POLICIES

At Salt & Spine, care is designed to be thoughtful, individualized, and respectful of both your time and ours. The following policies help ensure clarity, fairness, and the best possible experience for every patient.

 

Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy

Because care is provided by appointment only and travel time is reserved specifically for you, we ask for advance notice if you need to cancel or reschedule.

  • At least 24 hours’ notice is required for cancellations or rescheduling

  • Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice may be subject to a fee

  • Missed appointments (“no-shows”) may be charged the full visit rate

This policy allows us to respect time reserved for your care and continue offering flexible scheduling to all patients.

We understand that life happens, and emergencies are always handled with discretion and compassion.

Payment Policy

Salt & Spine is a cash-based practice.

  • Payment is due at the time of service

  • Accepted forms of payment include debit/credit card and electronic payment options (Venmo, Cash App, PayPal) for convenience

  • Insurance is not billed directly

Receipts may be provided for personal records or reimbursement purposes when applicable.

Insurance & Reimbursement

Salt & Spine does not participate with insurance networks

This allows care to remain:

  • Patient-centered

  • Flexible

  • Free from insurance-driven limitations

Patients are welcome to submit receipts to their provider. Patients may also use HSA or FSA accounts when applicable.

Care Plans & Recommendations

Care at Salt & Spine is never one-size-fits-all.

  • Recommendations are based on your goals, clinical findings, and response to care

  • There are no pre-set treatment plans or pressure to commit to ongoing care

  • Visit packages or membership options may be discussed when appropriate

Your autonomy and informed decision-making are always respected

Scope of Care

Chiropractic care focuses on evaluation and treatment of musculoskeletal function and movement-related concerns.

  • Care is not a substitute for emergency medical services

Pediatric & Pregnancy Care

Salt & Spine provides care across the lifespan.

  • Pediatric care uses gentle, age-appropriate techniques
