What are appointments like?
In general: After a health history (and imaging if required), patients will receive 10-15 minutes of heat with electrical stimulation followed by 5-10 minutes of muscle work. Some patients will receive decompression techniques and an adjustment. New patients are given the full hour, follow ups are roughly 20-minutes in length.
I am NOT AN ATHLETE, is this the right office?
"We treat more than just athletes." More than 1/2 of our patients are not, and have never been athletes. We treat ages 4+, regardless of their athletic abilities. We do accept Medicare as well.
Does my INSURANCE cover the treatment?
Usually, most insurances cover chiropractic care. It is always a good idea to check before coming in. Most patients will have a copay (specialist) or unmet deductible amount. For those without insurance, there is a cash rate.
Does the ADJUSTMENT hurt?
Chiropractic adjustments are considered a safe, conservative form of pain relief. Localized soreness is usually experienced the following day.
Do I need a REFERRAL?
In New York State, most insurances do not require a referral.
Do I need to schedule an APPOINTMENT?
Yes, unfortunately the office is only open when patients are scheduled. Most patients have same day or next day appointments.
How OFTEN do I need to go?
Typically, patients experience results after 1-4 treatments. We do not have a "treatment" package but do encourage patients to return every 3-6 months for maintenance care (similar to dental cleanings or physical exams). The upfront cost is for that day, we do not bill in bulk.
What should I WEAR?
If possible come wearing gym attire. It is not required, but being able to see the area of complaint is very helpful.
My PAIN IS NOT IN MY BACK, can a Chiropractor help?
Yes we can! A large portion of treatments in our office are for shoulders and hips.
