recommended treatment plan's duration and expected outcomes to ensure you are well-informed about your care.
-
-
If you are exclusively availing massage therapy services, a New Patient Exam is not mandatory. However, it is highly recommended to undergo an examination to ensure that the patient receives a tailored massage that effectively addresses their specific therapeutic requirements.
-
With us, the answer to that question isn't so straight forward. Although we don't accept insurance directly, we DO accept Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).
CONSIDER COPAYS: Cost is often another crucial factor for patients. That's why we suggest you check your co-pay for "Specialists" with your current insurance. Many times, our rates ($50-$60 per visit) are very similar to insurance co-pays.
To put it in perspective, insurance co-pays often range between $45-$60 each visit. Even when our rates may be slightly higher, patients often choose to stick with us due to the superior quality of care and attention we provide.
ANOTHER OPTION: Another option we can provide is a superbill, a document containing all your procedure codes and diagnoses, which you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. Please ensure your provider accepts superbills before you ask for this option.
We're here to answer any questions you might have! Your well-being is our top priority—wishing you the best in your quest for a healthcare provider!
