New Patients at Optimal Align Chiropractic
Your Two-Part Assessment Process
At Optimal Align Chiropractic, your journey begins with our comprehensive two-appointment assessment process designed to thoroughly understand your unique condition. Your first visit lasts approximately 45 minutes and includes time with both our rehabilitation team and Dr. Bruce Hilligan. We’ll capture detailed posture measurements, take necessary images, conduct a thorough consultation, perform a physical examination with orthopedic testing, and may recommend X-rays to visualize your spine’s current condition.
Your Report of Findings
Following your initial assessment, we schedule your second appointment—ideally the next day—for your detailed “Report of Findings.” During this crucial visit, Dr. Hilligan will explain what we’ve discovered about your spine’s condition in clear, understandable terms. You’ll learn if and how we can help, receive specific recommendations for your treatment plan, and understand the associated costs and timeframes. This transparent approach ensures you have all the information needed to make confident decisions about your care. If you choose to proceed, your first corrective treatment begins during this same appointment.
Creating Hope and Confidence
Our thorough assessment process consistently receives positive mentions in patient reviews, as it builds genuine confidence in our approach. We combine postural scans, X-ray analysis when necessary, and physical examinations to develop a science-based, research-backed plan tailored to your specific needs. This comprehensive approach fills patients with hope by showing that we truly understand their condition and have effective tools to address it. We strive to create both excitement about potential improvements and understanding of the importance of addressing structural issues for long-term health.
Insurance and Payment Options
Most insurance plans are accepted at Optimal Align Chiropractic. Coverage can vary widely between policies, so we encourage you to contact our office to verify your specific benefits. Our knowledgeable staff will happily explain your chiropractic coverage at no charge before you begin treatment. We work with several major providers including AXA-PPP, Aviva, Cigna, Vitality, and WPA for private health insurance. Please note that all fees are required to be paid upfront, and we’ll provide an invoice for you to be reimbursed directly from your insurance company.
Options for Those Without Insurance
If you have little or no chiropractic insurance coverage, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. We offer flexible payment programs to ensure you can still receive the quality care you need. Many of our patients pay directly for care as they discover chiropractic treatment to be extremely cost-effective and affordable compared to other medical options.
