Practical Information
Do I need a referral from a doctor to see a chiropractor? No, you typically do not need a referral to see a chiropractor. However, some insurance plans may require a referral for coverage, so it's best to check with your provider.
What insurance do you accept? We are out of network with most insurance companies; however, we gladly accept Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA). If you have any questions regarding insurance coverage or payment options, please feel free to give us a call. We can confirm your coverage details before your visit to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience.
What should I bring to my first appointment? For your first appointment, please bring a photo ID, and any relevant medical records (doctors notes, x-rays disc/ reports, etc.) This will help our chiropractor make informed decisions about your care and start your treatment plan promptly.
What should I wear to my appointment? Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy movement. Avoid wearing heavy jewelry or belts that could interfere with the examination or treatment.
