What is the best way to contact your office?
Drs. Drew and Christine answer all emails and phone calls directly. While you are welcome to call our office, the fastest way to contact us is via email at [email protected].
What if I don’t want to be “popped”?
No problem! We can utilize several other methods of adjusting, such as Activator Technique or Muscle Energy Techniques (MET). These are gentle yet effective ways to adjust your spine and loosen your muscles without causing any popping sounds.
Why is there so much variation between chiropractors?
The chiropractic profession can generally be divided into two primary groups:
Evidence-based Chiropractors
Evidence-based chiropractors work on a physical medicine model to diagnose and treat patients. Chiropractic adjustments are just one component of treatment and are generally blended with other therapeutic modalities such as hot/cold therapy, dry needling, Graston Technique, rehabilitative exercises, nutritional support and lifestyle changes. Many of these chiropractors work in cooperation with other practitioners such as physical therapists, medical doctors, acupuncturists and naturopaths.
Both Drs. Drew and Christine tend to fall into this category, however, also believe that there is much about the human body that is not understood. Part of the beauty of chiropractic is the artful delivery of the adjustment as we have seen chiropractic have some amazing, seemingly unexplainable benefits for our patients.
Straight Chiropractors
Philosophically-based chiropractors maintain that spinal manipulation improves a plethora of health conditions beyond musculoskeletal injuries such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Their main diagnosis is a “vertebral subluxation”, which occurs when a misaligned vertebrae puts pressure on a nearby nerve thus causing subclinical impairment of that nerve. Many of these practitioners promote long-term treatment plans and lifelong chiropractic care and adhere to the belief that spinal adjustments can cure any disease or condition.
How well educated is a chiropractor?
Chiropractors obtain a four-year undergraduate degree prior to applying to chiropractic school. Chiropractic school is a four year doctorate program where the first 3 years are mainly didactic classes including Anatomy and Physiology, Neuroanatomy, Neurology, Biomechanics, and Nutrition. The last year is spent honing clinical skills and working with patients in the school’s outpatient clinic.
All chiropractors must pass a four part National Board Exam and remain in good standing with the state by completing 15 hours of continuing education each year.
Do you offer lab testing such as blood panels and food allergy testing?
Yes. As a member of a professional lab co-op, we have access to the lowest fee schedule in healthcare for blood panels. We utilize the ALCAT test for allergy testing and Genova Labs for stool and digestive analysis.
Can I use my health insurance?
We are happy to provide detailed receipts which you can turn into your insurance company for reimbursement.
Can I use my HSA/FSA account?
Yes! Chiropractic and massage visits as well as supplements are eligible for HSA’s and FSA’s.
I was in a car accident, can I use my auto insurance to pay for care?
Yes, you can.
Every insured driver in the state of Colorado should have a part of their policy, known as Medpay, that covers at least $5,000 worth of healthcare after an accident. We ask that you bring your auto insurance information (including the claim number, policy number and adjuster’s contract information) with you to your first visit. We will bill your auto insurance directly so that you can focus on getting better.

Hundreds of Google Reviews!
Chiropractic has been part of my life for decades. Dr. Christine is absolutely amazing! The last three years I have experience debilitating pain. Some treatments helped but did not last. She has combined all her tools and pain has reduced significantly to the point I am sleeping most nights with little to no pain.
THANK YOU!
