Whether you’re new to chiropractic care or just new to our office, here’s everything you need to know before your appointment.
We ask that new patients call our office directly to schedule their first visit. This lets us gather the necessary information and answer any initial questions. Be sure to bring your insurance card and photo ID to your first appointment.
If you’ve visited us before, you can call the office or use our reminder number to request your next appointment — whichever is most convenient for you.
At Sovar Chiropractic, we prioritize transparency in our billing process. We verify your insurance and collect any copays, coinsurance, or deductibles at the time of service to ensure a smooth experience.
We offer self-pay options for those without insurance coverage.
We’ll assist you in understanding your benefits and coverage, and collect copay, deductible, and coinsurance at the time of service.
After calling to schedule, you’ll receive a text reminder the day before and the day of your appointment.
If you need to cancel your appointment, we ask that you give us 24-hour notice so we can assist other patients who may need to be seen.
Like conventional medicine, chiropractic is based upon scientific principles of diagnosis through testing and empirical observation, and on the practitioner’s rigorous training and clinical experience. Unlike conventional medicine, which focuses on treating disease once it occurs, chiropractic attempts to improve the health of the individual in an effort to avoid illness in the first place.
The chiropractic approach to healthcare is holistic, meaning it addresses your overall health. It recognizes that many lifestyle factors such as exercise, diet, rest, and environment impact your health. For this reason, chiropractors recommend changes in lifestyle, eating, exercise, and sleeping habits in addition to chiropractic care.
Chiropractic is more than simply a means of relieving pain. Ultimately, the goal of chiropractic treatment is to restore the body to its natural state of optimal health. Since the body has a remarkable ability to heal itself and maintain its own health, the primary focus is simply to remove those things which interfere with the body’s normal healing ability.
Chiropractors understand that one of the main causes of pain is the restriction and abnormal motion of the vertebrae in the spinal column, called segmental dysfunction. Chiropractic works by removing this dysfunction in the spine, thereby relieving pressure and irritation on the nerves, restoring joint mobility, and returning the body to a state of normal function.
Our doctors design a custom treatment program to help seniors maintain health, increase mobility, and reduce chronic pain. Many patients find pain relief through chiropractic adjustments, which can reduce reliance on pain medications and their side effects. Our doctors also advise on nutrition, exercise, and ergonomics, all of which aid in fall prevention.
It’s best to begin chiropractic care before you decide to become pregnant, giving our doctors the opportunity to assess your needs and get your pregnancy started on the right foot. We’ll work with you on important aspects of your lifestyle — including proper nutrition and exercise — to help you stay as healthy and comfortable as possible during your pregnancy and delivery.
Children, just like adults, can benefit from regular chiropractic care. Injuries from everyday life and sports can cause symptoms such as soreness, discomfort, stiffness, or neck pain. Our doctors understand that younger patients can have more anxiety about chiropractic care, so they cater treatments to be gentle and comfortable.
Chiropractic care has aided professional athletes and weekend warriors alike for decades. One of its biggest benefits is injury prevention — making sure your spine is aligned and identifying weaknesses in muscles and joints. When injuries do occur, care assists recovery by reducing pain and severity, and ongoing care has been shown to increase range of motion and enhance overall athletic performance.
