FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about chiropractic care, treatment duration, and costs.
General Chiropractic
Is chiropractic care safe?▾
Yes. Chiropractic care is one of the safest forms of healthcare for musculoskeletal conditions. Our doctors are licensed, extensively trained, and use techniques appropriate for each patient's age and condition.
Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt?▾
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during an adjustment. You may hear a popping sound — that's simply gas releasing from the joint, similar to cracking your knuckles. Some patients feel mild soreness for 24 hours after their first few visits, which is normal.
How long will I need to come in?▾
Treatment duration depends on your condition, its severity, and how long it has been present. Acute injuries often resolve in a few weeks. Chronic conditions may require longer care. Your doctor will give you a specific recommendation after your initial exam.
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?▾
No referral is needed. You can call us directly and schedule an appointment. We accept walk-ins based on availability.
Costs & Insurance
Do you accept insurance?▾
We accept auto insurance Med-Pay coverage and most attorney liens for auto accident cases. For other services, please call our office to discuss your specific coverage and payment options.
What does a first visit cost?▾
The cost of your first visit varies depending on the services needed. Please call our office at (559) 685-9391 for current pricing and to discuss your specific situation.
Will I have out-of-pocket expenses for auto accident care?▾
In most cases, no. If you were injured in an auto accident, we work with your Med-Pay coverage or attorney lien so you typically have no out-of-pocket expenses. Our billing specialist will verify your coverage before you begin treatment.
Treatment & Services
Do you take X-rays?▾
Yes. We offer in-house digital X-ray services. X-rays help the doctor determine the safest and most effective way to treat your condition. They are taken only when clinically indicated.
What is spinal decompression?▾
Spinal decompression using the DRX9000 is a non-surgical treatment that gently reduces pressure within lumbar discs. It is effective for herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic low back pain. Sessions are comfortable and last approximately 30 minutes.
What is shockwave therapy?▾
Focused Shockwave Therapy uses targeted sound waves to stimulate healing in chronic tendon and soft tissue conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and shoulder tendonitis. It is non-invasive with no downtime and has an 80%+ success rate.
Do you offer massage therapy?▾
