Chiropractic Care

There have been many changes over recent years regarding health insurance coverage for medical and chiropractic services. Chiropractic care is one of the most popular alternative therapies and is covered by many insurance carriers.

It originates from a Greek word that means 'done by hand'. Chiropractic treatment is an example of alternative therapy for those who suffer from back, neck and shoulder pain.

What is the Chiropractic therapy philosophy?

Originating as far back as the 1890's, it is based on a healing art that involves manipulation and adjustment of the spine. The practitioner uses either hands or an adjusting tool to perform specific manipulations of the vertebrae.

Regardless of its popularity it is still not considered a traditional medical service by some insurance carriers, so it is important to check with your provider.

Chiropractic expenses can also be covered through many discount health plans and discount dental plans. With some of these plans the patient is given a discount and then pays the remaining balance.
