Question 1

Is chiropractic safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Chiropractic is one of the safest forms of healthcare available, with serious adverse events being extremely rare when adjustments are performed by a licensed chiropractor.

Question 2

Does chiropractic hurt?

Accepted Answer

Most adjustments shouldn't. Some patients feel mild soreness the next day, similar to after a workout, especially in the first few weeks of care.

Question 3

Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor in Florida?

Accepted Answer

No. Florida allows direct access to chiropractors. You can book directly with us — no physician referral required.

Question 4

How long is the first visit?

Accepted Answer

Plan on 60–75 minutes for your first appointment. That covers consultation, a full chiropractic and orthopedic exam, X-rays if clinically indicated, and your first adjustment.

Question 5

Do you take walk-ins?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, but appointments are strongly preferred so we can give you the full hour. Call (813) 999-4007 first — most days we can fit you in the same week.

Question 6

What should I wear to my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing you can move in. We can provide gowns if needed for postural exam or imaging.

Question 7

Do you take my insurance?

Accepted Answer

We work with many major insurance plans, plus PIP (personal-injury protection), workers' compensation, and Medicare. Coverage varies by plan, deductible, authorization, medical necessity, and service. We verify available benefits, but your insurer makes the final coverage decision.

Question 8

What if I don't have insurance?

Accepted Answer

We offer transparent self-pay options including the $150 New Patient Exam (consultation, exam, and first adjustment) and clear, à-la-carte follow-up pricing. No surprise bills.

Question 9

Do I have to commit to long-term care?

Accepted Answer

No. We tell you up front what we recommend and why, but the choice is always yours. Many patients come in for a specific issue, fix it, and graduate to monthly maintenance only.
