Low back pain and leg symptoms can come from irritated joints, tight or weak muscles, disc issues, arthritis, or compression/irritation of the nerves that travel into the hip and leg. The purpose of your exam and any needed imaging is to narrow down which of these is most likely driving your pain so we can target care appropriately.

Our Restoration Protocol for the low back is considered a safe, drug‑free, non‑surgical option for many people when performed by a trained, licensed doctor of chiropractic. We always review your history, exam findings, and any red flags first. If we don’t think this type of care is right for you, we’ll tell you and recommend other options.

No. The first visit is about understanding what’s going on, helping you feel heard, and giving you clear options. If we think we can help, we’ll outline a plan and answer your questions. You decide how you want to move forward; there are no surprise charges or high‑pressure “today only” packages.

We do not bill insurance directly. We operate as a direct‑pay office so we can focus on what’s best for you, not what an insurance company will approve. This lets us create treatment plans based on your needs instead of visit limits or checkboxes. Many patients use HSA/FSA cards or submit our receipts to their insurance for possible reimbursement, and we’re happy to provide an itemized statement if you’d like to do that.
