Upon entering our office, our staff will welcome you as a member of our family. We request that you complete our new patient forms to provide us with your health history and other important information prior to your first visit.
After your initial visit, we’ll schedule a follow-up Report of Findings with one of our doctors to review your health history, goals, and X-rays and discuss a customized wellness program (Prescription of Care) that addresses your specific situation and needs. Every person is unique; therefore, everyone requires a customized Prescription of Care. The purpose of our Prescription of Care is for you to have a clear summary of your current health, specific goals, and get answers to any questions you have. We’ll explain what it will take fix the problem and what a reasonable timeframe would be to expect to see results.
From there, we’ll schedule you an appointment to discuss your insurance benefits (or payment plan if insurance coverage is unavailable for you).
Depending on your case, at the conclusion of the first or the second appointment, you will experience your first chiropractic adjustment.
Treatment is interactive and specialized, so we encourage you to vocalize any questions you have along the way. We’ve shared answers to our frequently asked questions below.
We understand that every patient’s financial situation is unique. During the financial planning visit, you’ll be able to discuss our suggested plan and address any questions or concerns you may have about your recommended care. You can read more about our payment options below.
We use a clinically proven method called Functional Nutritional Response Testing (FNRT) to assess how well your nervous system is functioning. During this non-invasive full-body scan, we apply light pressure to specific reflex points to detect weakened responses that signal underlying stress, nutritional deficiencies, toxins, or organ imbalances.
This process is guided entirely by your body’s responses and helps us identify issues that could slow your ability to optimally respond to chiropractic treatment. By addressing these imbalances first, we create the best possible foundation for your Prescription of Care to be effective and lasting.
Once we’ve completed your initial visits, you’ll begin ongoing treatment based on your personalized Prescription of Care.
This may include a combination of adjustments and supportive therapies at a frequency that matches your healing process. Each visit is a building block toward improving function, reducing symptoms, and supporting long-term wellness.
Our office participates in most health insurance programs. Since there are so many plans and coverage varies widely, please fill out the form below to allow us to complete an insurance verification and find out if your plan covers care in our office. Our staff will verify and explain your benefits before you begin care. Please note that benefits are not a guarantee of payment, and your insurance company may require additional paperwork both initially and on an ongoing basis.
For patients who have little or no insurance coverage, flexible payment programs can be arranged. If you have no insurance or do not have chiropractic benefits, there is still a way for you to receive the care you need. Many patients pay directly for care, as they discover chiropractic and the additional services offered in our practice to be extremely cost-effective.

We believe investing a little time and money in your health now will save you much more in the long run. We don’t want you to come to us in crisis, so we encourage you to prioritize your health before it’s too late. As the saying goes, “If you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything.”
We also accept car accident patients on a case-by-case basis. We’ll evaluate your case to ensure we can provide the best care possible and that you have the proper legal representation (we can recommend an attorney if appropriate).

You may be surprised to learn that most chiropractors practice differently based on their certifications and studies.

You can learn more about the techniques offered here.
We ask that you bring your completed new patient paperwork, insurance card (if utilizing insurance benefits), photo identification, all MRI reports, regardless of their age, and any X-Rays that have been taken within the last two years.
Due to the length of a comprehensive exam, brief insurance explanation, modalities, and an adjustment, the entire initial appointment typically lasts an hour and a half.
Here at Healthy Life Chiropractic, Spinal X-rays are required before manual chiropractic adjustments to assess alignment, detect abnormalities, and ensure safe, effective care. They help identify issues like misalignments, degenerative changes, or fractures that could impact treatment. X-rays are especially important for patients with trauma history, chronic conditions, or structural concerns. Modern digital X-rays are safe, using minimal radiation, and provide essential diagnostic information for precise and effective chiropractic care.
A specific Prescription of Care is provided and reviewed during your report of findings. This includes all of the Doctor’s recommended treatments (including at-home recommendations), frequency of chiropractic adjustments, and most importantly, goals and benchmarks for your progress.
Each person’s body is different. Healing time is based on the individual’s initial stage of wellness and their body’s speed of response to care.
