Questions people ask before they book

We talk first: how your pregnancy is going, what has changed in how you sit, stand and sleep, and what you want from a visit. Then a short, gentle exam, and an explanation of what we found and what we would suggest. Nothing happens until you say yes, and you can stop at any point. Plan on about 45 minutes.

Every kind of care has risks. Soreness after an adjustment is common and usually short. Rare serious problems have been reported after chiropractic care. We explain the risks before you decide, we use positions and pillows made for pregnancy, and your midwife or OB knows you are seeing us. Ask them first. If you are told to avoid chiropractic care, we will not treat you.

Most people feel pressure and movement, not pain, and some feel sore the next day. Pregnancy changes how you lie down, so we use side-lying and pillow positions and keep adjustments light. Tell us at any point and we change what we are doing.

Dr. Das sets a plan with you after the first exam and changes it as your pregnancy changes. We do not promise a number of visits, and you can stop at any time.

Some plans pay for part of a chiropractic visit and some do not, and a plan can treat pregnancy differently. We bill some plan types; the how fees work page explains what we bill, what you can ask your plan and how to get a written estimate.

If you do not use insurance, you have the right to a Good Faith Estimate. Ask us. We give you a written estimate before the visit and an itemized receipt after it.

We do not take x-rays as a routine. We recommend imaging only when it is medically necessary, and during pregnancy that decision belongs with your midwife or OB, so we would send you to them.

You can come at any stage your midwife or OB agrees to. Your child may sit with you in the waiting room or the care room. If you want care for a child, ask us first; we explain what we do and do not claim before anything is booked, and we make no claims about conditions in babies or children.

That is who we expect you to see. With your written permission we send them a short note after your first visit. They stay in charge of your pregnancy care, and we work alongside them.

Please tell us as early as you can if you cannot come, because pregnancy days change. Ask the front desk about our cancellation policy.
