During the initial visit Dr. Alenov addresses the 6 INTERFERENCES TO WELLNESS using a combination of chiropractic, kinesiologic and instrument analysis. The initial exam typically includes a chiropractic structural exam; food and chemical sensitivity screening; organ stress screening; nutritional testing & recommendations; and cellular and body mass analysis.

What if I am healthy?
If you are, that’s great! We want you to stay that way. Our clinic is based on preventive care so you avoid developing future problems. It’s amazing how many healthy people come in and leave with a greater knowledge and understanding of their health: what food/chemical/environmental sensitivities that may drain their systems in the course of a day; how to best avoid developing symptoms or diseases in your family history; what stretches or exercises will be best for your body and lifestyle; and which, if any, supplements would optimize your energy, youthfulness and well-being.

My doctor says that I am fine but I just don’t feel healthy. What can I do?
Functional illness is that grey area between optimal health and disease. Many people have some signs and symptoms of functional illness such as: fatigue, headaches, indigestion, back pain, allergies, and dozens of other complaints which interfere with their quality of life. These signs and symptoms aren’t really addressed by mainstream medicine which usually deals with disease. If your medical doctor has ruled out the presence of a disease causing your symptoms, then you are left with a functional problem which may not have a name.

How long is the initial appointment?
We typically schedule new patients for a two-hour visit and follow up appointments in twenty minute increments. You and the doctor will discuss your individual program and visit time lengths.

Why do you use vitamins, supplements, and herbs in your practice?
For most people, their health is very dependent on the food they eat and the nutrition they derive from that food. Unfortunately, as our soil becomes more and more depleted; environmental toxins attack our food supply; and genetic “solutions” mess with the original makeup of our food; we receive very little intended nutrients.

Supplement recommendation vary from person to person. Some people need ongoing maintenance or supportive supplements to help their cells function at optimum levels; while others may only need temporary supplementation while their body is healing.

What if I am scared of an adjustment?
Dr. Alenov utilizes many different methods to alleviate structural problems. In fact, he uses several low force adjusting techniques which do not require forceful adjustments of the spine. Please be honest with us when it comes to your fears and expectations from our clinic and we will do everything we can to make you feel comfortable.

What type of insurance do you accept?
Because we provide “health care” not “disease care” we are unable to accept insurance. Traditional health insurance covers the treatment of a specific disease and only reimburses for that treatment if it falls in their narrow guidelines. As we explained above, most people with a complaint do not have a disease, but a functional health problem. You should not expect your insurance company to pay for this because it was not designed to do so.

Unlike the cost of treating a disease with western medicine, alternative care is very affordable and affective. Most people find that by staying healthy with alternative treatments they are able to avoid the expense and side affects of western care.

As an additional service we do provide all of our patients with reimbursement forms to provide to their insurance company. Some insurance companies will reimburse you for the chiropractic portion of your treatment. We accept cash, checks and all major credit cards.
