Frequently Asked Questions About Chiropractic
Do you take my insurance?
We do not take insurance and we are not part of any insurance group. However, if your PPO insurance covers chiropractic services and you have met your deductible, the insurance company will reimburse you. We will give you a superbill, which includes all information required for the insurance company to reimburse you. If the insurance company does not reimburse you, chances are they would not pay us either. Our cash prices are so affordable that it's likely that they are comparable to a copay. We also have several promotions throughout the year so look for our special offers.

Despite new implant technologies and surgical techniques leading to increased rates of spinal fusion surgery, the percentage of patients requiring further low-back surgery after spinal fusion has increased since the early 1990s. These findings are scheduled for publication in the September 1st issue of the journal Spine.
Among patients undergoing spinal fusion in 1997-2000, the risk of repeated lower back surgery within the first year was about 40% higher than for patients initially operated on in the early 1990s. After the first year, re-operation rates were similar between the two periods. Spine – September 1, 2007;32:211-26. www.spinejournal.com

BENEFITS OF NECK ADJUSTMENTS OUTWEIGH RISKS
The benefits of chiropractic care outweigh any potential risks for patients with neck pain. These findings are from a new study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics.
The analysis included 529 patients cared for by 79 doctors of chiropractic. “Most patients had chronic, recurrent complaints; mild to moderate disability of the neck; and a mild amount of pain at baseline; and two thirds had sought previous care for the presenting complaint in the preceding 6 months.”
According to the article, “no serious adverse events were recorded during the study period.”
Adverse events after any of the first 3 treatments were reported by 56%. However, only 13% of the study population reported these events to be severe in intensity. “The most common adverse events affected the musculoskeletal system or were pain related, whereas symptoms such as tiredness, dizziness, nausea, or ringing in the ears were uncommon (<8%). Only 5 subjects (1%) reported to be much worse at 12 months.”
The analysis also showed chiropractic to be highly effective: “Of the patients who returned for a fourth visit, approximately half reported to be recovered, whereas approximately two thirds of the cohort were recovered at 3 and 12 months.”
