What new patients usually want to know.
If your question is not answered here, call the office. We will help you understand the best next step.
Do you serve Short Hills and surrounding towns?
Yes. The office is in downtown Millburn and regularly welcomes patients from Short Hills, Springfield, Summit, Maplewood, Livingston, and nearby communities.
Can I get a same-day chiropractic appointment?
Same-day appointments are often available during regular office hours, but they are not guaranteed. Call (973) 376-5522 and we will tell you the earliest available time.
What happens at the first chiropractic visit?
Your first visit begins with a health history, conversation about your goals, and a focused examination. X-rays are available on-site when clinically indicated. Dr. Kaiser will explain what he finds and whether chiropractic care is appropriate.
Do you accept health insurance?
The office works with many insurance plans on an out-of-network basis. Benefits and patient responsibility vary by plan, so the office can verify coverage and explain expected costs before care begins.
Do you offer non-surgical spinal decompression?
Yes. Computer-guided spinal decompression is available for selected disc-related neck pain, back pain, or sciatica. It is recommended only after an evaluation determines it may be appropriate.
Do you offer shockwave therapy and cold laser therapy?
Yes. Both are available in the Millburn office. Dr. Kaiser may include one of these non-invasive therapies when it fits the condition and care plan.
Do you offer Y-strap adjustments?
Yes. Dr. Kaiser offers Y-strap adjustments for selected patients when appropriate after an evaluation. The technique is not right for every neck or spine condition, and your comfort, risks, and alternatives are discussed first.
Will I be adjusted on the first visit?
Not automatically. Treatment depends on your history, examination, comfort, and whether additional information such as X-rays is needed first. The priority is making a clinically appropriate recommendation.
