Yes. Chiropractic care is safe when it’s tailored to the individual and delivered by a qualified professional. During your initial consultation, we carefully assess for any potential contraindications and design your care accordingly. Your safety and comfort are always our priority.
No, a Chiropractic adjustment should not be painful at all. Techniques are always adapted to your body and preferences, and nothing is done without your consent. Some mild soreness can occasionally occur, similar to after exercise, but this usually settles quickly.
Yes, in many cases, chiropractic care is still appropriate after spinal surgery. We always avoid surgically modified areas and carry out a thorough assessment before beginning care. If surgery has led to compensation or strain in other areas of the spine, these may become the focus of your care.
Yes, you’re very welcome to bring someone with you if it helps you feel more comfortable. We can also provide a professional chaperone upon request.
The cracking sound is caused by a small release of gas within the joint as it moves, similar to cracking your knuckles. Some adjustments are completely quiet, and the sound itself isn’t linked to the effectiveness of treatment.
No, for routine adjustments you will not need to remove clothing apart from coats, belts and shoes. However it may be more comfortable to be in loose fitting clothes. For your Initial Consultation, tighter, gym type clothing is ideal to help with the accuracy of the posture assessment. If any adjustment to clothing is needed to examine an area, this will always be discussed with you first and handled respectfully.
This is assessed on a case-by-case basis but routinely most of the people that come to see us do not require either to start care. If imaging is ever appropriate, we will discuss this with you and refer you to the relevant specialist.
No, we're a cash-pay practice, and that's by design. Insurance often limits how long your visits are, how many you get, and which treatments are "covered." Without it, your care is built around what your body needs, not what a
plan will pay for: a full-hour first visit, one-on-one time with Dr. Barrera, and a plan built around your goals.
Pricing is simple and shared upfront - no deductibles, copays, or surprise bills.Your first visit is $180. Package options lower your
per-visit cost if you need more than a few sessions.
Possibly. If your plan has out-of-network benefits, ask us for a superbill — an itemized receipt with the diagnosis
and treatment codes insurers require. You submit it to your insurer, and any reimbursement is paid directly to you.
Coverage varies by plan, so call your insurer and ask about out-of-network chiropractic benefits.
Yes. HSA and FSA cards work just like a regular card here. Chiropractic care is generally an eligible expense;
check with your plan administrator if you're unsure.
