During your first visit, we will discuss your health history and any current symptoms or concerns you may have. We will also perform an exam including use of the Insight scan; you can learn more about this awesome technology here. 

Specificity and precision are of the utmost importance in the clinic. Due to that, Dr. Ellie loves to take the time to review the findings from the initial exam to help create a plan prior to getting adjusted. Under extreme circumstances, you may get adjusted at the initial visit. 

The number of visits needed varies depending on the needs of the each individual and the findings from the initial visit. The body learns through repetition so the goal is always to get the body functioning at a higher level from each adjustment.

The primary type of care is gentle, lower force adjusting where you won't hear any of the "typical" popping and cracking. While gentle, still extremely effective as the technique utilizes a drop table. Other techniques include Webster technique (specifically for pregnant mamas), Logan Basic, Activator, SOT and Craniosacral. Depending on the circumstances and presentation, there can be the incorporation of more manual adjusting if desired. 

Often, yes! While the better question is, does your insurance accept us? Generations is an Out-of-Network Provider with most insurance companies (aside from Medicare). This allows us to pass savings onto you and base our recommendations on your needs, not your insurance company’s algorithm. If needed, we can provide a “superbill” that has all the diagnostic codes that your insurance needs to see to reimburse you for the services we provide. This way, the insurance company will send the reimbursement check directly to you. You are always welcome to use HSA dollars as well!
