Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why do kids need to be adjusted?Kids benefit from neurologically based chiropractic care because it supports their developing nervous system in a gentle, non-invasive way. Our neurological approach to chiropractic uses about the pressure you can put on your eye and does not include any twisting or popping. Pregnancy stress, birth and early developmental stages can introduce stress and tension to a baby’s spine and nervous system. This specialized chiropractic approach helps to ensure that their nervous system functions optimally, promoting healthy growth, improving sleep patterns, supporting overall well-being and so much more. By addressing any subtle imbalances early on, our kids can have a strong foundation for a lifetime of health. Check out our "Perfect Storm" and "Pediatric" sections to learn more.

How many treatments do I need?For both acupuncture and chiropractic, we will use INSiGHT scans along with a full health history to evaluate how many treatments you will need for improvement of your health. We do not guess at The Living Well and want you to get the best care!

Does acupuncture hurt?Acupuncture needles are about the width of a strand of hair; they are very small! Acupuncture is usually very comfortable that many people do not realize the needle is present. If they feel a sensation, it is a dull achey sensation.

Do you accept insurance?We are passionate about you and your family getting the care you need. Unfortunately, insurance companies dictate care without knowing your story and health needs, and therefore we do not take insurance. However, we can provide superbills for you to submit to your insurance directly and ask to check with your insurance company if they are covered for chiropractic or acupuncture. We also keep prices affordable that are competitive with co-pays. We do accept HSA and FSA forms of payment. We also always welcome open and honest conversations about finances!

What does an adjustment look like for babies and toddlers?Babies and toddlers love getting adjusted! Our neurologically focused chiropractic technique uses very gentle soft touches to make a big impact on their nervous system. Not all kiddos will lay perfectly still for their adjustments and that is OK! Part of being a pediatric chiropractor is knowing how to make an impactful adjustment no matter what. I've made floor adjustments, hug adjustments, playing with toys adjustments, hanging all over mom adjustment, and .... well, you get the point. It is important to note that I will never force your child into doing something they are uncomfortable with. Healing should be fun and relaxing, so I make sure your child's safety and comfort are my top priority. If you have questions about your child's specific situation please reach out and we are happy chat it over with you.

Is getting adjusted safe while I'm pregnant?Neurologically focused chiropractic care is not only safe for pregnant women but also a vital component of their support system. During pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes significant changes that can create stress on the spine and nervous system. This type of chiropractic care gently addresses these changes, helping to alleviate discomfort, improve pelvic alignment, and support optimal nervous system function. By enhancing nervous system health, it can also contribute to better sleep, reduced stress, and a smoother, more comfortable pregnancy. Ultimately, it supports both the mother's well-being and the development of her baby. Check out our "Pregnancy" and "Perfect Storm" sections to learn more.
