“an ache between my shoulder blades”
8 quick questions about your own week, one at a time, and you get a score out of 100 and one next step. It takes about a minute. Nothing is collected and nothing is sent anywhere.
The part nobody explained
The mid back takes the load when the neck and shoulders sit forward, so the ache is downstream of a position rather than a local injury.
The muscle that hurts is usually the one working overtime, and pressing on a working muscle gives it a few hours off at most.
Because it is mild it rarely gets looked at, so the pattern that feeds it goes uncorrected for years.
We look before we touch
Digital X-ray on site covering the thoracic and cervical regions, read with you. We are looking at the position the mid back is being held in and what is upstream of it, because treating the sore band without that is temporary by design.
The first visit is the exam and the digital X-ray. Nothing is adjusted on it, because adjusting before looking is guessing. What the care itself costs is given to you in writing at the report of findings, before you decide.
What we would use on it
Which of these applies to your case comes out of the exam rather than off this page.
Two phases, and you are told which one you are in
Whatever is driving your mid-back pain, the shape of care here is the same and you are told which phase you are in the whole way through.
- Phase one
Correct what is driving it
Scoped before it starts. You are told how many visits it is built around, what is being measured, and when the re-exam happens, and you get that in writing with the price at the report of findings.
- The exam and the digital X-ray come first, so the plan answers to findings.
- A scheduled re-exam measures it rather than asking how your week went.
- When this phase is finished, you are told that it is finished.
- Phase two
Preserve what has been corrected
A body keeps loading, so a correction is something you keep rather than something you finish. What maintaining it looks like is explained with the reasons on the table, and it is a decision you make knowing what it is for.
- Discussed once the corrective phase is measured, not assumed at the start.
- You know what you are paying for and why, at every point.
- Nobody here will tell you a result holds forever on its own.
What patients said afterwards
The entire staff is so kind, welcoming, and truly cares about their patients.

Questions people ask about mid-back pain
This is pretty minor. Is it worth an appointment?
That is your call to make with information rather than without it. One visit gets it imaged and explained. If the answer is that it is postural and you need two things to do at your desk, that is what you will be told.
Will you just tell me to fix my posture?
Posture advice without a look at the structure is guessing. If the images show a correctable pattern you get a plan with a scope and a price. If they show a healthy spine being held badly, you get the shorter answer and you keep your money.
Do you bill insurance?
The practice is cash pay rather than insurance billed. Billing insurance means an insurer decides how many visits you are allowed and what counts as necessary, and it means the number is an estimate until a bill turns up months later. Paying the practice directly keeps that decision between you and your chiropractor, and it is why the plan and its price are put in writing before you agree to anything. HSA and FSA cards are accepted, and Care Credit is available.
