Aetna Chiropractor in Arlington Heights, IL

Effective Chiropractic Care Covered by Aetna

Choosing an Aetna chiropractor near you means you can receive chiropractic services that address the most common neuromusculoskeletal conditions, including back pain, neck pain, tension headaches, and joint injuries, with lower out-of-pocket costs.

Aetna insurance generally covers chiropractic treatment when it is deemed medically necessary. This typically includes spinal adjustments, rehabilitation exercises, and other evidence-based therapies used to correct spinal alignment and reduce inflammation. The primary focus of chiropractic treatment is the relationship between the spinal column and the nervous system, helping restore balance, mobility, and function naturally.

Chiropractors treat neuromusculoskeletal conditions such as headaches, back pain, and neck pain, and may address several concerns in one visit, making them highly versatile care providers. Chiropractic manipulation is the application of controlled force to re-establish normal joint function, improving spinal alignment and overall health. Chiropractors may also employ adjunctive therapies such as nutritional, physiotherapeutic, and rehabilitation support to aid recovery.

Aetna coverage often extends to the following services:

• Chiropractic evaluations and spinal adjustments
• Manual therapy and rehabilitative care
• Soft tissue and joint manipulation
• Nutritional counseling and lifestyle guidance
• Preventative and maintenance care (as permitted by plan)

Some studies suggest that chiropractic care can improve pain and disability outcomes for patients with low back pain, and may also reduce back pain during pregnancy or help manage pelvic girdle pain (PGP). However, spinal manipulation shows inconclusive effectiveness for treating pregnancy-related issues, cervicogenic headaches, or migraines. Evidence also indicates that chiropractic care is widely used for headaches, though results are not definitive.

Some Aetna plans may include massage therapy or physiotherapeutic support when prescribed as part of an overall chiropractic treatment plan. However, plan benefits, visit limits, and copayments vary. It’s always best to verify your Aetna chiropractic coverage directly with our office or through Aetna’s online Find Care directory.

Aetna Chiropractic Coverage Guidelines

Aetna considers chiropractic services medically necessary when specific criteria are met, including measurable improvement in symptoms and function.

• If no improvement is documented within the first two weeks, additional treatment may not be considered medically necessary unless the care plan is modified.
• If no improvement is shown within 30 days despite modifications, continued care is no longer considered medically necessary.
• Once maximum therapeutic benefit is achieved, ongoing chiropractic care is considered maintenance and is not covered.
• Health insurance plans contain exclusions and limitations, and some Aetna plans include limits on the number of visits or diagnostic services.
• Aetna provides a network of chiropractic providers, including many in-network chiropractors, which helps patients minimize costs.

Chiropractic care can be received alongside medical or osteopathic care, allowing patients to see multiple healthcare providers simultaneously for complementary treatments. Chiropractors may be able to diagnose disease, prescribe office-based therapies, and recommend home exercises to support recovery and mobility.
