Why Patients Choose Nine Point Health
Feeling better is about more than less pain.
It’s about being able to move, work, play and live with confidence again. That takes a clear answer about what’s holding you back, and a plan built around where you want to go.
Managing Pain
What a lot of patients have tried
- Treating wherever it hurts today
Symptoms get attention. The cause underneath them doesn’t, so the pain keeps coming back.
- A one-size-fits-all plan
The same routine for every patient, whatever their condition, job or goals.
- Stopping as soon as it feels better
Pain is often the first thing to fade, long before the problem has actually healed.
- Surprises on the bill
Coverage questions that only get answered after treatment.
The Nine Point Health Way
What we do instead
- Find the cause first
A full consultation and orthopedic, neurologic and chiropractic exam before treatment starts. X-rays only when they’re needed.
- A plan built around you
Your condition, lifestyle and goals shape your care, and the plan changes as you progress.
- Care through every phase
Our 4-Phase Recovery Program takes you from relief to strength to prevention, so results last.
- Benefits checked up front

Our Approach
Listen. Treat. Rebuild.
Step 01 · Listen First
01
Listen first.
We start by understanding your condition, your lifestyle and the goals that brought you to us, then a thorough exam to find what’s actually driving your pain.
02
Treat by hand.
Chiropractic adjustments and hands-on care address the source we found. Depending on your needs, your plan may also include spinal decompression, massage or other therapies.
03
Rebuild strength.
Active rehab and corrective exercises build the strength and control that help keep the same problem from slowing you down again.
Our Care Framework
Our proven 4-Phase Recovery Program.
Recovery doesn’t stop once your pain starts to improve. Every patient moves through the same four phases, with care tailored to them inside each one.
Phase 01
Pain
In pain and unsure where to turn? We identify the root cause and create a personalized treatment plan to get you relief.
Phase 02
Prevent
Worried about re-injury? As pain eases, we give you the tools to protect your progress and keep it from coming back.
Phase 03
Prime
Staying motivated after relief can be tough. We help you rebuild mobility, flexibility and strength so your body is ready for what’s next.

Back to work, back to your sport, back to the activities you love. Every plan builds toward your version of the finish line.

Common Questions
Everything you want to know before you come in.
01 / Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor at Nine Point Health?
No. Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee all allow direct access to chiropractic care, so you can request an appointment directly with any of our five clinics without a referral. Our team will verify your insurance benefits before your first visit.
02 / Does Nine Point Health accept insurance?
Yes. We accept most commercial health insurance plans, including Medicare. We are a certified workers’ compensation provider and we treat auto accident and personal injury cases. Our staff verify and explain your benefits before treatment at no charge. Self-pay options are also available.
03 / What happens at my first visit?
We start with a consultation to make sure you’re in the right place, then an orthopedic, neurologic and chiropractic exam. X-rays are taken only if they are needed. At your next visit your doctor walks you through the findings and your plan. If chiropractic care isn’t right for you, there is no charge and we’ll refer you to a trusted specialist.
04 / How long are sessions and how often will I come in?
Sessions typically last 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your condition and the techniques used. Many patients start at two to three visits per week for at least four to six weeks, then visit less often as they improve. Your chiropractor will give you a plan after your evaluation.
05 / What should I wear or bring?
Wear comfortable, loose clothing that lets you move easily. Bring any imaging (X-rays, MRIs), test results, doctor’s notes and a list of current medications, along with your insurance card or accident-related information.
