Do I need a referral to see Dr. Williams?
NO. As a primary health care provider
no referral is necessary to see Dr. Williams. Some insurances
require referrals to specialists, such as Doctors of chiropractic.
So it is best to check with your insurance carrier of this
office to inquire if your insurance requires a referral. Many
medical providers refer to our clinic regularly and we gladly
accept those referrals.
Will my insurance pay
for Chiropractic care? In most cases the answer is
yes. It is best to call the office and have our well trained
staff contact your insurance company to inquire of your exact
coverage.
Am I too old or does my
osteoporosis keep me form being treated by a Doctor of Chiropractic?
I personally have treated patients over 100 years old. I have
many patients in excess of 90 years of age. All patients must
be treated differently. We do not treat a patient in
their 90's the same as we would a 16 year old football player.
Every patient is unique and treated as such!
Will the Doctor take x-rays
of me? After an exam the doctor will determine
if x-rays are needed and will take them here in the office.

Is Chiropractic Care Safe?
There are literally thousands of published
scientific studies proving chiropractic's safety and effectiveness.
In the words of the New Zealand government's inquiry, chiropractic
care is...
"Remarkably Safe"
In fact, chiropractic
adjustments are safer than back surgery, muscle relaxers and
even aspirin!
