Questions
What parents ask before they come
What happens at the first visit?
A talk, a short exam and a plan. Your doctor listens first, looks at how you carry, feed and lift, and explains the plan and what it costs before you decide. Your baby is welcome.
Is chiropractic care safe?
Every kind of care has risks. Soreness after an adjustment is common and usually short. Rare serious problems have been reported after neck adjustments, so your doctor explains the risks before any neck adjustment, and you can say no to any part of a visit. If you have a sudden severe headache or neck pain, new weakness or numbness, chest pain, or loss of bladder or bowel control, call 911 or see a physician first.
Will it hurt?
Most people feel pressure, not pain, and some feel sore afterward. We use light, low-force methods for babies, children and pregnancy, and we stop whenever you ask.
How many visits will I need?
Your doctor sets a plan after the exam and changes it as you go. We do not promise a number of visits, and you can stop at any time.
Do you take my insurance?
We bill some health plans, and plans differ in what they pay for chiropractic care. The fees page lists what to ask your plan, and our front desk can go through it with you.
What if I do not use insurance?
You have the right to a Good Faith Estimate. Ask us, and we give you a written estimate before the visit. Ask for an itemized receipt if your plan reimburses you.
Do I need x-rays?
Only when medically necessary. We explain why before we take one, and you can say no. We take none during pregnancy.
Can I bring my baby, or come while pregnant?
Yes to both. Babies are welcome, and we plan around feeding and naps. For pregnancy, keep your prenatal care first and tell your midwife or physician you plan to see us. We make no claim about the birth or the baby.
What if I have seen another provider?
Tell us, and tell them about us. We work alongside your pediatrician, midwife and physician, and we do not ask you to stop seeing anyone.
What is your cancellation policy?
Please call us as early as you can if you need to change a visit. Ask the front desk about our cancellation policy.
Still have a question?
Call us or send a message and we will answer it.
