Frequently Asked Questions

Most insurances do not require a physician referral to see a chiropractor. It is best to check your insurance benefits to see if your particular plan may require a primary care physician referral before your first appointment.

We participate with most major insurances companies including Medicare and most commercial, managed care insurance plans (HMO, PPO, and POS plans), along with several worker’s compensation plans.
