Yes, you can go without insurance
Lots of people see a chiropractor without insurance. Some have no coverage at all. Others have plans that do not cover this kind of care.
You do not need a card in your wallet to walk in our door. You just need to call and set up a time.
If you want to learn more about how coverage works, read our page on do you need insurance for a chiropractor. It walks through the basics in plain words.
| What it is | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| How long you have had the pain | Older problems may need more visits |
| How bad the pain is | More pain may mean a longer plan |
| Type of care | Chiropractic care and acupuncture are different services |
| Number of visits | Your plan sets how often you come in |
| Your goals | Some people want relief, others want to stay well |
Why we do not list prices here
We want to be honest with you. We do not have first-visit prices posted on this page right now.
The best way to get a real number is to ask us. Our front desk can tell you what a first visit costs today.
We would rather give you a clear answer on the phone than a guess on a web page.
What happens at your first visit
Your first visit is mostly about getting to know you. Dr. Hoffman asks about your pain, your health and your daily life.
Then he does an exam. That means he checks how you move, where it hurts and how your joints work.
After the exam, he tells you what he found. He explains the care plan he suggests and what it will cost.
Some people ask what an adjustment is. It is when the doctor uses his hands to move a joint. You can read a simple guide from the NIH about it here: spinal manipulation, what you need to know.
- Talk about your pain and health history
- A hands-on exam of how you move
- A clear talk about your care plan and its cost
- Time for your questions
What changes the total cost
No two people need the same care. That is why the full cost depends on you.
A small, new problem may need fewer visits. A pain you have had for years may need more.
The type of care matters too. The Glen offers chiropractic care and acupuncture. Acupuncture uses very thin needles placed at certain spots on the body.
Dr. Hoffman will go over all of this with you. You will not have to guess.
Ways people plan for the cost
Some people have an HSA. That is a health savings account, a special account for health costs. You can learn how one works here: what an HSA is.
If you have an HSA or an FSA, ask your plan if chiropractic care counts. Your plan can tell you for sure.
It also helps to write down your questions before you call. That way you get every answer you need in one talk.
- Ask what the first visit costs
- Ask what is part of the first visit
- Ask your HSA or FSA plan what it covers
- Ask Dr. Hoffman about your full plan after the exam
