Demsky Chiropractic is a self-pay practice for private insurance plans. We don’t bill Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, or similar carriers directly. Self-pay pricing is transparent and often more affordable than a private insurance copay once deductibles and network limits are considered.

We do bill the following directly:

• Traditional Medicare Part B
• Workers’ Compensation
• Auto Accident and Med Pay claims

Yes. Every patient can choose self-pay, regardless of insurance status. Pricing is straightforward and discussed upfront, before you commit to a plan of care. Call or text 330-366-6161 for details.

• Cold Laser Therapy — light-based therapy to reduce inflammation and promote healing
• Spinal Decompression — traction-based relief for compressed discs
• Ultrasound Therapy — deep tissue treatment for muscle and soft tissue injuries
• Custom Orthotics — individually fitted foot supports

• Intersegmental Traction — roller table treatment for spinal mobility
• Electrical Stimulation (E-Stim) — electrical muscle stimulation for pain and recovery

See the Services page for full details on each treatment.

Yes. Chiropractic care is one of the most widely researched and practiced forms of conservative musculoskeletal care. Dr. Demsky uses evidence-based techniques and evaluates each patient individually before recommending any treatment. Patients who prefer a lower-force approach can opt for instrument-assisted adjusting (the Activator Tool) instead of manual manipulation.

The practice sees a wide range of patients, including:

• Self-pay patients
• Auto accident and personal injury patients
• Sports injury and athletic performance patients
• Workers’ compensation cases
• Patients seeking maintenance and wellness care
