Here are answers to some common questions. 

Learn a little more about Advanced Biostructural Correction and Dr. E. through a little Q&A by business coach, Dennis Riley.

  • I tried chiropractic before and it didn't work. Why should I try this?

    Please see “How is ABC different from other types of chiropractic care?”

  • I tried chiropractic before and I felt better for a few days but then the aches and pains came back. How will this be different?

    Please see “How is ABC different from other types of chiropractic care?”

  • How long will treatment take? I’ve heard some people continue to see the chiropractor for many years.

    Length of treatment depends mainly on two factors: 

    1. how healthy the biomechanics of your body are  
    2. how healthy you want the biomechanics of your body to be. 

    The majority of patients feel significant relief within the first 2-3 visits. However, it takes 4-6 weeks to resolve and stabilize the average episode of back pain. After that, you’ll be feeling and moving better than you have in years. However, your body will be far from mechanically perfect. It can take several years to “unwind” through all the damage the body has accumulated. Typically, people who are overall younger, healthy, and mobile tend to need less care. People who have been in pain for a longer period of time and have a history of car accidents or other injuries require more work.


    The third most important factor in how much care you will need is YOU! Doing your absolute best to comply with sleeping, sitting, and standing instructions, getting adequate sleep, exercise, and a healthy diet are very important to the healing process. Protect the investment you’ve made in your health and take good care of yourself!

  • I’m a bit nervous about having my joints “cracked”. Is your method of adjusting gentle?

    A good adjustment is 95% set up and 5% force. What does that mean? The most important part of an adjustment is getting the patient and the doctor in the right position. From there, it takes very little force to effectively move the bones and make the correction needed. Sometimes a little extra force is needed, but for the most part, all adjustments are very gentle.


    Also, Dr. Elizabeth views trust, safety, and comfort as foundational components of good patient care. If you don’t feel comfortable at any point in the adjustment, please let the doctor know.

  • Do you accept insurance?

    Structural Wellness is a fee at time-of-service practice.  Health insurance is not accepted.  Patients with out-of-network provider coverage or a Flexible Health Savings Account may be eligible for reimbursement by their health insurance carrier.  The office will provide a superbill and necessary documentation upon request to anyone who wishes to submit a claim to the insurance carrier. If your insurane coverage includes out of network chiropractic care you may be reimbursed. You can check with your insurance provider for more information regarding your personal plan.

  • I have a busy schedule but need to be seen. How long are your appointments?

    The first appointment consists of an thorough history, exam, report of findings, treatment, and ergonomic consult. It is approximatley 100 min long. This is the longest appointment you will have. The second appointment will be approximatley 40 minutes. All appointments following the first and second visit will be scheduled for 20 minutes. 

  • What is the cost per visit?

    The cost of the first appointment is $215. All appointments following the first visit will cost a base fee of $65.  We offer care package options for convenience and saving.

  • I want to come in but it's been a while, what should I expect?

    We totally understand that life can get busy and time goes by quickly but don't forget that your structural health is important! We want you to know that you are always welcome to come back and we will always be enthusiastic to help you stand taller and function pain free! However, if it's been a while since your last appointment, you may be wondering what to expect on your first visit back.

    If your last visit was within the past 6 months, you'll be scheduled for a standard 20 minute appointment costing $65.

    If you last appointment was more than 6 months ago but less than 1 year, you'll be scheduled for a 40 minute appointment at $65. This gives Dr. E a little extra time to learn about any health changes and do a brief examination if needed.

    If it's been over a year since you've been seen, your appointment will be scheduled for 40-60 minutes to allow for a re-exam, update of health history, and a review of ABC and ergonomics. There will be a one time charge for the re-exam of $60 in addition to the usual visit charge of $65. 

    *note: Appointment times and fees are based on what to expect for the average patient. We reserve the right to adjust times and fees based on patient specific needs.*
