Why Spine Labs Is Making the First Visit Free
Beginning November 1, 2026, your first visit to Spine Labs is free.
We're changing the way we welcome new patients, giving more people the opportunity to experience our approach to neck and back care before deciding whether to continue treatment.
This isn't a limited-time promotion. It's a change to our business model, built around a simple belief: the best way to understand Spine Labs is to experience it for yourself.
From your first examination to your conversation with the doctor, we want you to understand what we're recommending, why we're recommending it, and how you're comfortable receiving care.
Why We're Making This Change
Before launching Spine Labs, our founders spent years working with patients and learning
what people value in their healthcare experiences.
One thing became clear: not everyone walks into a chiropractic office knowing what to expect.
Some people have had positive experiences with chiropractic care, others have never visited a chiropractor, and some have walked away from previous experiences feeling uncertain about the recommendations they received.
For Spine Labs co-founder Ivi Bifsha, those observations helped shape the thinking behind the brand.
As Dr. Ivi Bifsha explains:
"The confusion around chiropractic care is one of the biggest reasons we created Spine Labs."
Spine Labs was built with a specific focus: care for the neck and lower back, beginning with an examination rather than a predetermined treatment.
Whether someone is exploring care for recurring neck discomfort, lower back pain, or stiffness that affects everyday movement, we want their first experience to begin with a conversation and an evaluation by the doctor.
As Spine Labs continued to grow, our founders began thinking about how to make that experience easier for people to explore.
Dr. Bifsha put it simply:
"After building a model we believe in, we realized something: rather than continuing to explain what makes Spine Labs different, why not let patients experience it for themselves?"
That question helped inspire First Visit Free.
Instead of asking new patients to make a financial commitment before experiencing the clinic, we're inviting them to meet our team, understand our process, and explore the care our doctors recommend.
What Does Your Free First Visit at Spine Labs Include?
Your first visit is an opportunity to experience how we approach spine care, from your initial examination through treatment and a conversation about your next steps.
Here's what you can expect.
1. A Doctor-Led Examination
Your visit begins with a focused examination performed by a Spine Labs doctor.
The doctor reviews your concerns and evaluates your neck and back using examination procedures appropriate to your individual presentation. These may include range-of-motion testing, muscle testing, and other examination procedures.
2. Understanding Your Spine and Your Care Options
After the examination, your doctor explains the findings and discusses the recommended approach.
At Spine Labs, care is organized around three pillars:
Bone: Chiropractic adjustments, when appropriate.
Muscle: Doctor-selected at-home physical therapy exercises for every patient.
Nerve: Non-surgical spinal decompression, when appropriate.
These three pillars help guide how our doctors approach neck and lower back care.
Not every patient receives the same treatment. Your doctor uses the examination and clinical judgment to determine which approach, or combination of approaches, is appropriate.
You'll also have an opportunity to ask questions and discuss how you're comfortable receiving care.
3. Your Initial Treatment
Following the examination and conversation, your doctor provides initial treatment when clinically appropriate.
Every patient receives doctor-selected at-home physical therapy exercises. Adjustments and spinal decompression are recommended when appropriate based on the doctor's evaluation.
4. A Conversation About What's Next
After your initial examination, your doctor explains the recommendation for continued care.
Your Care Concierge can then walk you through available membership options based on that recommendation.
There's no obligation to continue care.
As Dr. Bifsha explains:
"Our doctors are here to be doctors, not salespeople. Their responsibility is to evaluate your condition, explain their findings, and provide professional recommendations based on your individual needs."
Experience Spine Labs for Yourself
Making the first visit free is about more than removing the initial cost. It's about giving people an opportunity to understand our approach before deciding whether continued care is right for them.
As Spine Labs continues to grow, we want new patients to know what to expect when they walk through our doors: a doctor-led examination, clear recommendations, and a conversation about their care.
Dr. Bifsha captured the thinking behind this decision in one statement:
"We don't want to convince you that Spine Labs is different. We want you to experience it and make that decision for yourself."
That's what First Visit Free represents for us.
Whether you're exploring chiropractic care or spinal decompression for the first time or looking into options for your neck or lower back, we invite you to come experience Spine Labs.
Meet our team. Ask questions. Understand our approach. Decide what comes next.
Your first visit is free.
First Visit Free is available to new patients. There is no obligation to continue care. Treatment is provided when clinically appropriate.
