What is chiropractic?

The word “Chiropractic” literally means “done by hand”. Chiropractic is a complementary and alternative medicine that focuses on the spine and treatment of mechanical imbalances of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. Chiropractors use very specific, safe, and gentle adjustments to subluxations of the spine and joints of your body to restore joint function and support the nervous system. These adjustments help to reduce any stress related interference on the nervous system caused by mechanical imbalances. By improving your structural imbalances, you are allowing for your body’s optimal ability to function and innately heal from within. In addition to adjustments, chiropractors also provide soft tissue therapies, nutritional advice, and lifestyle recommendations.

Who is chiropractic for?

Everyone!!! From newborns, to pregnant women, to elderly care. I truly believe that everyone can benefit from chiropractic.

Is Chiropractic safe during and after pregnancy?

Absolutely. In fact, pregnancy and pediatrics is my true passion! During pregnancy, chiropractic care focuses on the bony structures of the pelvis and associated ligaments and muscles. Using specific and gentle techniques, such as Webster Technique, we are able to help align the pelvis to allow baby to get into optimal position for labor and delivery. Additionally, we are also able to reduce pregnancy related pains, such as low back pain or sciatica, that often accompany pregnancy. Research has shown that routine chiropractic care during pregnancy has lead to decreased labor times, decreased pushing times, decreased inductions, and decreased medical interventions.

Is Chiropractic care safe for babies & kids?

Short answer, YES!

Birth is a rather traumatic event on the spine of a newborn, and it is recommended that you bring your newborn in for chiropractic realignment as soon as possible.

Being a kid is tough business. It is a critical time when certain milestones are reached such as lifting their head, rolling over, starting to crawl, walking, or running, etc... And unfortunately kids often endure quite a few traumas along the way. Accidents happen. Misalignments happen. These misalignments can impact their little nervous systems, which can attribute to a number of issues if left untreated. Some of the things we often see babies and kids for are collic, reflux, ear infections, breastfeeding complications, allergies, eczema, muscular imbalances (such as torticolis), special needs, and overall wellness care and adjustments.

The adjustments a newborn receives is very safe and gentle. The use of sustained contact, with no more than 5 ounces of pressure is used along the baby’s spine (roughly the amount of pressure you would use to feel a tomato). Instrument assisted adjustments with the use of an Activator, are another safe and gentle way to treat older babies and kids.

What to expect when you come.

When you arrive to the office a detailed history will take place along with a neuromuscular exam, complete with ranges of motion, orthopedic testing, and sensory-motor testing. Following the exam, you will receive your 1st chiropractic treatment with me (assuming no further testing or imagine is needed).

Why don’t you accept insurance?

To be honest, I love the freedom. I love that I can practice how I want and give each patient a truly customized experience. Most insurance companies limit the number of sessions available, limit the amount paid for treatments rendered, or will not reimburse for certain treatments all together. As a result of declining reimbursements from insurance companies, doctors must see more patients or perform more procedures for their clinics to stay afloat financially. And while yes, I will get way more patients in the door if I choose to accept insurance, it’s not the kind of practice I envisioned myself having. I really want to create a personal, comfortable, and informal doctor-patient relationship where I actually get to know you! Because you are privately paying for my services, it allows me the ability to give you the best possible care that I can. Therefore, the main reasons I don’t accept insurance is because I want to be able to treat you the way I want, and not in the ways that insurance companies are willing to reimburse me. Another reason accepting insurance doesn’t work for me is because acupuncture and pediatrics are a big part of my practice. Unfortunately, insurance policies simply do not cover acupuncture or pediatric chiropractic care. Finally, working with insurance companies requires an incredible amount of time to pursue reimbursements. This is time I could use to actually be working with you face-to-face, which I find way more enjoyable!

That being said, I really try to keep my cash prices fair and reasonable. If you have chiropractic coverage, I am always happy to provide you with documentation to get reimbursed if you’re willing to file yourself. I also accept HSA and FSA forms of payment at the office.
