Frequently asked question

Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?

A referral is usually not needed to see a chiropractor, but some insurance plans have their own rules about referrals and prior authorization. Call (330) 724-9331 and the office will check your plan before your visit.

Chiropractic care is a direct-access profession in Ohio in most situations, which means you can typically book without going through your primary care provider first.

The insurance side is where rules live: some plans require a referral or prior authorization before covering chiropractic visits. The front desk team checks your benefits when you call, so you will know where you stand before you arrive. For any care that does need coordination with your medical team, the clinic is happy to communicate with them.
