You’ll only be surprised by what your body can do
What to Expect
From the moment you walk into DC Wellness, you will notice that we are quite different from other experiences you may have had in the past. It is part of our vision to have the people who enter our doors walk out a better version of themselves. You will be welcomed by a warm and friendly, upbeat and family-oriented environment. In our lobby you will find snacks, water, and coffee to sip on!
Our patients rarely have to wait to be adjusted. However, if you do have to wait, you will find community and conversation within our walls! As you wait, check out our interactive blackboard for education or entertainment. Will your kids be joining you? Feel free to send them into our Kid’s Playroom where they can color, read or “cook” our team a delicious meal at the play kitchen! For your older children, challenge them to a game of Connect Four or Tic-Tac-Toe at our pub table.
Our goal is that the more you come through our doors, the more comfortable you become! We know that going to a new place can be scary, but over time, we hope to be a second home to you and your family! We take great pride in being the local place where individuals and families, of all life stages, begin their wellness journey.

Your first visit/Insight Scans:
Upon arrival, you will meet with a doctor to thoroughly discuss your health history and goals for care. Next, a few thermal scans will be done. This cutting-edge technology, safe for all ages, provides concrete data that shows where your nervous system has stress, allowing us to personalize each adjustment and care plan. We are also able to use this technology to track your progress as you continue care with us!
Rolling Thermal
This scan reveals the condition of your autonomic nervous system, which controls your organs, glands, and circulatory system.
When there are disturbances, what we call subluxations, along the spine, there are often temperature differences from side to side, due to inflammation and changes in blood flow.
Surface Electromyograph
This scan measures even the most minuscule amounts of electrical energy in the muscles along your spine.
When there is a subluxation, it can disturb the function of the nervous system, producing irregular amounts of electrical activity in your muscles.
Heart Rate Variability
This scan measures your stress and energy levels by analyzing the rates and rhythms of your resting heart rate.
A visual representation is produced showing the balance between your Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous systems.
Lastly, the doctor will complete a chiropractic exam. If the doctors decide to perform any chiropractic treatment they see fit, they will walk you through every step of the process.
Your Second Visit:
This is one of our favorite visits – you will learn so much about yourself and your health journey! Our goal is to educate all our patients on how to truly live a wellness lifestyle!
At this follow up visit, the doctor will go through a full report of your scans and how they relate to your health history, current challenges you may be experiencing, and the health goals you would like to achieve. The doctor will then give you a personalized care plan recommendation and a detailed explanation of how to get started on your wellness journey.
FAQ’s
What if nothing is “wrong” or I’m not experiencing any pain?
You are the best guide to know when your health needs some attention – but are you listening to that?! We can often tell when things feel “off” WAY before we truly start to feel any major symptoms. Listen to your intuition! Your body was designed to be balanced and well. The healing mechanisms are already within you, sometimes they just need a little help. Chiropractic is one of the most natural, effective ways that you can ensure that you stay out of pain, and that your body is functioning and healing at 100%. Don’t wait until the chaos of symptoms shows up. Be proactive and take care of yourself with chiropractic.
Do you accept insurance? How much will it cost for me to come?
We do not accept insurance; however, we do accept HSA and FSA cards! We prefer to treat our patients with the care they need, not just what insurance allows them to have. We have also found that our prices are typically cheaper than most deductibles and copays. You are still able to submit your claims to your insurance company, and we would be happy to provide you with a superbill. This usually ends up saving you money in the long run!
Every person and every case is different and we want to make sure we put you on a care plan that is best for what you might be going through! Our new patient visits are $139 but the cost of care after that is not determined until our doctors are able to discuss and evaluate your findings and health history. It is incredibly important to us to keep care affordable for everyone!
What can I do if I’m nervous about being adjusted? (I’m nervous. What should I expect?)
We understand this may be new to you or you may have had bad experiences in the past, but don’t be nervous! We take our time to get to know you and what your body needs, and our doctors use very specific and gentle adjustments. We will make sure you are comfortable throughout the process and will educate and explain everything we will do prior to starting. Feel free to look at the What to Expect page to learn more!
How frequently can I expect to come?
Based on our findings from our exam and thermal nervous system scans, a custom care plan will be created for you. Those can all range in frequencies, but we can assure you that the frequency we present truly is the best way to get you going on your wellness journey. While a doctor might suggest a frequency that feels too high for you, we will never ask you to come more than you are able to. However, following our docs recommendations is the quickest way to see the results we know you are seeking.
