Clear Expectations and Transparency of Cost

Do you know the biggest concern for most who receive healthcare today?

I’ll give you a few hints:


Its not HOW LONG will I wait to see the doctor?
Its not will I ACTUALLY see MY DOCTOR?
And its not even WHAT IS WRONG with me?

Its HOW MUCH will it cost and to add to that will my INSURANCE COVER anything I need.

One of the leading reasons for bankruptcy in the US is unexpected medical bills.
I’ll tell you my story of my trip to the ER in 2020.

One night, I was playing video games with my wife and I was laying in a terrible position on my stomach. We played for a few hours and then got ready for bed.

Then, it started….

I felt chest pain. Fearful of course with a family history of cardiovascular disease, I called 911 and went by hospital to the ER by ambulance.

After a “standard chest pain work-up”, which to spare you the suspense revealed nothing and it was simply musculoskeletal (thankfully), I was met by the admin who took my insurance card.

She told me the second worst news I could have received that night. My insurance that I purchased was not actually insurance and therefore, my entire visit and ambulance ride would be out of pocket…

My first question was, “Well then what’s the damage gonna be?”

And to that, I received the response that changed my viewpoint of healthcare forever.

She replied, “You’ll get a nice bill from us in a few weeks.”

Long story short the bill for everything was over $7000. And that was pre-inflation madness and can only imagine what it would cost in 2023 dollars.

I took care of it over the course of a few months and from then on out decided to NEVER let my practice give that type of answer to ANY PATIENT EVER.

Transparency of price, transparency of services, and expectation management are all areas that I strive to provide in my practice.

That’s why your first visit is FREE, to make sure I can help you so its no risk to you. The only thing you lose is the time you come in for your discovery visit.

Which ironically, most patients who go through a plan of care with my office almost always say, “the most valuable” visit was the free discovery visit.

That visit gave them and it will give you the clarity you need and rarely receive and the big clinic. Here your not just another number, nor are you one of six other people that get seen in one hour.

YOU are the primary focus during your entire treatment plan.

Why Does My Back Keep Hurting? Fixing the Root Cause for Good Back pain is one of the most common problems people deal with. You might feel better after stretching, resting, or getting an adjustment, but then the pain comes back again. Why does this happen? Many treatments focus on short-term relief instead of fixing the real reason for the pain. At Back in Action Chiropractic, we take the time to find the root cause so you don’t have to deal with the same problem over and over again. What Causes Back Pain? Back pain isn’t just about your back. It often happens because something else in your body isn’t working the way it should. Here are some of the most common reasons people have back pain: - Weak Core Muscles – Your core supports your spine. If it’s not strong enough, your lower back has to work harder, which can lead to pain. - Poor Movement Habits – The way you walk, sit, or even pick things up can put extra stress on your back. - Tight Hips or Upper Back – If your hips or upper back don’t move well, your lower back has to do extra work, which can cause discomfort. - Old Injuries – Ankle, knee, or hip injuries can change how you move, putting strain on your back over time. A Different Approach to Treatment At Back in Action Chiropractic, we don’t just look at where it hurts—we figure out **why** it hurts. Instead of quick fixes, we create a plan that actually solves the problem. Here’s what makes our approach different: - We take the time to figure out the real cause of your pain .
