Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the initial exam and what does it involve?

The initial visit is minutes and entails a FDM soft tissue exam, neurological and orthopedic testing, review of past imaging/medical history, accurate diagnosis, report of findings, and treatment plan. Dr. Heitholt will also discuss any other complicating factors that may be present or could potentially become a problem. Please bring any imaging and relevant radiology reports. Treatment will begin with any time left during the visit.

What should I wear to my visit?

Come in workout type clothes. For upper body issues, please wear a tank top or loose fitting shirt. For lower body issues please wear shorts.

How long will the treatment plan be, and when will I have pain relief?

Most patients begin to feel sustainable improvements in pain within 1-3 visits. In order to gain resolution or maximum therapeutic benefit patients typically are seen 6-12 visits.

How will I know if this treatment will work?

If you have any muscle, joint, or nerve problem even if you have seen other providers, then you are likely a good candidate.

What insurance do you accept?

Our office is not in network with insurance. Insurance doesn’t reimburse for quality or successful outcomes. Our focus is on YOU and making sure you receive the highest quality diagnosis and treatment possible. This yields incredible results! The cost of your treatment is transparent, up front, and will never result in surprises. In the end, the patient and doctor have an aligned interest; get you back to doing what you love without pain as quickly as possible. We do accept health savings accounts (HSA), flexible spending accounts (FSA), cash, check, major credit cards. Payment options can be discussed after diagnosis is made and treatment plan is determined.
