New Patients at Authentic Core Care
We’re thrilled you’ve found us! At Authentic Core Care, Dr. Alexia Rickard offers gentle, nervous system-focused chiropractic care, functional nutrition, and advanced bioenergetic scanning in a warm, home-based setting that feels welcoming. Whether you’re pregnant, in postpartum, managing a houseful of kids, or simply seeking whole-family wellness, we’re here to help you function better, feel more balanced, and thrive together.
Before Your First Visit
Please complete our intake paperwork in advance; it’s thorough so Dr. Alexia can understand your health history and gain meaningful insight. Bring a list of current medications and any health details you’d like us to know. Comfortable clothing is preferred, but there’s no strict dress code—gentle techniques and drop mechanisms mean even a dress works. If you’re planning a Zyto scan, drink plenty of water beforehand for the best results.
Your First Appointment: What to Expect
After arriving at our office, you’ll sit down with Dr. Alexia for a detailed conversation about your health history. She’ll then perform any needed exam procedures, such as range of motion, orthopedic, or neurological assessments. If you add a Zyto scan, she’ll set you up while continuing the conversation.
You’ll receive your first chiropractic adjustment during this visit—no second appointment required. Adjustments take about 30 minutes; with a Zyto scan, plan for 45 to 60 minutes.
Pay What You Can: Our Donation-Based Model
After your first visit (which has a set fee), all future chiropractic adjustments are donation-based. You pay what feels right for your family—no required amounts. If several family members come, you’re welcome to donate less per person so everyone gets care. We accept cash, major credit cards, checks, and HSA or FSA cards.
