How We’ll Help You Get Pain-Free: Our 3-Step Process
Step 1: Complete Evaluation & Accurate Diagnosis (Day 1)
We start with a thorough examination to understand your complete health picture. If needed, we’ll take X-rays right here on-site—no waiting weeks for appointments elsewhere.
What this means for you: No more guessing about what’s causing your pain. You’ll get answers and a clear explanation of what’s going on with your body.
Step 2: Customized Treatment Plan (We Create This Together)
Based on your evaluation, our team of chiropractors and medical professionals will design a treatment plan specifically for your condition. This might include chiropractic adjustments, decompression therapy, medical pain management, or a combination approach.
What this means for you: You get personalized care that addresses YOUR specific problem—not a cookie-cutter approach. And because we have both chiropractic and medical doctors, we can adjust your treatment as you progress.
Step 3: Ongoing Support & Long-Term Prevention
As you improve, we’ll teach you how to maintain your results through proper posture, exercises, and lifestyle modifications. We want you to stay pain-free long after your treatment ends.
What this means for you: You won’t just feel better temporarily—you’ll learn how to prevent pain from coming back so you can stay active with your family and at work.
What Your Neighbors Are Saying
“Herring Spine and Rehab is consistently helping me improve my health. The staff is extremely courteous and helpful. They make you feel like family.”
“I’ve been a patient for over 2 years and through 2 pregnancies and they’ve taken the BEST care of me! Dr. Rod is extremely thorough and takes the time to explain what he’s doing.”

Questions Auburn Families Often Ask
“I’m worried about the cost. Do you take insurance?”
Yes! We accept most major insurance plans including BCBS, Aetna, Humana, United Healthcare, Medicare, and many others. Our dedicated insurance team will check your coverage before you start treatment and work with you to maximize your benefits.
“Is chiropractic care safe for my whole family—even my kids?”
Absolutely. We regularly treat children and they respond even faster than adults in many cases. Our techniques are gentle and modified based on age and comfort level. Many Auburn families have been bringing their children to us for decades.
“I work full-time and have kids’ activities. Do you have flexible hours?”
Yes! We’re open Monday-Friday from 8am-12pm and 1:30pm-5:30pm, with Saturday appointments available. Many of our patients come during lunch breaks or before/after work.
“Will chiropractic adjustments hurt?”
No. Most people feel relief and increased mobility after an adjustment. You might hear a popping sound (just gas releasing from joints—like cracking your knuckles), but the treatment itself isn’t painful. We use gentle, controlled techniques and always work within your comfort level.
“How is your practice different from other chiropractors I could go to?”
We’re the only integrated medical and chiropractic practice in the area. This means if chiropractic care alone isn’t enough, we have medical doctors who can provide additional treatments like anti-inflammatory medications, muscle relaxants, or injections—all under one roof. You don’t need to go to multiple places or coordinate between different doctors.
“What if I don’t get better?”
After 40+ years and thousands of successfully treated patients, we’re confident in our approach. During your first visit, we’ll be honest about what we can help with and realistic about timelines. If we determine your condition requires a different specialist, we’ll refer you appropriately—we have auxiliary privileges at East Alabama Medical Center for seamless coordination.
