Frequently Asked Questions

We are in-network with most major insurance companies. Please bring your ID and insurance card with you to your first appointment and our front desk will provide a complimentary, thorough benefits check for you.

Each and every case is unique. Depending on the severity of your symptoms and the initial findings, the doctor may determine whether an adjustment is appropriate on day one. Typically, our patients receive their first adjustment at their second visit following the thorough Report of Findings, ensuring our doctors have ample time to review your case history, examination, and x-rays.

Every person and care plan is different. We will know your exact out-of-pocket cost once our doctors evaluate your examination findings and verify your insurance coverage. Keeping chiropractic care affordable and accessible for the entire family is one of our highest priorities.

You can expect your comprehensive first visit to take approximately 45 to 60 minutes. This includes your health history consultation, physical and spinal evaluations, and digital imaging if needed.

Every case is different. We do not use cookie-cutter plans. Once we review your spinal evaluation, symptoms, and health goals, Dr. Sam and Dr. Paige will outline a personalized recommendations plan designed to achieve lasting results.

The need for digital x-rays depends on your health history and examination findings. X-rays allow us to view the exact alignment and structure of your spine with precision, while ruling out any underlying conditions that could alter treatment. If you have taken spinal x-rays within the last 3–5 years, let us know and we can request records on your behalf.

We completely understand when you are experiencing discomfort, but your safety and long-term recovery come first. To deliver the safest and most effective care, our doctors must review your examination and imaging before adjusting. If clinically indicated, immediate relief therapies may be provided on day one, followed promptly by your tailored adjustment.

The birth process can place significant physical stress and tension on an infant's delicate spine and nervous system. Gentle pediatric adjustments help optimize nervous system function, support healthy sleep and digestion, boost immunity, and prevent subtle misalignments from turning into chronic problems as children grow.

Your nervous system controls every organ, muscle, and cell in your body through the spinal cord. A subluxation occurs when a vertebra moves out of proper alignment, creating pressure or irritation on spinal nerves. This nerve interference disrupts communication between brain and body, leading to decreased function, tension, and reduced overall vitality.

Not at all. You are always in full control of your care. Many practice members choose ongoing maintenance adjustments because they experience noticeably greater energy, improved mobility, and overall wellbeing—similar to regular exercise or dental hygiene. We will support whatever care frequency best suits your lifestyle and goals.
