FAQ

Atlantic Chiropractic collaborates with several major insurance providers, making it more convenient for our patients. We suggest that before scheduling an appointment, clients confirm with their insurance provider about the coverage. In some cases, a certain treatment might be partially or fully covered, while others may not be. Our staff is also prepared to assist in contacting your insurance provider given the necessary policy details and contact information. It's our commitment to make your experience as hassle-free as possible.

Yes, at Atlantic Chiropractic, we offer direct billing for our chiropractic and massage therapy services to all major insurance providers. This service is to ensure a smooth and streamlined experience for our patients. However, in the event that we are unable to provide direct billing for your treatment, we recommend coming to your appointment prepared with all the necessary documentation for reimbursement.

A doctor's referral is not necessary to book an appointment with us. As primary health practitioners, our chiropractic doctors are qualified to diagnose and treat conditions related to the musculoskeletal system. However, for massage or acupuncture treatments, your insurance provider may require a doctor's note for reimbursement purposes. We recommend checking with your insurance provider beforehand.

While patients might experience slight discomfort or soreness during or after treatment, these procedures should not cause significant pain. The minor discomfort felt is often due to the application of light to moderate pressure on tense areas. Many of our patients report relief and a feeling of relaxation after the treatment. Rest assured, we continually communicate with our patients during the treatment to assess their comfort levels.

At Atlantic Chiropractic, we understand that every patient’s needs are unique. Therefore, combining 2-3 treatments in one visit is possible depending on the individual's condition and tolerance. We encourage discussing this with our practitioners during your consultation to create a personalized treatment plan that works best for you.

Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is a therapy that uses low-level electrical currents to help in the reduction of inflammation and pain and promote healing. It's believed that these frequencies can stimulate cells and their energy production, increase the body's natural healing process, and reduce pain. It can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including fibromyalgia, shingles, neuropathic pain, and many others. At Atlantic Chiropractic, our trained practitioners will assess your condition and determine if FSM could be beneficial as part of your treatment plan.

Hydrothermal/Salt Therapy, also known as Halotherapy, involves breathing in salt-infused air. It's believed to help cleanse the respiratory system, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall wellness. The warm, moist air can help to open up the airways, increase oxygen intake, and cleanse the airways of smoke, dust, pollutants, and other allergens. By doing so, it can help to alleviate symptoms of asthma, chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, and other respiratory conditions. Moreover, the negative ions in salt can also help to improve mood and reduce stress.

NuCalm is a patented technology designed to help your mind and body relax and recover. It uses biochemistry, physics, and neurophysiology to rapidly and reliably create a deeply relaxed state, allowing the body to recover and rejuvenate. It can be beneficial for stress management, improving sleep quality, and enhancing focus and productivity. At Atlantic Chiropractic, we utilize NuCalm as an adjunct to other treatments, enhancing your overall wellness journey.

Osteopathy and Chiropractic are both forms of manual therapy, but they approach treatment differently. While chiropractors focus on the spine and nervous system, osteopaths take a more holistic approach, looking at the entire body and how different systems are interconnected. Both can be beneficial depending on your specific condition or health goals. During your initial consultation at Atlantic Chiropractic, our experienced practitioners will assess your health and lifestyle to determine the best approach for you.

Yes, personal training can greatly complement chiropractic care. Exercise is essential for maintaining the health of the spine and supporting structures. A personal trainer can guide you in performing exercises correctly, preventing injury, and improving strength and flexibility. In conjunction with chiropractic adjustments, this can help to alleviate pain, improve posture, and enhance overall function and performance. At Atlantic Chiropractic, we offer personalized training programs tailored to your unique needs and health goals.
