Services Offered
Our comprehensive services address weight loss from multiple angles to maximize your success. Chiropractic care forms the foundation of our approach, correcting spinal misalignments that can interfere with nervous system function and metabolism. Regular adjustments help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and restore proper nerve communication throughout the body. Our acupuncture treatments target specific points that regulate appetite, reduce cravings, and boost metabolic function according to Traditional Chinese Medicine principles. Weight loss counseling includes personalized meal planning, supplement recommendations, and lifestyle modifications tailored to your specific needs and preferences. We also offer nutritional testing to identify food sensitivities and deficiencies that may be hindering your progress. Group fitness classes and one-on-one exercise coaching help patients develop sustainable movement habits. Our integrated approach means that as you lose weight, we're also improving your overall health, reducing pain, and increasing energy levels through natural, drug-free methods.

What to Expect
Your journey begins with a comprehensive health assessment including physical examination, posture analysis, and detailed health history review. We perform orthopedic and neurological testing to identify any structural issues that might be contributing to weight gain or preventing successful weight loss. Acupuncture evaluation includes pulse and tongue diagnosis according to Traditional Chinese Medicine principles.
Treatment typically begins with twice-weekly visits that include both chiropractic adjustments and acupuncture sessions. You'll receive a customized nutrition plan and supplement recommendations based on your individual needs. As your body begins to function more efficiently, we gradually reduce visit frequency while monitoring your progress. Most patients see improvements in energy levels and pain reduction within the first few weeks, with significant weight loss occurring over 3-4 months.

Our success rate is enhanced by the fact that patients often experience immediate improvements in energy, sleep quality, and pain levels, which motivates continued participation and long-term success.
Insurance & Pricing
We accept most major insurance plans for chiropractic services, and many plans also cover acupuncture treatments. Our weight loss programs are typically not covered by insurance but are priced competitively with other medical weight loss clinics. Initial comprehensive consultations are $150, with individual treatment sessions ranging from $65-95 depending on services provided. Package deals for combined treatments offer significant savings, and we accept HSA and FSA payments. Payment plans are available for comprehensive programs, and we offer cash discounts for patients without insurance coverage.
First-Time Patient Tips
Come to your first appointment wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for physical examination and movement. Avoid eating large meals within two hours of acupuncture treatments, and limit caffeine intake on treatment days. Bring a complete list of current medications, supplements, and any recent imaging or lab work from other healthcare providers.
Success with our integrated approach requires consistency with appointments and following through with home care recommendations including exercises, dietary guidelines, and supplement protocols. Most patients benefit from keeping a food diary and pain/energy journal to track improvements. We encourage open communication about any concerns or side effects, and our team is available for questions between appointments via phone or email.
