We accept most private insurance plans, Medicare, Washington Labor & Industries, and we are personal injury providers. We treat people of all ages, including infants and children. Dr. Melissa Lockhart, Spokane Valley Chiropractor, believes that as a chiropractor, she must be trained and equipped to make a full medical evaluation and assessment of your case in order to provide you the best care, if chiropractic is the appropriate treatment option, or to make an appropriate referral, if it isn't.
The first is the old-school, limited belief that chiropractors should adjust the spine and let the body heal itself. They have no responsibility to understand human health overall, to worry about what's wrong with their patient, or to refer out to other types of providers. The second view, the one we hold, is that chiropractors are medical professionals and should be able to find and identify any medical problem, even if they're not responsible for treating it, and to refer the patient out.
This is why we conduct thorough medical evaluation and examination, and why we take a thorough history of you and your family's health.
