One of the questions we hear most from new patients is simple: should I come into the Sherman Oaks or Glendale office, or have Dr. Nick come to me? Both options deliver the same quality of care — the right choice usually comes down to your schedule, mobility, and what puts you most at ease.
When In-Clinic Makes Sense
Our Sherman Oaks and Glendale offices are set up with the full range of equipment — the Erchonia laser, compression pumps, the PEMF and infrared mat, and the hyperbaric chamber. If your treatment plan leans on this equipment, or if you simply like getting out of the house, in-clinic visits let you access everything in one stop.
When In-Home Makes Sense
House calls are built for people who have a hard time getting to us — new parents, patients recovering from surgery, older adults, or anyone with a packed schedule who'd rather not lose an hour to driving and parking. Dr. Nick brings the essentials of the adjustment and assessment directly to your living room.
What Stays the Same Either Way
Your first visit always starts with the same thorough history and hands-on exam, and your treatment plan is built around your goals either way. If your needs change over time — say, you start in-home during a busy season and later want access to the recovery equipment — switching between formats is easy.
How to Decide
A good rule of thumb: if you're managing an acute injury that benefits from laser, compression, or HBOT, start in-clinic. If getting to an appointment is the biggest barrier to consistent care, in-home is likely the better fit. Not sure? Mention it when you book and we'll help you choose.
What In-Home Chiropractic Care Typically Involves
Mobile chiropractic care generally uses portable, foldable adjusting tables and hand tools that pack down to fit in a standard vehicle. The visit follows the same basic structure as an in-office appointment — a health history, a hands-on assessment, and treatment — just delivered in your living room, bedroom, or wherever is most comfortable.
Who Tends to Benefit Most
House calls are especially useful for people managing limited mobility, recovering from surgery or a recent injury, new parents adjusting to life with an infant, older adults, or anyone whose schedule makes it hard to commit to a fixed office visit. It's also a practical option for patients who simply feel more relaxed being treated in a familiar environment.
Limitations of Mobile Visits
Because house calls rely on portable equipment, they generally can't offer the same access to larger recovery tools — laser units, compression systems, or a hyperbaric chamber — that a fully equipped clinic provides. Many patients use a mix of both formats: in-home for convenience and in-clinic when a treatment plan calls for equipment-based therapy.
Whichever format you choose, you're getting the same attentive, unhurried approach Dr. Nick is known for. Ready to get started?
In-Home Chiropractic Care FAQ
Is in-home chiropractic care as effective as an in-office visit?
The core hands-on techniques — history taking, assessment, and adjustment — are the same in either setting. The main difference is access to larger recovery equipment, which is typically only available in a clinic.
What should I have ready before an in-home chiropractic visit?
Generally just a bit of open floor or table space and a comfortable, private area. The practitioner brings the portable equipment needed for the visit.
Can I switch between in-home and in-clinic visits?
In most mobile chiropractic practices, yes — patients often mix formats depending on what a given phase of their treatment plan calls for.
