Frequently Asked Questions

What does the $39 new patient special include?

Our $39 new patient special includes a consultation, a full exam, X-rays if needed, and a findings report, giving our doctors everything they need to understand what's going on and map out the right path forward. It's available at both our Manhattan, KS and Harrisonville MO, MO locations.

Does insurance or Medicare cover chiropractic care in Manhattan, KS or Harrisonville MO, MO?

We accept most insurance plans, including Medicare, at both locations. Coverage varies by plan, so once we have your insurance information, our team will verify your benefits and walk you through what's covered.

Does chiropractic care hurt?

Most patients feel gentle pressure during an adjustment, not pain. Our chiropractors offer both manual and Activator (low-force) techniques, so if you're nervous about traditional adjustments, we have a comfortable option for you.

How many chiropractic visits will I need?

It depends on your condition and how long you've had it. A recent auto accident injury or acute back pain often improves within a few weeks. Chronic conditions like fibromyalgia, scoliosis, or long-standing sciatica usually call for a longer care plan, which we'll map out together after your first exam.

What should I expect at my first appointment?

Your first visit includes a health history review, a physical exam, and digital X-rays if needed. Your doctor will walk you through the findings and recommend a plan before any adjustment is performed. Same-day appointments are often available at both offices.

Is chiropractic care safe after a car accident, even if I feel fine at first?

Yes. Whiplash and soft tissue injuries, including shoulder pain from seatbelts, often don't show symptoms for a day or two after the accident. We treat auto accident injuries at both our Manhattan and Harrisonville MO locations and can work directly with your insurance claim.

Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy or for children?

Absolutely! We offer pregnancy chiropractic and pediatric chiropractic care using techniques adjusted for each patient's age and stage, including gentler options like the Activator method for infants and expectant mothers.

Do you offer bundled packages or a membership?

Yes. Patients on maintenance care can join our monthly wellness club, which includes four adjustments a month at a discounted rate.

How long does the first visit take?

Plan on about 30 minutes for your first visit and evaluation. We'll have new patient paperwork to complete, so feel free to come a few minutes early or fill it out online ahead of time. After your first two visits, a typical appointment takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
