Question 1

Do I need a doctor’s referral for your services?

Accepted Answer

You do not require a doctor’s referral to be assessed and treated at CK Performance and Chiropractic. However, some extended health insurance policies will require that you submit a Doctor’s referral in order to process your claim. We recommend that you call your insurance provider to determine what they require in order to reimburse your payment.

Question 2

How should I dress?

Accepted Answer

We recommend that you wear loose comfortable clothing for your assessment and follow up visits so that our health practitioners can perform a thorough assessment and provide effective treatments. Try to expose the area where the problem is. For example, If it is a shoulder issue, it is best to wear a tank top, if it is a knee issue, it is best to wear shorts and if it is a back issue it is best to wear a loose top that can be easily moved for assessment purposes. If you are unsure how you should dress for your condition, do not hesitate to call and ask us before your appointment, (203) 951-9115.

Question 3

How long will each session last?

Accepted Answer

The time frame for your initial assessment and follow up visits will depend on the nature of your condition and the type of service you are receiving. Typically, the initial appointment will be about 1 hour long and follow ups sessions are anywhere between 20-45 minutes.
It is best to come early enough that you can get changed (if needed) and ready for your appointment. This will maximize the amount of time for your one-on-one session with your doctor.
