What we do not do
What we do not claim
We do not say chiropractic care treats an illness. We do not promise a result or a number of visits. We do not tell you to stop seeing your physician or to change a medicine.
We do tell you what we do, what it costs and who pays, and we send you to a physician first when your symptoms call for it.
Ask before you book
Every service page says what it costs and who pays. The fees page puts it in one place.
- A sudden severe headache or neck pain, dizziness, trouble speaking or seeing, new weakness or numbness, numbness in the groin or saddle area (between the legs and buttocks), or new bladder or bowel trouble needs emergency care now. Call 911 or go to an emergency room.
