What to Expect

1. Initial Intake Process: Intake call and Discovery Session

When you first contact our practice, we will have a 15-minute intake phone call with Dr. Abbate. During this call, we will gather basic information about your condition, answer any questions you may have, and determine whether our practice is a good fit for your needs.

Then we will schedule a free discovery session. During this session, you will have the opportunity to ask any and all additional questions you have about treatment, assessment, and your proposed plan of care. We will also perform a brief assessment based on the Selective Functional Movement Assessment system. This assessment will help us identify any movement dysfunctions that may be contributing to your condition and enable us to develop a customized and detailed treatment plan that addresses the root cause of your complaint. From there we can discuss plans of care and how to best move forward with your customized treatment approach.

2. Follow Up Appointments are 1 hour!?

At our practice, we believe that taking longer appointments is more beneficial in getting to the root cause of your complaint. While 20–30-minute appointments may seem like they would be sufficient, we have found that longer appointments allow us to provide more comprehensive and effective care.

One of the main benefits of longer appointments is that they enable us to take a more holistic approach to treatment. By spending more time with you, we can gain a deeper understanding of your unique situation visit by visit and develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs and goals. This may involve a combination of chiropractic adjustments, exercises, soft tissue techniques, and other modalities that are designed to promote healing, restore function, and prevent future injuries.

Another benefit of longer appointments is that they enable us to provide more one-on-one attention and care. This enables us to assess your progress, adjust your treatment plan as needed, and provide ongoing support and guidance throughout your rehabilitation journey more accurately to help your transform and reach your health goals.

3. Wellness Visits

After completion of your plan of care we will discuss the possibility of continuing care on a supportive/maintenance basis. Most patients that we treat will continue care because this allows them to accomplish other greater goals that they have for their health. Wellness visits are really no different from a regular 1-hour treatment session in the types of treatments performed but exercise prescriptions may be more advanced due to the absence of painful complaints being treated. This is your time, and we can discuss anything that you would like from treatment, training, health, nutrition, diet, exercise, and all subjects in between.

Client Reviews

Dr Frank takes the time to get to know you and all your issues. Very through and professional in his assessment. I’ve been going to chiropractors for 27 years and he really goes above and beyond compared to the dozen or so I’ve seen in my lifetime. If you’re looking for more than an in an out adjustment… to get to the route of your issues, give Dr Frank Abate a call!

I've been seeing Dr Frank for the past few months for help with soreness and discomfort in my neck and back. I have Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) which affects the collagen in the body and leads to extra stretchy tendons and ligaments... Which leads to lots of muscle tension and tightness, along with subluxations of various body parts, tendons popping into the wrong places, injuries that never really heal, and a lot of back pain.

I've been dealing with this since 2010 and Dr. Frank's knowledge of the body, integration of rehab exercises, and advice have been invaluable to me. He does a lot more than adjustments during the visits, including soft tissue work, stretching, functional movement assessment, etc. Because he spends a lot more time with me than a lot of other patients, I pay a little more, but his prices are very reasonable and so worth it. We're making steady progress and he's always there to support me when I need it.
Dr. Frank is really easy to work with and he treats patients like equals, never talking down to me or making me feel uncomfortable. The office is pretty easy to find, and it's inside the Get Fit NH office space next to their gym. I would recommend Dr Frank to anyone, but especially to hEDS/EDS patients who need the extra time and care so that they can start to overcome years of muscle tension and injuries.

I highly recommend Back In Action Chiropractic for anyone dealing with injuries or chronic pain. Dr. Frank has helped me so much with issues with my neck and lower back that I thought I just had to live with - but for the most part, I am pain free now! He does a very thorough assessment, does soft tissue work and adjustments, and really gets to know his patients to provide the highest level of care. It’s always a good experience going to see Dr. Frank - he’s a great chiropractor and an awesome person too!

Frank is awesome! I would highly recommend to anyone. As an athlete, he got me back into my sport within two weeks with just a couple visits and some at home stretching. As a first timer, he was very good at explaining what was going on and what we were doing. Very smart, cleanly, and kind, thank you Frank!

Frank is outstanding! Extremely patient, great listener, remarkably intuitive, understanding, kind and most of all effective. Every exercise he gave me had value, every motion was a step forward and every visit was time well spent. Very highly recommended!!!

Frank is knowledgeable, professional, clean & makes his patients feel comfortable. He has extensive knowledge of different stretches and movements that can be done at home to relieve pain and has not only helped me with neck/back issues, but I also my father, whom I referred over to Frank for Siatic nerve pain issues, and it's completely improved his ailments as well.

Highly recommend Abbate Chiropractic!
