How is a sports chiropractor different?

While we do treat all types of people, our expertise and focus comes in the rehab, and restoration of athletes to get them back into playing condition and movement, and then focusing on preventive care to significantly reduce the risk of injury reoccurring. 

Do you take insurance?

We do what it takes to bring our patients back to their ideal condition. Most of the time, this includes providing treatments that are not included in the patients coverage. This includes number of visits, soft tissue manipulation, shockwave therapy and the like. To provide the best care possible, we give each patient a unique treatment plan and usually goes beyond the limitations of insurance coverage. We do however accept most FSA/HSA cards and can also provide itemized receipts (superbills) for possible reimbursements.

What should I expect on my first visit?

Your first visit starts with an general intake where we take your vitals and check your movement patterns. After that we investigate your primary issue to get a deeper understanding of what is going on and what could be causing it -- we then explain to you our findings and tailor a treatment plan that is unique to you. These usually last about an hour to an hour and a half.

Do you take walk-ins?

Unfortunately we do not, as we try to honor and respect every patients time and want to provide the best care possible which sometimes includes extra preparation. Additionally, we would hate for patients to wait in the lobby only to find out they are unable to be seen that day. If you would like to schedule an appointment within 24 hours, please reach out directly and we will do our best to accommodate. 

What if I am not an "athlete"? Can I still receive treatment?

Of course!! Don't sell yourself short, with all the things that we put our bodies through on a daily basis and even if you're just aspiring to move better, life is a sport and we all need to be top shape to win and accomplish our goals.
