Find Answers & Take Control of Your Healing

Understanding your health is the first step toward lasting relief.

At Mountain Movement Center, we believe that clarity leads to confidence, which is why we’ve answered the most common questions about our treatments, approach, and what to expect on your journey to better movement and well-being.

Chiropractic and Muscle Care

Insurance, Costs & Care Plans

How many visits does it take to resolve a condition?

Each case is unique. Recent injuries? You’ll likely see fast results. Chronic pain for years? It may take longer. If you’re not improving, we re-evaluate and adjust the plan or refer you to another specialist.

Can I use my Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flex Card?

Yes! Most of our treatments are HSA/FSA eligible, allowing you to use pre-tax dollars for your care.

Once I start chiropractic care, do I have to go forever?

Absolutely not! Our goal is to fix the root issue and get you back to moving pain-free. We design treatment plans that typically last 4-12 visits over 4-6 weeks depending on the severity of your condition and how long you have had it.

Will my insurance cover treatment?

We provide a free benefits check to help you understand your coverage. Many have some level of coverage. Some of our specialized treatments are not fully covered by insurance. That said, the cost of fixing your back is often less than a few takeout meals! And for the time spent with a doctor we are the most fair priced in Greenville.

What should I expect from my first visit?

Your first visit includes:
✔️ A detailed movement analysis
✔️ Neurological & soft tissue testing
✔️ Personalized treatment plan
✔️ Hands-on treatment (if applicable)
We focus on getting you relief and a clear path forward right away!

Do I need a referral to see you?

Nope! We are primary care physicians for muscle, joint, and nervous system issues, meaning you can book directly with us.

How much does a chiropractic visit cost without insurance?

The cost of a chiropractic visit without insurance varies depending on location, provider expertise, and the type of treatment needed. At Mountain Movement Chiropractic & Natural Health, we structure our pricing to be affordable and transparent. An initial visit, which includes a full assessment, movement analysis, and personalized treatment plan, generally ranges from $100 to $200. Follow-up visits typically range between $50 and $100, depending on the complexity of care.

We also offer tiered choices of care, meaning patients can choose a level of service that fits their budget while still receiving high-quality treatment. If you’re curious about costs for your specific needs, you can reach out to us for a personalized quote.

Treatment Approach & Customization

Are you going to x-ray me?

We only recommend X-rays when absolutely necessary. If your case warrants imaging, we will refer you to a trusted local imaging center we have a relationship with.

Do you only treat spine problems?

No! We treat a wide range of conditions including:
✔️ Sports injuries (knee pain, tennis elbow, shoulder issues)
✔️ Headaches, TMJ dysfunction & dizziness
✔️ Posture imbalances & movement dysfunctions
✔️ Fascia-related pain & chronic tension

What if I don’t want my back cracked?

No problem! We offer multiple levels of care beyond traditional adjustments, including Neuro Reset Therapy, soft tissue techniques, laser therapy, and movement correction. You can request "no popping" and still get great results!

Nerve Pain with Cold Laser therapy

Can chiropractic care help with dizziness or vertigo?

Yes! Many cases of dizziness stem from cervical spine dysfunction and inner ear imbalances. We offer:
✔️ Spinal and muscular rebalancing
✔️ Vestibular retraining exercises
✔️ Soft tissue techniques for neck tension relief

I’ve already had surgery. Can you still help me?

Absolutely. With our laser therapy and soft tissue training, we are often sought out after physical therapy to do a final phase of recovery and treatment. We also find that many can improve by keeping the areas around the surgery aligned.

What degrees do your doctors hold?

Our team has extensive training beyond chiropractic care:
✔️ Doctor of Chiropractic (DC)
✔️ Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC) - Two of our doctors
✔️ B.S. in Exercise Physiology - Founder
✔️ Advanced soft tissue & neurological movement reprogramming training

Do you work with medical doctors and specialists?

Yes! We collaborate with orthopedists, physical therapists, primary care doctors, and other specialists to ensure you get the best care possible.

