The Cost

We recognize that cost is a concern when it comes to your choice of chiropractic care. Our staff is most knowledgeable, and is here to discuss your particular situation.

Please understand that although not every chiropractic treatment technique has gone so far as to develop and publish its algorithm of decision-making - its "standard of care" - a specific algorithm of decision-making is published regarding application of Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression, our featured|highlighted]10] chiropractic technique of choice. This accepted and published protocol calls for 3 to 6 visits per week as acceptable for care of a complicated radicular pain patient (one who has severe pain extending down the leg or arm) and 2 to 3 visits per week for an uncomplicated  non-radicular patient (one whose pain is contained only in the back or neck).

If your chiropractic insurance coverage includes Chiropractic spinal manipulation, it will pay for Cox Decompression Adjusting. The same applies for coverage of ancillary care items (like spinal rehabilitation exercises, electrical stimulation, nutrition and light therapy). Check with your insurance plan or ask our staff to help you find out.

Realize that insurance coverage does not dictate what is necessary to manage your spinal pain - leg pain, arm pain, neck pain or low back pain. You and the staff at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center must decide what chiropractic care is appropriate to relieve your condition and manage the pain. If your insurance says it will only pay for 12 visits and your spinal condition demands that you be seen daily or a couple times a week until your pain is relieved, you will have to decide what is best for your health.

Know that we are most willing to work with you and your insurance/financial situation to the advantage of your health and pain-free quality of life. Just ask.
