Do you take insurance?

Yes—we work with many major insurance plans, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, Med Cost, FSAs and HSAs. Since coverage can vary a lot from person to person, the easiest next step is to book a consultation so we can walk you through fees up front and help you understand how your benefits may apply and how we can help you.

What if I'm out-of-network (or don't have insurance)?

No problem. We can provide billing details for out-of-network visits, and we'll go over your fees in advance during your consultation. Our goal is to make the process straightforward and stress-free.

Do I have to get X-rays?

Not necessarily. X-rays are only recommended when they're truly needed to better understand what's going on and to help guide your care.

Can I get a same-day appointment as a new patient?

Often, yes. We offer same-day appointments whenever scheduling allows.

Do I need a referral to see the chiropractor?

No referral is needed. You're welcome to book directly with Erickson Clinic of Chiropractic anytime.

What techniques do you use?

We use a variety of chiropractic techniques and may incorporate specific diagnostic approaches such as Palmer and Gonstead methods, depending on what's most appropriate for you.

Do you offer gentle adjustments?

Yes. Dr. Erickson has been trained in 14 different chiropractic techniques. We offer different approaches, including Impulse instrument adjusting, so care can be tailored to your comfort level, preferences, and needs.

Your feet are the foundation of everything your body does. When that foundation is off, the effects travel upward through your ankles, knees, hips, and spine. At Erickson Clinic of Chiropractic, we address foot mechanics as part of whole-body alignment because getting the foundation right makes everything else work better.

NEW PATIENTS

Posture and Balance Start From the Ground Up

Custom orthotics are prescription foot supports designed to correct the way your feet contact the ground and distribute your weight. We use Foot Levelers orthotics, a professional-grade brand with over 30 years of clinical development behind it. Dr. Rick Erickson has personally worked with Foot Levelers for more than three decades and has seen the technology continue to evolve.

What sets Foot Levelers apart is their support of all three arches of the foot, not just one, which gives a more complete correction than over-the-counter inserts. As feet naturally pronate or flatten with age, activity, or overuse, custom orthotics restore the alignment your body needs to function well from the ground up.

When the Whole Kinetic Chain Needs Support

Foot and postural issues are rarely isolated. The feet influence the knees, hips, and spine, and problems at the top of that chain travel downward too. Custom orthotics are particularly helpful for patients dealing with:

Flat feet or excessive pronation
Plantar fasciitis or heel pain
Knee, hip, or low back pain linked to poor foot mechanics
Ankle instability or recurring sprains
Postural imbalances identified through screening
Foot fatigue from prolonged standing or high-activity demands

From Laser Scan to Custom Fit in About Three Days

Before ordering, we perform a gravity posture screening using a laser scanning device that analyzes your feet, weight balance, and posture from the ground up. This is not a generic measurement. The scan captures the specific contours and alignment patterns of your feet and is sent directly to Foot Levelers in Roanoke, Virginia, where your orthotics are custom fabricated and returned to the clinic in approximately three days.

Once they arrive, your orthotics slip into virtually any shoe you wear, from walking shoes and running shoes to dress shoes, cleats, and work boots. Waterproof options are also available for patients who need them. Foot Levelers offers a second-pair discount as well, which many patients take advantage of to keep one pair in athletic shoes and another in dress or work footwear.

Orthotics are recommended to be replaced or supplemented every three to four years as your feet and alignment continue to change over time.

Getting More From Every Step

Custom orthotics do more than reduce foot pain. They help preserve the spinal alignment gains achieved through chiropractic care, reduce stress on joints throughout the lower body, and give athletes and active patients a competitive edge that starts at the foundation.

Patients who stand for long hours, run regularly, or are managing chronic lower-body discomfort often notice a meaningful difference in how their whole body feels once proper foot support is in place. Foot Levelers also offers youth orthotics, so younger patients and young athletes can benefit from proper support as they grow.
