Even though we’re a cash‑based practice, you can still use your insurance — if your plan offers out‑of‑network benefits.
Here’s how it works:
• Pay at the time of your visit
• Ask for a superbill (a detailed receipt)
• Submit it to your insurance
• They may reimburse you directly
If you’re unsure what your plan covers, you can ask your insurance company whether it includes out‑of‑network reimbursement for chiropractic care.
Simple, transparent, patient‑centered.

Choosing a cash‑based model lets us keep your care simple, transparent, and centered on what you actually need — not what an insurance company decides.
Here’s what that means in real life:
• Clear pricing
• No surprise bills
• Treatment plans based on your goals
• More time focused on your care, not paperwork
And yes — paying is easy.
We accept credit, debit, check, HSA, and FSA for eligible services.
If you’ve ever felt confused or frustrated by insurance rules, this model removes the guesswork and keeps your care straightforward from start to finish.

Heavy lifting for bone health is real.
The LIFTMOR trial showed that supervised strength training can actually increase bone density, even in people who’ve been told to stick to “gentle” exercise. You don’t start with big weights. You start with good form, smart progressions, and a body that adapts the same way trees do in the wind: the right stress makes them stronger.

Cupid stopped by on his busy day to get his arrows straightened out. He’s all set and ready to spread the love!

Grateful for patients who trust the process and invest in their long term health. Rehab is important, but prevention and education are where real progress happens. Thanks for the kind words and for letting me be part of your recovery and performance journey.
