01

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic is a natural form of health care that uses spinal adjustments to correct misalignments and restore proper function to the nervous system, helping your body heal naturally. These misalignments or subluxations, as we call them, can cause poor function and health, even in areas far from the spine; in the extremities. Spinal adjustments are the act of implementing precision force to a specific part of the spine, skull, extremities (hands, feet, elbows, shoulders, knees) correcting the misalignments, permitting normal nerve transmission to allow your body to heal itself.

Newly added services: Dr. Trish has completed a certification to analyze and address concussions in sports among kids and teens per the Chiropractic Associations.

Nutritional Counseling

Nutritional Counseling is performed in office by Dr. Trish and is a specific type of testing called Meridian Autonomic Testing, also called MAT.

Meridian Autonomic Testing is a unique muscle testing technique based on acupuncture points located on the surface of the body. The testing is non-invasive. These points relate to systems, organs, and glands and help to determine nutritional requirements based Whole Food Nutrition and Herbal Concentrates.

Please note: This test requires a separate appointment and for you to bring in any supplements you are currently taking.

For more information, go to the following website by Dr. Frank Cucolo and Dr. Matthew Cucolo: mat-testing.com: Meridian Autonomic Testing.

Hair Analysis

Trace mineral analysis is a test which measures the mineral content of your hair. This can show toxicities and imbalances in the body. By taking discreet samples of your hair, we collect three months of data. This data shows the ups and downs in the levels of your hormones and nutrients. Information such as this can be used to determine what minerals are abundant and which ones are lacking in your body.

The procedure for this testing includes creating a separate appointment in our office. At this appointment, one of the office staff will take a few discreet cuts starting at the base of your hair, taking only enough to tip this scale (pictured). The sample will then be sent out in a packet with a paper you briefly fill out. The results should come back within a few weeks.

Ask us at the office for the informational packet.

The chart below shows common procedure codes along with the normal cost for each code, followed by the ChiroHealthUSA fees. Office charges are subject to change due to the economy. This program enables patients to come to the office and receive services without any insurance restrictions. These ChiroHealthUSA visits are never submitted to your insurance company.

Massage Plan

The Individual Massage Wellness Plan is a cost effective way for patients who are interested in maintaining spinal health through massage in between treatment plans with Dr. Leheny. Insurance does not cover therapy when you have reached maximum medical improvement or when not following a treatment plan under Dr. Leheny's care. Therefore, the financial responsibility goes to the patient. The plan is being offered as an opportunity for loyal patients to save money.

  • The Individual Massage Plan will be effective for 12 months from date of purchase (i.e. purchase date 1/1/22, expiration date is 1/1/23). Patient may use his/her visits as he/she pleases. However, there is no refund, partial or full, if the patient does not use up all his/her visits by the expiration date. Appointments are required.
  • The Individual Massage Plan is not covered by insurance and is legal because it is paid in advance and not reimbursable, partially or in full.
  • Payment in full via check, cash, debit card, or credit card is expected at time of purchase.
  • The Individual Massage Plan is being offered with 3 choices as follows: 3 pack, 5 pack, and/or 12 pack.

All prices are subject to change. Updated: 8/29/2023
