Frequently Asked Questions

  • The truth is that most chiropractors do about 10% of what we do. In addition to what a 'typical' chiropractor may do, we offer many other services like soft tissue treatment, exercise programming, and rehab exercise. Most importantly, any treatment plan given is custom-tailored to your specific needs. One size never fits all at Mt. Diablo Sport and Spine.

  • Of course not. While the adjustment does have its time and place, it is not a requirement to get treated. We have a variety of other techniques that we can use instead of adjustments to help you overcome your injury and meet your goals.

  • The truth is that most exercises given in Physical Therapy are 'cookie cutter'. In other words, every person that walks in with back pain gets the same set of exercises, no matter what. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. You may have exercises to do, but they may not be the RIGHT exercises.

  • We believe that proper exercise is often the BEST form of medicine for anyone. Most people in pain will benefit from the 'mixed' approach of both chiropractic care as well as proper exercise.

  • In the vast majority of cases, NO! Our goal is always to help you continue to train or exercise even while seeking treatment.

  • Nope. Just give us a call and we can get you right onto the schedule.

  • We require payment at the time of service and accept cash, all major debit/ credit card carriers, HSA/ FSA cards, and checks.

  • We work with you to create the best treatment plan for you. We never force any of our patients to come in and get treated after their injuries have calmed down. However, many patients do choose to come in routinely to maintain wellness and strengthen areas to be proactive before they turn into injuries.

  • Yes! Our guiding principle is that every individual has the potential to be an athlete, albeit for different purposes. Be it mowing the lawn, carrying kids on your back, relocating furniture, or working at a desk job, our aim is to assist you in performing these activities without experiencing any discomfort.

  • We are out-of-network with all insurance carriers. This was done with the patient in mind. Being out-of-network allows us to provide patients with free consultations, an hour comprehensive exam, and hour follow-up appointments; this allows us to treat the individual and your specific needs without restrictions from insurance carriers. If needed, we can provide a superbill, at your request, that can be submitted to the insurance company for reimbursement.
