I have insurance, how do I know if your treatment is covered
First, you can call the number on your insurance card, and ask if chiropractic care is covered. Then you may want to ask if our office is considered "in-network". Use the following information:

Do I have to follow through with the treatment plan?
We certainly recommend you follow through with your treatment plan to achieve the best results. However, if you are unable to follow through with our treatment plan as expected, we understand.
How long will it take for me to see results?
It is very much dependent on your condition. While many people report positive affects after the first treatment, we suggest that you wait a minimum of two weeks to see positive results. For some conditions it is common for results to take longer.
What should I expect after the first visit?
While it is common and wonderful if you feel much better after the first visit, please be aware that it possible you may not experience relief immediately. It is very common to have some muscle soreness after treatment, and while rare, it is possible to feel worse after the first few treatments.
We urge you to call the office if you have any concerns.
