Questions We Often Get
Here are some questions we often get about our Austin Chiropractor Practise.
How much does a chiropractor cost?
Our services vary in cost, depending on what your requirement is. You can expect a consultation cost ranging upwards from $100.
We charge a $25 fee to patients who cancel within 24 hours of their scheduled appointment time and to those who fail to appear for their appointments altogether
Are chiropractors doctors?
Chiropractors are considered doctors within their field of study, holding the title of Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.).
We are different from medical doctors (MDs) and or doctors of osteopathy (DOs), but chiropractors do undergo rigorous education and training, as you would expect from someone who holds a doctorate-level degree.
Can chiropractors write prescriptions?
Chiropractors do not prescribe medication as part of their treatment approach.
In the United States, including here in Austin TX at Austin Preferred, chiropractors focus on providing non-invasive therapies such as spinal adjustments, manual therapies, and other techniques to address musculoskeletal issues and improve overall wellness.
The core philosophy of chiropractic care and our chiropractic practise is an emphasis on the body’s ability to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery.
If your condition requires medication, we can work in conjunction with other healthcare providers who can prescribe the necessary medications as part of a comprehensive care plan. Our goal is to ensure you receive the most appropriate and effective care for your needs.

Can a chiropractor help with a pinched nerve?
Yes, a chiropractor can help with a pinched nerve.
Pinched nerves occur when there is compression or pressure on a nerve, often resulting from misalignment in the spine, herniated discs, or other joint issues.
Chiropractic care can provide relief by adjusting the spine to alleviate pressure on the nerve, thus reducing pain and improving function. Our approach here at Austin Preferred includes a thorough examination to identify the source of the nerve compression. Based on the findings, we develop a personalized treatment plan that may include spinal adjustments, massage therapy, and specific exercises designed to strengthen and stabilize the affected area, promoting long-term relief from the symptoms associated with a pinched nerve.
Can a chiropractor help with vertigo?
Yes, a chiropractor can help with vertigo.
Vertigo is often caused by issues related to the inner ear or neck, which can impact balance and spatial orientation.
Chiropractic care, focusing on the spine and neck adjustments, can help alleviate the misalignments or dysfunctions contributing to vertigo.
Techniques such as the Epley Maneuver, designed to reposition inner ear crystals and improve inner ear function, may also be used. It’s important to have a thorough evaluation to tailor the treatment to your specific condition. In our chiropractic practice here in Austin we assess each patient’s unique situation to provide effective, personalized care for vertigo and balance issues.

Texas HB 4224 adds Section 181.105 to the Texas Health and Safety Code. It requires covered healthcare entities to post instructions in two locations — on their website and at each physical facility — telling patients how to request medical records, contact the applicable licensing or disciplinary authority, and file a consumer complaint as described under Texas Health and Safety Code Section 181.103.
The law, which passed the Texas House 149-0 and the Texas Senate 31-0, applies to any person or entity that assembles, collects, stores, transmits, or otherwise handles protected health information, including physicians, hospitals, clinics, mental health providers, and staffing agencies. Entities that exclusively perform claims processing, data processing, utilization review, or billing on behalf of another provider are exempt, but lose that exemption if they also provide direct patient-facing services.
The postings must give step-by-step instructions — not merely a statement of rights — and a HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices alone does not satisfy the requirement. Non-compliance does not create new criminal liability but can trigger investigations by the Texas Attorney General’s office or a provider’s licensing board. Source: Hendershot Cowart P.C.k
