Frequently Asked Questions for Your Albuquerque Chiropractor
Our fee for your initial two visits is $235. This includes your first visit where you’ll receive our initial examination, a doctor consultation, and computerized neurological studies to help us get to the root cause of your health concerns. In addition, this also includes your second day visit which includes a detailed report of findings, any recommendations made by your doctor, and your first adjustment that same day.
Most insurance companies are not up to speed with the most innovative chiropractic procedures. They mostly still consider what we do as “investigational” even though our initial neurological studies have decades of research studies behind them, proving them safe and effective.
Our goal is to focus on your care, not haggling with insurance companies. However, we take HSA cards and always provide itemized statements for self-submission as many insurance companies today have out-of-network, chiropractic benefits.
We are trained to use a variety of techniques. We use a combination of drop tables, adjusting instruments, and traditional adjustments by hand. In addition, our doctor is certified in Webster Technique for pregnancy care. Your comfort and experience is our primary focus when fixing your alignment.
The quick answer is no. There are no lifetime contracts in our offices. In addition, people leave care when they like. Chiropractic is not addictive, unless you consider a desire to be your best self unhealthy.
We recommend chiropractic care for as long as you wish to be your best. We are passionate about helping you feel and function optimally and, like getting your regular dental cleanings, wellness chiropractic adjustments are a recommended wellness component.
This depends on how healthy or damaged your spine is in addition to how stressed and overworked your nervous system may be. For certain patients, we factor in the level of degenerative (arthritic) changes present. After your initial evaluation, we will know the answer to these questions. We will review this in great detail when we go over the results of your first visit.
If necessary we will refer out for x-rays. This depends on your unique situation of course. In addition, we utilize a technology co-developed by NASA. We are able to scan your spinal muscles and alignment in several ways. Therefore, this allows us to zero in specifically on your injured areas. We also then can measure the progress in your spine we achieve with post scans.
Your initial evaluation in our office will take 20-40 minutes. We kindly ask that you please fill out our online intake forms on your phone or computer before your visit. This will save you time in the office and allow the doctor to be most prepared. We send you this link when initially scheduling to expedite your visit. We pride ourselves on being an extremely punctual office. Therefore, please arrive at your appointment 5 minutes early. We assure you this is not your typical doctor’s office experience.
Medicare and Medicaid are not covered in our office. Medicare has deemed our services as “wellness care.” Therefore, it does not contribute to care in our office.
Chiropractic is vastly safer than any drug or medical procedure. Chiropractic malpractice premiums are quite small compared to those paid by M.D.’s. When a chiropractor makes a mistake, nothing (as opposed to a good result) happens, or one might end up a little sore.
Compare this to these frightening statistics for medicine. It has been estimated that over 100,000 people die each year from prescription drugs taken in the hospital.
Everyone is different! We wish we could predict how fast your body will heal, but there are several factors involved. Our focus is to remove any blockages to your body’s nerve supply, restoring alignment, and allowing your body to heal faster. This healing process is unique to each person. Feeling better is also based on things like inflammation, exercise habits, and stress levels.
Our oldest client is 99 years old! Most weeks we adjust newborn babies as well. 50% of our practice is children. This is because most folks want their children to reach their full potential. 100% nerve supply is an important part of that equation!
