Frequently
Asked
Questions

Do I need a referral from my doctor?

Nope! Chiropractors are considered primary healthcare providers. You can schedule with us directly!

Is your chiropractic care too aggressive?

No, it is not.  Our goal is to get rid of the bad symptoms you are feeling.  We have a variety of techniques to achieve this, and we will work with your comfort level as we move forward.  

Do we take care of children?

Yes, we do!  Our youngest was 3 hours old, Dr. Pulley’s daughter.  She was born with torticollis (also known as wryneck). It took a month to get it corrected, but she has no problems now.

​Can I get chiropractic care if I’m pregnant or have previous injuries?

Yes! Chiropractic care is considered safe during pregnancy and can often help with discomfort. We also adjust techniques based on past injuries or surgeries.

Are you accepting new patients?

Yes!  With Dr. Patel joining us, we have more availability at almost any time needed.

Do you take walk-ins?

Absolutely.  We are very accommodating.  If we are a bit busy, however, there may be a wait, as we want to prioritize our scheduled patients first.

Is there a difference between Dr. Pulley and Dr. Patel?

Their goal is the same: to identify what is happening with you and help if they can, or refer you out if they can’t.  That being said, they have slightly different techniques and approaches to accomplish this.

What should I expect during my first visit?

Your first visit includes a consultation, a thorough examination, and a discussion of the findings before treatment begins. It typically takes between 30 minutes and 1 hour for your first visit.

Do you offer massages?

While our doctors will occasionally do some deep tissue work, we do not offer massages at our facility at this time. Check out our friends upstairs at East Village Spa for some great massage options!
