Compassionate Care,
Personalized Treatment,
A Commitment to Helping You Feel Your Best
At Balanced Body Chiropractic, we believe exceptional care starts with listening. Every patient has unique goals, concerns, and challenges. Our mission is to understand your needs and provide personalized chiropractic care that helps you move better, feel better, and enjoy life again.
Rather than rushing patients through appointments, Dr. Hagner believes every person deserves the time, attention, and individualized care needed to understand what's causing their discomfort.
Whether you're experiencing back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, or recovering from an injury, his goal is to help you restore movement, reduce pain, and improve your overall quality of life.
Patients often say they appreciate not only the care they receive, but also the time taken to explain their condition, answer questions, and develop a treatment plan that makes sense for their goals.

Clear answers to common questions from new and current patients at Balanced Body Chiropractic.
Healthcare decisions are easier when you understand your options. Here are answers to some of the questions patients frequently ask.
Is Chiropractic Care Safe?
Chiropractic care is widely used for certain musculoskeletal conditions.
Like any healthcare intervention, it has potential benefits and risks.
Dr. Hagner considers your health history, symptoms and examination findings before determining whether chiropractic care is appropriate and can discuss potential risks, benefits and alternatives with you.

What Happens During My First Visit?
Your first visit generally includes a discussion of your symptoms and health history followed by an appropriate examination.
Dr. Hagner can then discuss his findings and whether chiropractic care is appropriate.
Will Insurance Cover Chiropractic Care?
Many insurance plans include chiropractic benefits, but coverage varies considerably.
Contact Balanced Body with your insurance information if you'd like help understanding your options.
How Many Visits Will I Need?
There isn't one correct number.
Recommendations depend upon your condition, symptoms, examination findings, goals and response to care.
We want treatment recommendations to reflect your needs, not a predetermined schedule applied to everyone.

Does a Chiropractic Adjustment Hurt?
Experiences vary depending upon the condition and technique being used.
Many patients tolerate chiropractic adjustments well. If you're uncomfortable or apprehensive about a technique, tell Dr. Hagner so you can discuss your concerns before treatment.
Can Chiropractic Help Headaches?
Certain headaches, particularly cervicogenic headaches, originate from structures in the neck.
However, headaches have many potential causes, and migraine is a neurological disorder.
An evaluation can help determine whether musculoskeletal factors may be contributing.

Can Chiropractic Help Sciatica?
Chiropractic care may be appropriate for some people experiencing sciatic symptoms, depending upon the underlying cause.
Do I Need a Referral?
Many people can contact a chiropractor directly, although individual insurance plans may have their own requirements.
What If Chiropractic Isn't Appropriate for Me?
If your history or examination suggests chiropractic treatment isn't appropriate or that additional medical evaluation is warranted, Dr. Hagner should discuss that with you.
The goal is appropriate care—not simply providing an adjustment to everyone who walks through the door.
