Frequently Asked Questions:

Can you help me?

This is the by far most common question I’m asked… Everyone wants to know if chiropractic care can help whatever ailment or condition they’re suffering from. The best answer I can give you is this… Chiropractic has helped millions of people and a variety of conditions – possibly the very condition you’re asking about… however, it’s not a silver bullet. The honest truth is some people can be helped, but others cannot. There are different factors involved depending on how long the problem has been around, your current age, and the lifestyle you live.

The first step is to have an examination. The purpose of an exam is to find out what’s gone wrong, and what can be done to fix it. And because we follow the ‘Golden Rule’ in this practice, I only accept patients whom I feel will genuinely benefit from my care. So I’ll tell you this much… If after your exam I find that chiropractic isn’t going to help, I’ll tell you right then and there. We won’t waste your time or mine. And I’ll go one step further. If after your exam you don’t feel that you came to the right place, you don’t owe me a dime.

I want you to be 100% confident that you’ve made the right decision in choosing our office. If I can help you, fantastic! If I can’t, you’ve lost nothing except an hour of your time.

Where are you located?

We’re proud to be the premier Upper Cervical chiropractic office in the Webster Groves area. Our clinic, voted “Best of Webster Groves” in 2008, is located at the intersection of Laclede Station and Watson Road in Yorkshire Plaza. Our street address is 8057 Watson Road. We’re easily accessible from highways 40, 44, 270 and 141.

Does it hurt? Is there any twisting, pulling, cracking, or popping involved?

We’re confident that our adjustments are comfortable and painless. In fact, I offer a ‘Pain-Free Guarantee’. If your adjustment unexpectedly hurts, there will be no charge for that office visit. I adjust people of all ages, from newborns to senior citizens, and I’m consistently told how gentle, easy, and “underwhelming” the adjustments are… So, if you’re the type of people (like me) who doesn’t like to have their neck twisted, pulled, popped or cracked, you’ve found the right office, because our procedure does not involve any of that, guaranteed.

Do you accept my insurance?

Insurance plans are ridiculously complicated these days. This funny video parodies today’s health insurance companies. The reality is, it depends on a variety of factors within your policy, group, and type of plan. Even two people with the same exact type of policy might not be covered the same way. So the only way to answer that question is to call the insurance company and find out exactly what percentage of your care is reimbursable, which we will happily do for you after your first visit. Rest assured though, we will do everything we can to make sure you receive your maximum allowable benefits. If you don’t have insurance, that’s okay too! We offer affordable payment options that appeal to virtually every budget.

I’ve been to a chiropractor before, and it didn’t help. How is Upper Cervical Care going to be any different?

We’ve cared for chiropractors as patients, family members of chiropractors, and patients who’ve received other forms of chiropractic care in the past. They’ll openly tell you that Upper Cervical Care is completely different from what they received from other “full spine” chiropractors. The truth is, some patients can respond much better to one form of care than another. And just like you wouldn’t disregard all Medical Doctors if one of them wasn't able to help you, we encourage you not to assume all chiropractors can’t help you either.
