I have seen Chiropractors in the past but I had to keep going back, it didn’t help, or the relief did not last. Why should I give your practice a try?

Typically when people think of going to see a Chiropractor, they envision getting their spine “cracked” or “manipulated,” but that’s pretty much it. They think the “adjustment” is the main purpose for the whole appointment. That’s because most Chiropractic offices are set up so that once you check in with reception, you go into a treatment room to have a heating pad or e-stim applied for a few minutes, sometimes by an assistant, before the doctor comes in to adjust you. At some offices, appointments are even shorter—you might be in a room with several other people and the doctor will go down the line adjusting everyone. You might spend 10-15 minutes there, and be asked to return up to 3x/week for months receiving practically the same exact treatment.

Does this sound familiar? If you have had treatments like these you wouldn’t be alone: the majority of our patients who make their way to see us have described these scenarios as their only other experience with a Chiropractor.

You might feel better for a few hours after treatment but the truth is, by only adjusting the joints, this type of treatment does not address the underlying muscular issues that are actually what cause joint restrictions and pain in the first place. After all, the joints are a “passive” system, meaning they do not move on their own. It’s the muscles that control the movement of your joints in the first place. So if you have been told that your spine is “out of alignment,” the real culprit is typically dysfunctional muscles causing joint restriction.

THIS is where his philosophy of care and treatment style deviates from the norm...

Travis knows that painful conditions are rarely isolated in the joints, which is why he always looks at the bigger picture by:

• Connecting what muscles are involved (just because you feel pain somewhere does not mean it’s from that spot—sometimes it is “referred pain” from up or down the kinetic chain).

• Recognizing when (and what) muscle(s) requires stretching, strengthening, or stabilizing to improve the patient’s condition.

• Treating the involved muscle dysfunctions with therapies such as Active Release Technique, Soft Tissue Mobilization (including Instrument Assisted like “Graston”), and PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) stretches—basically, a fancy way of pre-fatiguing the muscle to get a better stretch reflex.

• Assessing problematic movement patterns and educating patients on corrective exercises to restore mobility and reduce pain.
  

  Do you take insurance?

Dr. Travis Dyer is out-of-network, meaning he does not accept insurance. He understands this can be an inconvenience for some, but here are a few reasons why he chooses to operate independently:

• By not taking insurance, we are are able to provide higher-quality, truly personalized, and patient-centered care. He works for our patients, not insurance.

• Being out-of-network allows him to offer the range of services and in-depth care he provides without being limited to only what insurance would cover.

• He can keep costs lower for you by not needing to hire a third-party to take on the administrative work required to file claims.

If you have insurance that covers chiropractic services, he is happy to provide you with receipts that you can submit for reimbursement. Many patients also choose to apply their receipts towards their deductible. More than half of our patients accept these receipts because they appreciate getting quicker results, lasting relief, and an elevated patient care experience when working with us.

Thank you in advance for understanding.
