Why We Don’t Accept Insurance — And Why That’s Good for Your Health

At Ruach Chiropractic, we believe in one simple truth: Your body is designed to heal — and with the right care, it can.

But here’s the reality: The traditional health insurance system doesn’t support that kind of care. It doesn’t reward prevention, it only reacts to crisis. That’s why we made a conscious decision not to let insurance dictate the quality or direction of your chiropractic care.

Let’s break down why we don’t accept insurance, and more importantly, why this actually benefits you.

🚫 The Insurance System Is Built for Sick Care, Not Health Care

Insurance companies are built around one model: manage illness, not prevent it.

They’re designed to:

  • Cover emergency care and medications

  • Limit services to the bare minimum

  • Reject anything that improves your health but isn’t a “crisis”

The problem? Chiropractic care isn’t just for pain relief — it’s for restoring movement, improving function, and keeping your nervous system at its best. That’s preventative care, and unfortunately, most insurance providers don't value it.

🧠 We Believe in Proactive, Not Reactive, Care

Let’s say you have back pain. The traditional model might give you:

  • Pain pills

  • Muscle relaxers

  • Maybe 6 visits (if “approved”)

But what if your pain is just the surface of a deeper issue? What if you need ongoing care to truly fix the cause, not just dull the symptoms?

That’s the care we provide — and it can’t be done in 6 rushed visits.

💡 What Insurance Won’t Tell You

Most insurance companies:

  • Cap visits no matter the severity of your issue

  • Delay care with pre-authorizations

  • Exclude techniques proven to help (like certain therapies or diagnostics)

  • Reimburse less than the actual cost of quality, hands-on chiropractic care

In short, they reduce your care to checklists and quotas, not outcomes.

💰 We Focus on Value, Not Volume

Because we’re not tied to insurance, here’s what you get instead:

  • Personalized care plans based on your condition, not coverage limits

  • One-on-one attention — no rushed visits, no double-booking

  • Modern therapies like laser, neuropathy care, supplements, and exercise rehab that insurance won’t pay for

  • Transparent pricing — no surprise bills in the mail

Our goal is to get you better, not keep you coming back endlessly or battling red tape.
