Meet Dr. John Scott

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.
