OUR SERVICES

Meet Our Caring Doctors

Both graduates of Logan Chiropractic College, Dr. Bickmeyer and Dr. Mikos have over fifty years' combined experience helping patients of all ages feel and function their best. Dr. Bickmeyer began practicing in 1993, then relocated in 2002 and opened RiverTowne Family Chiropractic with the mission of helping everyone in the community experience a new level of health, naturally.

Dr. Mikos was inspired to become a chiropractor after receiving chiropractic care himself in his early twenties. Along with caring for patients, Dr. Mikos teaches Human Anatomy and Physiology, Kinesiology and Medical Ethics at the college level.

Getting Started with Care

We strive to make getting the care you need easy and convenient. Our consultation is always free, and it's your chance to talk with the doctor and find out about our approach to care. We also offer a new patient special of $99, which includes your entire first visit: consultation, examination and X-rays as needed. *New Patient Special does not apply to Medicare patients

We have found that insurance companies limit the care we are able to provide our patients. Since we want every member of the family to receive all the care they need, we have put together our own cost effective care programs that are often more affordable than using insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions

General Chiropractic

Is chiropractic care safe?

Yes, with a proper examination and X-rays, chiropractic care is extremely safe, even safer than taking an aspirin.

Are there any specific conditions chiropractic is particularly effective for?

Chiropractic adjustments are effective for conditions like low back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, gut issues, fibromyalgia, and so many more. Kids benefit from adjustments for issues like ADD/ADHD, ear infections, and sensory problems.

How does chiropractic care differ from traditional medical treatment? Can the two complement each other?

Chiropractic focuses on restoring function from the inside out, whereas traditional medicine takes an outside-in approach, often relying on medications or surgery. Both can complement each other in a comprehensive healthcare plan.

What should I expect during my first chiropractic visit? Will it hurt?

Your first adjustment is quick and typically doesn't hurt, although you might experience some soreness as your body adjusts.

How often should I get chiropractic adjustments? Is there a recommended schedule?

The frequency depends on your condition. Initially, you might need adjustments three times a week, with wellness visits reduced to weekly or bi-weekly as your spine improves.

Can chiropractic care help with chronic pain? If so, how long might it take to see results?

Yes, results typically begin within 4-6 weeks, with functional improvement over time.

What is the difference between a chiropractor and an osteopath?

Chiropractors focus on specific adjustments to remove nerve interference, while osteopaths are medical doctors with little manipulation training.

Can chiropractic care help with headaches and migraines? How does it work?

Yes, by relieving nerve pressure, chiropractic care can reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches and migraines.

Is chiropractic care at your practice covered by insurance?

Many insurance plans cover chiropractic care, but they often have high deductibles and only allow limited visits. We offer care plans that are usually more affordable.

Can children benefit from chiropractic care? What about infants?

Absolutely! We say, "Adjusted from birth, healthy for life!"
