New to Dr. Lamarche's practice? Here are the most common questions patients ask before their first visit.
No. Dr. Lamarche's practice is self-pay and does not bill insurance directly. This is an intentional choice — it allows her to spend the time each patient actually needs without the constraints of insurance protocols. Many patients find their total investment is comparable to, or less than, their out-of-pocket costs at insurance-based practices. Payment is due at the time of service.
No. Your first visit is a comprehensive evaluation — not a treatment appointment. Dr. Lamarche takes 60–90 minutes to thoroughly review your history, perform a detailed physical examination, and understand the full picture before making any treatment recommendations. Treatment typically begins at your second visit, once she is confident in the diagnosis and plan.
Dr. Lamarche is not an urgent care or same-day practice. New patient appointments are scheduled in advance, typically within a week or two depending on availability. If you are in acute distress, please call the office directly at (678) 903-5960 and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Please bring a photo ID, any previous X-rays or MRI reports (digital or printed), a list of current medications, and wear comfortable clothing that allows for movement. Plan to arrive about 10 minutes early to complete new patient paperwork.

Several things. First, her credentials — she holds four advanced certifications: CCSP (Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician), ATC (Athletic Trainer), CSCS (Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist), and DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization). Most chiropractors hold none of these. Second, she integrates exercise therapy and neurological retraining into every care plan — not just adjustments. Third, she specializes in complex cases that haven't responded to conventional treatment elsewhere.
DNS stands for Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization — a rehabilitation approach developed at the Prague School of Rehabilitation. It works by retraining the deep stabilization system of the spine at a neurological level, using developmental movement patterns. It's particularly effective for patients with chronic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, core instability, and cases where structural treatment alone hasn't produced lasting results. Not every patient needs DNS, but for the right cases it can be the missing piece.
It may well be. Dr. Lamarche's approach goes significantly deeper than a standard adjustment protocol — she addresses movement patterns, neuromuscular stabilization, breathing mechanics, and root-cause dysfunction rather than just the symptomatic area. Many of her patients came to her specifically because other providers didn't help. The only way to know is to start with a thorough evaluation.
Yes — athletes are a core part of the practice. Dr. Lamarche holds both her CCSP (Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician) and ATC (Athletic Trainer) credentials, giving her a background that is specifically oriented toward sports injury, performance, and return-to-play. She works with recreational athletes, competitive athletes, and anyone who trains consistently and wants to stay healthy doing it.
Yes. Pelvic floor dysfunction, diastasis recti, and postpartum core recovery are areas where Dr. Lamarche has significant experience. She addresses these conditions within the full context of the body's stabilization system — not just the pelvic floor in isolation — which is why patients who have done standard pelvic floor PT without full resolution often see results here.
This varies considerably depending on your condition, how long you've had it, and how your body responds. Dr. Lamarche will give you a realistic care plan with specific goals and a projected timeline after your evaluation. She does not push long-term maintenance programs — the goal is to get you well and keep you well with as little ongoing intervention as necessary.
Lipo Fat Melt is an FDA-cleared red light therapy device used for non-invasive inch loss. It uses specific wavelengths of light to temporarily shrink fat cells, and is typically used for body contouring in areas like the abdomen, hips, and thighs. Results vary, and it works best as part of a broader wellness approach. It is entirely separate from chiropractic care and has no downtime.
Book your evaluation and Dr. Lamarche will answer everything specific to your situation during your first visit.
