Welcome to Action Chiropractic
What To Expect On Your First Visit
Our Action Chiropractic team want you to feel welcome. We hope knowing what you can expect from your first (and second) visit at Action Chiropractic will alleviate stress or a sense of overwhelm you might feel if trying chiropractic for the first time. Below is a brief overview for our new chiropractic patients.Â
New Patient Paperwork
On arrival, you will be greeted and given your paperwork to fill out. It's important that you thoroughly complete the health history section, including any previous injuries or trauma. Please also bring your current insurance card, if you would like us to bill insurance for your care.Â
10-15 minutesHealth AssessmentÂ
After paperwork is complete, one of our friendly staff members will assess any areas of complaint that may be causing you pain, tightness, or impeding normal every day function. You will be asked to do a range of motion test, consisting of a series of simple movements, to help our team further identify areas of concern. Pain does not always present itself at the root cause so this step is important in helping Dr. Shaun determine the true source of your health problems.Â
15-20 minutesConsultation & Spinal Evaluation
Dr. Shaun will meet with you for a one-on-one consultation to review your health history, current areas of concern, and health goals. He will then assess your spine's structural and functional health by checking for any spinal dysfunction. Motion and static palpation are used to check for proper spinal alignment and to determine areas of subluxation that may be causing or exacerbating health problems. Orthopedic tests may also be performed. Â
15-20 minutesChiropractic X-Rays
Based on your consultation and spinal evaluation with Dr. Shaun, x-rays of one to three spinal regions may be performed. X-rays take the guess work out of your chiropractic care and give Dr. Shaun a clear image of your spinal health. Our office conveniently offers on-site digital x-rays that are safe, professional, and cost-effective. Â
15-20 minutesFirst Adjustment
Dr. Shaun will review your x-rays and take into account your health assessment to determine how best to proceed with your care. Your first specific chiropractic adjustment is, typically, then given the same day. We want to take care of you and your nervous system from day one!
ÂReport of Findings
On your second visit to Action Chiropractic, after your adjustment, Dr. Shaun will go over in detail your x-rays and health assessment findings. You will review your specific health goals together. Dr. Shaun will give you an individualized plan and adjustment schedule to follow in order to meet your goals. Our friendly front office staff will then help you schedule your future adjustments.Â
15-20 minutesPath to Wellness

FAQ
We specialize in prenatal, pediatric and family care. Dr. Shaun understands the unique needs of children, expectant mothers, and the elderly, allowing him to tailor your care to your unique situation. His techniques are non-invasive, safe and gentle for all ages. Our experienced, caring team also takes a holistic approach to health. We aim to treat the whole body, not just symptoms. All aspects of your health are taken into account so that we can better help you achieve optimal health and wellness.
At Action Chiropractic, we believe the nervous system is the master control center of your body. It coordinates every function--from how you move and heal, to how you think, feel, and perform. When the spine is misaligned (subluxated), it can interfere with this vital communication, leading to pain, fatigue, reduced mobility, or even seemingly unrelated issues like headaches, poor sleep, or low energy. Specific chiropractic adjustments are used to realign your spine and restore function and nervous system communication with your body.
Yes, in fact, some parents bring their children in to receive chiropractic care soon after birth. Regular adjustments support a child's growth, development, and overall wellness. Dr. Shaun has received specialized training in order to safely and effectively care for even our youngest patients. He has extensive experience working with infants and children, including his own, and offers a gentle, personalized approach to their pediatric chiropractic care.
Prenatal chiropractic care alleviates pregnancy discomfort, promotes a healthier pregnancy, and contributes to an overall better birth experience. Dr. Shaun works on spine alignment, muscles, joints and ligaments with expectant mothers to alleviate pain and strengthen the pelvic region. Proper pelvic alignment allows the baby to move into the best position for birth and aids in a shorter, smoother labor. Dr. Shaun is Webster Technique certified. This is a specialized prenatal technique that is designed specifically for expectant mothers to avoid abdominal pressure during an adjustment. It is safe and effective.
Yes. Action Chiropractic offers massage therapy sessions with our experienced, licensed massage therapists. Please call for availability. Action Chiropractic also offers a complementary heat therapy and/or decompression (spinal stretch) session before each adjustment. A spinalator table, that gives a massage-like motion to reduce tension and prepare the body for an adjustment, is available in the waiting area for chiropractic patient use as well. Please request at the front desk if you would like to use any of these services before your chiropractic adjustment. There is no additional charge for heat therapy, decompression, or use of the spinalator table.
First visits to Action Chiropractic usually take about an hour for adults and teenagers. Routine wellness adjustments are usually about 15 minutes after the initial appointment.
Yes. Action Chiropractic accepts many major insurance plans. However, please verify coverage as some plans require referrals or have limits on the number of visits. Coverage can vary significantly between plans and individuals so we may not know how much care a particular insurance plan will cover until after we hear back from the insurance provider. Please be prepared to cover the cost of your care until we can verify insurance coverage, in the case your insurance does not cover the expected amount.
Not to worry, our cash price is very affordable! Initial chiropractic appointments are usually $45-$155, depending on how many chiropractic x-rays Dr. Shaun determines necessary. Subsequent chiropractic visits are only $45. If further x-rays are needed in future, our office currently charges $55 per region.
