Interested in starting care? Click HERE to go to the booking site. Select initial visit, follow the steps, and you’ll be sent the paperwork we’ll need for your first visit.

Please be sure to complete these forms as completely as possible.

Important!

Don’t forget to provide THE ADDRESS WHERE I AM MEETING YOU if this is not the same as your home address.

ALSO provide easiest way to reach you in case there is a travel delay or I’m unable to locate you.

After you’ve completed your forms and provided the address where your treatment will take place (if different from your home address), I will travel to you at the time of your selected appointment.

I have in my toolbox a sturdy portable adjusting table and all the tools I’ll need for our first exam—no need to provide anything except a little space for the table!

Every new patient gets an exam included in their initial visit price.

To start, we’ll do a quick consultation where we go over your health history, talk about your concerns and goals, answer any questions or concerns you might have.

At this point, we’re ready to start our exam. I’ll run a few basic tests and checks to get the best idea of what’s going on and how I can help.

Stop me with any questions at any time!

Once we’ve narrowed down what to work on, we’ll move on to the adjustment.

A note on imaging: I do not offer imaging. While x-rays and MRIs are always helpful, they are not always necessary or required to move forward with treatment. If at any point we find something that may require further evaluation, we’ll work together to find an imaging center that best works for your time, location, and budget. If you already happen to have images of the area, these are also helpful and I’d be happy to take a look.

After the exam is complete and we’re confident in moving forward, we’ll begin your adjustment.

While there are many different styles and techniques used to adjust, I primarily adjust by hand (the “old school” way, sometimes referred to as the “Palmer Package”). I’ve built a reputation of being a “deep” adjuster, getting things moving—if there’s a joint that needs to move, I’ve got you.

If this doesn’t sound like what you need, or things aren’t quite working how we’d like, there’s also the option of built-in drops on my portable table, and I also work with a much less forceful tool called the Activator.

Unfamiliar with what an adjustment is? My preferred technique works while you are laying on your stomach. I’ll take an even closer check of your spine, and deliver a quick and controlled impulse to the problem areas, realigning your joints and restoring motion and nerve flow. This is where people hear and feel the “crack” or “pop” you often hear about.

Sometimes you might hear people refer to chiropractic care as “getting cracked” or a “manipulation.” Most chiropractors prefer to use “adjustment,” as “manipulation” sounds… well, manipulative and can carry a negative connotation… and getting “cracked” over simplifies and minimizes the effect of the treatment—since an adjustment directly affects your nervous system, it can be quite impactful.

Once we’ve finished up with our exam and treatment, we’ll talk about recommendations and follow ups.

The most common thing to expect after the adjustment (besides relief!) is soreness similar to a workout, sometimes mild headaches while your body acclimates to it’s new settings. This can look different for everyone, so we’ll find recommendations that work for you.

This is also a great time schedule your follow up. You can always schedule on your own at the booking page, but it’s best to do it in person. Not only does this get you the time the works best for you, but it can also help you get into a routine of regular care, and help you hold yourself accountable for your care if you’ve already picked your time.

Medicare includes patients who are 65+, or are collecting social security due to disability.

Since I do not bill Medicare (or any other insurance), I am only able to accept Medicare eligible patients seeking care for chronic and/or minor discomfort. This is because any issues deemed “medically necessary” by Medicare should be billed to them, regardless of how you plan to pay.

For example, a chronic issue, such as lower back pain from arthritis, would be considered maintenance care, and chiropractic care is considered (by Medicare) not medically necessary and is therefore not covered, allowing you to pay out of pocket.

However, a fall, accident, new injury, or nerve involvement would be an active/acute problem, in which case chiropractic care would be considered medically necessary by Medicare, and should be billed as such. In this scenario, a referral would be made to another provider who does bill Medicare.

If you have any questions about your situation before scheduling a new patient appointment, please reach out so that we can figure out the best route for your care.
