We strive to provide the highest quality chiropractic care to our patients. If we decide your particular symptoms will benefit from chiropractic care, our goal is to then get you back to feeling 100% as soon as possible using the most effective chiropractic and soft tissue therapies and without any unnecessary treatments. This means you?ll be feeling better in a shorter period of time and in less visits!
Most of our patients, as soon as they become pain free, choose to benefit from monthly care to stay on top of their health, but some choose to return occasionally for symptomatic treatment. We encourage our patients to choose what is best for their particular circumstances. We do not use high pressure or misleading sales pitches, nor do we demand payment for treatments in advance. Payment is strictly the traditional ?fee for service? arrangement.
