Questions

  • Generally, athletic clothes are recommended so that you can move freely and comfortably during your appointment. You can expect to be moving and exercising at times during the appointment, so please dress accordingly.

    If soft tissue work is likely to be performed at the visit, wearing or bringing a pair of shorts when addressing a lower body complaint, and for females, wearing or bringing a tank top for an upper body complaint is very helpful to easily access the area of complaint. No worries if you forget! Shorts and gowns will be available in the office when needed.

  • Virtual appointments can be very beneficial for helping patients recover from pain and injuries. Since there will not be any hands on treatment (manual therapy) on fully remote/virtual patients, rehab exercises and lifestyle modifications will be the major components of remote/virtual care. Thorough and transparent explanations of what the patient is experiencing and how they can manage and overcome their complaint is a primary focus with telehealth. The patient takes a large responsibility in adhering to the treatment plan as they are not relying on a clinician to work on them.

  • We do not accept insurance because insurance dictates care by only reimbursing for certain treatments. Being out-of-network enables us to have full autonomy when treating our patients, allowing us to put our patients needs first.

  • The virtual consultation is an opportunity for us to get to know you, what you are currently going through, and your goals with care as well as your health. This consultation will provide you with insight as to what a treatment plan may look like. Furthermore, expectations to care will be discussed, and if it is a good fit, the next step is to perform a full consultation and examination followed by your personalized care plan.

  • Health Performance is an all encompassing practice that will treat both the spine and extremities.

  • Yes, HSA and FSA can be used.

  • BFR is an innovative rehab/training method that involves applying a tourniquet band to the upper arm or upper thigh regions to occlude venous return. Restricting the blood flow to the arms or legs allows you to achieve the same benefits of high load strength/hypertrophy training, but with low loads. This is a safe treatment method that is well supported with many high quality studies. BFR is excellent for preventing muscle atrophy, rehabbing injuries, exercising with osteoarthritis, and improving strength/hypertrophy.

  • Being evidence-based includes having positive ethics and values, being patient centered, spending enough time with patients, and staying up to date on current evidence and practice standards. Furthermore, there are many false claims made by chiropractors and the treatments we provide. An evidence-based chiropractor will not create false narratives, but rather make claims based on the quality research available. Additionally, evidence-based chiropractors offer a variety of treatment options and don’t just limit themselves to adjustments.
