No mystery. No "let's see how it goes." Here is exactly what happens on day one, in order, with rough timing for each step. Most first visits run about 45 minutes start to finish.
Download the new-patient packet ahead of time or fill it out in the waiting room. Bring your insurance card and a photo ID. If you have current imaging (X-ray, MRI), bring it on a disc or email it ahead — saves a step.
The doctor sits down with you. We listen first. What hurts, when, how long, what you have already tried, and what you actually need to be able to do — not just pain-free, but able to pick up your kid, sit through your commute, finish your half-marathon.
Orthopedic, neurologic, and range-of-motion tests. If imaging is needed, we will order it; if not, we will tell you that too. We do not X-ray every patient as a matter of course.
You will leave with a clear plan, a written estimate, and an answer to "how long until I feel better." No fourteen-page packets, no high-pressure sales pitch for a forty-visit prepaid program.
Most new patients receive their first Torque Release adjustment the same day — gentle, specific, and explained before it happens. If today is not the right day, that is perfectly fine. We will reschedule, no charge, no pressure.
We verify your benefits before your first appointment so the front-desk conversation is short and there are no surprises on visit two.
We keep our fees clear and fair, and we do not require pre-paid care plans or bundles. If a tool is not going to help you, we will not bill you for it. We will always tell you the cost up front.
We are glad to work with families on payment arrangements. Just ask — we would rather you ask than worry about it.
We will verify your specific benefits before your first appointment — call us at (210) 691-2747.
If the question on your mind is not here, just call us — we would rather answer it now than have you guess.
No. Our signature Torque Release Technique is a gentle, specific, instrument-assisted adjustment — no twisting, no forceful popping or cracking. It is comfortable enough for newborns, expectant moms, and seniors.
Many patients notice a meaningful change within the first few visits. Chronic, long-standing issues take longer — we will give you an honest read after your first exam, not a generic plan.
Yes — when done by a chiropractor trained to work on them. Pediatric and infant adjustments are remarkably gentle, often nothing more than fingertip pressure. We care for children every week.
Absolutely. Dr. McKenzie Slattery is certified in the Webster Technique, a gentle method designed to support comfort and balance throughout pregnancy.
It depends on what is wrong and how long it has been wrong. We do not sell prepaid packages. After your exam we recommend a plan with a clear end-point, and we revisit it together as you progress.
No. Chiropractors are primary-contact providers in Texas. You can call us directly, no referral required.
It is. We are openly Christ-centered and glad to pray with patients who welcome it — but prayer is never required or assumed. Everyone is cared for with the same gentleness and respect.
Request a new-patient appointment and we will call you back the same business day.
