6. How Much Does It Cost?
The amount you will actually pay for treatment will vary greatly depending upon your insurance plan. Since we are in-network with most PPO plans, most patients only have to pay a small co-pay of $0-$15 per visit. HSA and flex plans also typically provide reimbursement of our charges. If you are uninsured or have a high deductible, then you may need to expect to pay directly for some of your treatment. The cost of a new patient examination (see "Your First Visit" is around $100.00. The cost of a typical office visit including an adjustment is around $50.00. Other procedures, like the ones described above, may also be used depending on your specific problem. This means that the cost of a typical office visit will vary and would be discussed in detail after your examination has been performed.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MICRO-BREAKS & ERGONOMICS : Over time, the human body has adapted very well to the task of hunting for and gathering food. It performs and feels its best when it is in motion during the day, and resting at night. Sitting all day, on the other hand, puts an enormous strain on the sspine and its supporting tendons, ligaments, muscles, and fascia. If you are sitting at a desk and/or computer for more than 1 hour on a regular basis, then you are what we call an “industrial athlete”. For you, proper micro-breaks and ergonomics (discussed in a separate blog) are essential to prevent neck pain, back pain, and headaches, as well as to allow your body to get the best results from your chiropractic care.

Ideally, micro-breaks should be performed before you start to feel stiff or sore at your worksite. For most people, this means taking a 20-30 second micro-break every 20-30 minutes of prolonged sitting. Of course, longer breaks of 1-5 minutes should also be taken every 2-3 hours, or as needed. Any of the exercises that Drs. Ezgur or DiDomenico prescribe for you can be used as a micro-break. One of the most effective micro-break exercises is Brugger’s Relief Position, as taught in our offices.
