Laying the foundation
Chiropractic care is like building a house – certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. The same is true for your body. Your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully. There are three general phases of chiropractic care . . .
Phase 1: Relief Care
If you are in pain when you come into our office, the first objective is to help you feel better. Depending on the severity of your problem, it is typical to need care 2-3 times per week for 4-12 weeks.
Phase 2: Corrective/Restorative Care
During the corrective care phase, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, thereby helping prevent injury. It is typical to need care 4-8 times per month for 6-24 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem.
Phase 3: Wellness Care
Once your body has fully healed, it is important to come in for periodic adjustments to avoid problems in the future. Usually, this only requires a quick visit to the chiropractor 1-4 times per month, based on your lifestyle and goals.
Dear patients,
The in-network insurance time has come!
Those patients that are cash only will not be affected by these changes! These changes do not apply to Medicare.
Dr. Taylor has joined a multi-disciplinary group of healthcare providers for our patients with insurance. We will be coordinating your care with our medical director, Lisa Kirk D.O. Dr. Kirk will be in office on Tuesdays 1-4 and will be overseeing your treatment plan. We will have one Tuesday a month with later hours to accommodate those who cannot leave school/work for this appointment.
This will enable your care to be in-network with UMR, United Healthcare, BCBS, Aetna, and Cigna. You must see Dr. Taylor for a current examination and then meet with Dr. Kirk to establish the treatment plan. We will verify your benefits so you know exactly your co-pay or co-insurance %. Please note that your time to see Dr. Kirk should be about 30 minutes from the time you walk in until you walk out.
We are excited about some new treatments we will be implementing to increase function and quality of life for those of you who are stuck with the same old patterns of subluxation and complaints!
Please call or email Angelica to get started. We have openings this week (May 9,10) in time to get scheduled for Dr. Kirk next week on Tuesday, May 15.
This is open to current patients until June 1, 2012. Then we will be opening it up to new patients with insurance.
This is the best time to let those you know who have not been in our office because of insurance issues to call and get scheduled before we fill up those appointments. Posted May 8, 2012
