Our office has a highly trained staff that will guide you through the appointment making process. We can answer the questions you may have about our financial policies. We are providers for most insurance plans and will gladly help you to file your claims. We never charge for the initial consultation. This is a meeting spent with the doctor to investigate if chiropractic may be for you.
If after the no charge consultation, the doctor and you decide to move forward, a thorough examination will be offered. X-rays are available but are not mandatory with every case. This is a decision the doctor will make after the examination. Many times the patients want to know how much an exam and X-rays cost. This all depends on the many factors involved in your case. There is no one exam or one X-ray plan that covers all conditions. This is entirely dependent upon your condition and varies depending on the severity. The doctor typically can discuss his expectations for the initial cost at the time of the no charge consultation.
After the examination has been performed, the doctor will sit down with you and discuss his recommendations. Every patient is different and the doctor's training and experience will help him decide what is necessary to relieve your pain and restore your health.
Often times nutrition and rehabilitative exercise programs are developed. The doctor has had additional post-graduate training in foot orthoses and may recommend custom orthotics for the feet.
