Does insurance cover chiropractic treatment?

Yes, most insurance plans cover chiropractic care. We accept all major insurance providers including Blue Cross, Aetna, Cigna, and United Healthcare. Our team will verify your coverage before treatment begins and provide a clear breakdown of any out-of-pocket costs. We also offer affordable payment plans for those without insurance coverage.

How long until I see results from treatment?

Many patients report feeling some relief after their very first adjustment. For acute conditions like recent injuries, significant improvement typically occurs within 2-3 weeks of consistent treatment. Chronic conditions that have developed over years may require 4-12 weeks of care to see substantial improvement. We track your progress at each visit using objective measurements to ensure you're improving as expected.

Is chiropractic care safe?

Chiropractic care is widely recognized as one of the safest non-invasive therapies available for treating neuromusculoskeletal complaints. The risk of serious adverse events is extremely rare—less than 1 in 1 million adjustments. Our chiropractors have completed over 4,000 hours of specialized training and use precise, gentle techniques tailored to each patient's needs and comfort level.

Chiropractic adjustments should not be painful. Most patients report feeling immediate relief after an adjustment. You might experience mild soreness afterward, similar to what you might feel after exercise, but this typically resolves within 24 hours. We offer multiple adjustment techniques, including very gentle approaches for patients who prefer them.

How many sessions will I need?

Your treatment plan is highly individualized based on your condition, its severity, and your health goals. Acute issues might require 6-12 visits over 4-6 weeks, while chronic conditions may benefit from 2-3 months of consistent care. We'll provide a clear treatment timeline during your initial consultation and regularly reassess your progress. Our goal is to get you feeling better as quickly as possible.

Do I need a referral from my doctor?

In most cases, you do not need a referral to see a chiropractor. Chiropractors are primary care providers for musculoskeletal conditions. However, some insurance plans may require a referral for coverage. If you're unsure, our staff can help verify your insurance requirements before your first visit.

What conditions can chiropractic care help with?

Chiropractic care can help with a wide range of conditions including back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, sports injuries, pregnancy-related discomfort, postpartum recovery, joint pain, and many other musculoskeletal issues. We also support overall wellness and preventive care.

Do I need a referral to be treated for my condition?

No, you do not need a referral to schedule an appointment at AlignSD Wellness Center. You can contact us directly to book your initial consultation and assessment.

How do you determine the best treatment for my condition?

We start with a comprehensive assessment including your health history, physical examination, and any necessary diagnostic tests. Based on this evaluation, we create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific condition, goals, and preferences.

Can you treat multiple conditions at once?

Yes, many patients come to us with multiple conditions or symptoms. Our holistic approach allows us to address various issues simultaneously, as many conditions are interconnected. We develop comprehensive treatment plans that consider your overall health and wellness.

How long does it take to see improvement in my condition?

The timeline for improvement varies depending on the condition, its severity, how long you have had it, and your overall health. Some patients experience relief after just one or two visits, while others with chronic conditions may require ongoing care. We will discuss expected timelines during your initial consultation.
