Frequently Asked Questions

This gives you the opportunity to experience our care without a major financial commitment upfront.

For ongoing visits, the cost depends on the type of treatment recommended in your personalized care plan. We accept most major insurance plans, which can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. Our team will verify your coverage and explain your benefits before treatment begins so there are no surprises.

We also work with auto accident and workers’ compensation cases, where treatment is often covered at no cost to you. For patients paying out of pocket, we offer affordable payment options to make care accessible. Call us at (385) 314-4552 to ask about pricing for your specific situation, or book your $49 new patient visit at [Book Free Consultation](/book-appointment).

Yes, Alpine Spinal Rehab accepts most major insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, SelectHealth, and many others. We also work with auto accident insurance (PIP/Med-Pay) and workers’ compensation carriers.

Our front desk team will verify your insurance benefits before your first visit so you know exactly what is covered and what your expected co-pay or coinsurance will be. We handle the claims and billing process directly with your insurance company to keep things simple for you.

If you do not have insurance or your plan does not cover chiropractic care, we offer affordable self-pay rates and our $49 new patient special to get you started.

Your first visit to Alpine Spinal Rehab typically takes about 45 to 60 minutes. You will start by completing a brief health history form, which you can also fill out ahead of time if we send it to you. Then you will sit down one-on-one with the doctor to discuss your symptoms, health goals, and any concerns you may have.

Next, the doctor will perform a thorough examination that may include posture analysis, range of motion testing, orthopedic tests, and neurological screening. If X-rays are needed to get a clear picture of your spine, we can take those in-office. Based on the findings, the doctor will explain your condition in terms you can understand and recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

In most cases, you will receive your first adjustment on the same day. Many patients feel noticeable relief after just one visit. We want you to leave with a clear understanding of what is causing your pain and exactly how we plan to help. Ready to get started?

Chiropractic care is widely recognized as one of the safest, drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for treating musculoskeletal conditions. Research consistently shows that chiropractic adjustments carry far fewer risks than common alternatives like prescription pain medications or surgery. Serious complications are extremely rare.

At Alpine Spinal Rehab, your safety is our top priority. Before any treatment begins, the doctor performs a comprehensive examination to identify any conditions that may require modification to your care plan. We use a variety of adjustment techniques, from traditional manual adjustments to gentler instrument-assisted methods, so we can tailor the approach to your comfort level and health needs.

Our doctors are licensed and extensively trained, completing years of post-graduate education focused on the spine, nervous system, and biomechanics. If you have questions about whether chiropractic care is appropriate for your specific condition, we are happy to discuss it with you. Call (385) 314-4552 or schedule a consultation at [Book Free Consultation](/book-appointment).

The number of visits you need depends on several factors, including your specific condition, how long you have had it, your age, overall health, and your personal goals. Some patients with minor issues feel significant improvement in just a few visits, while more complex or chronic conditions may require a longer course of care.

During your first visit at Alpine Spinal Rehab, the doctor will perform a thorough examination and then outline a recommended treatment plan with a clear timeline. We believe in being upfront about expectations so you can make informed decisions about your care. We also track your progress at regular intervals and adjust the plan as you improve.

Many of our patients start with more frequent visits during the initial corrective phase and then transition to less frequent maintenance visits to keep their spine healthy long-term. The goal is always to get you feeling better as quickly as possible and then help you stay that way. Schedule your evaluation at [Book Free Consultation](/book-appointment) or call (385) 314-4552 to discuss your situation.

Absolutely. Chiropractic care is one of the most effective treatments for auto accident injuries, especially whiplash, neck pain, back pain, and soft tissue injuries. These injuries often do not show up on standard X-rays or MRIs, which is why many accident victims are told they are fine at the emergency room but continue to experience pain days or weeks later.

At Alpine Spinal Rehab, we specialize in diagnosing and treating car accident injuries. The doctor will perform a detailed examination to identify hidden injuries, document your condition for insurance and legal purposes, and create a treatment plan focused on full recovery. Early treatment is critical because untreated accident injuries can lead to chronic pain, scar tissue formation, and long-term mobility problems.

