TOP TEN MYTHS:
"Chiropractors aren't REAL doctors; they're just quacks."
Today's Doctor of Chiropractic is well educated. To graduate with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree, each is required to complete 6-8 years of college education, including over 4,500 classroom hours of health-specific sciences (MORE than the average Medical school curriculum). Doctors of Chiropractic are the most educated general physicians in the areas of anatomy, nutrition, and neurology. Upon graduation they, like other doctors, must pass rigorous National Board Examinations and then demanding state testing before being granted the privilege to practice. In addition, our doctors attend postgraduate seminars to stay current on the latest scientific research.

"It HURTS."
Like lifting a heavy rock off your toe, most patients report their chiropractic adjustments actually feel good! The safest, most gentle techniques in the profession are used by our physicians to make every treatment a painless chiropractic experience.

"Insurances don't pay for chiropractic, so it costs too much."
Over 200 insurances cover Chiropractic care, and yours may be one of them! (Click here to view this list) Specific details such as type of coverage, deductibles, and limitations will be ready for you when you arrive for your appointment. For those with no insurance, an initial visit at $95 or less, & flexible payments (using major credit cards & personal checks) make our reasonable fees even friendlier.

"Once you start you have to go for the rest of your life."
The good news is that due to the expertise of our physicians you'll come in for the fewest visits possible to correct the problem. We use sophisticated techniques so your body tells us how much care you need and how often. People also confuse maintenance care with the care that is required in correcting a problem. The treatment seems similar, however, maintenance care is optional (like changing your car's oil). Our patients are always given the options and consequences and asked to make their own decision on what care they desire. Like dental checkups, once patients experience the value of chiropractic many choose to continue. You're ALWAYS the boss!

"I don't want to go because you have to take your clothes off for the doctor."
Any examination we perform is done with the patient fully clothed. AT NO TIME will you have to disrobe for the doctor. If x-rays are necessary, you can choose from a traditional gown or warm cotton sweatsuit.

"I'm too old (or young) for Chiropractic to help."
Significant spinal trauma is usually subtle and can occur at ANY age (especially during the birth process). Naturally, chiropractic adjusting procedures are modified for the specific person's condition and age.(Watch our videos to see different people receive adjustments). Chiropractic has been shown to be helpful with most 'normal' childhood health problems from colic to scoliosis, and is effective in reducing or eliminating arthritis pain.

"I don't like that cracking sound- what if he breaks my neck or hurts something?"
No cracking, twisting, or popping in out office! We use the most state-of-the-art techniques in our clinic to ensure the fastest healing in the safest manner. The adjustments are painless, precise and produce no cracking noises.

"Chiropractors are only for bad backs. I have a different problem."
Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that your body is self-healing. All body functions are controlled by the brain, spinal cord and the nerves of your body. If the cause of your condition is due to an irritation or pressure on a nerve, Chiropractors are the ONLY doctors trained to remove this nerve pressure. Since the problem commonly occurs in the spine, Chiropractic physicians have been mistaken as 'back doctors'.

"I couldn't go -- my friend had this bad experience with a chiropractor..."

No doctor can guarantee results, but we can (and WE DO) guarantee that you'll be absolutely delighted with our outstanding service to you!

"It's like any doctor's office; you wait for hours to see the doctor."

In addition, we provide patients with 24 hour emergency phone numbers so you can contact our doctors any time, day or night. And with our "No Wait" policy, the average time spent waiting for the physician is less than 10 minutes.
