Frequently Asked Questions About Chiropractic Care
What Patients Commonly Ask Before Their First Visit
How long has Dr. Woodroof been practicing chiropractic care?
Dr. Ike Woodroof founded Woodroof Chiropractic & Acupuncture in Olathe and has been practicing for over seven years. His clinical approach focuses on structured evaluation, accurate diagnosis, and treatment recommendations based on examination findings.
Do you accept insurance and how is coverage determined?
We accept most major insurance plans. Before your first visit, we verify your benefits to determine coverage, co-pays, deductibles, and any authorization requirements.
What conditions do you commonly evaluate?
We commonly evaluate spine, joint, and nerve-related conditions, including neck pain, low back pain, headaches and migraines, sciatica, shoulder and arm pain, disc-related conditions, and car accident injuries.
How long until I notice improvement?
This depends on the condition, how long it has been present, and what structures are involved. Some patients notice improvement early, while others require a longer course of care based on the diagnosis and clinical findings.
Do I need imaging before treatment?
Not always. Imaging is recommended only when clinical findings suggest it is necessary for safety, diagnosis, or treatment planning.
What treatments do you offer?
Treatment recommendations depend on the diagnosis. Depending on your condition, care may include chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, dry needling, hydromassage, cupping, and at-home exercise guidance.
Is chiropractic care safe?
Yes. When performed by a licensed chiropractor following an appropriate evaluation, chiropractic care has a strong safety profile. Treatment is tailored to the individual patient and condition.
How many visits will I need?
The number of visits depends on the diagnosis, how long the problem has been present, and how you respond to care. Some conditions improve quickly, while others require a more structured plan.
Can long-standing pain still improve?
Yes. Even chronic pain can improve when the underlying mechanical, muscular, disc-related, or nerve-related factors are properly identified and addressed.
Do you accept patients without insurance?
Yes. We offer self-pay options for patients without insurance.
