FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE? 

We are an out-of-network provider. We offer complimentary insurance checks for out-of-network benefits. Send us your insurance details ahead of time, and our team will verify your coverage and explain your options before your appointment.

DO YOU ACCEPT FSA/HSA?

Yes, chiropractic services are covered under most FSA/HSA plans. Check with your provider to see if integrative services are covered under your plan.

What is the Webster Technique, and do you offer it?

Yes, Dr. Mina uses the Webster Technique. It is a specific chiropractic assessment and gentle adjustment focused on balancing the pelvis, sacrum, and surrounding ligaments. By relieving pelvic tension and restriction, the Webster Technique helps reduce lower back and pubic bone discomfort, creating optimal space and alignment in the pelvis as your baby grows and prepares for birth.

are CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTs SAFE for everyone?

Dr. Mina completes a comprehensive health history and targeted orthopedic and neurological evaluations to ensure chiropractic care is completely safe for you. If a traditional adjustment isn't indicated for your condition, she will use gentle alternative techniques from her clinical toolkit or guide you toward the right next steps. As with any medical care, safety comes first, and we tailor every treatment to your body's specific needs.

Do I need a doctor's referral to book an appointment?

No. In the state of California, chiropractors are primary contact healthcare providers. You do not need a physician’s referral to schedule an evaluation or begin care at HealWorks.

WILL TESTS BE COVERED BY INSURANCE? 

In many cases, yes. Standard diagnostic imaging like X-rays or MRIs ordered during your care are frequently covered by major insurance plans. Coverage for specialized functional health labs varies by carrier and plan.

Do I have to buy supplements from dr. mina, or can I get them on Amazon?

Where you source your supplements matters. We recommend professional-grade supplements that adhere strictly to FDA cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) standards for purity, potency, and label accuracy. Products sold on open marketplaces like Amazon can occasionally suffer from counterfeit sourcing, expired batches, or improper heat storage during shipping.

Can chiropractic care help turn a breech baby?

Chiropractors do not manually turn or move babies. Pelvic misalignments and tight ligaments can limit space inside the pelvis. By using the Webster Technique to restore balance to the pelvic bones and relax the supporting ligaments, chiropractic care gives your baby the maximal physical space needed to naturally turn into the optimal head-down position.

I DON'T LIKE TO BE "CRACKED," CAN I STILL BE A PATIENT? 

Absolutely. Your comfort is always our top priority. Dr. Mina utilizes gentle, low-force chiropractic techniques and soft-tissue modalities that achieve wonderful results without traditional high-velocity adjustments. Let her know your preference during your initial consultation.

What is your cancellation policy?

We reserve your session time exclusively for you. If you need to reschedule or cancel, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance to avoid a fee and so we can offer that time slot to other patients.
