What to Expect

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation that includes both chiropractic and nutritional assessments. We'll review your medical history, current symptoms, and weight loss goals to create a personalized treatment plan. During your first visit, we'll perform spinal examinations, postural analysis, and body composition measurements to establish your baseline. We typically recommend starting with 2-3 visits per week for the first month, combining chiropractic adjustments with nutritional coaching sessions.

As you progress, we'll adjust your treatment frequency and modify your nutrition plan based on your results. Most patients see initial improvements in pain levels and energy within the first few weeks, with steady weight loss following. We provide ongoing support through regular weigh-ins, progress photos, and treatment plan modifications to ensure you're always moving toward your goals.

Why Choose Schotzko Chiropractic

What sets us apart is our unique integration of chiropractic care with weight management, addressing both pain relief and weight loss simultaneously. Unlike standalone weight loss centers, we understand how spinal health affects your overall wellness and ability to exercise effectively. Our personalized approach means you're never following a cookie-cutter program - everything is tailored to your specific health needs and lifestyle. We maintain small patient loads to ensure you receive adequate attention and support throughout your journey.

Our success rates speak for themselves, with most patients experiencing significant pain reduction and steady weight loss within the first three months. We also offer flexible scheduling, including some evening and weekend appointments to accommodate working professionals. Our comprehensive approach often reduces the need to see multiple specialists, saving you time and money while providing coordinated care under one roof.

Insurance & Pricing

Most major insurance plans cover our chiropractic services, and we're happy to verify your benefits and file claims on your behalf. Weight management services are typically not covered by insurance, but we offer competitive package pricing and payment plans to make care affordable. Our weight loss program packages start at $299 per month and include all nutritional counseling, body composition analysis, and supplement recommendations. We also offer family discounts for multiple members pursuing weight loss goals together. Cash-pay discounts are available for patients without insurance coverage, and we accept HSA and FSA payments for all services.

First-Time Patient Tips

Success with our program requires commitment to both your appointment schedule and the lifestyle changes we recommend. We suggest clearing your schedule for the first few weeks to focus on establishing new habits and attending regular appointments. It's important to track your food intake honestly and follow through with recommended supplements and exercises between visits. Many patients find it helpful to prepare meals in advance and remove trigger foods from their homes during the initial phase.

We encourage patients to communicate openly about challenges they're facing, whether physical, emotional, or logistical. Our team is here to help you problem-solve obstacles rather than judge your struggles. Most successful patients also involve family members in their journey for additional support and accountability.

Most patients notice reduced pain and increased energy within 2-3 weeks. Steady weight loss typically begins in the first month, with most people losing 1-3 pounds per week depending on their starting point and goals.

Do you provide meal plans or just general nutrition advice?

We create detailed, personalized meal plans based on your health conditions, food preferences, and lifestyle. These aren't generic plans but are specifically designed for your individual needs and goals.
