Conversation first
We start with your history, your symptoms, what has or has not worked, and what feeling better means to you.
15–20 minutesOne-on-one care with Dr. Chakrian—thoughtful assessment, honest findings, and treatment built around the way your body actually moves.
Thoughtful care begins with genuinely understanding the person in front of you.
Dr. Chakrian takes an individualized approach shaped by your history, lifestyle, and the patterns influencing how you feel. That depth of attention makes care precise and personal—supporting natural function now while keeping long-term wellness in view.

Understanding your care is part of receiving good care. Here are the questions we hear most.
A real conversation, a thorough physical assessment, a clear review of findings, and—in most cases—your first adjustment during the same 45–60 minute appointment.
We accept cash, personal injury liens, and Workers’ Compensation. We can also provide a detailed superbill for PPO reimbursement. Call us and we’ll help clarify your specific situation.
Care is adapted to your comfort, history, and presentation. Many patients experience immediate relief or easier motion. We explain what we’re doing and check in throughout your visit.
No referral is needed to book a chiropractic visit. If we find that another type of care is more appropriate, we’ll tell you honestly and help point you in the right direction.
Wear relaxed clothing you can move in—athletic wear, shorts, or anything loose-fitting works well. Bring prior imaging if you have anything relevant and recent.
Tell us what you’re wondering about—your first visit, a condition, payment options, or whether Spine Bar may be a good fit. There’s no pressure to schedule.
