7. Do you accept insurance?
Yes. Almost all plans include some chiropractic
coverage. We will file your insurance claims for you electronically
and await payment from your insurance company. Before charging you
directly, we will be happy to call your insurance company to obtain
a detailed verification of your benefits. You will only be charged
initially what we would expect your share or percentage to be. Our
offices participate in many PPO plans including Aetna, Blue Cross
Blue Shield, Cigna, Core Source, Fortis, General American, The Guardian,
Humana, PHCS (Private Health Care Systems), Medicare, One Health Plans,
Rush Prudential, Unicare, and others. Dr. Ezgur is contracted with
Illinois Masonic and Rush Prudential St. Luke's Health Associates
HMO plans. Dr. DiDomenico is contracted with Alexian Brothers, Columbus,
and St. Joseph's Hospitals HMO plans.

PROGRESSIVE HEALTH & WELLNESS BLOG: THE IMPORTANCE OF MICRO-BREAKS & ERGONOMICS : Over time, the human body has adapted very well to the task of hunting for and gathering food. It performs and feels its best when it is in motion during the day, and resting at night. Sitting all day, on the other hand, puts an enormous strain on the sspine and its supporting tendons, ligaments, muscles, and fascia. If you are sitting at a desk and/or computer for more than 1 hour on a regular basis, then you are what we call an “industrial athlete”. For you, proper micro-breaks and ergonomics (discussed in a separate blog) are essential to prevent neck pain, back pain, and headaches, as well as to allow your body to get the best results from your chiropractic care. Ideally, micro-breaks should be performed before you start to feel stiff or sore at your worksite. For most people, this means taking a 20-30 second micro-break every 20-30 minutes of prolonged sitting. Of course, longer breaks of 1-5 minutes should also be taken every 2-3 hours, or as needed. Any of the exercises that Drs. Ezgur or DiDomenico prescribe for you can be used as a micro-break. One of the most effective micro-break exercises is Brugger’s Relief Position, as taught in our offices. Read More |
