New Patients
No referral needed, no long intake process, and no waiting weeks for an appointment. Here's exactly what to expect from your first visit onward.
Your first conversation with Dr. Blanchard is free — no cost, no obligation, just an honest assessment of whether we can help.
We keep real openings each week rather than booking out a month in advance — text us and we'll find a time that works.
For the fastest response, text the office directly at (225) 313-6489 — no phone tree, no call center.
What to Expect
Your first conversation with Dr. Blanchard is a complimentary consultation. Before anything else, he sits down with you to understand your specific pain, how long it's been going on, and what you're hoping to get back to — golf, travel, sleeping through the night, whatever that is for you.
A hands-on assessment to identify exactly where the misalignment is and what's driving your symptoms, rather than guessing or treating generically.
You'll leave knowing exactly what the treatment plan is, how many visits it's likely to take, and what "done" looks like — no open-ended, indefinite scheduling.
Using the Activator Method — no twisting, cracking, or popping — delivered personally by Dr. Blanchard at every single visit.
We accept a range of insurance plans, including Medicare, as well as HSA and FSA accounts. Call the office and our staff will walk you through your specific coverage and costs before your first visit.
Common Questions
Not at Core Chiropractic. We use the Activator Method almost exclusively — a gentle, instrument-based approach that requires no popping or twisting of the spine. We'll walk you through exactly how it works at your first visit so you know what to expect.
It depends entirely on your specific issue, how long it's been present, and your goals. There's no standard package we push everyone into — we'll walk you through a realistic plan based on your exam, and you're never locked into ongoing care beyond reaching your goals.
No. You can book directly with us online or by text — no referral required.
That's completely fine. Many of our patients are trying chiropractic care for the first time, often after other approaches haven't fully resolved their pain. We'll explain each step clearly so there are no surprises.
