Frequently Asked Questions
Do the adjustments hurt or is there any danger of injury to my children or myself?
We utilize the Integrator and Activator precision adjusting instruments exclusively as opposed to manual manipulation. In other words, there is no twisting or popping of the spine. The adjustments are very powerful in their healing effects but are gentle and easy. The nervous system interference can be corrected without forcing the spine. We have adjusted infants to 97 year-olds. Not only has nobody ever been hurt in all our years of experience, but with this method it isn’t even possible.
Does insurance cover your services?
Yes. Many insurance policies have benefits that permit you to select the chiropractic doctor of your choice. These are the policies you should pursue. Some will have a deductible and most require some percentage of co-pay. They will also often have visit limitations that fall short of what is necessary for correction, but at least they help.
Given insurance company constraints that limit our freedom to fully practice the subluxation-correction chiropractic care you need to restore your optimum health, we have chosen to remove ourselves from all managed care “preferred provider” lists. You’ll have to ask yourself if you really want to choose your healthcare provider by who’s the cheapest versus who’s the best.

Is the program of corrective care affordable even if I don’t have insurance or if the doctor isn’t on my preferred provider list?
Absolutely yes. The corrective phase of spinal/nervous system care is akin to the braces phase of orthodontics. However, we are talking about weeks to a few months versus years for braces. The cost of spinal correction (with its greater health-enhancing capability) is only about ¼ that of braces. The majority of children and adults partaking in orthodontic care do not have the benefit of insurance assistance and yet make it a priority, as they understand its value. Where there is truly a will, there is a way. Call today and arrange to attend one of our free classes to learn more about the real health value we offer.
Is the type of care you provide available elsewhere?
Our specialized care is not available through any of the chiropractors on the insurance company preferred lists. The discount policies are too restrictive to support this approach in favor of a narrow, short-term, pain-relief model. Other chiropractors, physical therapists, osteopaths or medical doctors do not duplicate our nervous system correcting service. We are truly unique. We promise.
Once I start care, do I have to go forever?
Absolutely not. You are completely free to choose how long you wish to benefit from wellness chiropractic care. We do not offer the option of a few pain-relief visits when you first consult our office, as we do not believe this to be to your benefit. We offer the two care program options discussed in the Services website page. If you choose the Basic Temporary Correction option, then you will be released from care when that goal is reached. If you choose the Advanced Health Restoration option, then you can choose the frequency of your wellness visits after completing the initial correction. All care in our office is based upon objective measures of need and progress and you are always completely free to choose.