Special Populations & Unique Cases

I’ve had surgery before. Can I still receive treatment?

Yes! We help post-surgical patients regain movement, break up scar tissue restrictions, and restore proper function.

Do you treat kids and families?

Yes! We help kids, parents, and grandparents with everything from postural issues to sports injuries and pregnancy discomfort.

How do you help people who are skeptical about chiropractic care?

Many of our patients were skeptical at first—especially those who have tried traditional chiropractic, PT, or massage with no lasting results. We combine:
✔️ Muscle & fascia work
✔️ Neurological movement therapy (Neuro Reset)
✔️ Targeted rehab drills
✔️ Science-backed chiropractic care
Most patients feel a difference within a few visits!

Performance & Recovery Optimization

How do you help people with chronic muscle tightness who have tried everything?

If stretching and massage haven’t helped, the problem is likely neurological, not just muscular. We focus on:
✔️ Rewiring movement patterns so muscles stop overcompensating
✔️ Breaking the cycle of tension at the brain level
✔️ Strengthening weak areas to prevent recurrence
We also offer massage, laser therapy, and take-home recovery tools.

Can chiropractic care help with knee pain or plantar fasciitis?

Yes! We analyze how your foot, ankle, and knee interact and use joint work, movement drills, and laser therapy to reduce pain and improve function.

Do I need to stop working out while receiving treatment?

Not necessarily! In most cases, we help you modify rather than eliminate movement so you can keep training while healing.

What makes Mountain Movement Center different?

We blend sports medicine, movement science, and advanced muscle therapy to fix pain at its source—not just mask symptoms. We offer:
✔️ Neuro Reset Therapy (fascial & nervous system work)
✔️ Sports chiropractic & movement optimization
✔️ Laser therapy & soft tissue work
✔️ Custom rehab & performance programs
We’re here to get you moving better, faster. Not just a quick crack and send-off.

Functional Medicine

Insurance & Costs

Do I have to commit to a huge buy-in or membership to get started?

No! We offer a “take it as you go” approach, meaning you can start at any level and decide how much testing or treatment you want.

Will my insurance cover this?

We provide a free benefits check, but many of our specialized treatments are not covered. However, we often find that our care costs less than three takeout meals and delivers long-term health benefits.

How much does a Functional Medicine visit cost?

• Tier 1 (Initial Evaluation + Qest 4 Analysis): $200
• Follow-up Visits: $100
• Check-ups/Zoom Calls: $70
• Tier 2 (Includes Functional Blood Chemistry + Qest 4): $600
• Tier 3 (Total Optimization with advanced testing): Varies based on lab selection
We tailor each plan to your needs—no unnecessary tests or treatments.

Testing & Diagnosis

What is the Qest 4?

The Qest 4 is a bioenergetic testing system based on the principle that your body emits frequency signatures that can indicate imbalances.
✔️ Similar to how acupuncturists read pulses to assess organ health
✔️ Uses a non-invasive scan to detect energetic imbalances
✔️ Helps guide customized nutritional, homeopathic, and energetic prescriptions
It’s an additional functional tool to complement traditional lab testing.

What lab testing companies do you use?

We partner with leading functional medicine labs, including:
✔️ Dutch Test (Advanced hormone & adrenal analysis)
✔️ Diagnostechs (Salivary hormone & stress markers)
✔️ Genova Diagnostics (Comprehensive gut, toxin & metabolic testing)
✔️ Quest Labs (Standard blood work)
✔️ Qest 4 (Bioenergetic frequency analysis)
✔️ GI Map (Gut microbiome & pathogen analysis)
We select the most relevant tests based on your symptoms, history, and health goals.

Treatment Approach

Do you prescribe to a specific diet?

We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all diet but instead use various dietary frameworks based on your body's needs, including:
✔️ Elimination Diet (to uncover food sensitivities)
✔️ FODMAP Diet (for gut issues like IBS or SIBO)
✔️ Weston A. Price/Ancestral Eating (for nutrient density)
✔️ Hormetic Eating (to optimize immune and metabolic resilience)
Each plan is customized to your body, lifestyle, and health goals.

