Question 1

What happens at the first visit?

Accepted Answer

Your first visit starts with a health history and movement assessment. Dr. Fair explains what he finds in plain English, answers your questions, and discusses the next step. A Gonstead adjustment or recovery modality is used only when it is appropriate for what he finds. No pressure and no commitment beyond the visit you booked.

Question 2

How is this different from other chiropractors?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Fair looks at the sore area and how the rest of the body may be contributing. He uses the Gonstead system, Active Release Technique, and movement assessment when they fit. The goal is to explain the pattern, choose a reasonable first step, and recheck the response instead of making assumptions.

Question 3

Do I need a referral?

Accepted Answer

No referral is needed. You can book directly. If you are being referred by an attorney, please call the office at (209) 521-1122.

Question 4

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

We are not in-network with most insurance companies, with the exception of Medicare. However, many insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits. Our office will contact your insurance company on your behalf to determine your coverage and bill them directly for covered services.

Question 5

How many visits will I need?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the history, examination, daily demands, and how you respond. Dr. Fair will explain the starting recommendation after the evaluation and recheck progress rather than promise a fixed number of visits.

Question 6

Is chiropractic adjustment painful?

Accepted Answer

Gonstead adjustments are delivered with a specific setup based on the examination. Active Release Technique can feel intense over a sensitive area. Dr. Fair will explain what he is doing, adjust to your tolerance, and recheck how you respond. No response is guaranteed.

Question 7

What is the new patient offer?

Accepted Answer

The first chiropractic evaluation is $60 and includes a health history, examination, movement screening, findings review, and an adjustment when appropriate. A focused ART appointment is $50 and can be booked on its own. You can review the service and price before confirming.

Question 8

Is there parking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, free parking is available at the building. The office is at 1421 Standiford Ave, STE B, Modesto, CA 95350, just east of Highway 99 via the Standiford Ave exit.

Question 9

Do you see patients from Turlock, Ceres, or other nearby cities?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most patients from Turlock, Ceres, Salida, Riverbank, Oakdale, Ripon, and Escalon are within a 10 to 25 minute drive of the Modesto office.
