It’s said that many years ago, before health insurance, when the world of health care was a little simpler, there were chiropractors who, instead of keeping an office, traveled from town to town. They would set up a tent at the outskirts of town with a bucket by the door. Townspeople would come for their adjustments. They would leave what they could afford in the bucket by the door. If they couldn’t afford anything, they paid nothing. If times were really hard, they took what they needed from the bucket to get by. That’s the spirit we’re trying to rekindle with Bucket Saturdays.

Here’s how it works:

The third Saturday of every month the office will be open from 8 AM to 9:30 (or later, if necessary). Anyone can come and get an adjustment with no appointment. There will be no staff, no one answering the phone, just me. The suggested donation will be $15 per person and $25 per family. That’s suggested only. You pay what you choose; less if you can’t afford it, more if the spirit moves you. All money collected will be donated to charity.

Here’s the catch:

You can have a health problem and come to Bucket Saturdays, but I’m not going to treat your problem, I’m going to treat YOU. If you have a health problem and a financial problem, we can help you with an Individual Consideration Contract that will set payment arrangements you can afford, but we don’t do this on Bucket Saturdays. You would have to come in during regular hours.

WE WILL NOT BILL ANY INSURANCE FOR TREATMENT ON BUCKET SATURDAYS. CASH or CHECK ONLY. We also can’t accept credit cards because there will be no one at the front desk to process them.

There are two requirements for participating:

1- You must have been to the office for a regular appointment within the past year- If not you need a regular visit so I can be aware of any ongoing health condition that may affect your treatment.

2- You must arrive right at 8:00 AM the first time you come- Every Bucket Saturday will begin with a 15-minute talk on Chiropractic, Health and the difference between Wellness Care and Condition Based Care. You have to hear it once.
