Q&A

What should I expect on my initial visit?

1. There will a brief case history (as most of the information is filled out on the intake form) 

2. You will then be asked to change into a full body gown. This will mean changing out of all of your clothing except your underwear 

3. You will be palpated and adjusted on your first visit

4. On the very first visit, your cranials (the bones of your head) will be the first area in getting adjusted (this is done to relieve any tension/stress before we progress to other areas of the body). The head bones is one of the main areas of compensation (While the pelvis the second main area of compensation) 

What should I be feeling after my first visit in getting adjusted?

1. You will commonly and naturally feel soreness either right away, or later on in the day. This is natural as the body is getting adjusted/used to the adjustments and during the process of the body finding its alignment, there can be soreness along the way. 

Are there any exercises I should do?

1. Yes, they mostly involve stretching

   1. Child’s pose is a good stretch for low back, hips, and thighs 

   2. Ear to shoulder stretches the neck 

2. It is highly recommended not to lift anything heavy after the first visit as it will affect the body’s adjustment in realignment  

How many times do I need to be adjusted? 

1. Typically 2-3 sessions 

2. Will depend on the severity of the condition/complaint 

Do you take insurance?

1. I provide superbills for patients who would like to submit their visits to their insurance for possible reimbursement. A superbill is a form that is emailed to you electronically, which you can then submit to your insurance company to request reimbursement. Please check with your insurance provider beforehand to confirm whether chiropractic services are covered under your specific plan.

2. You may also be able to use your FSA (Flexible Spending Account) or HSA (Health Savings Account) to pay for eligible chiropractic services. Please check with your FSA/HSA provider to confirm eligibility.
