Lifeline Chiropractic Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing a chiropractor is a big decision, and it’s normal to have questions. Below are some of the things we’re asked most often at Lifeline Chiropractic. If you’re wondering about something that’s not answered here, just ask. We’re always happy to talk.
Do you take insurance?
Yes. We accept most major insurance plans and are in-network with several carriers, including Medicare. If you’re unsure what’s covered, we’ll review your benefits and explain everything clearly before care begins. We also offer flexible in-house payment options and accept HSA/FSA, credit, debit, and cash.
Can I bring my kids?
Absolutely. We care for a lot of pregnant moms, so we’re very used to toddlers in the office. We’ve got toys and a kid-friendly vibe, and you’re always welcome to bring your children along to your appointment.
Will I get adjusted on my first visit?
In most cases, no. That’s because we take our time to get things right. Your first visit is all about the exam, consultation, and (if needed) X-rays. On your second visit, we’ll walk you through everything we found and present a custom care plan. If you’re experiencing acute pain, we may be able to provide some relief during your first visit, but that’s the exception, not the rule.
Once I start, do I have to come forever?
Not at all. As Dr. Cooper says, “You can stay and come as long as you like.” Some people come for short-term relief, others choose ongoing care because they feel and function better with it. It all depends on what kind of life you want to live and how you want to maintain it.
Do I need a referral?
Nope. You can schedule directly; no referral required.
Does chiropractic care benefit my baby during pregnancy?
Yes, it can! When your nervous system is more balanced, your baby feels that too. Gentle prenatal adjustments help reduce tension and support a calmer, healthier pregnancy for both of you.
How often will I need to come in during pregnancy?
Most moms-to-be come in twice a week to start or weekly, but we’ll personalize your schedule. As your due date approaches and relaxin levels rise, we may see you more frequently to help your body stay aligned.
Do you have tables that work for pregnancy?
We do! Our pregnancy-safe tables include special belly cutouts, so you can lie facedown comfortably and safely during your adjustment.
Can chiropractic help my child?
If their issue is related to nervous system stress or misalignment, yes. The only way to know for sure is to bring them in for a gentle evaluation.
What if my child is nervous?
We take our time and meet them where they’re at—often right on the floor. Toys, friendly faces, and even a turtle tank help kids feel at home fast.
What should I expect after my child’s first adjustment?
Many little ones sleep better, poop quickly, or want to nurse right away. We give you privacy and never rush you—this is your time.
Does it hurt?
Not at all. Adjustments for babies and kids are extremely gentle—often using just the pressure you’d use to check the ripeness of a peach. Most little ones stay relaxed during care, and many even smile or nap through it!
