How much does it cost?
Your 30 minute Initial exam and treatment is $90. Additional visits are 15 or 30 minutes depending on severity of your condition and cost $45 and $90 respectively.
Can I file for out of network reimbursement?
Yes. We can give you a statement that has the appropriate coding so that you can submit your visits to insurance and be reimbursed according to their allowed amounts. This varies depending on the insurance company and we don’t keep that information updated as to what patients end up getting reimbursed for. If you have questions on this we are happy to help.

What can I expect on my first visit?
During your first visit for pain relief, Dr. Carlston will ask you about your condition and do a thorough exam to determine what might be causing the pain.
After this exam, he will treat you according to what he finds to help you get relief as quickly as possible. He may also give you some stretches to do on your own.
Depending on the severity of your condition, you’ll then schedule a follow-up visit to continue your progress.
The techniques Dr. Carlston uses are very diverse and involve anything from acupressure (like acupuncture without needles) to deep tissue massage.
