Family Chiropractic FAQs
What does a chiropractor do?
A chiropractor evaluates and treats problems with the spine, joints, muscles and nervous system. At Family Chiropractic, Dr. Adam Fasick uses gentle adjustments, the Sigma Instrument, the Activator Method and supportive therapies to relieve pain and restore healthy movement.
Can you tell me what’s wrong, how long care will take and how much it will cost?
Dr. Adam starts with an examination and a conversation about your health history so he can explain what is going on. He is honest that he can’t predict the exact length or cost of care before he knows your situation. Once he understands your condition, he can give you a realistic estimate of how your care will go.
Is chiropractic care safe?
Chiropractic care is a conservative, drug-free approach with a strong safety record when performed by a licensed chiropractor. Dr. Adam reviews your history and, when needed, takes digital X-rays before recommending care, and he chooses techniques that suit your age, comfort level and condition.
Do adjustments hurt?
Most patients find adjustments comfortable. Dr. Adam’s Sigma Instrument and the Activator Method realign the spine without twisting, turning, cracking or popping, so even patients who are nervous about manual adjustments can get the benefits of chiropractic care.
Will I be adjusted on my first visit?
In most cases, yes. Our short-term goal is to get you relief as soon as possible, so care usually begins on your first visit after your consultation and exam. Learn more on our Your First Visit page.
How long does the first visit take?
Please set aside about 30 minutes for your first visit. That gives Dr. Adam time to listen to your concerns, review your history, perform an exam, review any X-rays and begin care.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Our office is paperless, so you only need your driver’s license and insurance card. If you’d like to save time, you can complete our new patient form ahead of time from the Online Forms page.
Do you take X-rays?
We have digital X-ray equipment in our office, so we can take and review images during your visit when they are needed. X-rays are usually taken for new patients or when there is a change in your condition.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. We work with a wide network of major insurance companies, and we’ll copy your insurance card at your visit to help estimate your coverage. Call (517) 376-6836 with questions about your plan, or visit our Payment Options page.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, checks, debit cards and most major credit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express. Payment is expected at the time of service.
Do you offer family plans or help for veterans?
Yes. We offer family plans to make chiropractic care affordable for your whole household. We also proudly care for veterans, including those returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, as a thank you for their service. Contact our office to learn how we can help.
Can children see a chiropractor?
Yes. Dr. Adam cares for patients of all ages, from kids to seniors. Our pediatric chiropractic care is gentle and adapted to a child’s growing spine.
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Yes. Our prenatal and postnatal chiropractic care uses gentle, drug-free techniques to ease the stresses and strains of pregnancy and support comfort for both mom and baby.
What conditions do you treat?
We commonly help with back pain, neck pain, headaches and migraines, sciatica, disc injuries, arthritis, auto injuries, work injuries and sports injuries. See our full Conditions Treated list.
Do you offer spinal decompression?
Yes. We offer non-surgical DRX9000® spinal decompression for certain types of disc-related lower back pain and sciatica. An evaluation helps determine whether you are a good candidate.
Can you help after a car accident or work injury?
Yes. Dr. Adam treats whiplash, back injuries and other problems caused by auto accidents and work injuries. It’s best to be evaluated soon after an injury, even if your symptoms seem mild.
Do you offer services besides adjustments?
Yes. Our office addresses your complete wellness with massage therapy, cold laser therapy, custom orthotics, nutritional consultations, corrective exercises and more. See all of our chiropractic services.
Is chiropractic care a lifelong commitment?
No. Chiropractic care is always your choice. We offer both relief care and wellness care, and how far you take your care is completely up to you.