Do you help with weight loss?

Yes, but our approach is different from standard weight-loss programs.
✔️ We don’t focus on calorie counting or macro tracking
✔️ We help you intuitively eat and support your body’s natural rhythms
✔️ Our Restoration Plan helps reset stress, inflammation, and metabolism
✔️ When your body feels safe and supported, weight naturally stabilizes
Our goal is long-term health and metabolic balance—not crash diets.

Do you only give out supplements?

No! While targeted supplementation plays a role, we focus on a whole-body approach, including:
✔️ Food & nutrition adjustments
✔️ Lifestyle changes
✔️ Laser therapy for inflammation & pain relief
✔️ Massage therapy for stress reduction & fascia balance
✔️ Homeopathics & energetic prescriptions for deeper healing
Our goal is to restore balance naturally, not overload you with pills.

Hormones & Metabolic Health

Do you offer hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?

No, we don’t jump straight into HRT. Instead, we first optimize the upstream systems that affect hormone balance:
✔️ Gut health (nutrient absorption & microbiome support)
✔️ Thyroid function (metabolism & energy regulation)
✔️ Brain & adrenal health (stress response & cortisol balance)
If, after these foundational corrections, hormone replacement is needed, we refer you to trusted specialists.

Our Approach to Common Conditions

How do you approach IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)?

IBS isn’t just about food—it’s about gut-brain communication and inflammation. We assess:
✔️ Food triggers & intolerances (dairy, gluten, high-FODMAPs)
✔️ Gut microbiome balance (testing for bacterial overgrowth or dysbiosis)
✔️ Nervous system regulation (since stress can worsen symptoms)
✔️ Targeted supplementation (like digestive enzymes or herbal antimicrobials)
We focus on long-term relief, not just symptom suppression.

How do you approach adrenal health?

We focus on restoring adrenal function, not just masking fatigue. Our approach includes:
✔️ Cortisol rhythm testing to assess adrenal patterns
✔️ Nutrient support (B5, magnesium, vitamin C) for adrenal function
✔️ Stress management techniques to reduce chronic overload
✔️ Balancing blood sugar to prevent adrenal burnout
We help reset your body's stress response naturally.

How do you approach bloating?

Bloating isn’t just about eating too much—it’s often a sign of digestive dysfunction. We check:
✔️ Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
✔️ Food sensitivities (gluten, dairy, FODMAPs)
✔️ Enzyme & bile production (to ensure proper digestion)
✔️ Gut motility (to address slow digestion or fermentation issues)
We create a customized plan to help you beat bloating for good.

How do you approach brain fog?

Brain fog isn’t just about memory—it’s about how your brain receives energy. We look at:
✔️ Blood sugar regulation (to prevent glucose crashes)
✔️ Nutrient deficiencies (B12, iron, DHA, choline)
✔️ Toxic load (heavy metals, mold, or inflammation affecting the brain)
✔️ Gut-brain connection (since gut imbalances can impact cognition)
We support mental clarity with nutrition, detox strategies, and lifestyle changes.

How do you approach general digestive issues?

We go beyond simple acid reflux or bloating and evaluate:
✔️ Stomach acid levels (low acid can mimic high acid symptoms)
✔️ Enzyme production & gallbladder function
✔️ Gut lining integrity (for leaky gut & inflammation)
✔️ Microbial balance (to address dysbiosis or infections)
We tailor solutions to restore gut health and digestion.

Healing Process & Customization

How long does it take to see results?

Healing time depends on your condition and how long it’s been present. In general:
✔️ Acute conditions: noticeable improvements in weeks
✔️ Chronic conditions: 3-9 weeks of targeted therapy before seeing significant changes
✔️ Hormonal/metabolic resets: 3-6 months for full recalibration
The more you commit to the process, the faster and more lasting your results will be!

