What is your cancellation policy?
We ask for 24 hours notice when cancelling an appointment. We also understand that sometimes it’s not possible to provide a full day, especially for patients who are on-call, or if an emergency occurs.
We try to be as flexible as possible and generally only bill a “Missed Appointment Fee” of $60.00 if a patient fails to keep a scheduled appointment with very little or no notification (i.e., a “no show”).
Can you bill my extended medical provider directly?

Do the adjustments hurt?
No, not usually. You may feel a slight discomfort while your muscles adjust to their new position and adapt to increased movement. You might also hear a “popping” noise, similar to when your ears “pop” from changes in altitude. This sound is perfectly normal and completely safe, caused by vibration and pressure equalizing in the joint.
What should I wear to my appointments?
Comfortable pants or shorts are preferred. Yoga pants or jogging pants work well, although we do have gowns in the office if you prefer to wear one.
What are your hours?
Please refer to our Contact page for our current clinic hours.
Who can benefit from chiropractic?
Everyone can benefit from regular adjustments! This includes pregnant women and babies right through to seniors. Chiropractic will keep your alignment in check which in turns helps your brain and body to perform at their optimal levels.
We’re here to help the entire family!
I believe my children have flourished under his care.
