Chiropractic FAQs
How much time should I schedule? The typical 1st visit with Dr. Woodward will take about 30 minutes. You can save time by bringing a completed new patient health history form to your consultation. Future visits take 10 minutes for a basic chiropractic visit, 30 minutes for a chiropractic and rehab visit, and 1 hour for a chiropractic and massage visit.
How long till I’m better? Most uncomplicated injuries are significantly better within 4-6 visits. More complicated cases may take upwards of 18-24 visits. Most patients are initially seen 2-3x’s per week and are back to full health within 2-6 weeks.
Among others, common factors that lengthen healing time may include your fitness level, how long you’ve had your injury, your diet, & lifestyle. We will reassess your progress on a regular basis and have specific outcome measures to ensure each treatment is necessary and productive in helping you return to full health.
How much does it cost? Patients that pay in full at the time of service and do not require additional billing/ administrative work are offered discounts. You can expect to pay approx. $120 for the first visit and $80 for subsequent visits if you qualify for these discounts.
Our services are covered by most insurance plans and pricing may be set by your insurance carrier. WE ARE ON MOST INSURANCE PLANS and will also treat patients injured in AUTO ACCIDENTS.
We do accept credit cards, including HSA and FSA accounts, checks, and cash. We also offer outside low monthly financing options through Care Credit or Green Sky. If you do wish to use outside financing we recommend following those links to get pre-authorized before your 1st visit.
What should I wear? Most of our patients are able to receive effective treatment in their regular clothes. Some patients choose to keep a set of gym clothes in their car to use especially during rehab appointments.
Do I have to get my back ‘cracked’? Cracking is common with some chiropractic methods, but not all. If you are squeamish about the sound of escaping pressure (“popping”) from a jammed or stuck joint please let us know. We offer several other chiropractic techniques such as the Activator Method, that are very gentle and safe for babies, the elderly, those with fusions, implants, and even with thinning bones (osteoporosis).
After a consultation and examination, Dr. Woodward will discuss treatment options and see if he can accommodate your specific needs and preferences. Most are happy to learn that they can get great results in our office, and some never even need to have their backs cracked!
What programs & gift certificates are offered? We offer gift certificates for wellness or relaxation massages.
Will you participate in our health fair? If your company/ group is interested in spinal screenings, Lunch-N-Learns, Health Fair, chair massage, or employee appreciation programs, please contact us!
