At Spine Wellness Cincinnati, we’re passionate about helping you live at your peak potential. We see people with all types of insurance plans and can bill your insurance directly. We will be processed as an out-of-network provider. Many people have coverage for the services we provide. It depends on your plan’s out-of-network benefits. We suggest giving your insurance a quick call to explore your coverage for our holistic care, like chiropractic, acupuncture, and functional medicine. We can accept HSA and FSA cards if you have them. We don’t like surprises and strive to be as transparent about out of pocket costs. We’re here to support your journey to wellness every step of the way!
Everyone heals at their own rate and healing takes time. While many people start seeing results withing 1-2 visits, correcting spinal alignment and posture problems takes more time. We typically see people 2-3 times per week until the pain is more manageable.
When there’s a longstanding problem, it usually takes more time to recover. If it’s an acute injury, you may heal faster. Our team of talented doctors will discuss your healing journey and options very thoroughly once we understand your specific condition.
Our goal is to help you live in a peak state of health for life. While routine maintenance is recommended, we also want you to be able to manage your health on your own. Our team of doctors will discuss your specific goals and needs to custom design a plan that works for you. We hope to build lasting relationships to keep you feeling and looking your best!
