About Healing Hands Chiropractic & Weight Loss

What is Healing Hands Chiropractic & Weight Loss?

Healing Hands Chiropractic & Weight Loss is a chiropractic practice at 364 Burncoat Street, Worcester, MA 01606. It says it has served Worcester since 2003. Dr. Kelly Cao, D.C., is the founder and chiropractic physician. Alongside chiropractic care and auto accident care, the clinic offers therapeutic massage and three weight loss and body contouring options: Natural Weight Loss, which uses real food and no medications, GLP Weight Loss, and Body Contouring. It has a 4.8 Google rating from 100 reviews.

The GLP program is the one that involves medication, and the clinic is clear about who prescribes it. In its own words: "Dr. Cao does not prescribe medications." An independent licensed physicians group that the clinic does not name prescribes the medication. It is compounded at a US-licensed compounding pharmacy and shipped to you. Dr. Cao coaches you through a three-month program with weekly check-ins, in-office or virtual, after a 10-minute qualification call. The clinic does not name the medications.

What does it cost?

The GLP Weight Loss Metabolism Reset, the three-month coaching track, is about $1,500. Medication is billed separately by the partner physicians group, so it is not included in that figure. The first consultation has no cost. Prices for ChiroThin and body contouring are not published, and they are reviewed at consultation. Chiropractic and massage prices are not listed either.

The clinic accepts some insurance plans, plus FSA and HSA funds. It also says weight loss programs are typically not covered by insurance, but HSA and FSA funds are often eligible. Some programs offer payment plans. Appointment changes need at least 24 hours notice. Cancellation terms for the GLP program are not fully stated.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask the clinic to name the partner physicians group, and confirm that a physician reviews your health history before any prescription is written. Ask which GLP-1 medication you would receive, and what "compounded" means for that medication in your case. Ask for one monthly total that includes the medication. Ask whether lab work or physician follow-up costs extra, since the clinic does not say. Ask how virtual check-ins work and for the actual office hours, because the clinic lists only weekdays with early morning appointments. Ask how you cancel the three-month program and what happens when it ends. For ChiroThin or body contouring, ask for the price before you commit.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want chiropractic or massage care in Worcester alongside doctor-guided weight loss coaching, and you can pay about $1,500 for the coaching plus medication out of pocket or with HSA or FSA funds. The GLP program is described for adults with 20+ lbs to lose, so confirm you qualify before you book. If you need a single monthly figure or the prescribing group named before you pay, get those answers first.
