Common Questions

Questions About Active Spine & Joint

Everything you need to know before your first visit. Don't see your question? Call us.

Most patients report substantial improvement in their chronic pain within a few visits, and many feel relief after the very first session. Every patient is different, so results vary from person to person.

Please bring ID and list of medications. Do not bring completed new patient paperwork as that needs to be completed online prior to their appointment. If not completed, they need to arrive 30 minutes prior to their appointment time.

You'll meet with one of our practitioners, who will review your condition and medical history and complete a physical exam to understand what's causing your pain. From there, they'll recommend a personalized plan of care based on what they find.

Yes. We offer insurance-covered programs and accept most insurances, including Medicare. We're happy to verify your coverage; just call us with your insurance name, ID number, and date of birth.
