Chiropractic FAQs
Have questions about chiropractic care, your first visit, insurance, or whether Vert Chiropractic may be a good fit for you?
At Vert Chiropractic in Lacey, Washington, we believe patients deserve clear answers before making decisions about their care. These frequently asked questions are designed to help you better understand our individualized approach, who we work with, and what you can expect.
Do I Have to Be in Pain to See a Chiropractor?
No.
Some people seek chiropractic care because of pain or discomfort, while others are interested in movement, mobility, posture, healthy habits, or better understanding how their body is functioning.
At Vert Chiropractic, care is individualized based on the person rather than assuming everyone needs the same type of care.
Will Everyone Receive the Same Chiropractic Adjustment?
No.
Every patient is different.
Your age, health history, comfort level, movement, mobility, goals, and examination findings all help guide recommendations.
Dr. Trevor Marum's philosophy is to do as light and as little as appropriate rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Is Chiropractic Care Appropriate for Children?
Vert Chiropractic provides individualized pediatric chiropractic care.
Children are not simply small adults, so care is adapted to age, size, development, comfort level, and individual needs.
An appropriate evaluation helps determine whether chiropractic care may be suitable for the child in front of us.
Do You Work With Seniors?
Yes.
Care for older adults is individualized with attention to age, mobility, comfort level, health history, and clinical needs.
Recommendations are based on the person rather than a standard treatment plan.
Do You Work With Athletes and Active Adults?
Yes.
Vert Chiropractic works with competitive athletes, recreational athletes, and active adults.
Our approach considers movement, mobility, training demands, previous injuries, and the activities that matter most to the individual.
The goal is to better understand how the body is moving and determine whether chiropractic care may be appropriate.
Do You Provide Chiropractic Care After Auto Accidents?
Yes.
Vert Chiropractic provides chiropractic evaluations and care for people following motor vehicle accidents and related musculoskeletal injuries.
Because every accident is different, we begin with a thorough history and appropriate examination before making recommendations.
Do You Work With Work-Related Injuries?
Yes.
We work with patients experiencing work-related musculoskeletal concerns and injuries.
Care is individualized based on the person's history, examination findings, physical demands, movement, and specific needs.
Do You Work With Veterans and Active Military?
Yes.
Vert Chiropractic provides individualized chiropractic care for veterans and active-duty military personnel.
We recognize that service and training can place unique physical demands on the body, so recommendations are based on the individual rather than assuming everyone has the same needs.
Do You Accept Medicare?
Yes.
Vert Chiropractic provides chiropractic care for Medicare patients.
Please note that Medicare and Medicare Advantage are not the same thing. Medicare Advantage plans may have different networks, coverage requirements, or benefits and should be verified separately.
Our team can help provide general information about your available chiropractic benefits.
Do You Accept Insurance?
Yes.
Vert Chiropractic accepts Medicare and most major insurance plans.
Once your intake forms are completed, our team can help verify your chiropractic benefits as a courtesy.
Insurance verification is not a guarantee of coverage or payment. Final benefits are determined by your insurance carrier and the terms of your individual plan.
How Long Will It Take to Feel Better?
There is no single timeline that applies to everyone.
People respond differently based on their individual presentation, health history, condition, activity level, and other factors.
Some people may notice changes sooner than others, but Vert Chiropractic does not guarantee a specific result or timeline.
Recommendations are individualized and may be adjusted based on examination findings, goals, and response to care.
Is Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?
Chiropractic care may be appropriate for some pregnant patients when it is individualized to their stage of pregnancy, health history, comfort level, and needs.
At Vert Chiropractic, prenatal care is gentle and tailored to the individual. If additional medical guidance is appropriate, collaboration with the patient's other healthcare providers may be recommended.
