Frequently Asked Questions in Woburn MA

We do not X-ray or use advanced imaging on all of our patients. If, after an exam is given, Dr. Kosinski requires further imaging to make a diagnosis, she will recommend that at the time. We only believe in doing advanced imaging when it is absolutely necessary to make a diagnosis.

We are in network with most major health plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Harvard Pilgrim, Mass General Brigham Health (formerly known as Allways or Neighborhood Health Plan) and Tufts. We are in network with Medicare Part B and Masshealth's Standard plan.

We recommend that patients call their insurance companies to confirm any eligibility coverage and/or benefits. If you have difficulty our staff may be able to help verify coverage prior to your new patient appointment. Please call the office for more information.

Yes, you will. Your pain has likely been present for some time. To understand fully where the source of your issue is, we will do a thorough exam and medical history. Dr. Kosinski will find the source of your pain and then give you a gentle and very precise treatment to help you start to feel better. You will then make a separate appointment to go over the report of findings and the treatment recommendation so that you know what to expect moving forward, and we know how best to help you.

When you want to find out if something is really safe all you have to do is just check with the insurance companies. They have to put their money where their mouth is when it comes to issuing insurance to doctors for injury and malpractice. Chiropractors have some of the lowest premiums of any type of doctor. The premiums are adjusted higher/lower according to the possible risk of injury from treatment. If we have the lowest premiums, then the insurance companies have concluded that we are one of the safest forms of healthcare. In fact on average malpractice insurance rates are 90% lower than your primary care doctor. 99% lower than your OB/GYN or surgeon!

We all encounter trauma in life, starting with birth, which can be harmful to a baby’s delicate spine. If left uncorrected, it can cause problems later in life. A study by Nilsson reported that children under care are healthier than those that aren’t, miss less school, have less of a need for drugs, and are more attentive. Chiropractors have helped with many common issues like digestion, constipation, colic, bed-wetting, scoliosis, growing pains, asthma, ear infections, and torticollis. Instead of treating a condition, chiropractic removes nervous system interference so that the body can function at its best and heal itself.

In most cases, Yes. If we’re unable to help you, you’ll be informed immediately.
