GETTING STARTED IS EASY
Your First Visit, Step by Step
No two patients are alike, so your first appointment starts with real answers before any treatment plan. Here’s what that looks like.
1. Save Time, Fill Out Forms Ahead
Skip the clipboard in the waiting room. Complete your new patient forms online before you arrive, so your appointment time is spent with the doctor — not paperwork.
2. A Real Exam, Not a Guess
Every plan starts with a thorough exam and honest conversation about what’s actually going on with your body — and what it will take to feel better.
3. A Plan Built Around You
You’ll leave with a personalized treatment plan — not a standard protocol, and never a pressure pitch for a big prepaid package.
What to bring: a photo ID, your insurance card, and a list of any current medications. If you have recent imaging (X-ray or MRI), let us know — we can often access it directly.
INSURANCE MADE SIMPLE
We’ll Help You Understand Your Coverage
Worrying about cost shouldn’t keep you from getting care. We participate with most major insurance plans, and if you’re not sure whether yours is covered, just give us a call — we’ll check for you before your visit.

No Coverage? No Problem.
We offer competitive, affordable self-pay rates and flexible payment options — quality care shouldn’t be out of reach.
Need imaging? We have provider privileges for X-rays and MRIs at local clinics, so your images link directly to your chart — no paperwork, no carrying films between offices.
STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
That’s Completely Normal — We’ve Got Answers
Most new patients have the same handful of questions before their first visit. Here are a few we hear the most.
“Will treatment hurt?”
Most patients feel immediate relief or relaxation. Our doctors adjust their technique to your comfort level, always.
“How many visits will I need?”
It depends on you. There are no contracts or big prepaid packages here — just a plan based on how you’re progressing.
“What if I need more than chiropractic care?”
Our chiropractors, physical therapists, and massage therapists work together under one roof, so you’re never bounced between offices.
