Exercises and movement
A few simple exercises, seated or standing with the support of a chair, that the doctor teaches in the office and that you can repeat at home at your own pace.
The exercises go along with the care; they do not replace what your doctor tells you.
What the visit includes
We choose two or three exercises together, not a long list
We show them and you practice with us
We give them to you in writing, in large print
You can stop whenever something bothers you
Good to know
How long and how often
The exercises are reviewed at each visit. The doctor changes or drops them when you need it; there is no set number.
What we do not promise
We do not promise results or that any symptom will go away. Every person responds differently.
When to see a doctor first
If you had a recent fall, a fever, or a new and severe pain, see your doctor first. The chiropractor may also ask you to.
How it is paid
Medicare covers only manual adjustment of the spine. Other services depend on your plan. We tell you the cost before we start.

Does Medicare cover it?
No. Medicare covers only manual adjustment of the spine. We tell you the cost first.
