Q&A
Does chiropractic treatment do more good than harm to me?
- Chiropractic manipulation, so-called adjustment, is a main approach to most of patients in chiropractic offices. This is a well-trained technique to correct spinal segmental disorders anatomically or functionally. It may cause cracking sound like knuckle-craking, but following pain rarely occurs.
- Same as other treatment, adjustment does have contraindications that need to be identified before treatment begins. Other physical features and underlying diseases also need to be carefully considered, so as to select the most appropriate approach possible.
- In a nutshell, treatment plan has to be designed with special caution about individual conditions at present, and to be fully explained to the patient. This requires well-educated ability to evaluate patients in an efficient and timely manner.
- Patients should be aware that you are entitled, without hesitation, to consult any questions or requests to your doctor. WECARE doctors are more than welcome to discuss any concerns that you may have, and provide you of the best tailored treatment possible.
How long does the treatment take?
- First visit takes 1 hour for medical interview, clinical examination, consultation and treatment, and the following visits take 30 minutes.
How much does it cost?
- Treatment fee is between ¥5,500~¥6,500, depending on an individual condition. First visit charges you extra ¥3,000 for examination. Following visits do not include this examination fee.
- Due to legal system in Japan which has not supported yet, chiropractic may not be insured. However, the fact of long-run chiropractic offices indicates the quality of treatment provided. Otherwise, who would visit a costly office for ineffective care?
How many times do I need to visit?
- The number of visit and treatment depends on individuals, such as severity or duration of one's health problem, life style, age, vitality, work and financial conditions, and so on. It can also depend on how well a patient's body will respond to the treatment provided, and how much one does exercise prescribed rigorously and properly.
- WECARE is happy to discuss with each one of patients to decide as effective and satisfactory treatment plan as we can.
Can I receive chiropractic care even if I am pregnant or elderly, or have disease.?
- Almost all, from infants to elderlies, can receive chiropractic treatment because chiropractors identify a patient's problems and conceivable consequences to the treatment. Further, chiropractic technique is not fixed, but flexible enough to adapt a patient with variety of conditions.
- You may want to consult doctors any concerns you may have at anytime of your visits. Feel free to ask the doctors, and we do want to know more about you to offer the optimum care that we can.
