Do you take my Health Insurance?
We believe in providing care to everyone in Jacksonville and are committed to giving our clients the best possible rate. For this reason, we chose not to be in the network with any major insurance. This way, we can maintain accessible rates and treat you based on what you truly need instead of what your insurance allows you to access. However, you are more than welcome to use your HSA and FSA cards, and we can also provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company.
Where do I park?
We have plenty of spots in our building’s parking lot. If for some reason these spots are full, there is plenty of free street parking on one of the surrounding streets.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Come dressed in whatever you feel comfortable in. We suggest clothes with a little give due to some of the movements Dr. Dalton will want you to be able to move into.
What if I don't have out of network benefits, can I still be a patient?
Absolutely! The reason we offer low cash, packages, and member rates is that we want to take care of everyone in our community, and we believe patients who invest in their own health and wellness deserve recognition.

Do I have to leave my credit card on file?
It is my first time with a chiropractor; how do I know it works?
If you choose to book a session with us, we will request a credit card. This is just our system procedure to be able to book and ensure payment. After your session, you can always choose if you want to use the card on file or if you want to pay in cash, debit or using a different card. Our system is 100% secure and your information will be safe and protected.
You will know when you will feel relief. I understand you might have some objections because I had them too, long ago when I was a chiropractic patient for the first time. Let me tell you a quick story that helped me realize what chiropractic does. I grew up on a horse farm, and once, one of the horses was lame and couldn’t show. To my younger self's surprise, a chiropractor flew in, adjusted the horse, and a couple of days later, it went and performed better than ever and won the class. This helped me notice how much better a horse could get from having its joints unrestricted and how much better I could get if I took care of mine! - Dr. Dalton
