Understanding Your Insurance

It can be frustrating to deal with Insurance Companies. If you are handling medical bills or an auto accident, chances are, you are under stress. Without knowing the ins and outs of how an Insurance Company operates it can seem near impossible to communicate with your Insurance Company to get your families claims taken care of.

Insurance Companies deny claims hoping that you won't appeal and most times making it difficult for you to appeal. We see it weekly in the in the explanation of benefits we process at the clinic where a claim is incorrectly denied. The sooner you deal with your Insurance Company to correct the errors the better. From the different forms they send out to you, to the "Insurance Lingo" it can make things difficult to get you claims reprocessed. Don't hesitate to call your provider's office and ask for help in understanding the situation. We can provide an action plan to get your claims reprocessed. If you are paying for insurance benefits don't let your Insurance Company take it away from you.

If you need help with your insurance claims, don't hesitate to call Melissa at Doyle Chiropractic Clinic 425-485-7507.

The Health Benefits of Stretching

Have you done your stretches?” You probably hear this question all the time from your chiropractor. But why is stretching so important to your health? It all has to do with proper alignment in the musculoskeletal system. The Musculoskeletal System Your skeleton is a collection of over 200 bones that give your body its shape and structure. In between adjacent bones you have joints, or articulation, and holding the joints together, are ligaments. These are the main components of the system that gives your body support, protects your vital organs, and allows for the foundation around which movement occurs. The skeletal system is a static structure on its own. However, when you add muscles you create a dynamic, functional musculoskeletal system capable of performing work, maintaining an upright posture, transporting your body from one place to another, and allowing for personal expression using language and gestures. With few exceptions (like the movement of the eye or tongue), a...

Core Stabilization – Foundation of a Healthy Lower Back

  We often hear our doctors, therapists and trainers discuss core stabilization and how integral it is for the function and health of our bodies, especially for our lower backs. But what is it? And why is it considered so important?   Core stabilization refers to your ability to keep your core structure (torso, abdomen and spine) relatively stable as the appendicular skeleton (legs, arms and connecting structures) is recruited to do physical work like walking, running, throwing and lifting.   Consider what would happen if you did not possess core stability. Every time you wanted to move – bringing either an arm or a leg away from your midline to perform a task – your body would be pulled in that direction and you would fall over. If you did not fall, you would most likely strain the holding elements of your joints (i.e. the ligaments) instead, once the load became too great. Not a good scenario. What are the essential components of core stability?   When mo...
