Care
Annual exam
A longer visit once a year for plan members: a talk, a hands-on exam and an update to your plan.
It is the visit where the chiropractor looks back over the year and writes down what changes.
What to expect
What a visit includes
A longer talk and a repeat of the hands-on exam.

A hands-on exam, repeated
X-rays only when medically necessary
An updated plan, in writing, if anything changes
How long and how often
It takes longer than a regular visit. It happens once a year while you are on the plan, and your chiropractor sets a plan after it. We do not promise a number of visits.
What we do not claim
We do not promise results, and results vary. An exam is not a diagnosis of any condition, and we make no claims about diseases.
Risks
An exam is hands-on but gentle. X-rays use a small amount of radiation, which is why we take them only when medically necessary and explain why first.
See a physician first
See a physician first for chest pain, a sudden severe headache, new numbness or weakness, or a fever. Your chiropractor may ask you to see one before the exam.
How it is paid
Included once a year with the Wellness plan. If you pay per visit, it is billed as a visit. We do not bill insurance. You can cancel the plan any time, with a pro rata refund.
How fees work
Questions about this care
Is the exam part of the monthly fee?
Yes, once a year while you are on the Wellness plan. You can cancel the plan any time, with a pro rata refund. If you leave, the next exam is billed as a visit.
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.
