Expert Chiropractic Care

A chiropractor is a medical professional who practices integrative treatment to complement healthcare from the patient’s primary physician and other medical care providers. Chiropractors make diagnoses and base treatments on individual patients’ specific needs. Treatments often focus on manipulations to correct joint misalignments to increase nerve function and blood flow to painful muscles and joints. Complete care chiropractic features a range of traditional and nontraditional, nonsurgical, non-invasive treatments for general health maintenance and symptom relief.

Chiropractic health care promotes the body’s ability to self-heal. Each patient’s treatment is based on his or her unique symptoms. Chiropractors focus on spinal health for many treatment needs. Complete care chiropractic services can include manual manipulation of misaligned joints and vertebrae, spinal decompression, acupuncture, laser therapy, cryotherapy, and therapeutic massage. Chiropractic treatment is non-surgical and non-invasive.

Allowable medical expense deductions on your federal income tax may include, and are not necessarily limited to: payments of fees for examinations and treatments by doctors, surgeons, chiropractors, dentists, psychiatrists, and psychologists as well as “nontraditional medical practitioners.”

Generally, chiropractic care is safe during pregnancy. Chiropractic treatments are known to help many women by alleviating aches common during pregnancy and helping decrease pregnancy related issues like sciatic and carpal tunnel.

Chiropractors conduct thorough assessments before advising patients on or administering chiropractic treatment. A chiropractic diagnostic examination includes a physical examination, neurological tests and x-rays (if needed). With the patient's consent, the chiropractic team may obtain your previous tests from your primary care physician and/or others to provide the most effective complementary treatment for pain recovery or pain management. If necessary , chiropractors may request an MRI or CT to help further evaluate the problem.

Chiropractors treat patients without referrals from a primary care doctor or another healthcare provider. Patients often see a chiropractor first before seeing another medical care professional. But, remember that some health insurance companies require prior authorization for chiropractic and other types of medical treatment. We can verify what your policy covers for you.
