New Patients

Getting Started: The First Visit

When you first call, text or email to schedule your new patient appointment, rest assured, our amazing front desk staff is there to answer any and all of your questions. Your first visit to Strive Chiropractic is a two-part process; please allow 45-60 minutes to complete both parts of this initial appointment.

Part One

When you arrive, you’ll receive a tour of the office from our caring and friendly staff. We want you to feel comfortable and relaxed, and have a moment to get oriented before we start. Next is the information gathering part of the process. We’ll ensure we have everything about your story so our doctors have your complete history.

Then we gather the tests the doctors need, which are all onsite! The tests include three nervous system scans with the INSiGHT™ Subluxation Station and a complete set of X-rays, unless the doctors determine they are not needed for your case (pregnancy, children, etc).

Part Two

After the tests, we show you into a relaxing consultation room. One of our doctors will be in to dig into how your history affects your condition before reviewing the results of your scans and X-rays. Next, they discuss a customized care plan based on your findings and your goals. Finally, your care will begin with your first adjustment!

Regular Visits

Whether you are in a corrective or wellness phase of care, your subsequent appointments at Strive Chiropractic are quick (about 10 minutes), so you can get back out the door and on with your day! At each visit, our doctors will evaluate your progress, answer any questions you may have, and offer insights to keep your body on track and moving in the right direction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I get adjusted on the first visit?

Yes! Following Part Two of our New Patient process, we have time set aside to get you your first adjustment.

Can my whole family get checked out together?

ABSOLUTELY! Most days we can accommodate a time where you can all get evaluated for your Day One visit at the same time!

Do you take insurance?

We do not accept insurance, but there are good reasons why! The landscape of health insurance has changed drastically over the past 5+ years and it is usually patients who are left out in the cold when insurance is accepted. Chiropractic care (along with some therapies, imaging, lab services, dental/vision, etc.) is considered an ancillary service. Therefore, co-pays, co-insurances, deductibles, and so on are higher than the already high insurance costs. And since insurance sets the reimbursement rates, you are left with some hefty out-of-pocket costs. Also, care is based on medical necessity which is an ever-changing and arbitrary target, meaning your care can be denied at any point … Even after you have had the service!

That is why at Strive we chose not to play that game. By cutting out that obnoxious middle man, we are able to keep costs low, never have to deal with denial of care for you, keep your needs first, and provide options for care in our office! Plus, you can still use your FLEX or HSA card!

Can I bring my kids to my appointment?

PLEASE DO! Our office is extremely “kid friendly” and we always love having more little ones around the office!

At each of your appointments, we encourage you to ask any questions you may have. You can always Call or email us, too. We want your care at Strive Chiropractic to be an efficient and completely enjoyable experience.
