Question 4

What makes Pro Motion Chiropractic different from other chiropractic clinics?

Accepted Answer

Here at Pro Motion Chiropractic we do more than a typical Chiropractor. By this I mean we take the time to find the true origin of pain and treat it with different techniques. We address the soft tissue aspect along with the mechanical obstruction.

We will take the time to educate you so you know what is going on and how you can prevent it from happening again. We want you to learn how to maintain your correction, rather than a lifetime of “wellness” care

Most clinics will spend minutes with you doing the same ole adjustments every single visit regardless of what your "injury" is. Here we do more than just an adjustment.

Question 5

Can you help with other issues that don't involve the spine? (Hips, Shoulders, Wrists, Knees, etc.)

Accepted Answer

YES

A lot of the time your extremity issue can be spinal related! Diagnosis is done through a series of a complete history along with mechanical and functional baseline testing. We will go over this in your visit to see if your extremity issue is a true extremity problem, spine related problem or a mixture of both.

We do perform a variety of adjustments including: wrist, ankle, shoulder, knee, hip, scapula, jaw, ear, etc.

We also perform soft tissue work, rehab/prehab, PIR's, and more to the muscles of the effected area.

Question 6

Do you accept my insurance?

Accepted Answer

Lets be honest... Insurance is FUN.

There’s a complete disconnection between what insurance providers will cover and what’s best for you. It’s still much easier to get opioids or back surgery paid for by insurance than a manual therapy or exercise program reimbursed.

We are currently going through the paper work process to get in network with many of the most popular insurance companies in Michigan. At this time we are in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and Medicare.

Because of high deductibles and out-of-pocket costs with certain policies, many people with coverage elect to go with our all-services-included cash rate: (subject to change)
$100 New Patient Appointment (first visit only) 
$50 Existing Patient Appointment (follow-ups) 
$80 Existing Patient NEW Injury/Condition Appointment
Maintenance Treatment Plan - 10 existing patient appointments for $450 (value: %10 discount / you save $50 / get 1 visit for free)
