Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about chiropractic care, our services, and what to expect at your first visit.
Getting Started
Your first visit may include a consultation which includes a health history review and physical examination so Dr. Fiore can understand your condition and goals. Dr. Fiore will refer you for any imaging if needed. He will also refer you to other medical providers if needed. You will then receive initial recommendations on the same day. Plan for up to 45–60 minutes.
Yes — all visits are by appointment only. Call us at (773) 631-5555 to have an appointment scheduled, or use the contact form on our website. We offer flexible hours Monday through Friday 9 am–7 pm and Saturday 9 am–2 pm.
Please bring a valid photo ID, your insurance card, any relevant medical records or imaging (X-rays, MRI reports). Arriving 10 minutes early is appreciated.
The number of visits depends on your specific condition, its severity, and how your body responds to care. After your initial examination, Dr. Fiore will outline a recommended treatment plan. Many patients experience significant relief within a few visits; others benefit from ongoing maintenance care.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies for musculoskeletal conditions. Dr. Fiore has over 30 years of experience and tailors every adjustment to the patient's age, size, and specific condition. Serious complications are extremely rare.
Most patients feel immediate relief after an adjustment. Some experience mild soreness for 24–48 hours — similar to the feeling after a new workout — as the body adapts. Dr. Fiore uses gentle, precise techniques and will always adjust the treatment based on your comfort level.
The sound is caused by the release of gas bubbles from the fluid surrounding the joint — similar to cracking your knuckles. It is completely normal and not a sign of anything harmful. Not all adjustments produce this sound, and the absence of it does not mean the adjustment was ineffective.
We treat a wide range of conditions including back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, herniated discs, shoulder and knee pain, auto accident injuries, work injuries, and sports injuries. We also provide acupuncture, therapy massage, and physical therapy to support your recovery.
Insurance & Payment
Yes. We accept most major insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, Aetna PPO, Medicare Part B, and many others. We also handle personal injury liens for auto accident cases. Call our office and we will verify your benefits before your first visit.
If you were injured in a car accident, we work directly with your auto insurance or on a lien basis with your attorney so you can receive care now and settle billing after your case resolves. You should not have to pay out of pocket while your claim is pending.
Yes. We are experienced in treating work-related injuries and accept workers' compensation insurance. We provide thorough documentation to support your claim and work closely with employers and insurance carriers to facilitate your recovery.
We offer affordable self-pay rates with a discount plan that is free to join. Payment is due at the time of service. Please call us to discuss pricing — we believe cost should never be a barrier to receiving quality healthcare.
