Blue Hen Chiropractic & Wellness, P.A. is dedicated to providing quality health care to patients of all ages. Our practitioners are fully trained and state and nationally licensed to perform their specialties. Through continued education, knowledge, and experience, we are able to diagnose the presenting condition and recommend and perform the appropriate treatment.
We welcome the opportunity to co-treat patients with other disciplines such as physical therapy and massage. In some cases, it may be necessary to refer patients to other specialists including orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and neuro-surgeons. Many times care is also coordinated with Primary Care Physicians. Referrals are required by some insurance plans.
Convenient office hours are available, and direct billing to most insurance companies is provided.
We look forward to, and appreciate, the opportunity to provide you and your family the quality care needed for optimum health and wellness.
