WE DIRECT BILL MOST INSURANCE COMPANIES

Dr. John Scott, DC

Q: What happens at my first visit?

You’ll tell me what’s going on, I’ll run a focused exam, and—if appropriate—you’ll get same-day treatment plus targeted, simple exercises to start at home. You’ll leave with a clear plan and timeline.

Q: Is chiropractic safe? Will it hurt?

Yes—when matched to the right person and condition, it’s considered very safe. I use gentle, comfortable techniques including instrument-assisted options, and explain each step; if something isn’t right for you, we won’t do it.

Q: Do I have to be “cracked”?

No. Many effective options don’t involve joint popping—e.g., instrument-assisted adjustments, gentle mobilizations, cold-laser, shockwave and targeted exercise. We’ll choose what fits your comfort and goals.

Q: How many visits will I need?

It depends on your condition, how long it’s been there, and your lifestyle demands. You’ll get a flexible personalized plan on day one, and we’ll adjust frequency as you improve.

Q: Do I need X-rays or a referral?

Usually no. I only order imaging if your history or exam suggests it’s necessary, and you don’t need a referral from anyone to see me.

Q: Is it covered by insurance?

Most extended health plans cover chiropractic; we can direct bill many insurers. If you prefer, we’ll provide a receipt for easy reimbursement.

Instrument-Assisted Adjusting (IQ Impulse®)

If you’re nervous about “cracking,” or you prefer a lighter, more controlled approach, instrument-assisted adjustments can be an excellent option.

What it’s like:

A quick, controlled tapping sensation
Typically no twisting or aggressive force
Often preferred by patients who feel sensitive, guarded, or cautious

Your exam findings and comfort level guide the approach.

Advanced Options (when appropriate)

When clinically appropriate, care may include:

Laser Therapy to support pain reduction and recovery
Shockwave Therapy for stubborn tendon/soft-tissue pain patterns
Graston/IASTM for tight, overworked tissues affecting movement quality
Orthotics, when foot mechanics are part of the chain

Neuro-Tech Scanning (included in your initial assessment)

Neuro-tech scanning is included as part of your initial assessment to establish an objective baseline. It helps assess patterns related to posture, muscle tension, and stress physiology, and provides measurable data we can track over time.

Step 2: Assessment baseline — focused exam + neuro-tech scanning for objective tracking
Step 3: Same-day care (when appropriate) — treatment + 1–2 easy home wins
