Frequently Asked Questions
If you're searching for answers about chronic back pain, recurring back pain, neck pain, sciatica, or other spine-related conditions, you're not alone. Many patients come to Denver Spine & Performance after months—or even years—of frustration with treatments that provided only temporary relief. Our clinic specializes in comprehensive spine care designed to identify the underlying causes of persistent pain, not just treat symptoms.
Through a detailed evaluation, movement assessment, and personalized treatment plan, we help patients understand why their pain developed, why it continues to return, and what can be done to achieve lasting improvement. Whether you're preparing for your first visit, wondering about insurance coverage, or looking for a spine specialist in Denver who focuses on long-term solutions rather than temporary fixes, you'll find answers to our most frequently asked questions below.
What Should I Expect During My First Visit?
Your first visit at Denver Spine & Performance is a comprehensive evaluation designed to identify the root cause of your back pain, neck pain, sciatica, or recurring spine condition. During this 60–75 minute appointment, we'll review your health history, discuss your symptoms and goals, perform a detailed movement and spine assessment, and evaluate any previous imaging if available.
Unlike a typical chiropractic appointment, our focus is understanding why your pain developed, why it continues to return, and what can be done to achieve lasting relief. You'll leave with a clear understanding of your condition, personalized treatment recommendations, and a plan designed to help you recover and stay active long-term.
Where Are You Located?

Do You Accept Insurance?
Denver Spine & Performance is an out-of-network provider and does not bill insurance directly. This allows us to focus on providing personalized, comprehensive care without the restrictions often imposed by insurance companies.
If your insurance plan offers out-of-network benefits, we can provide a detailed receipt, known as a superbill, that you may submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Coverage and reimbursement amounts vary by plan, so we recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to learn more about your specific benefits.
Will I Receive Treatment On My First Visit?
In most cases, yes.
After completing your evaluation, we will typically begin treatment when appropriate.
Treatment recommendations may include:
Manual Therapy
Mobility Interventions
Activity Modification
Pain Education
Self-Management Strategies
The specific approach depends entirely on your individual presentation.
Do You Only Perform Spinal Adjustments?
No.
While spinal manipulation can be a valuable treatment option, it is only one component of comprehensive spine care.
Depending on your needs, treatment may also include:
Guided Movement
Rehabilitation Exercises
Strength Exercises
Lifestyle Modifications
Load Management Strategies
Long-Term Prevention Strategies
Our approach is centered around solving problems—not simply delivering adjustments.
Do I Need Ongoing Treatment Forever?
Absolutely not.
One of the most common frustrations patients have is feeling dependent on treatment.
Our goal is the opposite.
We aim to help patients:
Understand Their Condition
Learn How To Manage Flare-Ups
Build Resilience
Reduce Dependence On Passive Care
Develop Confidence In Movement
While some patients benefit from periodic supportive care, we do not use long-term contracts or pressure patients into ongoing treatment plans.
How Long Will It Take To Feel Better?
Every patient is different, though most of our patients see significant improvement in their function and pain symptoms within 6-12 visits when they follow their personalized treatment plan.
Our goal is to get you pain-free and back to doing what you love as quickly as possible.
Why Do Patients Choose Denver Spine & Performance?
Many of our patients tell us they felt like previous appointments focused primarily on treating symptoms rather than understanding why symptoms kept returning. Our process places significant emphasis on:
Comprehensive Movement Assesment
Identifying Pain Triggers
Understanding Flare-Ups
Evaluating Lifestyle Contributors
Assessing Exercise and Activity Demands
Creating Long-Term Solutions
For patients who have tried multiple treatments without lasting success, this often provides a completely different perspective on their condition.
