4. What is the cost of chiropractic care?

Like all medical expenses, the cost of chiropractic care depends greatly upon the type of injury, time necessary for healing, and treatment options. It also depends on the number of x-rays, frequency of treatments, and type of therapy used to treat the injury. It should be noted that consistent chiropractic care is usually less expensive than traditional methods. Please ask our professional staff about the cost of treatment and our affordable payment options.

7. How many treatments will be required each week for maximum healing?

Three treatments per week are usually required for most injuries. Monday, Wednesday and Friday are the best days, since this schedule provides a day of rest between visits. Our office hours are 8am-7pm Monday, Wednesday and Friday and Tuesday 8am to 5:30pm. Scheduling appointments in advance enables us to reduce your time in the reception area and serve you more effectively.

9. Why are x-rays necessary?

In most cases, x-rays are absolutely essential for effective diagnosis and treatment. Without the use of x-rays, the doctor would only be guessing about the actual cause of the pain and how to facilitate the healing process.
