Frequently Asked Questions:

Do you take insurance?

Yes, we are in network with most Aetna, BCBS, Medicare and UHC/UMR (United coverage only available at Old Fort Pkwy location). However, coverage will depend on what your individual benefits are, and these vary depending on your specific plan. We recommend talking to one of our insurance specialists to understand your coverage and cost.

What is included in the initial visit?

On the first visit, you will complete a set of new patient paperwork. This will guide our doctors thorough your health history, which allows us to determine the source of the problem you are wanting addressed. A comprehensive exam follows in which we will take X-rays to see what your spine and area of concern look like. You will also receive therapies that can include electric stimulation (Tens), ice, and/or mechanical traction (like a massage table). At the next appointment we will review your results and x-rays and discuss a specific treatment option that is unique to your individual needs.

Will it hurt to get adjusted?

Depending on the condition, adjustments can be tender but are followed by immediate relief. For most conditions, the adjustments are painless. If your condition causes a painful adjustment, we will adapt your treatment techniques to accommodate this discomfort.

Why do adjustments make a popping sound?

The “popping” sound or ‘cavitation’ is a release of gas from within the joint. That gas build-up limits the movement of the joint creating stiffness, inflammation, and subsequently pain.

I think I can do what the doctor just did at home… is it ok if I pop my own back/neck?

It is not recommended because you are more than likely popping the same segment over and over, which creates instability, causing the need to self-adjust more. We would rather only adjust what is needed, decreasing the need to “self-adjust” repeatedly. This can also increase your risk of injury and worsening issues if not adjusted properly.

Is it ok to get adjusted back-to-back days?

Absolutely! Sometimes consecutive treatments are necessary momentum for recovery.

How long before I start feeling better?

Some people respond instantly, whereas in some cases it may take a few weeks. Most issues do not occur overnight, so we do not expect them to be resolved overnight.

Can I get adjusted if I am pregnant?

Absolutely! A woman’s body goes through incredible transformations during pregnancy that can lead to aches and pains she may not have experienced before. Prenatal chiropractic care can assist moms in having a successful pregnancy and improved birthing process.

How much is my first day New Patient appointment?

This can depend on your insurance, if you have any, and if you have a co-pay or deductible. Insurances vary and we recommend talking to one of our insurance specialists to determine which option would be best for you. We are happy to discuss costs, so give us a call at 615-216-0333 (Old Fort) or 615-893-5679 (N. TN Blvd).

How much does it cost?

Depending on the services you receive. The cash price for adjustments is $47 and can vary depending on your insurance Copay or Coinsurance. We recommend talking to one of our offices to determine which option would be best for you.

What type of pain do chiropractors treat?

If it hurts, we typically treat it. Our chiropractic treatments are an effective approach to alleviating back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches, accident injury pain and a wide variety of other chronic conditions such as degenerative spine disease.

Can you adjust me if I have scoliosis?

Yes! It is important to have regular care, but even more so if you have scoliosis.

Are chiropractic adjustments dangerous?

All our chiropractors are Board Certified and ONLY use certified adjustment techniques which are extremely safe when administered correctly.

What happens if I do not “pop” during an adjustment?

Some people “pop” less or more than others. Some do not “pop” at all. It is still effective if the spine moves.

Once I start coming for adjustments, do I have to come forever?

The original objective is to fix the problem that you are seeking treatment. Once achieved, we recommend a plan of maintenance care to prevent it from returning.

Can kids or babies get adjusted?

Yes! We see kids as young as a few days old. An adjustment can help with feeding problems, sleep disturbances, ear infections, colic, and increase the comfort of an infant.

Why do babies get adjusted?

The birthing process can be quite traumatic, and adjustments help to ensure the baby is well aligned after delivery. As children grow and develop, we want to make sure your child is moving optimally so that there are no developmental delays or dysfunction with normal daily tasks.

DECOMPRESSION QUESTIONS:

What conditions does spinal decompression alleviate?

The most common conditions are Degenerative Disc Disease, Arthritis, Disc Herniation or bulges, failed back surgery, and chronic back pain.

Is there a risk involved with spinal decompression therapy?

There are no risks, but we like to do a test drive first to make sure your pain is not too severe to commit to treatment and that you are comfortable on the table. Therefore, we offer a free trial to every spinal decompression candidate.

Why is spinal decompression better than having surgery and fixing it?

Although surgery may “fix it,” it is known that if you remove a part of your body or insert something foreign, your body will eventually have to compensate for it. We believe in trying to let the body heal itself first. This can also help to maintain mobility.

How many visits for Spinal Decompression Therapy?

We start with the recommendation of twenty-four (24) visits. Research shows twenty-four treatments are the minimum effective dose for recovery. Every patient is different, however, so we will tailor the treatment to your individual needs.
