Fees, x-rays, and new-patient specifics
Exam fees, x-ray policy, and any current new-patient details are best handled by the office directly, since they depend on your situation. Give us a call at (805) 581-2310 and we will walk you through it.
Additional services
Most insurance plans cover chiropractic care only. Our other therapies, including Assisted Stretch Therapy, Massage Therapy, Spinal Decompression, PEMF, Cold Laser Therapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Cupping, IASTM, and Kinesiology Taping, are available as optional services. They are billed separately and are not included in the cost of chiropractic examinations, adjustments, or treatment plans, so they are self-pay unless your plan specifies otherwise. Call (805) 581-2310 for current pricing and availability.
Insurance coverage varies a lot by plan. The office can verify what is covered for you, just give us a call.

How does your care work?
Care starts with an evaluation. Dr. DeCloedt looks at what is going on and how you move, then talks through a plan built around your situation and goals. The right plan, and how often you come in, is determined after your exam.
What conditions do you commonly support?
Patients come in for low back pain, neck pain, headaches, sacroiliac pain, sports injuries, auto-accident recovery, repetitive-use injuries, chronic pain, and pregnancy or pediatric care. Every situation is different, and the doctor evaluates what is appropriate during your exam.
What is the practice’s philosophy?
Rather than waiting until something is wrong, the focus here is on improving your health to reduce the risk of pain and illness in the first place, using the least invasive techniques that work, tailored to you.
What are your hours?
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday: 8 AM to 12 PM and 3 PM to 6 PM. Closed Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday.
