Question 1

What do I need to bring on my first visit?

Accepted Answer

It’s best to bring a current insurance card (if billing health insurance) and any prior imaging or lab work that you would like our doctors to review.

Question 2

How long will it take?

Accepted Answer

We schedule 45 minutes in the room with the doctor for each new patient. We’ll ask that you show up 10-15 minutes prior to your first visit to fill out paperwork.

Subsequent visits are usually scheduled for 15 minutes with the doctor.

Question 3

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Athletic clothes are preferred. Something you can move comfortably in. Although dresses and skirts can be worked around, they are not recommended.

Question 4

What happens during the first visit?

Accepted Answer

After paperwork is finished, you will be escorted to a private treatment room. The doctor will review your relevant health history, chiropractic experience & preferences, perform brief neurological and orthopedic exams, provide a diagnosis, then proceed with adjustment and stretching if needed. Afterward, recommended therapeutic modalities will then be performed by one of our doctor’s assistants in our therapy bay. You’ll often be provided with home recommendations and exercises to maintain your progress. Subsequent visits do not generally call for history review, chiropractic experience review, nor exams & diagnosis. After the initial trip to our office, your visits should consist of adjustment, soft tissue work, and any necessary therapies.

Question 5

Can I bring someone with me?

Accepted Answer

Please do. We can accommodate three people in our treatment rooms. Our doctors encourage new patients to bring a friend or family member. An extra pair of ears is always useful when you return home and may have forgotten or misunderstood something.

Question 6

Do you take X-rays?

Accepted Answer

No. If the doctor feels like imaging is necessary, we work with Health Images Longmont. Our doctors can directly order imaging studies at their facility from our office. Your visit at Health Images is generally brief and you’ll leave with a copy of your images on a disc. The studies will then be reviewed by a medical radiologist, a chiropractic radiologist, and our team. We will then schedule a complimentary appointment to review the actual images so you have a clear understanding of the findings.

Question 7

Do you use the Y-strap or other tools I've seen on TikTok/Youtube?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not! Some of those people are doing very sensational things that put their patients in harm's way.

Question 8

Do you adjust babies?

Accepted Answer

No — and for good reason. Infant spines are still developing, with vertebral joints that won't fully mature until later in childhood. Traditional chiropractic adjustments aren't appropriate for babies.

That said, we can absolutely work with infants using gentle, age-appropriate techniques — light soft tissue work and subtle mobilization that encourages healthy motion without any of the force used on adult spines. Many parents bring in newborns and infants for issues like torticollis, feeding difficulties, or general fussiness, and we're able to address those with a touch that's nothing like a typical adjustment.

Question 9

Do you participate in Worker's Compensation cases?

Accepted Answer

No. We have opted out of all Work-Comp. We can certainly recommended a suitable clinic that does participate. Just give us a call.
