Chiropractic FAQs: Insurance, First Visits, Prenatal, Pediatrics & More

Will I get adjusted on my first visit?

-In most cases, yes. After your consultation and exam, we’ll discuss your treatment options and, if appropriate, provide your first chiropractic adjustment the same day.

Do you accept Insurance?

-Yes. We’re in-network with Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, NYSHIP, Oxford, United Healthcare, and others. We also accept No-Fault (auto accident), Workers’ Comp, and personal injury cases.
🗓️ Starting August 15, 2025, Dr. Stephanie will also accept Healthfirst patients

How long will my first visit be?

-Most new patient visits last about 60 minutes, including your exam, consultation, and treatment (if applicable). If you have complex issues or multiple concerns, we’ll take the time needed to provide a complete, thorough visit.

Does Chiropractic care hurt?

-Chiropractic adjustments are generally gentle and relieving. That said, if there’s inflammation in the joints or surrounding muscles, some movements may feel temporarily uncomfortable. We always tailor our care to your comfort level and tolerance—communication is key.

You may feel a bit sore after your first treatment, similar to how your body feels after a good workout. This is normal and typically subsides within a day or two as your body begins to adjust and heal.

What if I don't have insurance?

-We offer affordable chiropractic care for patients without insurance, including package deals, Our front desk team will walk you through your options with no pressure.

Take advantage of our $99 New Patient Summer Special. Available only to non-insurance patients.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

-Please bring a valid photo ID, your insurance card (if applicable), any recent imaging or medical reports, and a list of current medications. Comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting a little oil on are best, especially if your treatment includes massage or soft tissue work.
