Insurance & frequently asked questions
Call us with your plan information and we'll check your benefits before your first visit.
What insurance do you take?
We're in network with Aetna, Ambetter, Blue Cross Blue Shield, CareSource, Cigna (Pooler office only), Clover Health, Coventry, First Health Network, Gulfstream, HealthGram, Maestro, Medicare, UMR and UnitedHealthcare. If you're insured through the City of Savannah, please ask them to add us to their network.
We also accept workers' compensation and see people after car accidents (how accident care is paid for).
Do you have self-pay discounts?
We offer reduced self-pay rates through ChiroHealthUSA, a discount program with a one-time $50 membership. Our current ChiroHealthUSA rates are $60 for a new-patient exam and $30 for an adjustment (subject to change). Learn about ChiroHealthUSA.

- Diversified
- Gonstead
- Logan (Dr. Jewett only)

Can you prescribe medication?
No. We're doctors of chiropractic, not medical doctors, so we don't prescribe medication. We refer you to medical providers when needed.
What kind of therapy do you do?
In-office therapeutic exercise for recent injuries, including injuries from car accidents, and home exercise programs for long-standing problems. We also use therapy modalities such as traction, electrical muscle stimulation and laser.
Can I get adjusted if I'm pregnant?
Yes, many people are adjusted during pregnancy. We adapt positioning and techniques, and we recommend checking with your OB or midwife. Read our pregnancy article.
Are chiropractors real doctors?
Doctors of chiropractic earn a doctoral degree and are licensed health-care providers, much as dentists are. We're not medical doctors: we don't prescribe medication or perform surgery. About chiropractic education.

Once I start, do I always have to go?
No. It's a myth that your body becomes "addicted" to adjustments. For a recent injury, the goal is to get you back to how you were and then release you. Symptoms can come back, often because of posture, activity or work habits, and we'll show you what you can do at home. More.
What causes the popping sound?
It's the same thing that happens when you crack your knuckles: gas released from the fluid in the joint. It doesn't happen every time, and it isn't needed for the adjustment to work.
Are adjustments painful?
Usually not. If the area is very inflamed and tender, an adjustment can be uncomfortable, so we may use a low-force technique such as the Activator instead.
Can I be adjusted after spine surgery?
Often, yes, once you've healed. We never adjust levels that have been fused. We'll review your imaging and surgical notes, and check with your surgeon if needed, to decide what's safe.
What causes spinal "subluxations"?
Chiropractors use "subluxation" for a joint that isn't moving well, with tight muscles around it. Common contributors are posture, falls, car accidents, repetitive work, sitting or standing for long periods, stress and poor sleep.
