Fee Updates

After 13 years of practice, I'm updating my visit fees. Over the years, I've added functional medicine certification (200 hours), board eligibility in clinical nutrition (100 hours), pediatric and Webster certifications (200 hours), am currently working through functional immunology training and that's in addition to my clinical experiences, but my fees have been stuck in 2013. So here's what's changing:

Chiropractic Services:

(Effective January 1, 2026)

  • Adjustments: $60

  • New patient exams: $150

  • Re-exams: $75

Current Chiro Patients:

If you're currently in an active chiropractic care plan, you'll remain at current fees until your plan is complete.

Effective Immediately

  • Initial consultations (1 hour): $350

  • Follow-up visits (typically 20-30 min, but range from 15-45 min): $150

Current functional medicine patients: 

You will stay at current rates through March 31st, 2026 or completion of your current health goal, whichever comes first. I'm not going to change things on you mid-stream. If it's been awhile and you have a health concern you've been meaning to set up a time to discuss, now's the time before the fee increase will impact you.

New Functional Medicine Services:

Now time for the GREAT news!

This year Christmas is on me!

FREE Family Member Exams (Through January 9th)

If you've been trying to convince your spouse to give chiro care a try or have thought you really needed to get your other kids in, this is your moment.

 

Family members of current patients can start care with a complimentary consultation and exam (normally $120). And if they begin a care plan before January 1st, they'll be grandfathered in at current rates. So basically, get them in now to lock in that lower rate.

Wellness Packages for Current Patients

(Through December 31st)

My wellness patients are the backbone of this practice, and I want you to be able to stick with us at our current pricing. You can lock in our current $50 adjustment rate for all of 2026 by prepaying:

  • 12 visits for $600

  • 24 visits for $1,200

  • If you need more visits than this, just ask!

Packages are good through January 1, 2027, they're transferable to immediate family members, and we can take payment over the phone. Payments must be made by 12/31/2025.

 Call us to reserve your package: 217-347-5010

Why These Changes?

Honestly, I knew it was time for a change. I have truly worked hard year after year to expand my knowledge (and my team!) to support you in my capacity not just as chiropractor, but as a doctor.

For my functional medicine patients specifically: Same deal. I've been way underpriced for what I bring to the table, and continuing at those rates has created overscheduling which is leading me into burnout. I don't want that, and I know you don't either! I'd rather adjust now, continue work with patients dedicated to healing, and be here for you for the long haul.
