Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thervo.
How much does a chiropractor cost?
A chiropractor costs $30 to $100 per session on average, depending on the condition and local prices. With insurance, most visits are partially or completely covered. X-rays, MRIs, ultrasounds, or alternative treatments cost extra.
Many chiropractors charge $50 to $200 for the first visit because it includes an examination and consultation on top of a normal adjustment. Patients usually pay after each sessions and are not required to pay for future treatments ahead of time.
What does a chiropractor do?
A chiropractor helps treat and prevent musculoskeletal pain and soreness. Commonly treated conditions include:
Spinal injury
Joint pain
Sciatica
Pinched nerves
Headaches and migraines
TMJ
Do chiropractors take insurance?
Most chiropractic offices accept insurance plans, at least partially. Some insurance plans may put limits on the dollar amount or number of chiropractic visits they cover. Before making an appointment or booking a consultation, confirm that the chiropractor accepts your insurance.
Are chiropractors doctors?
Chiropractors earn a doctorate degree and go to medical school, though the classes they are required to take are slightly different than those a medical doctor (MD) might take. Most chiropractors do not or cannot write prescriptions like physicians.
Are chiropractors safe?
Chiropractic care is safe when performed by a licensed, trained chiropractor. Even small children can see a chiropractor because there are minimal risks compared to traditional medicine or surgery. Though complications are rare, injury can occur if you have serious health problems or do not disclose the extent of your injuries to the chiropractor.
Consider alternative treatment or consult with your chiropractor before getting an adjustment if you have:
A herniated disk
Advanced osteoporosis
Bone abnormalities in your neck or spine
Cancer in your neck or spine

Jeff is the BEST of THE BEST! He is polite, professional, follows safety protocols, always accommodating, and is extremely knowledgeable and experienced on how our bodies work. He will not disappoint.
The amazing experiences each visit with a calm atmosphere, along with his attention to body work while giving clinical / therapeutic massages was a relaxing, yet an excellent treat for self care!
I admire how he was able to promote healing with techniques and tools on previous injuries of mine and help restore my strength.
I would highly recommend Jeff to others.