Can functional medicine help with stress, anxiety, or sleep issues?

Yes! Chronic stress affects your hormones, digestion, immune system, and brain function. We address this by:
✔️ Testing adrenal & neurotransmitter function
✔️ Using targeted nutrition & herbal support
✔️ Resetting the nervous system with movement & laser therapy
✔️ Guiding better sleep habits & relaxation techniques
Our goal is to help your body regulate itself naturally, without dependency on pharmaceuticals.

Can I ask for special requests during my visits, like ‘no popping’ adjustments?

Yes! Check out our Day Method Page to see our different levels of care, including gentle, non-force techniques.

Do I need to see a medical doctor first, or should I come to you first?

We are primary care physicians in the functional medicine world. If you’re looking for a root-cause approach, you can start with us!

Myofascial and Massage Therapy Services

Why is your myofascial therapy different from traditional myofascial and massage techniques?

Our approach is unique because we don’t just “beat up” fascia. We use the Barnes Method for gentle, sustained fascial release, as well as our proprietary Neuro Reset, which resets fascial and muscle patterns rather than just breaking up adhesions. We also incorporate Graston and IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) with motion, making the treatment more functional and effective. Additionally, we’re trained in Active Release Techniques (ART) and Trigenics, both of which retrain muscle movement patterns, rather than just applying passive release.

How does Graston/IASTM with motion improve results?

Unlike traditional scraping techniques that can be aggressive, we combine instrument-assisted techniques with movement, which helps retrain muscles while releasing adhesions. This method allows for better mobility, less post-treatment soreness, and longer-lasting results.

How is your approach different from deep tissue massage?

We do both! But we focus on reprogramming the nervous system and fascial tension patterns. Deep tissue massage can be effective, but if done incorrectly, it may cause more tightness. Our techniques, including Neuro Reset, ART, and Trigenics, focus on improving movement and function rather than just temporarily relieving tension.

What is Neuro Reset, and how does it help?

Neuro Reset is a specialized method that retrains the fascia and muscles to release tension at the neurological level. It’s not about forcefully breaking up tissue; instead, we work with the nervous system to create lasting changes in muscle coordination and movement patterns.

Do I have to see the chiropractor to get treatment?

No, our massage therapist is highly trained in assessing and treating muscular and fascial issues independently. However, if your case would benefit from chiropractic care, we may recommend a collaborative approach.

Do you give corrective exercises or homework?

Yes! For many patients, combining soft tissue work with specific mobility drills, strength exercises, or movement retraining helps maintain results. We also provide guidance on self-myofascial techniques and stretching to support long-term improvements.

Do you use laser therapy with soft tissue treatments?

Yes, we often combine laser therapy with myofascial work to help reduce inflammation, speed up recovery, and enhance tissue healing. This is especially helpful for chronic injuries, post-surgical recovery, and stubborn areas of tension.

What is your massage therapist trained in?

Our massage therapist has extensive training in:
• Myofascial Release (Barnes Method)
• Swedish Massage
• Trigger Point Therapy
• Craniosacral Therapy
• Active Release Techniques (ART)
• Trigenics Neuromuscular Therapy
• Cupping & IASTM
• Sports and Recovery Massage

How do I know if I need soft tissue work, chiropractic, or both?

If your issue is muscle- or fascia-related (tightness, trigger points, poor mobility, or pain from overuse), soft tissue therapy is a great place to start. If your problem involves joint dysfunction, misalignment, or nerve-related pain, chiropractic may be beneficial. In many cases, combining both leads to the best results.

Is your approach good for athletes or active individuals?

Absolutely! Our combination of myofascial work, movement-based techniques, and muscle retraining is specifically designed for active individuals who want to optimize performance, prevent injuries, or recover faster.

Laser Therapy with Multi Radiance

Can laser therapy help with nerve pain?

Yes! One of its biggest strengths is nerve pain relief, as it helps repair nerve damage, reduce inflammation, and improve nerve function.

Will I feel heat during the treatment?

