Services: FAQs

Our FAQs provide valuable information about Atlantic Chiropractic, helping you understand our insurance collaborations, direct billing options, appointment booking process, and what to expect during treatments. They also shed light on combining multiple treatments. We aim to ensure a comfortable and seamless experience for all our patients.

  • Are you Covered by Major Insurance Providers?

    Atlantic Chiropractic collaborates with several major insurance providers, making it more convenient for our patients. We suggest that before scheduling an appointment, clients confirm with their insurance provider about the coverage. In some cases, a certain treatment might be partially or fully covered, while others may not be. Our staff is also prepared to assist in contacting your insurance provider given the necessary policy details and contact information. It's our commitment to make your experience as hassle-free as possible.


  • Do you Offer Direct Billing?

    Yes, at Atlantic Chiropractic, we offer direct billing for our chiropractic and massage therapy services to all major insurance providers. This service is to ensure a smooth and streamlined experience for our patients. However, in the event that we are unable to provide direct billing for your treatment, we recommend coming to your appointment prepared with all the necessary documentation for reimbursement.

  • Do I Need a Doctor's Referral to Book an Appointment?

    A doctor's referral is not necessary to book an appointment with us. As primary health practitioners, our chiropractic doctors are qualified to diagnose and treat conditions related to the musculoskeletal system. However, for massage or acupuncture treatments, your insurance provider may require a doctor's note for reimbursement purposes. We recommend checking with your insurance provider beforehand.

  • Do Chiropractic Adjustments or Acupuncture Treatments Hurt?

    While patients might experience slight discomfort or soreness during or after treatment, these procedures should not cause significant pain. The minor discomfort felt is often due to the application of light to moderate pressure on tense areas. Many of our patients report relief and a feeling of relaxation after the treatment. Rest assured, we continually communicate with our patients during the treatment to assess their comfort levels.

  • Can I get multiple treatments together?

    At Atlantic Chiropractic, we understand that every patient’s needs are unique. Therefore, combining 2-3 treatments in one visit is possible depending on the individual's condition and tolerance. We encourage discussing this with our practitioners during your consultation to create a personalized treatment plan that works best for you.

Treatments: FAQs

Here are some FAQs to help you better understand the variety of services we offer at Atlantic Chiropractic. These questions cover a range of topics from Frequency Specific Microcurrent therapy to the benefits of chiropractic care. Our goal is to provide you with a clear understanding of what each therapy entails and how it could potentially benefit your health. We believe in providing a holistic approach, and these FAQs reflect our commitment to your overall wellbeing.

  • What is Frequency Specific Microcurrent, and how can it help me?

    Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is a therapy that uses low-level electrical currents to help in the reduction of inflammation and pain and promote healing. It's believed that these frequencies can stimulate cells and their energy production, increase the body's natural healing process, and reduce pain. It can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including fibromyalgia, shingles, neuropathic pain, and many others. At Atlantic Chiropractic, our trained practitioners will assess your condition and determine if FSM could be beneficial as part of your treatment plan.


  • How does Hydrothermal/Salt Therapy work, and what are its benefits?

    Hydrothermal/Salt Therapy, also known as Halotherapy, involves breathing in salt-infused air. It's believed to help cleanse the respiratory system, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall wellness. The warm, moist air can help to open up the airways, increase oxygen intake, and cleanse the airways of smoke, dust, pollutants, and other allergens. By doing so, it can help to alleviate symptoms of asthma, chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, and other respiratory conditions. Moreover, the negative ions in salt can also help to improve mood and reduce stress.

  • What is NuCalm, and how does it aid in my overall health?

    NuCalm is a patented technology designed to help your mind and body relax and recover. It uses biochemistry, physics, and neurophysiology to rapidly and reliably create a deeply relaxed state, allowing the body to recover and rejuvenate. It can be beneficial for stress management, improving sleep quality, and enhancing focus and productivity. At Atlantic Chiropractic, we utilize NuCalm as an adjunct to other treatments, enhancing your overall wellness journey.

  • How does Osteopathy differ from Chiropractic, and which one is right for me?

    Osteopathy and Chiropractic are both forms of manual therapy, but they approach treatment differently. While chiropractors focus on the spine and nervous system, osteopaths take a more holistic approach, looking at the entire body and how different systems are interconnected. Both can be beneficial depending on your specific condition or health goals. During your initial consultation at Atlantic Chiropractic, our experienced practitioners will assess your health and lifestyle to determine the best approach for you.
