Free Discovery Call
To get started, we have every new patient go through a free Discovery Call with one of our team members. The purpose of this call is to gather basic information about your health problems and goals.
Practice Member Evaluation
The Practice Member Evaluation (PME) is an hour-long conversation with one of our providers to go over your case. You will have a chance to give more information about your concerns and we will outline the methods we use in our practice that would be suited to improving your health situation.
Finalize Next Steps
At the end of your PME, you will collaborate with the provider to decide on best next steps for your care. This may be a full program or a step-wise approach to investigating specific issues.

Provider Visits
During your program you will have periodic check-ins with the provider. These serve as mile-markers to assess progress and make any necessary changes to your program. These occur every few weeks to every few months, depending on your program.
Coaching
For some, we include more frequent follow up with coaches. This is designed for those who need greater accountability or a more complex set of issues that need closer tracking. We also utilize coaches to help implement lifestyle changes.
Treatments
Hands-on treatment from our team, whether a chiropractic adjustment, acupuncture, or other manual therapies, will assist in improving your body's overall health and wellbeing. This may be done frequent or not at all during a program.
Therapies
Many people benefit from the inclusion of our cutting-edge therapies during their program. These therapies are designed to speed up your healing or provide support for your metabolism in ways that aren't possible through diet, supplements and lifestyle.
