Insurance & payment

Understanding our cash-based practice

Your care recommendations are guided by your condition, your goals, and the findings of your evaluation.

Do you accept or bill insurance?

No. We are a 100% cash-based chiropractic practice. We do not participate in insurance plans or bill insurance companies.

Why have you chosen a cash-based model?

We believe care should be based on your needs and goals. This model allows us to recommend the treatments we believe are appropriate without limiting those recommendations to what an insurance company covers.

How does this approach benefit me?

It allows us to spend the time needed to understand your concerns, especially during the initial consultation and examination. Recommendations are personalized to your condition and findings, with access to the treatment options we believe are appropriate for you.

What does this mean for the cost of my care?

The aim is straightforward costs, without insurance deductibles, copays, or coverage decisions affecting your bill. For current consultation and treatment costs, please call our office.

Your first visit & care plan

What to expect when you come in

We start by listening, then help you understand your options so you can make an informed decision.

What happens at my first visit?

Your initial visit includes a consultation and examination. We learn about your concerns, evaluate your condition, and look at what may be contributing to the problem and how it affects your daily life.

Will I receive treatment that day?

When appropriate, treatment may begin at your first visit. That decision depends on your evaluation and what your doctor recommends.

What happens after the evaluation?

We explain what we found and provide recommendations specific to your needs and goals. You can ask questions and decide which approach is right for you.

Does every patient receive the same care plan?

No. Your recommendations are based on your condition, examination findings, and goals. We take time to understand you and recommend an individual plan rather than a predetermined course of treatment.

Which treatments might be part of my plan?

Depending on your needs, care may include chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, Piezowave² focused shockwave, Class IV laser, or High Energy Induction Therapy (HEIT). We explain which options we recommend and how they fit your care.
