What To Expect
During your initial visit, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive assessment by gathering a detailed case history and performing a thorough examination focused on your specific complaint. This examination encompasses various components, including dynamic movement screens, joint assessment, muscle length assessment, range of motion tests, orthopedic tests, and neurological exams. Through these tests, the doctor will identify potential factors contributing to your condition and discuss their findings with you. This initial visit is about 45 minutes, with standard follow up visits being about 20 minutes.
Based on the examination results, a personalized plan of care will be established. We take pride in not adhering to industry norms but instead invest ample time in thoroughly assessing and understanding your complaint. Our typical treatment plans range from 6-10 visits depending on the severity of your condition. Our goal is to help you get out of pain fast and teach you to move better.
Do you take my insurance?
KC Spine and Sport is currently in network with Aetna, however most of our patients choose to utilize our competitive cash rates.
In general your insurance coverage will vary based on your plan and your insurance carrier. We will verify your benefits and go over them with you so you can better understand how your insurance coverage works.

What To Wear?
Due to the functional nature of the examination and therapies we utilize, patients are encouraged to wear loose fitting or athletic apparel that allows skin contact in the area of your primary complaint.
At KC Spine and Sport, we recognize that medications and surgeries are available options; however, we always recommend exhausting conservative, non-invasive measures before considering more invasive therapies. Chiropractic care has proven to be a cost-effective healthcare specialty for managing musculoskeletal pain.
If you do not respond to our conservative care approach after several visits, we have the ability to refer you to other medical professionals who can provide further assistance and expertise.
