Lunara Pediatric Therapy FAQ

Baby neck exam

Do you take insurance?

We have chosen not to contract with insurance companies so we are able to provide the care each child needs. We work with families, not insurance companies or the private equity firms that have become pervasive in the medical realm. 

How much does it cost?

Every case is unique so we offer a free consult to help you understand what treatment looks like, how many visits you may expect, and what the cost per visit is.

For those that are worried about cost we offer our sliding scale visits at an agreed upon rate on a limited basis.

Rest assured you won’t be paying anywhere close to the 400 dollars per session people have been stuck paying for in network therapy according to forbes.

Current Rates & Scheduling

What do you treat?

Our expertise in manual therapy has been tailored toward infants and young children. This includes feeding issues, tightness, low tone, and developmental delays.

Our staff historically has worked with a larger age range including adults. if you have a specific question on if we are a good fit please schedule a consult.

How many visits is normal?

At Lunara we typically see most children for 2 to 7 visits.

 

Why not the typical 8-12 visits?

  • We make interventions easy to integrate into your life (not the list of exercises so long that you need to carve out an hour a day to do them)
  • 100% one-on-one care (no high school grads running you through a list of exercises you probably don’t need)
  • Hands on thoughtful care that gets to the root cause

Will my child benefit if their issue is only “mild”?

 
We hear this often from parents of children with conditions ranging from torticollis, feeding issues, to toe walking. Often time these “mild” cases do benefit immensely from 1 to 2 visits and reduce the risk of complications in the future.
 

Will I have a lot of things to do at home?

Typically, we help modify what you are already doing. Our goal is to make sure your child has the optimal home program which means less exercises and more quality time.

 

How many treatments do most people need?

Most children are seen for an average of 4 visits to complete their care compared to over 12 in many insurance based clinics.

 

When does bodywork benefit babies?

  • Seem uncomfortable laying or sleeping on their back
  • Struggle with breast or bottle feeding or if nursing causes pain
  • Sleep for less than 1 hour consistently
  • Always clench their hands or feet
  • Resist extending their head or lifting their shoulders
  • Hate the car seat and/or stroller
  • Have a tongue-tie
  • Vomit on you after every feed
  • Appear tight or tense

 

How many people do you treat at the same time?

All our treatments are 100% one-on-one physical therapy with your professional provider. This means no aides or assistants to tell you to exercise. You get a real time response and the best opportunity to improve with this one-on-one physical therapy.
