“I frequently get high praises from patients I have not met who have been under care at one of the offices. I have been practicing many years and I have learned how important a great team is.”
CHIROPRACTIC DOCTOR
Chiropractic doctors are licensed and hold advanced degrees in the area of physical health care. A minimum of six years of college study is required to become a doctor of chiropractic. Additional training is required for certification in specialized fields such as sports injuries, nutrition, orthopedics, neurology and pediatrics. The doctor is tested by the national board and individual state licensing requirements. The doctor’s title or credential is D. C. behind their name. This stands for Doctor of Chiropractic.
PHYSICAL THERAPIST
Physical therapists are required to pass a licensure exam before they can practice, after graduating from an accredited physical therapist educational program with a masters or a doctorate. Physical therapists in our clinics have an emphasis in orthopedics.
CHIROPRACTIC ASSISTANT
Chiropractic Assistants or C.A.s come from a variety of backgrounds. There are clerical and clinical C.A.s. They are trained by the doctor and have x-ray certification as necessary.
INSURANCE SPECIALISTS
Chiropractic assistants can specialize in insurance. Our goal is to bill accurately and efficiently to minimize the patient’s cost.
