New Patient Center At Homberg Chiropractic & Wellness In Knoxville, TN

No referral is required. You can call our office directly or book online to schedule your first appointment. Some insurance plans may have specific requirements, so if you are unsure, contact our office and our team will help clarify what your plan requires before you come in.

The first visit is dedicated to the consultation and exam. X-rays, when clinically indicated, are also taken at that visit and sent to a radiologist. Treatment and the formal care plan begin at your second visit, following the report of findings. This is intentional. We do not treat before we understand what we are treating.

Plan for approximately 60 to 90 minutes for the first visit. The consultation, exam, and any imaging we take are thorough by design. Subsequent visits are shorter once the care plan is established.

Same-day appointments are often available. Call our office and our team will find the earliest opening that works. We do not recommend waiting if you are in significant pain or have a recent injury.

The most common feedback we hear from patients who have seen other providers is that the assessment here is more thorough and the care plan is more structured. We use standing X-rays rather than lying-down films when imaging is indicated, we build care plans with defined goals rather than open-ended treatment, and we address the structural cause of the problem rather than managing the symptom location. Patients who have had incomplete results elsewhere often find that the difference is in the level of assessment, not the adjustment itself.

Yes. We have extensive experience treating post-accident patients and accept accident medpay coverage. Dr. Hennie holds a whiplash certification from the San Diego Spine Institute and is a Certified Medical Examiner. Please bring your claim information, any prior imaging, and a summary of the providers you have seen since the accident. Same-day appointments are available for recent accident cases.

Yes. We see pediatric patients and use gentle, age-appropriate techniques adapted to the child’s developmental stage. Pediatric care at this practice focuses primarily on neurological function and its relationship to conditions such as digestive issues in infants and young children. Parents are present and fully informed throughout every pediatric visit.

We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Medicare, and accident medpay. If your plan is not listed, contact our office and we will let you know whether we can accommodate your coverage or discuss self-pay options.

Bringing prior X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans is helpful but not required. When standing X-rays are clinically indicated, we take them in-office because lying-down imaging does not capture how the spine loads under weight. Prior imaging provides useful historical context and we welcome it, but we will build the assessment on current, load-bearing films when appropriate.

That is one of the most common situations we encounter. Many patients arrive here after being told their imaging looks fine, that their pain is something they need to manage, or that surgery is the only remaining option. Our assessment starts from a different diagnostic framework, one that uses standing X-rays and a full structural and neurological evaluation. We make no promises about what we will find, but we do commit to a thorough look before drawing that conclusion.
