Care
Spinal adjustment
A hands-on adjustment of the spine and other joints, by a licensed chiropractor, for adults who want to know the cost before they start.
The chiropractor picks a technique that fits you and changes it as you go. You can ask to stop at any point.
What to expect
What a visit includes
A talk, a short exam and, if you agree, an adjustment.
The chiropractor explains what they will do first
You can stop or say no at any point
A written note of what was done and what it cost
How long and how often
A visit takes as long as the exam and care need. Your chiropractor sets a plan after the exam and changes it as you go. We do not promise a number of visits, and you can stop at any time.
What we do not claim
We do not promise results, and results vary. We make no claims about conditions or diseases.
Risks
Soreness or stiffness afterward is common and usually short. Rare serious problems, including injury to an artery in the neck, have been reported after neck adjustments. Your chiropractor explains the risks before any neck adjustment, and you can say no.
See a physician first
See a physician first after a recent injury, with a fever, or with numbness, weakness or pain that is getting worse fast. Your chiropractor may ask you to see one before care.
How it is paid
A visit is billed as a visit, or it is part of the monthly plan. We do not bill insurance. You can cancel the plan any time, with a pro rata refund.

Questions about this care
Will the adjustment hurt?
Most people feel pressure rather than pain, and some are sore for a day. The chiropractor changes the technique to fit you, and we stop whenever you ask.
Do I need x-rays?
Not always. We take x-rays only when medically necessary, and your chiropractor tells you why and what they cost before they are taken.
Can I stop partway through a visit?
Yes. Tell the chiropractor and we stop. Nothing is done that you have not agreed to.
