Area chiropractors differentiate themselves with unique techniques

So How Much Does It Cost?

First visits often cost more, as doctors take the time to learn about your medical history and give you a full exam. Some doctors offer a free first exam to get you in the door, while others do an extensive work-up that can cost as much as $350.

Costs vary based on techniques, but for standard adjustments, expect to pay between $30 and $60. Add-ons with special equipment or techniques may cost more.

Dr. Samuel Barker of Magic Valley Spine & Joint said some chiropractors nationwide are offering monthly memberships instead of charging by the appointment — for example, charging patients $50 per month for up to six adjustments.

“I think it’s going to become the norm,” Barker said.

Chronic headaches? Heartburn? Stuffy nose?

Chiropractors address a surprising range of problems — and employ treatment techniques and instruments that set themselves apart in a crowded field. Many say you won’t find another approach like theirs in the valley or the state.

So the Times-News invited Magic Valley chiropractors to tell us what makes their practices unique. Some offerings are specific to certain ailments, like allergies or herniated discs, while others are unique techniques that treat a range of maladies.

It’s a competitive field, but not a nasty one. Though chiropractors want to find customers, few of them knock their colleagues. “We support each other,”said Dr. Chad Nielson of Nielson Family Chiropractic.

Dr. Rusty Arrington of BlueLakes Chiropractic agreed: “There’s a lot of different ways that chiropractors can specialize.”

Most of the chiropractors’ treatments extend beyond the office. Many offer nutritional counseling and encourage their patients to exercise. If clients don’t make healthy changes in their lives, the quick fixes at chiropractic offices won’t stick, said Dr. Samuel Barker ofMagic Valley Spine & Joint. Giving patients physical therapy-type exercises to do helps reinforce their work.
