Our Chiropractic Expertise

When visiting Bridgetown Chiropractic for the first time, you should expect that our doctors will take time to explain how chiropractic works and why it helps. You will receive a comprehensive examination and the doctor will review past medical history. You will be given time to have your questions answered and provide explanations about chiropractic techniques. If it is reasonable and necessary, you should expect to undergo treatment during this visit. If it is determined that additional visits would be appropriate, a plan of care would be discussed, as well as what to expect at follow-up visits.

Depending on their specific condition, some patients may experience a mild level of discomfort. However, the majority of our patients report an instant overall decrease in pain. By providing explanations of their actions, the doctors will ensure that you are aware of everything they are doing before any treatments are performed.

Your first visit may last up to one hour, and follow-up appointments generally last about 30 minutes. Our doctors take time with each patient to connect with them on a personal level and help guide patients to a state of overall wellness. Time spent with our doctors is never hurried or rushed.

This test will only be ordered if it is necessary to help our doctors diagnose your problem, or if your treatment has not progressed as anticipated. X-rays are generally not needed in order to receive care.

Our chiropractors work closely with Portland-area physicians and frequently see patients who have been referred to them by outside providers. To ensure that our patients receive the best care for their condition, the doctors work cooperatively with a patient’s whole team of medical providers.

We understand that occasionally patients may need to reschedule their appointments. Because of the personalized attention given to each patient at Bridgetown Chiropractic and Wellness, it is preferred that cancelations are made 24 hours prior to the scheduled appointment time. Patients who miss their appointment without notifying the office may be subject to a $35.00 no-show fee.

Bridgetown Chiropractic accepts checks, cash, debit card, credit card, and Flexible Spending or Health Savings Account cards as payment for services. Payments, including health insurance co-payments, are due at the time of service. Patients who are eligible for health insurance should bring their insurance cards with them during their visit, and Bridgetown will bill your insurance provider.

Provided they are able to pay at the time of their visit, the doctors will see patients without insurance. We offer a variety of treatments in our clinic in addition to chiropractic adjustments and massage therapy. Patients are welcome to pay as they go per treatment.

In the State of Oregon, auto insurance policies carry a personal injury protection clause of at least $15,000 per person, per vehicle. Typically, health insurance costs that are accrued as a result of the car accident are paid-in-full by the auto insurance provider within two years of the accident. We are committed to working with insurance companies to make sure patients receive medically necessary care until they are returned to pre-injury status.

Most injured workers are entitled to worker’s compensation benefits. Following a workplace injury, a chiropractor can serve as the attending physician for the first 60 days, or 18 visits, whichever comes first. Typically all bills are paid-in-full by the insurance provider, but the doctors will work with your insurance provider to provide details regarding your specific situation.