We work directly with auto insurance (PIP and Med-Pay coverage), which means your treatment is often covered at no out-of-pocket cost to you. We also coordinate with attorneys if you have a personal injury case. Do not wait to get checked out after an accident. Call (385) 314-4552 right away or book an appointment at [Book Free Consultation](/book-appointment).

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment that gently stretches the spine using a specialized motorized table. By creating negative pressure within the spinal discs, decompression therapy helps herniated or bulging disc material retract, reduces pressure on pinched nerves, and promotes the flow of oxygen, water, and nutrients into the disc to support healing.

This therapy is particularly effective for conditions like herniated discs, bulging discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis. Many patients who have been told they need surgery find significant relief through decompression therapy and are able to avoid an invasive procedure altogether. Treatment sessions typically last 15 to 30 minutes, and most patients find the experience comfortable and relaxing.

At Alpine Spinal Rehab, we combine spinal decompression with chiropractic adjustments and rehabilitative exercises for the best possible outcomes. If you are dealing with disc-related pain or sciatica, call us at (385) 314-4552 to find out if spinal decompression is right for you, or schedule an evaluation at [Book Free Consultation](/book-appointment).

Med X spinal rehabilitation is an evidence-based strengthening program that uses specialized medical-grade equipment to isolate and strengthen the deep muscles of the spine. Unlike conventional exercise equipment, Med X machines stabilize the pelvis and isolate the lumbar or cervical spine so you are targeting the exact muscles that support your spinal column. This is something standard gym exercises simply cannot achieve.

The program is based on decades of university research and is designed for patients with chronic back pain, neck pain, disc injuries, post-surgical recovery, and spinal instability. Each session is supervised and progressively adjusted as your strength improves. Most patients complete the program in 12 to 24 sessions and experience lasting relief because they have built a stronger foundation of spinal support.

Alpine Spinal Rehab is one of the few clinics in the Provo area equipped with Med X technology. We integrate it with chiropractic care and spinal decompression for a comprehensive approach to spinal rehabilitation. To find out if Med X rehab is right for your condition, call (385) 314-4552 or book a consultation at [Book Free Consultation](/book-appointment).

Yes, chiropractic care is safe and beneficial for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Children’s spines undergo significant stress from birth, learning to walk, carrying heavy backpacks, sports activities, and the countless falls that are a normal part of growing up. These physical stresses can cause spinal misalignments that may contribute to issues like poor posture, headaches, ear infections, colic, and difficulty sleeping.

Pediatric chiropractic adjustments are very different from adult adjustments. The techniques used on children are extremely gentle, often using no more pressure than you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato. The doctor will modify the approach based on your child’s age, size, and specific needs. Many parents report improvements in their child’s sleep, behavior, immune function, and overall well-being after starting chiropractic care.

At Alpine Spinal Rehab, we welcome families and enjoy helping kids grow up with healthy spines. If you are curious about whether chiropractic care could help your child, call us at (385) 314-4552 to ask questions or schedule a pediatric evaluation at [Book Free Consultation](/book-appointment).

Chiropractic care during pregnancy is not only safe but highly recommended by many OB-GYNs and midwives. As your body changes throughout pregnancy, the added weight, shifting center of gravity, and hormonal ligament loosening can cause significant lower back pain, hip pain, and pelvic discomfort. Chiropractic adjustments help keep the spine and pelvis properly aligned, which can reduce pain and make pregnancy more comfortable.

Proper pelvic alignment is especially important in the later stages of pregnancy. Research shows that chiropractic care during pregnancy can help establish optimal fetal positioning, potentially leading to shorter and less complicated labor and delivery. At Alpine Spinal Rehab, the doctor uses pregnancy-safe techniques and specialized cushioning that allows you to lie comfortably face-down even with a growing belly.

Many of our pregnant patients report less back pain, better sleep, and an easier delivery experience. Whether you are in your first trimester or your third, chiropractic care can help you feel your best throughout your pregnancy. Call (385) 314-4552 to learn more or schedule your visit at [Book Free Consultation](/book-appointment).
