What insurances do you take?
We are in network with most Blue Cross Blue Shield (and most of their associated plans), Moda, PacificSource, and Kaiser plans with self referral benefits. We also take all motor vehicle accident claims. If you would like us to check if we take your specific plan, give us a call with your ID number ready and we will check for you. As a part of our excellent customer service, our staff will verify your insurance benefits when you schedule as a new patient in our clinic. These benefits will be explained to you at or before your first visit. However, it is ultimately YOUR responsibility to contact your insurance company and know exactly what your coverage includes.
Do you offer treatment for people without health insurance?
Yes – if you do not have health insurance you can pay a “time-of-service” rate for your exams and treatment. Please call the office for current rates and details: (503)492-6851
What kind of adjustments do you do?
All of our doctors are highly trained in many areas, but we specialize in manual manipulations. They are just as skilled with activator manipulations, if that's more your style. Our doctors also try to utilize our physiotherapies when necessary to make your visit more comfortable. They are also highly trained in McKenzie, Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), and much more.
Do you work on pregnant people?
Yes, absolutely! Chiropractic can be a great way to help relive pregnancy related pain, as well as massage. Our providers can accommodate you and your growing belly in any stage of your pregnancy. Talk to your provider about your preferences, and they will happily be able to support you in your journey.
What can I expect from my visit to a chiropractor?
Before your first visit you can expect to start with filling out some paperwork that will include a lot about your current complaint as well as your health history. When you arrive for your appointment with your paperwork finished, you will been checked in, then your payment and any additional necessary info will be collected. When called back, the doctor will then ask you questions about your current complaint(s), and answer any questions/concerns you may have about your condition, and about treatment. He or she will do a thorough examination, and possibly order x-rays or any other appropriate diagnostic studies or tests to accurately diagnose your condition and develop the best treatment plan specifically for you. Usually, you can expect to receive treatment on the first visit.
What can I expect from my visit to a chiropractor?
Your first appointment will be scheduled for approximately 1 hour. An initial exam is required by law and our practitioners will not administer treatment until it is completed.
Re-examinations are scheduled for 30 minutes and will take place at the end of your treatment plan to determine if you are ready to be released from care or if your condition requires further attention. The timeline of this will completely depend on your condition and this will be communicated to you by your doctor.
Routine visits are scheduled for 30 minutes but may last a little longer depending on the treatment(s) administered. For example, if therapeutic exercise is a part of your treatment plan, your appointment time will be extended appropriately.
