Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take insurance?
We are proud to serve our community as a wellness based cash practice. Working independent of insurance companies allows us the freedom to provide individualized care; care that isn’t dictated by your insurance provider. Cultivating care that is tailored to you and/or your family’s specific needs is the highest priority for us. However, we do accept most HSA and FSA payments.
What does care look like after my Day 2 visit??
It is our goal to offer the most well-rounded, nervous system specific, individualized care. At The House of Chiropractic we take time to dive deep into your history, your current health presentation, and your nervous system scans to create an individualized care plan for you/your child. There are 2 main factors involved in releasing nervous system tension and fulfilling your health potential: time + repetition. Our care plans address both of these factors by giving us a roadmap that meets your specific nervous system needs, which ultimately helps the nervous system to re-wire in a more functional and efficient way, creating long-lasting positive, healthy neuroplastic change.
What happens after my care plan is over?
After you/your child's care plan is over and things are back on line, the stress patterns are gone, the scans have cleared up and the nervous system is functioning at its highest capacity, our focus is to keep it there. We don't want the big peaks and valleys, the ups and downs or the stress of life to invite those stress patterns to come creep back in, so we offer wellness care to make sure that you/your child's nervous system stays functioning at its highest capacity. Alot of the big shifts, the nervous system re-wiring, the systemic re-learning about how to function without compensatory patterns is done in the first few stages of the care plan, and wellness care keeps the momentum going to ensure that you/your child live with the most full expression of health. Here we aren't in the business of going backwards, of playing it small: we hold the highest vision for each and every person who comes in our door and wellness care, after our nervous system is ready for it, is the path to keeping our system functioning at its highest capacity.
Why would my child need to see a chiropractor?
During the first few years of life your child is molding a foundation that will be build upon for the rest of their life. At 2 years old your child’s nervous system will be 90% developed, creating neurological connections that shape who they will become. This is the most crucial point in their life. It is our goal to support your children's development by helping to cultivate a healthy start to their life as they grow in and experience the world around them.
My baby has a tongue tie/lip tie. Can chiropractic help?
A tongue tie is like an iceberg. There is ice above the water that you can visibly see, but the majority of it is underwater, and you can't tell exactly how big/wide it is. Similarly, the tongue tie the structure that we can objectively see in the mouth, but it actually has direct, deeper connections & tethers to the rest of the midline fascial system, extending down through the airway, lungs, diaphragm, pelvis, all the way into the toes. So with the understanding that a tongue tie is not just a tongue issue, it is a global midline issue, we take a full body approach to help release the entire midline to bring more space, freedom, and ease into your baby's body. the mouth is a representation of the midline, and vise versa: a restricted mouth means a restricted midline, and conversely a free midline equates to a free mouth!
Global midline work is essentail in the unwinding that has to take place for your baby to begin to thrive and properly develop in the world in and around them. Simply getting a laser/scissor tie release without the global release is generally not the answer: if the source of the tethering is not addressed then there is always potential for re-growth.
