Frequently Asked Questions

When you walk in you are greeted personally by me.  I will walk you to a private treatment room, from there I will begin your assessment.  After a thorough assessment and dialogue with you we will discuss the findings, I will explain the solutions and we will make your plan of care to achieve your goals. Your treatment will begin at that first visit.

The goal is not to increase your pain but to decrease it.  When your body is in a dysfunctional state and there are compensatory patterns sometimes as we educate the tissue and the system to restore “normal” function it can be a little painful.  With communication from you and in using many different techniques I can help to progress toward your goals without increased pain.  Some injuries are painful.

I work for you, the patient. In my 25+ years of treating in insurance-dictated practice, patients always suffered, due to insurance companies’ restrictions on the treatments performed, ailments that were “allowed” to be treated, the time that could be spent with a patient, and limitations on the number of patient visits. I am able to provide you with the care you deserve not the care that is recommended by an insurance plan. I will provide you with the information to submit a claim to your insurance company.
