Does Skare Spine and Performance accept insurance?

Skare Spine and Performance is a cash-based, musculoskeletal specialist clinic. This model gives you more time with your physician and a more personalized healthcare experience that is not available through traditional insurance-based models.

We currently accept Medicare, but for other insurance providers, we are considered out-of-network. However, we can provide you with superbills that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. It's important to note that certain techniques we utilize may have limited coverage by insurance, which is why we offer flat fees. This approach allows us to provide you with the best care possible while keeping our prices affordable. 

Health insurance often restricts how long you can spend with your doctor during appointments. At Skare Spine and Performance, we prioritize your care by giving you as much time as necessary during appointments to ensure you receive the best possible treatment.

 

Does Skare Spine and Performance accept HSA/FSA?

Yes, we accept HSA/FSA cards.

What does treatment look like at Skare Spine and Performance?

At Skare Spine and Performance, our treatment goes beyond chiropractic adjustments. We combine a range of manual therapy techniques in a standard treatment to reduce pain and enhance function effectively. Our comprehensive approach includes chiropractic manipulation, soft-tissue work, rehabilitative exercises, dry needling, and other personalized techniques based on your specific condition and goals.

 

What does a typical treatment plan look like?

Our treatment plans typically span 6-8 visits over 3-4 weeks for most individuals. This allows us to address the underlying functional deficits that contribute to pain. We keep the treatment plan relatively short so that we can adjust as necessary and closely monitor your progress. If additional improvements are needed, or a referral is necessary, this timeframe allows for flexibility.

Depending on your exact condition, your first visit will include some or all of the following:

  • A detailed history
  • Neurological Assessment 
  • Biomechanical Assessment
  • Orthopedic Assessment
