Appointments & Pricing
How much does a chiropractic adjustment cost?
Follow-up chiropractic adjustments are $45.00. For patients focused on long-term wellness, our Wellness Care plan offers a discounted rate of $37.50 per adjustment. We also offer prepayment packages that can further reduce your per-visit cost to approximately $37.50.
Do you accept insurance?
We operate as a non-insurance practice to keep our fees lower and more transparent. While we do not directly bill insurance, we can provide you with receipts to self-submit for reimbursement. We also accept HSA, FSA, and CareCredit payments.
How much is the initial visit?
The New Patient Chiropractic Visit is $90.00. This 30-minute session includes a thorough consultation, comprehensive exam, and your first adjustment.
Treatments & Specialized Care
What types of chiropractic treatments are available?
We offer spinal adjustments, Shockwave Therapy, preventive wellness care, ergonomic evaluations, pediatric chiropractic, and sports injury treatment. Care is tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
What is Shockwave Therapy and how much does it cost?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to promote healing. The initial visit (consultation, exam, and test session) is $65, and follow-up sessions are $80 each, with multi-visit packages available for savings.
Can chiropractic care help Auburn University students and athletes?
Yes! We frequently treat students and athletes, focusing on sports injury recovery and performance. Our transparent pricing makes care affordable for those on a student budget.
Wellness & Philosophy
Is a good workout the same as getting adjusted?
No. Exercise is vital, but if your spine is misaligned, exercise can add unnecessary wear and tear to your joints. Adjustments ensure proper alignment so your body can move safely.
Why do I need to return for follow-up visits?
Muscles and ligaments often "remember" incorrect positions. Retraining the body to support the spine correctly takes time and consistency, which is why follow-up care is essential.
Are Doctors of Chiropractic licensed?
Yes. Dr. Fimreite has over 20 years of experience. Chiropractors undergo doctoral education, pass national board exams, and are state-licensed healthcare providers.
“Chiropractic care isn't just about treating symptoms. It's about restoring function, improving posture, balance, and helping people live healthier, more active lives.”
