Frequently Asked Questions
For Active Adults 40+ Who Want to Stay on the Court
No, we operate on a 100% cash-based model. This allows us to focus entirely on what YOU need, not what an insurance company will approve. We can use advanced tools like laser therapy and spinal decompression without waiting for pre-authorization. Many patients use their HSA or FSA cards to pay, which makes it tax-advantaged. You'll know the cost upfront—no surprise denials or billing headaches.
That's actually common. Most approaches focus on the symptom (the pain) rather than the cause (the engineering problem). Our Bionomics approach is different—we look at how your anatomy interacts with your environment and activities. We fix the setup, not just the symptom. If you haven't addressed the mechanical root cause, the pain keeps coming back.
Traditional chiropractic often focuses on spinal adjustments alone. We combine adjustments with Bionomics (biomechanics + ergonomics), movement assessment, and Elite Fitness training. You don't just get adjusted—you get a complete plan that includes exercises, ergonomic modifications, and education so you can maintain your results long-term.
Absolutely not. We treat you like an athlete regardless of your current fitness level. Whether you're a competitive pickleballer or someone who just wants to walk the beach without pain, you deserve the same level of expert care. The biomechanics are the same—your body is a machine that needs proper maintenance.
Many patients feel some relief after the first visit, but meaningful, lasting change typically takes 2-6 visits depending on the complexity of your problem. We're focused on short-term, results-driven care. Dr. Paul will give you realistic expectations during your first visit—no over-promising, no automatic long-term contracts.
Investment varies based on your specific needs and treatment plan. Dr. Paul will discuss costs transparently during your first visit after he understands your situation. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges. Many patients find that avoiding surgery, missed activities, or ongoing pain medication makes this a worthwhile investment in their quality of life.