Only mild warmth from the infrared (IR) light. Multi Radiance laser therapy is non-thermal, meaning it does not produce significant heat like other high-power lasers.

Who uses this type of laser therapy?

Multi Radiance laser technology is trusted by professional athletes and teams in the NBA, MLB, NHL, and NFL to help with pain relief and recovery.

How long does it take to see results?

We follow the "decade rule"—for every decade of life, it may take that many treatments to see significant change. However, many patients notice improvement within the first 3 visits.

What is the cost of a laser therapy session?

A single session costs $60, and package options may be available for ongoing care.

How long does a treatment session take?

A typical session lasts 5-15 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the condition being addressed.

Can it help with muscle recovery and injuries?

Yes, laser therapy enhances muscle recovery by increasing oxygen delivery, reducing inflammation, and speeding up tissue repair, making it ideal for athletes and active individuals.

Is laser therapy safe?

Yes! Multi Radiance lasers are FDA-cleared, non-invasive, and pain-free. There are no known side effects when used properly.

Does laser therapy work for tendinitis?

Absolutely! Laser therapy is highly effective for tendinitis, as it reduces inflammation, improves circulation, and promotes tissue healing at the cellular level.

How does Multi Radiance laser therapy work?

It creates a chemical reaction at the cellular level, stimulating the mitochondria to produce more ATP (cellular energy) and nitric oxide. This helps reset "stuck" inflammatory processes, promoting healing, circulation, and pain relief.

How does laser therapy work for pain relief?

Laser therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free pain relief solution that accelerates healing at the cellular level. Using low-level laser light, the treatment:

  • Reduces inflammation by improving circulation and decreasing swelling.
  • Relieves pain by stimulating nerve cells to block pain signals.
  • Speeds up healing by promoting ATP (cell energy) production, helping tissues regenerate.

At our clinic, we use Multi Radiance Super-Pulsed Laser Therapy, which has been effective for arthritis, sports injuries, back pain, and post-surgical recovery. It’s pain-free, requires no downtime, and many patients feel relief after just a few sessions.

Pregnancy Chiropractor

How will I lay on the table?

Our pregnancy tables “drop out” to accommodate your growing belly. Most moms lie face down comfortably until the third trimester, when we may shift to side-lying.

Is it gentle?

Yes—our techniques never involve pressure on your belly. You’ll feel safe, supported, and comfortable throughout your session.

Can I bring my kids to the appointment?

Yes! We love when moms bring their little ones. We even have a kids’ play area in the office.

What if I’m not in pain—can I still benefit?

Absolutely. Many moms report smoother births, less labor pain, and shorter delivery times when receiving regular chiropractic care during pregnancy.

Will this help me recover faster postpartum?

Most of our moms say yes. Care after birth helps realign the pelvis, support the core, and ease back into movement.

Can chiropractic care help with pregnancy-related pain?

Absolutely! Pregnancy can put extra stress on the spine, hips, and pelvis, leading to pain and discomfort. Chiropractic care during pregnancy can:

  • Reduce lower back and pelvic pain by ensuring proper spinal alignment.
  • Improve posture and balance to accommodate the baby’s growth.
  • Help with labor and delivery by optimizing pelvic alignment, potentially reducing the need for interventions.

We specialize in gentle pregnancy chiropractic techniques, making care safe and effective for expectant mothers. Many of our patients say they feel more mobile, more comfortable, and even sleep better after treatment!

Is chiropractic safe for newborns and infants?

Yes! Chiropractic care for infants is very gentle, using light fingertip pressure to address common issues like:

  • Colic and reflux – Adjustments can help regulate the nervous system and digestion.
  • Torticollis (neck tightness) – Gentle corrections improve head movement and prevent flat spots.
  • Sleep disturbances – Nervous system balance can promote better rest.

Adjustments for babies involve no cracking or force, just precise, soft pressure. Many parents notice improvements in their baby’s mood, digestion, and sleep after just a few visits.
