I am in pain now, how long will I have to wait to get an appointment? Generally we are able to schedule an appointment for our new and current patients the same day.   If I need to come in for treatment am I going to have to take time off from work? For the convenience of our patients we have late office hours so that you can come in after your regular work day. top Will the treatment hurt? Generally there is no discomfort at all, though the area being treated may be tender. Most patients feel some relief from the very first adjustment. top Will my insurance cover my treatment? In most cases insurance plans will cover chiropractic care, and Dr. Stein is a provider for most insurance companies and HMOs including Blue Cross/ Blue Shield, Harvard Pilgrim, Tufts, Medicare and many others. Our staff is always happy to verify your coverage. top How much will this cost? For our patients who do not have insurance coverage we have a special program "Healthcare Made Affordable". Our uninsured patients find that this program enables them to afford the chiropractic care they need. top Will it be necessary to take x-rays? Depending on Dr. Stein's findings after the preliminary exam he will determine whether or not you need spinal x-rays. During the x-ray process we will use all precautions including high speed film and lead protection to minimize your exposure to the x-ray. top What methods or techniques does Dr. Stein use? Dr. Stein has experience with many techniques and will use the one that is best suited for your individual needs. These techniques include full spine diversified, low force adjustment, Cox distraction and Chiropractic BioPhysics. top Is chiropractic care only of benefit to adults with neck and back pain? Though many people come to our practice because of neck and back pain Dr. Stein has many patients in his practice, including children and expectant mothers, who report improvement in conditions as varied as: migraines; diabetes; asthma; high blood pressure and digestive disorders. Chiropractors remove spinal nerve interference caused by vertebrae which are out of alignment, a very common condition that chiropractors refer to as a subluxation. top Please read the Massachusetts chiropractic law   Home • About the Doctor • FAQ • Our Patients Speak Office Hours • Directions • Contact Information • Links   Stein Chiropractic Office Jonathan D.
