Before you choose any chiropractor
- Confirm the chiropractor's California license, and check for public discipline, on the California Board of Chiropractic Examiners website.
- Ask for the fees and the care plan in writing, and how many visits are expected.
- Ask how billing works: your insurance, medical payments coverage or a lien. Read any lien agreement before signing and consider having your attorney review it.
- See a medical doctor or go to the emergency room for severe pain, numbness, weakness or any symptom that worries you.
