  • Our first experience with chiropractic care for babies ! Our little 2 month old was fussy and went fast asleep during her gentle treatment. Her spine test was noninvasive and thorough. The staff were pleasant and personable. Dr. Tanners office is inviting and calming. We are blessed to have a local place to bring our babe and watch her progress.

Questions before your first chiropractic visit

Showing all 11 questions

First visit

What does the $49 new patient visit include?

A consultation, an exam, X-rays and a report of findings. Dr. Tanner explains what he found and what he recommends. Call (903) 405-3300 or request a visit online to book it.

How long is a visit?

Your first visit runs longer because it includes the consultation, exam and X-rays. Regular visits are much shorter.

How many visits will I need?

It depends on your goals, how long the problem has been there and how your body responds. Dr. Tanner recommends a plan from your exam findings, not a one-size-fits-all package.

Insurance and cost

Does insurance cover chiropractic?

Many insurance plans cover chiropractic care, but coverage varies by policy. The front desk can review your benefits and explain what your plan does and does not include.

What does the first visit cost?

New patients pay $49 for the first visit, which covers the consultation, exam, X-rays and report of findings.

Kids and pregnancy

Do you see babies and kids?

Yes. Care is sized to the child. Dr. Tanner is a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, and parents in our reviews bring babies as young as 2 months.

Can I see a chiropractor while pregnant?

Yes. Dr. Tanner is Webster certified. Webster is a chiropractic technique for pregnancy that focuses on the pelvis and sacrum. Care is matched to your stage of pregnancy.

Adjustments

Do adjustments hurt?

Most of the time, no. Many patients feel relief right away. A very inflamed area can feel mildly sore, but adjustments are quick, and we explain each step as we go.

What is the cracking sound?

It is gas released from the joint, like cracking your knuckles. Sometimes an adjustment makes a sound and sometimes it does not. The sound is not what makes it work.

Is chiropractic care safe?

Chiropractic care is widely considered safe when a trained, licensed chiropractor gives it. Dr. Tanner learns your history and goals before he recommends any care. Some patients feel mild soreness early on, which usually passes.

Can I adjust myself?

No. Twisting until something pops usually moves the parts that already move too much. A chiropractic adjustment is aimed at the joint that is stuck.

Still unsure? Call (903) 405-3300, or read about the Webster technique from the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association.
