Top 3 Questions to Ask Your
Colorado Springs Chiropractor
1. Do You Accept My Insurance?
As a Colorado Springs Chiropractor, my staff gets asked this question daily.
The simple answer is: Yes.
The longer answer is, "Yes, we accept your insurance, but we don't know yet if they accept us."
Insurance is a mess. Whether you are in-network or out-of-network, it doesn't matter. We must call patients' insurance company to determine their benefits to know exactly what they will or will not cover. And even then, the insurance companies have loop holes.
Some companies' out-of-network benefits are just as good or better than their in-network benefits. And two people may have the same company, but different plans, and therefore different benefits. And some companies say that they will cover a certain amount, but in actuality, they do not.
No matter your coverage, we can work with you to come up with a payment that works for you and us. Just bring your card in on your first visit.
2. Do you run a "high volume" clinic?
I got my "feet wet" in my profession working for a high-volume Colorado Springs chiropractor. The good part is that it honed my skills because I saw so many people. The bad part is that it is impossible to offer high-quality health care when you are seeing someone for 3-5 minutes.
That is why I've chosen not run a "high-volume" chiropractic clinic. What the doctor and patient gain in efficiency, they lose in quality. We work very hard to keep a good balance - to not keep you longer than necessary, and to not miss something because we are speeding along.
3. What is your chiropractic philosophy?
Each Colorado Springs Chiropractor is one of a kind. Your job is to find one that meshes with your health care philosophy.
So, test us. Make it a grueling test. This is your body we are talking about.
While I'm a huge believer in the spinal adjustment (what I like to call an "alignment"), I do not believe it is the "end-all," for back pain or health. I've had patients come in with "tight" back, caused by a mineral deficiency. One inexpensive bottle of magnesium took away the pain. The deficiency was causing muscle spasms.
Health is balance, and that includes nutrition, structural balance, and a healthy mind. The brain-body connection is a huge component, but it is not everything.
That's why I take my patients "beyond the back." In my patients words, this improves their quality of care.
