Getting Started

We believe in getting to the cause of your problem. That means Dr. Barter will do his due diligence at your first visit. He goes through comprehensive testing and makes sure you understand what’s happening each step of the way. You’ll learn about his findings and receive treatment on the same day. Below, you can read more details of each step of that first visit.

NEW PATIENTS

  • Your Consultation

    You’ll be escorted to the examination room, where your vitals will be taken. Then, you’ll meet Dr. Barter to have a full consultation. We want to know all about what’s brought you here and the problems you’re experiencing. Tell us all about your goals, and Dr. Barter will give you an honest opinion as to whether chiropractic can help you. The majority of the time, it can!

  • Examination

    Once we’ve determined you are a candidate for chiropractic, we’ll perform a thorough examination. This includes neurological, orthopedic, and physical forms of testing. Having a comprehensive evaluation allows us to pinpoint the source of your problem.

  • Findings

    After your exam, Dr. Barter will explain what he found and which areas of the body aren’t working as they should, causing you problems. Then, you’ll learn about chiropractic adjustment.

  • Adjustment and Therapies

    If you feel ready to get started, you’ll get an adjustment and talk about Dr. Barter’s care recommendations. We typically start a patient on 2-6 weeks of care. After that, we reevaluate and adapt your care as needed.


    You may receive a form of therapy before or after your adjustment, depending on your situation.


    After your initial adjustment, Dr. Barter will explain you may feel sore in the next day or so. Keep your body active, and Dr. Barter will go over using ice or heat at home. He’ll discuss other factors like sleeping, sitting, and anything else that might be contributing to your problem.

  • Checking Out

    That concludes the process for your first visit. You’ll be escorted back to the front desk, where you can schedule other appointments as needed and pay any fees that aren’t covered by insurance. You’ll always know upfront how much your care will cost so there are never any surprises.


    We are in-network with most companies, including Medicare. If you don’t have coverage, we have payment plans available. You can even purchase a prepaid plan.
