Chiropractic care is covered by most insurances including Medicare.

NRT is not covered under traditional health insurances. Patients have used their FSA accounts, and our office offers prepaid discount care plan packages. Most people, given the choice, would rather attain and then maintain their health as their best insurance policy!

For chiropractic:

For new patients, the chiropractic exam is one hour. First, we have a thorough consultation and then a detailed examination is performed. After the examination, we determine if any x-rays will be needed prior to the first adjustment.

On the second visit, the patient is given a report of findings and if the patient consents to the treatment protocol then treatment is begun.

For Nutrition Response Testing:

For new patients, the NRT exam is divided into three separate one-hour sessions.

During the first session, we perform a heart rate variability test, an NRT analysis and plan your program.

During the second session, we do genetic testing to determine if you can undergo the treatment plan devised. Lab work may be ordered if deemed necessary.

During the third session, we present a report and explain our findings. You may then accept the care plan.

It depends on your condition, age and willingness to commit to care.

Most patients feel a difference in their pain level after the first couple of visits with Chiropractic care. True correction will take longer than pain relief so that their condition stabilizes.

NRT patients can feel relief within a few weeks. If the patient is undergoing intensive detox they may not feel improvement for several weeks. Complete healing can take months if the patient is detoxing molds or parasites or has multiple organ issues. Even the toughest cases feel a difference fairly soon.

This is one question I have been asked many times over the years. The first time it was asked by an 83-year-old female patient with sciatica down her right leg. So I asked her if she had pain down her left leg. She replied, “No”. I then asked her if her left leg was also 83 years old. She grinned and then replied, “Let’s get started!”

Generally, chronic health problems do not suddenly develop overnight. They develop over a long period of time (often years) with improper diet (which cause nutritional deficiencies and imbalances) and environmental influences. All of which have resulted in your current health condition.

Therefore, the sooner and more thoroughly you implement your program, the sooner you will start to see results. While on your program, if you continue those same old habits and routines that contributed to your current condition, your body’s condition may not improve as you hope. Total commitment to your individualized program is the foundation of recovery and moving towards vibrant health.
