Life West Chiropractic College Health Center - FAQ's

Q: What can chiropractic care do for me?
A: Help you achieve and maintain good health, naturally.
Chiropractic is based on two facts: That (1) the nervous system controls all body functions, and that (2) the bony spine, although designed to protect the delicate nervous tissue within, can become displaced and put abnormal pressure on the nerves; this interferes with nerve communications throughout the body. The displaced vertebra is called a SUBLUXATION.

Q: Why should I choose the Life West Health Center?
A: Senior interns, guided by licensed doctors of chiropractic, provide a range of care that is both thorough and cost-effective. Your intern will take an in-depth patient history and perform a complete chiropractic physical examination. You and your intern will then discuss your exam results and develop a program of care individualized to your needs.

Q: How much will it cost?
A: We are committed to offering affordable services.  Many insurance companies reimburse for chiropractic care. We also accept third-party pay, worker's compensation and personal injury claims. Our initial exam is only $65 and an adjustment/office visit is $25.  A complete list of services and prices is made available at the first appointment.

Q: How do I make an appointment?
A: Call the Health Center or walk in during our normal hours of operation. An intern is always available and will be assigned to your care under the supervision of one of our licensed Faculty Doctors. If you have been referred to the clinic, you may ask for the intern of your choice, who will then contact you to set up a convenient time for your first visit.  Please refer to the new patient procedures for more details.

Q: Can chiropractic help others in my family?
A: People of all ages, from children to seniors, benefit from chiropractic care. Everyday childhood activities - contact sports or routine falls - can result in a misalignment of spinal bones, and early care can prevent future problems. As for the senior set, many of our older patients have remarked that adjustments make a tremendous difference in how they move and feel.
