Mobile Chiropractic Myth Busting: House Call Chiropractic Can Work For You

Let’s face it - we’re busier than ever. Between work, family, friends, organizations, meetings, sports, hobbies, and whatever else you do, it can be hard to find the time to take care of yourself.

This is where mobile and house-call chiropractic care can work for you!

Mobile or house call chiropractic care is growing in popularity around the country, but it’s not the usual way to see a chiropractor. Today, we’re answering some questions and busting some myths to show you that house call chiropractic visits might be the answer to your nagging problem.

Myth - House Call Chiropractic Visits would be way too expensive for me.

Fact - Our visits cost about the same amount as a standard chiropractic office visit. We have no hidden fees or upcharges, and you’ll know what your visit will cost before we see you. We strive to keep our care affordable and accessible for everyone - because getting the healthcare you deserve shouldn’t have to bankrupt you.

Myth - House Call Chiropractic Visits take too long.

Fact - Our follow-up visits can be done in 20 minutes or less. A new patient appointment can take up to 50 minutes, but once you’re done with that, your next visits can be squeezed into any busy schedule. We respect your time, and that’s exactly why we come to you. You don’t have to drive across town anymore, you literally just need to find a 20-minute gap in your schedule, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Myth - If I see a chiropractor, I’ll have to keep going back forever.

Fact - You can stop seeing a chiropractor whenever you want. Most patients will see significant progress within 6-12 visits, particularly if they choose to follow the exercise, lifestyle, and nutrition recommendations we make to help you improve in conjunction with our care. We consistently reevaluate you and your progress to see if we need to consider other directions or if you just need some more time to heal. After that, it’s up to you if you continue with periodic performance/wellness adjustments, or if you just call us when you need us.

We use current, evidence-informed guidelines and information to guide us when we create your treatment plan, and the research simply doesn’t support seeing a patient 3 times a week, every week, forever - so we don’t do that. How often we see you and what your visits look like are entirely dictated by you and your goals.

Myth - House Call Chiropractic Visits aren’t as good as a chiropractic visit at a clinic.

Fact - There’s no difference between getting adjusted at home and in a clinic. We bring all the tools we need to provide the same great quality of care you get at a brick-and-mortar clinic. In fact, some research suggests that being more comfortable in your environment can help you heal faster and benefit more from your visits. Unless you’re more comfortable in a clinic, chiropractic care at home can very well be just as effective as care in a clinic.

Myth - My house has to be absolutely spotless before I can get a mobile chiropractic visit.

Fact - You live in your house, and we totally get that. We never judge your home or how clean it is (or isn’t), because our homes aren’t always perfect either. As long as we have an open space to work, you can schedule a mobile chiropractic visit.

Myth - House call chiropractic care is only for people who are unable to leave their homes.

Fact - While mobile chiropractic care can be especially helpful for those who have trouble getting out of the house, it’s also a convenient option for people with busy schedules or who want the convenience of receiving care in their own home or office. Whether you’re a stay-at-home parent, a busy professional, an older adult, or something else, our mobile care can work for you.

Myth - House call chiropractors can only provide basic care.

Fact - We can provide a wide range of chiropractic services (including spinal adjustments, soft tissue mobilization, and rehabilitation exercises), all from the comfort of your home or office. We can also offer advice on lifestyle changes, nutrition, and exercise to help you feel better and get back to doing what you love, pain-free.
