$97 New Patient Special Disclaimer

Last updated: October 2026

• The New Patient Special is a one-time introductory visit for new patients. X-rays are not included in the New Patient Special; if Dr. DeSalvo recommends imaging, it and its cost will be discussed with you before any X-rays are taken. Should you decide to continue with chiropractic care after your New Patient Special visit, all care plans and pricing will be discussed with you openly and up front, before any further care begins. Please be advised that our staff are not qualified to estimate the cost of care over the telephone. You are under no obligation to proceed with any recommended care.

• This offer does not apply to automobile accident or personal injury cases, or to any visit requiring forensic, medical-legal, or attorney-directed documentation. Patients presenting with injuries related to a motor vehicle collision or other personal injury claim will be scheduled under our standard personal injury evaluation protocol, which includes the appropriate diagnostic and documentation services for their case.

Were you injured in a collision?

Motor-vehicle-collision and personal-injury patients are not scheduled under this introductory offer — they are scheduled under our standard personal injury evaluation protocol, which includes the diagnostic testing and documentation those cases actually require. In most cases it is billed to the at-fault carrier, Med Pay or your attorney's lien rather than to you.

Questions about the offer
