Frequently Asked Questions

What is treatment like?

Treatment is 1-on-1 and hands-on with your provider every visit. We spend 1-hour with our New Patients and at least 20-minutes with follow up appointments. With our progressive and global approach to care, we are constantly reassessing and evaluating progress of your condition to ensure goals are being met.

How many visits does it typically take to resolve my condition?

Our treatment plans are typically 5-10 visits over a 4-6 week periods. We jump start your recovery with hands on care in the office and give you the tools needed to propel your recovery forward in the form of active home care. Once pain free, we encourage our patients to continue their exercises at home. A “clean up” is occasionally needed as normal stresses, active lifestyle training and as various injuries occur.

Do I need a referral?

No, you do not need a referral to see any of our providers at Charlotte Sports Performance and Rehab.

Are you going to crack me? What if I don’t want cracked?

Not all injuries indicate the need for an adjustment, which is why we offer many other therapies in our office. If you do not want to be adjusted or are afraid to be adjusted, we can use a variety of other tools to get the results needed for your condition. An adjustment is used to get joint segments that are not moving well to move better. When a joint is not moving properly, it can cause other joints to have to move excessively to make up for the stuck joint, which can lead to pain and injury.

Why should I go to you before seeing my medical doctor for my joint or muscle pain?

While medical doctors help with many problems/diagnosis, most do not have training in conservative care treatments of joint and muscle pain. Our providers will classify your pain and apply appropriate treatment for your condition. If further diagnostic testing or treatment is needed, we can refer you to the appropriate provider.

Will you X-ray me?

We are a movement based practice therefore do not have an X-ray machine in our office. While a static photo may be needed in the case of a traumatic fall or in the case of specific positive orthopedic testing, we utilize screens to assess how you are dynamically moving to propel you forward to full recovery.

Do you accept my insurance?

CSPR is an out of network chiropractic office. Due to the large tool box of techniques we utilize, many of our extremely effective therapies will not be covered by your insurance. To keep the cost to you down and allow our providers the ability to focus on giving you the best care possible, we use flat fees in our office. We are able to provide you with a superbill which you can use to submit out of network coverage to insurance. Please call for more information.

Can I use my Health Spendings Account (HSA) or Flex Spending Card?

Yes. If your HSA needs a superbill or itemized receipt, we will be more than happy to provide this.
