The short answer
Wellness care is ongoing chiropractic care after the original problem has settled, for people who would rather keep their spine and joints moving well than wait for the next flare-up. The load on your body does not stop when the pain does, and periodic care is how a lot of people stay ahead of it. We give you a recommendation based on your exam and how you are doing, and the decision stays yours.
The work that keeps you feeling well is not the same work that got you out of pain. Here is what ongoing care is for, who tends to value it, and what a sensible pace looks like.
What is wellness care?
Once an acute problem has calmed down, the strain that produced it has usually not gone anywhere: the same job, the same desk, the same miles. Wellness care is periodic visits chosen to stay ahead of that rather than to fix a specific complaint, the same way people keep up exercise or regular dental visits.
How often you come in is a clinical judgment. We set a pace from your exam and how you respond to care, and we continue to reassess as we go and adjust the frequency as needed.
Who tends to value it?
It suits people whose day-to-day life is hard on their body and who would rather stay ahead of trouble than react to it.
- People with physically demanding jobs or long hours at a desk.
- Active people and athletes who want to keep training comfortably.
- Anyone whose old problem tends to creep back when they let things slide.
- People who simply feel and move better with occasional, ongoing care.
Most people in this group came in with a problem, got it settled, and would rather not go through it a second time. To be clear, we want your care to be based on what is appropriate for you and your goals.
How long do people stay on it?
It depends on your goals. Some people genuinely feel and function better with periodic care and choose it for that reason, the same way they choose to keep exercising. Others come in a few times a year when they feel things tightening up. We give you our recommendation after the exam and revisit it as we go.
What does a plan look like?
Usually a spaced-out rhythm rather than frequent visits: a periodic check-in, adjusted to how you are doing and what your body is asking for. We continue to reassess as we go and adjust the frequency as needed.
What does it cost, and do you take insurance?
We’re a self-pay practice and don’t bill insurance. That keeps decisions about your care between you and Dr. Raquel, instead of being set by what a plan will cover. No referral is needed to book a first visit.

It depends on your goals. We give you a recommendation after the exam and revisit it as we go. Some people come a few times a year, others keep a steadier rhythm because their work asks a lot of them. The decision is always yours.
