Don’t wait until it hurts.

Most people think about calling their chiropractor when something starts hurting. But pain isn’t always the first sign that something has changed.

Posture, mobility, flexibility, and joint function can gradually change over time—especially with long hours at a desk, driving, exercise, and everyday life.

And good posture isn’t just about function. Standing taller and moving better can make you look and feel better, too.

At Performance Family Chiropractic, we combine adjustments with soft-tissue work, stretching, and rehab exercises to help you move well—not just hurt less.
If it’s been a while since we’ve seen you, maybe it’s time for a check-in.
You don’t have to wait for pain to take care of your body.

Chiropractic patients are my kind of people. They want to get back to work, back to activity, and back to life—with as little downtime as possible. Pretty interesting to see the research reflecting that too.

Try chiropractic as first-line care!

Why don't we offer a $47 new-patient special?

You’ve probably seen the ads:

“New Patient Special — Exam, X-rays & Adjustment for $47!”

At Performance Family Chiropractic, we don't typically offer deeply discounted new-patient deals, and there's a reason for that. Chiropractic care is already very affordable.

We don't believe healthcare should be marketed like a doorbuster sale.

Your first visit takes time. We want to hear what is bothering you, understand your history, perform an appropriate examination, explain what we find, answer your questions, and determine whether chiropractic care is actually appropriate for you.

That time has value.

Our goal isn't simply to get as many people as possible through the door with a price that's difficult to pass up. Our goal is to provide an experience and level of care that makes patients feel their visit was worth what they paid for it.

That philosophy continues after the first appointment. We schedule longer visits because we want time to actually treat our patients—not rush from room to room trying to see as many people as possible.

We may not be the cheapest chiropractic office in town, but we are still VERY affordable. And of course we will always bill your insurance properly if you would like us to.

We're okay with that.

We'd rather compete on the quality of the care we provide, the time we spend with our patients, and the experience you have when you're here.

Good healthcare shouldn't need a gimmick.

I know I’m not supposed to read the comments online, but when I do, I see a lot of hate toward chiropractors on social media. Sadly, some chiropractic offices are giving the entire profession a bad name. We are not all scammers.

I recently reviewed a treatment contract given to a family member by a chiropractor in another state. It involved a hefty up-front $ commitment, along with high-pressure sales tactics, fear, and guilt about what could happen if they didn't agree to the recommended plan.

How is a patient supposed to respect a profession when this is what their encounter with it is like?

That isn't how healthcare should work.

There are absolutely times when patients need longer treatment plans, but recommendations should be individualized, progress should be reassessed, and patients should never feel pressured or afraid to ask questions or get a second opinion.

I wrote this blog because patients should know what red flags to watch for when considering chiropractic care—and because those of us in the profession need to hold ourselves to a higher standard.

Good chiropractic care should earn your trust through results and good clinical care—not fear, guilt, or sales tactics.

I recently had an unfortunate opportunity to see firsthand why some people become skeptical of chiropractic care.A family member called me after visiting a chiropractor in another state and asked me to look over the treatment contract they had been given. The proposed program came with a hefty price...

I compiled some important information - with an honest take - about chiropractic care and headaches over on my website. No fancy infographics made by AI or cheesy discount deals, just useful information. If you know someone struggling with headaches, please feel free to share it with them.

There is a time and a place for surgery(I know, surprising hearing that from a chiropractor). But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE try lower cost and less invasive forms of treatment, like chiropractic, first! Studies have shown that if you go to a chiropractor first you are less likely to need surgery and your costs will be much lower. We see far too many patients with failed back surgery syndrome at our clinic. End rant!

Does the first provider matter?

Healthcare spending for spine pain exceeds $134 billion each year in the United States.

A 2024 systematic review analyzed 44 studies comparing chiropractic and medical management for adults with spine-related musculoskeletal pain.

One of the most interesting findings wasn't simply that healthcare costs differed.

It was that downstream healthcare utilization differed.

Patients who initially consulted chiropractors were consistently less likely to receive:

• Opioid prescriptions
• Advanced imaging
• Specialist referrals
• Emergency department visits
• Hospitalizations
• Surgery

This doesn't suggest that these interventions are never appropriate.

Instead, it highlights an important concept in value-based healthcare: The first clinical decision may influence the entire trajectory of care.

Choosing guideline-concordant, conservative management early may help reduce unnecessary escalation while ensuring patients receive the right care at the right time.

How patients enter the healthcare system may matter more than we think.

What if there was one more step before surgery?

You've done the exercises.

You've tried chiropractic care or physical therapy.
Maybe you've even had an injection.

But you're still living with pain.

If that sounds familiar, you may not be out of options.

Shockwave Therapy is a non-surgical treatment designed to stimulate your body's natural healing response for joint, tendon, and soft tissue injuries. For many patients, it bridges the gap between traditional conservative care and surgery.

At Performance Family Chiropractic, we offer both Focused and Radial Shockwave Therapy—allowing us to tailor treatment to your specific condition instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.

For just $90, you'll receive a comprehensive evaluation, have all of your questions answered, and if you're a candidate, you will receive your first Shockwave Therapy treatment.

Discover whether Shockwave Therapy is the next step in your recovery.
