FAQs

Is chiropractic manipulation safe?

Is chiropractic manipulation safe?
Yes, chiropractic manipulation is a very safe and effective treatment for most of the general population. If you are interested in seeing some research articles that discuss its safety and effectiveness, please ask us. We would be more than happy to sit down and talk with you about this if it is a concern of yours.

What will my appointment with the doctor be like?

At your first appointment, you will be asked to fill out some paperwork regarding your chief complaint and your past medical history. Then you will meet with Dr. Rachael or Dr. Nathan, and they will continue to ask you more details about each of those. After they have grasped an understanding of your personal history, they will perform a physical exam tailored to your chief complaint. At that time, they will discuss with you their findings and likely diagnosis. Treatment options will be discussed and upon consent, treatment will begin. It is possible that x-rays or other imaging may be needed, and if that is the case, your chiropractor will discuss that with you before any treatment begins.

How long are the appointments?

The initial appointment may last up to an hour, and potentially more, depending on your case history. Each subsequent appointment will be much shorter but may still vary depending on the severity of your case. At the minimum, you should plan to spend at least 15 minutes for each appointment.

Do you take my insurance?

We are no longer in network with any insurance companies and do not submit any insurance claims. The insurance model simply does not align with how we would like to treat our patients. We prefer longer appointments, more specific treatment plans, and individualized care.

How much will my appointment cost?

We believe in full transparency with our charges at ZFC. For that reason, we have our prices listed on our website under Fee Schedule. We encourage you to use any HSA or HRA funds to pay for your care!
