Naturally Chiropractic | What To Expect

What to Expect

At Naturally Chiropractic we believe in the value of wellness care for you and your family and have maintained a pricing structure that allows care for all budgets. Our policy is that patients pay for their services at the time they are rendered, with the exception of patients covered by auto accident and workers' compensation policies.

Insurance
Because insurance benefits vary so greatly our patients are asked to pay for their services at the time they are rendered. The clinic will assist with submitting insurance claims for our patients so they can receive the benefits they are entitled to. We do accept auto accident and workers' compensation patients and will wait for their insurance to pay for their services.

No Insurance
For patients who have little or no insurance coverage, flexible payment programs can be arranged.

Pre-Payment Packages
Pre-payment packages are available through Naturally Chiropractic. Your Doctor will be glad to discuss the different options with you based upon the treatment plan that is recommended for you.

Family Plans
Our focus at Naturally Chiropractic is to help you and your family in taking responsibility for your health and wellness. We assist and guide you to take the time to care for the important people in your world: you and your family. In an effort to make living the wellness lifestyle as easy and affordable as possible, we can create a family plan that is specific to you and your family.

Patient Forms
Upon entering our office, you will be asked to fill out paperwork that provides us with general information about yourself and your condition.

Consultation and Examination
Next you will have a consultation with Dr. Stephanie West to discuss your health-related problems and concerns. A physical examination will be performed and x-rays will be taken if necessary. Your first visit is designed for Dr. West to learn more about you, your condition and your expectations to determine whether chiropractic care will you meet your goals. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.

Report of Findings
Once all the information and examinations have been performed, Dr. West will give you a report of findings to answer the three most popular questions:
1. Can you help me?
2. What do you recommend that I do to get better?
3. How much is it going to cost?
After discussing with you your history and your goals, examining your spine and reviewing any x-rays or tests, Dr. West will discuss recommendations with you. If you have a condition that requires care with other providers, the doctor will tell you. If Dr. West believes we can help you, she will recommend a personalized treatment plan.

Treatment
Patients will generally be treated after their report of findings. This may include spinal adjustments, physical therapies, and/or soft tissue therapies. Treatment is interactive with you so you can express any concerns you have about the style of adjustment you will be most comfortable with.

Wellness Program
Prior to leaving, patients will be instructed on a wellness program to be conducted at home. If you are in pain when you first come into our office this may include ice or heat application instructions, avoidance of certain activities or positions, as well as home exercises and/or stretches. The foundation of our overall wellness lifestyle is maintaining healthy posture and good spinal alignment, eating a healthy diet, taking supplements, keeping your weight under control and stress relief.

Chiropractic Care
We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. West has years of training in spinal adjustment techniques.

Corrective Exercises
Corrective exercises are available and can be performed in the comfort of your own home. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

Stress/Lifestyle Management
We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each patient is unique, and helping them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between doctor and patient.

Nutritional Consultations
We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patients' return to optimal health. Dr. West can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.

Spinal & Postural Screenings
Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. We provide screenings at community events, health fairs and places of employment. Contact us today to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.
