## The Awesome Technique

The Awesome Technique is the practice's partnership philosophy: there isn't one way to adjust everyone, but there is a right way to adjust every person. Doctors are trained in the full range of adjusting methods — non-force, Activator instrument, hands-on, and traditional manual adjustments with audible release — and choose with the patient based on body, story, and preference. For babies and pregnant moms: fingertip pressure only.

## Common Questions

**Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?** Yes. Webster-Technique-trained doctors use extremely gentle, light-force techniques with no cracking. Safe through all trimesters.

**Is chiropractic safe for babies and newborns?** Yes. Fingertip pressure only — about what you'd use to test a ripe tomato. Babies as young as one day old can be safely adjusted.

**Is chiropractic safe for seniors?** Yes. Low-force methods like the Activator instrument or non-force techniques. Improves mobility and quality of life.

**Will the adjustment hurt?** No. Patients choose the technique that fits them — from ultra-gentle non-force adjustments many patients fall asleep during, to traditional manual adjustments with the satisfying release.

**What does the $49 Health Pass include?** Comprehensive consultation, digital posture assessment, detailed examination, and first gentle adjustment. A $150 value. Available at all three locations.

**Do you take insurance?** Not in-network. We accept credit cards, HSA/FSA, cash, and Bitcoin, and provide itemized superbills for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Membership plans starting at $57/month are often less than typical co-pays.

**Same-day appointments?** Same-week availability is typical at all three locations. Walk-ins welcome.
