Frequently Asked Questions
General FAQs
-
We currently are enrolled and able to bill Medicare and we are in the process of getting in network with several local insurance providers. Although we can’t directly bill your insurance at this time, we can provide a “super bill,” a document with all the services rendered, that you can send to your insurance carrier for reimbursement.

Your time is valuable to us! Your first appointment will take about 45–60 minutes to allow time for x-rays, insight scans, consultation, review of all the information, and most importantly your first adjustment! Regular adjustment visits are shorter — around 15–20 minutes — depending on your personalized Care Plan and any therapies you receive.
-
Your first visit is all about understanding and getting to know you. We’ll begin with a detailed consultation and advanced assessment, including X-rays to assess your skeletal system (ruling out any red flags that might need further attention), a detailed patient history, and an INSiGHT CLA scan. From there, we’ll review your results together and craft a Care Plan that’s customized to your unique needs and goals. And very lastly, you’ll receive your first of many life changing adjustments!
Assessment FAQs
-
Using three key spinal-neural tests — Heart Rate Variability (HRV), Surface EMG (SEMG), and Rolling Thermal — the scan measures how your nervous system responds to physical, chemical, and emotional stressors. With the help of gentle and non-invasive sensors along the spine, detecting areas of stress, tension, or imbalance in the muscles and nerve roots. This helps us track your progress over time and tailor your chiropractic care to what your nervous system needs most.

At Backstreet, we take a series of spinal X-rays on all adult patients as part of our new patient assessment—excluding, of course, our pregnant moms. X-rays help us clearly visualize and understand your skeletal structure, posture patterns, and any pre-existing or underlying conditions that may influence your care plan. By having this detailed insight from the start, we’re able to provide the most accurate, individualized, and effective care for your unique system.
Adjustment FAQs
-
So you got your first adjustment. Yay! But now what? After a specific and intentional adjustment, you can expect a couple of things to happen. 1) You’ll feel better. Whether your symptoms improve or you’re just feeling better overall, this is the best case scenario and something we see often! 2) You have the best sleep of your life. An adjustment makes enormous change in your nervous system, allowing it to feel safe to adapt and heal. So quality sleep is a great indicator that your adjustment is doing its job because when your body is resting, it’s healing.

Because we believe that less does more, we utilize a variety of gentle chiropractic techniques throughout your care so your body receives the right adjustment at the right time. Through a tonal analysis, we assess where and how nervous system interference is showing up in your body and tailor care specifically to those needs. We are trained in multiple techniques—including Diversified, Gonstead, Thompson, Upper Cervical, SOT, and Torque Release—allowing us to choose the most appropriate and effective approach for you.

Sometimes, but it’s not our main goal! All our adjustments are incredibly gentle, specific, and intentional. Our mission is to help your body better adapt to life’s stressors through precise nervous system analysis that focuses on tone first. While we are hands-on with our care, most adjustments are delivered with gentle instruments like the Integrator or a drop table—making our approach ideal for infants, seniors, anyone with preexisting conditions, or just someone looking for chiropractic that’s a little different. You can expect care that’s effective, comfortable, and tailored to your body’s unique needs, minimizing any twisting, cracking, or popping.
