🧭 WHAT TO EXPECT AT this appointment
This visit is designed to help you understand what’s causing your back, neck, or nerve symptoms — and whether gentle, non-surgical care may be the right next step for you.
Our focus is clarity, not pressure.
👇 What happens during your visit
🏥 Step 1: Warm Welcome & Priority Check-In
When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by our team and checked in.
✨ VIP Priority patients are checked in first
🪑 Comfortable, calm environment
⏱ Minimal waiting our goal is to make sure you feel relaxed, heard, and respected from the moment you walk in.
🧠 Step 2: In-Depth Spinal & Nerve Evaluation + Discovery Treatment
This is not a rushed or one-size-fits-all exam.
During your visit, we will:
🔍 Review your health history and the progression of your back, neck, or nerve symptoms
🧍♂️ Assess movement, sensation, balance, circulation, and nerve function
📊 Identify possible structural and lifestyle factors contributing to your pain or nerve irritation
⚙️ Perform a discovery treatment, when appropriate, to see how your spine and nerves respond
We focus on how your symptoms affect your daily life — not just imaging or test results.
🔬 Step 3: Spinal Imaging Review (When Medically Necessary)
If indicated, we may recommend spinal X-rays to gain a clearer understanding of your spinal structure and alignment.
This helps us:
🧠 Identify structural issues that may be contributing to nerve irritation or pain
🦴 Assess disc spacing, joint integrity, and areas of degeneration or stress
📊 Correlate imaging findings with your symptoms and exam results
X-rays are only used when clinically appropriate and never taken unnecessarily.
These findings help guide our recommendations and determine whether conservative, non-surgical care may be appropriate for your condition.
No pressure. No guessing. Just clear, informed guidance.
🧩 Step 4: Personalized Relief Plan
If we determine we can help, you’ll receive:
📋 A personalized care roadmap
📆 Clear expectations and timelines
💬 Time to ask questions and understand your options
You’ll leave knowing:
✔️ What may be contributing to your pain
✔️ What options exist
✔️ What the next steps could look like

Have been going to this practice for over 2 years now. Any provider you receive is well educated beyond their skillset. All the staff is extremely professional and caring. I have referred several friends & family for different reasons. From back issues, to flare ups, to migraines, wanting to lose weight, or feel better about your appearance, this practice has you covered! If you haven't done an IV treatment or need a 2nd opinion for back problems this is the place to go! Andrea is who I see & she is beyond welcoming, friendly, professional, and can tell if my medications are working, it’s always great to have a 2nd providers feedback! I absolutely think if you’re hesitant about coming here don't be! Every Doctor, Practitioner, Chiropractor, Front Desk Member, Assistant has the best attitude & information! I am so happy I found this practice because of my Doctor & friends! This place is truly grand!
If you're looking for a chiropractor where you pay $30-50 to strictly crack your back - in and out in 5 minutes, this may not be the place for you. The staff is so friendly, and they explain everything well. This is a practice that integrates your WHOLE body health with a process of targeted methods for wellness, not just an adjustment. I've been having issues with my lower back and sciatic nerve for the last 2 weeks. Barely able to walk or sit for longer than 15 mins without extreme pain. Today was my first full visit (after x rays and consultation), where they have you do a few "warm ups", to get the blood flowing and the muscles opened and relaxed. The end of my session consisted of a targeted massage by Ashley (I think that was her name!) And some electro therapy with roller and ice. I felt 10x better immediately. A few hours later and I'm still moving around better than I was yesterday. Doctor is well-versed and explains your condition in layman's terms so you understand. Don't be afraid to ask questions, they aren't condescending and are super nice and laid back, but professional. Highly recommend!
Dr. Sprouse and Dr. Aki are both great individuals. I enjoy the atmosphere of this place. The entire team is kind and respectful when addressing clients. It makes me feel comfortable. I am truly grateful to have such a team to assist me in my recovery. The culture of the place speaks volumes of Integrated Body and Medicine. To the whole team, Thank You. Yes, I do and will recommend someone to Kennedy Avenue Chiropractic in Highland at the Homestead Plaza.
Here are a few more common ones we hear before a visit.

What should I wear for my session?
You remain fully clothed. We recommend comfortable attire that allows you to lie still for 30 to 45 minutes.
Can I drive home after treatment?
Yes, though we recommend a short walk immediately after your session to allow your spine to "reset" before sitting in a car.
Is there an age limit for this therapy?
Generally, it is for patients aged 18 and older. We have successfully treated patients well into their 90s.
How long do the results last?
Results are typically long-term, often lasting two to five years or longer, provided you follow post-care maintenance and exercise guidelines.
What makes me a "bad" candidate for this?
Exclusion criteria include pregnancy, severe osteoporosis, spinal fractures, or having metallic rods and screws in the spine.
Do I need an MRI first?
A recent MRI can help the doctor to determine the exact level of the disc issue. However, MRIs are not required, and we have successfully treated several patients without an MRI.
Will I need maintenance after the program ends?
We often suggest a "maintenance" visit once a month or once every few months to keep the disc hydrated and prevent future flare-ups.
What is the Priority Care Upgrade and do I need it?
The Priority Care Upgrade is an optional way to prepay your consultation, which helps reserve your appointment time and gives you priority access on the day of your visit.
Patients who choose Priority Care receive:
• Priority check-in with minimal waiting
• Extended consultation time
• Faster access to next steps, if care is recommended
You do not need to upgrade to be seen — your standard consultation is still available without prepayment.
The Priority Care Upgrade is not an extra fee.
It is simply the cost of your consultation paid in advance, and is applied directly to your visit.
Many patients choose to prepay because it:
• Helps secure their appointment time
• Reduces waiting on the day of their visit
• Allows us to prioritize their care and scheduling
Our goal is to make the experience smooth, respectful of your time, and as valuable as possible.
What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance so we can adjust our schedule. With proper notice, your prepaid consultation can be rescheduled or credited toward a future visit. Missed or same-day cancellations may result in forfeiture of the consultation fee due to reserved appointment time.
