What is adhesion?

Adhesion is one of the most common, most misdiagnosed, and most mistreated conditions in the human body.  Adhesion is a substance that acts like glue on your muscles that makes them less flexible, weaker, and eventually causes pain.  If you have had pain for months or years and have tried multiple doctors, chiropractors, and other therapies — adhesion is very likely a part of the problem.  

The good news is that it can be fixed with expert treatment!  Below is an example of treatment in our office. Call today for a free consultation!

What are my payment options?

We accept cash, check, major credit cards, FSA (Flexible Savings Account), and HSA (Health Savings Account) payments.

What is the cost of treatment?

All new patients must go through a free consultation before starting care. Our treatment is highly specialized and we want to make sure your case is the right fit for our office to avoid wasting time and money on care that isn’t right for you.

Our new patient comprehensive exam is $150. The comprehensive exam includes a complete functional assessment, physical examination, review of medical records, diagnosis, and explanation of your diagnosis to you. The first visit is to gain a complete understanding of your problem and knowing what we can do to help. No treatment is performed during the exam.

If you are a candidate for care, treatment will begin on the following visit. Follow-up visits are $75. The average number of follow-up visits is 12 to 16, always depending on the examination and complete diagnosis.

How long are follow-up visits?

Follow-up visits are 10-15 minutes. The goal of any treatment is to get you back to functioning as well as possible without pain and limitation. You will be given specific guidance that you are expected to follow if you want the best resolution to your problem. This is an active team approach — not a passive approach.

How do I know whether or not your doctors will be able to help?

If you have any muscle, joint, or nerve problems then you are a likely candidate. This is what we do best. Also, if other treatments have failed or you haven’t reached your maximum level of improvement, then you are also a good candidate.

Our doctors focus on finding and fixing adhesion, which is a difficult problem to find and even more difficult to fix. Our Integrative Diagnosis® trained providers can help with this problem as it is not extensively trained in any doctorate education.

Our type of care is unique, so all potential new patients will need to come in for a comprehensive consultation exam. The consultation takes around 15 minutes and the doctors will thoroughly discuss your case with you to determine if you are a candidate for care.

How long is the initial exam and what does it involve?

The initial visit typically lasts 30-45 minutes and entails an Integrative Diagnosis® exam, neurological testing, review of past imaging/medical history, accurate diagnosis, report of findings, and explanation of your treatment plan.

The doctor will also discuss any other complicating factors that may be present or could potentially become a problem. Please bring any imaging and relevant radiology reports (X-rays, CAT Scans, etc.). No treatment is done on the initial examination.

Are there any other treatments that can achieve the same results?

The short answer is not exactly. There are many manual treatments and instrument treatments that seem similar from the patient perspective, but the proof is in the results.
