7. Do you accept insurance?
Yes. Almost all plans include some chiropractic
coverage. We will file your insurance claims for you electronically
and await payment from your insurance company. Before charging you
directly, we will be happy to call your insurance company to obtain
a detailed verification of your benefits. You will only be charged
initially what we would expect your share or percentage to be. Our
offices participate in many PPO plans including Aetna, Blue Cross
Blue Shield, Cigna, Core Source, Fortis, General American, The Guardian,
Humana, PHCS (Private Health Care Systems), Medicare, One Health Plans,
Rush Prudential, Unicare, and others. Dr. Ezgur is contracted with
Illinois Masonic and Rush Prudential St. Luke's Health Associates
HMO plans. Dr. DiDomenico is contracted with Alexian Brothers, Columbus,
and St. Joseph's Hospitals HMO plans.

PROGRESSIVE HEALTH & WELLNESS BLOG: THE IMPORTANCE OF ERGONOMICS & MICRO-BREAKS : Over time, the human body has adapted very well to the task of hunting for and gathering food. It performs and feels its best when it is in motion during the day, and resting at night. Sitting all day, on the other hand, puts an enormous strain on the sspine and its supporting tendons, ligaments, muscles, and fascia. If you are sitting at a desk and/or computer for more than 1 hour on a regular basis, then you are what we call an “industrial athlete”. For you, proper ergonomics and micro-breaks (discussed in a separate blog) are essential to prevent neck pain, back pain, and headaches, as well as to allow your body to get the best results from your chiropractic care. Proper ergonomics involves having your computer monitor positioned directly in front of you (not off to one side), at eye-level. Your feet should be in full contact with the floor, with your hips and knees bent at approximately a 90 degree angle. It is crucial that your elbows are in at your sides at all times (even when using your keyboard and mouse), no more than 2-3 inches away from your sides or reaching in front of your shoulders. Ideally, your elbows and wrists are resting on an arm rest/wrist rest, either attached to your chair, or your desk. In order for the above requirements to be met, a drop-down keyboard tray and fully adjustable ergonomic chair are usually necessary. Drs. Ezgur and DiDomenico are highly skilled in advising you how to modify your worksite to be ergonomically correct for you. They may also recommend that you request an ergonomic consultation to be performed for you by your employer. Many people don’t realize that most companies are required by law to comply with your request. Read More |
