Frequently Asked Questions
We make getting started simple with our $19 New Patient Special, which includes a consultation, comprehensive exam, X-rays if needed, and your first chiropractic adjustment.
If additional care is recommended, we'll review your options and any applicable insurance benefits with you before treatment begins. You'll know your expected financial responsibility so you can make an informed decision about your care.
Yes. Northwood Chiropractic & Wellness works with a number of insurance plans. Coverage for chiropractic care varies by plan, so we recommend verifying your specific benefits before beginning care.
Our team can also help you understand your benefits and expected financial responsibility.
In most cases, patients can schedule directly with a chiropractor without a referral. However, individual insurance plans may have their own requirements.
If you're planning to use insurance, it's always a good idea to confirm your plan's referral requirements.
Your first visit begins with a consultation so we can understand what's bothering you, how it's affecting you, and what you'd like to get back to doing.
We'll then perform a comprehensive examination and take X-rays if clinically appropriate. If chiropractic treatment is appropriate, your $19 New Patient Special includes your first adjustment.
We'll also discuss our findings and recommendations so you understand your options moving forward.
Not everyone needs X-rays. Whether imaging is appropriate depends on your health history, symptoms, examination findings, and other clinical factors.
When X-rays are clinically indicated, they can provide additional information that helps us evaluate your condition and determine appropriate care.
There isn't one treatment schedule that works for everyone.
The number and frequency of visits depend on factors such as your condition, how long you've had it, examination findings, your goals, and how you respond to treatment.
If ongoing care is recommended, we'll explain why and discuss the plan with you.
Chiropractic care is generally considered safe when provided by a licensed chiropractor, although—as with any healthcare treatment—there are potential risks and it isn't appropriate for every condition.
We'll review your health history and perform an examination to determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you and which treatment techniques are suitable.
Yes. We evaluate and treat musculoskeletal injuries associated with motor vehicle accidents, including neck pain, back pain, headaches, and whiplash-related symptoms.
Because symptoms may not always appear immediately after an accident, an evaluation can help determine whether an injury is present and what type of care may be appropriate.
No. Northwood Chiropractic & Wellness does not perform the Ring Dinger® or Y-Strap adjustment.
We use chiropractic techniques selected based on your examination findings, condition, comfort, and individual needs. If you have questions about a particular adjustment technique you've seen online, we're happy to discuss it with you.
