What to Expect

Choosing a functional rehabilitation specialist can be difficult!
Never fear!

We at Elevate Sport and Spine Center are here to help you!

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact our office. We would be happy to address any queries, clarify any concerns, and ease any apprehensions you may have before committing to care. We are more than just a chiropractic office in Fort Collins, CO; we also have an extensive referral network with other exceptional healthcare providers in the area. If chiropractic care isn't the best option for you at any point, we can confidently recommend other providers in Fort Collins, CO.

When you arrive at Elevate Sport and Spine Center, you will be greeted by Dr. John Kuruc. If you do not have your new patient paperwork completed and with you upon arrival, we will gladly provide those forms to you for you to fill out. After completion of your paperwork, Dr. Kuruc will consult with you. This is our discovery visit. We want to know if we are the right fit for you! We'll also ask you to perform basic functional movements to screen how your body is moving. We will also use this time to answer any questions you may have.

After your discovery visit and we determine that we may be able to help, your first treatment begins. This will include a full comprehensive exam. We want to find the ROOT CAUSE of your injury. During our examination, if we truly believe that we may not be the right fit for you and your current injury, we will refer you to the appropriate provider or order the necessary imaging. Remember, our goal is to help you any way possible!

If our comprehensive exam doesn't produce any red flags, we will clearly explain our findings to you. We believe education is such a big component in the recovery process. From there, we'll begin with our first hour long treatment. We'll perform a variety of soft tissue techniques, manipulations if necessary, and rehabilitation exercises. At the conclusion of your first visit, we'll go back to the movement screens that we found to be dysfunctional/painful at the beginning of your session and retest them again. If your mobility is better and your pain is lower, then we know we can help you!

At the conclusion we'll explain the three stages of recovering from an injury. From there we will lay out a custom plan of care that we believe will help you achieve your short and long term goals as soon as possible. Treatment is interactive, so please feel free to express any concerns you have at any time, and never be afraid to ask us any questions as they pop up! We treat each patient like family. We want to know what is working for you and more importantly, what isn't working.

We will not be taking any private insurance at this time. We do accept auto accidents and workman's compensation claims. We will provide any patient with a super bill that they can submit to their insurance provider. This allows Dr. Kuruc to not be bound by the restrictive barriers that insurance companies require which means he can use any treatment necessary to get you out of pain as quickly as possible! It also allows Dr. Kuruc to spend an hour with each patient!
