Minor side effects can include soreness, stiffness, or mild discomfort post-adjustment. Serious complications are rare but may involve issues with nerves, dizziness, or, very rarely, vascular problems (especially in neck adjustments)—so full disclosure of your medical history is important. Active Chiropractic PC is fully licensed and certified, which helps ensure safety in its procedures.

The website has a “Fees and Insurance” section, meaning they accept insurance or provide fee schedules. For specifics (which insurance plans, co-pays, etc.), you’ll likely need to contact the clinic directly or check their insurance FAQ. Be sure to ask what your out-of-pocket cost will be for a new patient visit + follow-ups.

The initial visit usually takes longer — evaluation, history, examination, possibly imaging, and developing a treatment plan. (Exact time not given on site, but typical chiropractic first visits are often 45–90 minutes.) Subsequent visits are generally shorter, focused on adjustment and follow-up treatments. The number of visits depends on the condition: severity, chronicity, and your response to treatment. Some people feel relief after 1-2 visits; others need a series of treatments over weeks or months.
