YOUR $67 EXAM
What happens at your exam
Most people have never been told what a chiropractic exam actually involves. Here's all of it.
02
Step 2
Clinical Examination
Orthopaedic, neurologic, and chiropractic examination to understand how your body is functioning.
03
Step 3
Posture Study
We assess your posture and alignment to identify patterns that may be contributing to the problem.
04
Step 4
Your Report of Findings
We sit down and go through your own images with you so you understand what we see.
THE BOTTOM LINE
You'll leave knowing what we found, what it will take to address it,
and what that costs.
A DIFFERENT APPROACH
See first. Treat second.
IF YOU'VE TRIED CHIROPRACTIC BEFORE
Been to a chiropractor before and it didn't really work?
You're not alone — it's the most common thing we hear from new patients.
HERE'S THE QUESTION WORTH ASKING
Did they take X-rays before they started treating you?
One of our patients put it better than we could:
I have worked with many chiropractors and I never realized the importance of getting an X-ray done prior to treatment. If they're not taking X-rays, be sure to ask why!
Verified patient experience
We take them here, and we go through them with you. You should be looking at the same thing your doctor is looking at.
WHY YOUR BODY IS DOING THIS
If you sit at a desk, this probably isn't a mystery.
Pain often shows up at the end of the story — not the beginning.
01
Your posture shifts
Hours at a screen gradually bring your head forward of your shoulders.
02
Your neck works overtime
Your neck has to hold that position all day, creating stress you may not notice yet.
03
The rest of you compensates
Your upper back adjusts. Then your lower back adjusts for that. The pattern spreads.
04
Then something starts hurting
The pain can appear long after the underlying pattern began — sometimes somewhere else entirely.
IT DOESN'T HURT ON DAY ONE
It hurts about four years in, on an ordinary Tuesday, for no reason you can point to.
WHY WE LOOK BEFORE WE TREAT
Your treatment plan should match what's actually happening — not just where it happens to hurt.
That's why we examine the bigger picture first, so we can understand what's happening in your case before recommending what comes next.
THE FULL PICTURE METHOD
How we work
Five clear steps. No mystery about what happens next.
STEP
01
LOOK
First, we figure out what's actually happening.
A full examination, posture study, and X-rays taken here.
STEP
02
SHOW
Then we show you what we found.
We go through your images with you and explain what we're seeing in plain English.
STEP
03
PLAN
Your findings become the plan.
A course of care built around what we found, with a defined end instead of an open-ended recommendation.
STEP
04
CORRECT
Then we do the work — and track it as we go.
Care is based on your plan, with progress monitored instead of simply repeating the same thing indefinitely.
STEP
05
KEEP
Re-examine. See what's changed. Then you decide.
We re-examine your progress and show you where things stand. What happens next is your choice.
THE FULL PICTURE METHOD
It isn't complicated — it just means we don't guess.
MORE OPTIONS. A MORE PERSONAL PLAN.
Nine things under one roof
Your care doesn't have to be built around the one thing a practice happens to offer. We have multiple ways to support the plan your findings actually call for.
01
CORE CARE
Chiropractic Care
Hands-on care guided by your examination, imaging, and the patterns we actually find.
02
TARGETED SUPPORT
Spinal Decompression
A non-surgical option that may be incorporated when your findings and condition make it appropriate.
03
MUSCLE & RECOVERY
Massage Therapy
Used when soft-tissue tension and muscular patterns are part of the bigger picture.
AND SIX MORE OPTIONS WHEN THEY FIT YOUR PLAN
Acupuncture
Targeted support for pain, tension, and function.
Dry Needling
Focused work for muscular trigger points and restriction.
Functional Medicine
A broader look at factors that can influence how you feel.
Laser Therapy
Non-invasive therapeutic support when clinically appropriate.
Hydrotherapy Massage
Relaxation and recovery support without hands-on pressure.
Infrared Sauna
Heat-based wellness and recovery support.
THE POINT ISN'T TO USE ALL NINE
Your plan uses the ones your findings call for — not the same combination as the person before you.
Most practices have one tool. Having nine means the plan can fit you, rather than you having to fit the plan.
REAL PATIENT EXPERIENCES
What our patients say
“
I always feel better walking out.
“
I've been to countless chiropractic offices before I found Gard
and nothing compares.
“
Called for a first time visit. They squeezed me in that day
and treated me.
“
They addressed the source of the problem and not once recommended
any pharmaceuticals.

PRACTICAL QUESTIONS, STRAIGHT ANSWERS
The things people ask before they book
The practical details matter too. Here are the quick answers most people want before they schedule their first visit.
01
How soon can I get in?
Usually the same week — sometimes the same day. Someone answers the phone during opening hours.
02
Do you take my insurance?
We accept BCBS, Aetna, Cigna and Medcost. We'll check your benefits for free before you owe anything.
03
What if I need care after the exam?
We'll show you the full plan and the full cost in writing before you decide.
If you pay in full and stop partway through, you're refunded for the visits you didn't use.
