Durable Medical Equipment (DME)
At Monroeville Auto Accident Injury Chiropractic, we offer Durable Medical Equipment (DME) options to complement chiropractic care and help patients manage pain, improve mobility, support injured or vulnerable areas, and stay active during recovery.
Our Monroeville team can help determine whether supportive equipment may be appropriate for your condition and treatment plan. Depending on your individual needs, DME may provide additional support between office visits and during everyday activities.
Durable Medical Equipment available through our office may include:
How Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Works
DME works by providing support, stabilization, positioning, traction, or therapeutic stimulation, depending on the specific device.
For example, a brace may support an injured or vulnerable joint or spinal region, while a cervical traction unit applies controlled traction to the neck. A TENS unit uses electrical stimulation for pain management, and a heel lift alters heel height to address certain biomechanical needs.
At Monroeville Auto Accident Injury Chiropractic, the process may include:
- Evaluation: We assess your symptoms, health history, mobility, biomechanics, and musculoskeletal concerns.
- Recommendation: If DME is appropriate, we recommend equipment based on your individual needs.
- Proper Fitting: Braces and other supportive devices may require appropriate sizing, positioning, or adjustment.
- Patient Education: We explain how and when to use your equipment and discuss important precautions.
- Follow-Up: Your response to treatment and DME can be reassessed as your condition changes.
DME is often most effective when it is incorporated into a broader treatment strategy rather than viewed as a replacement for professional care.
DME is typically covered by insurance when applicable coverage requirements and medical-necessity criteria are met. However, insurance benefits vary significantly by carrier, policy, diagnosis, equipment type, and individual plan. Our team can help you understand the insurance process and available options.
Coverage is never guaranteed until your specific benefits and applicable requirements have been reviewed.
Contact our Monroeville office or call at (412) 214-8089 to ask about current DME availability, insurance considerations, and cash-pay options.
Our Online Reviews
Monroeville Auto Accident Injury Chiropractic is the best place in Pittsburgh to get your chiropractic services done. All physical therapy done are with the supervision of funny but yet professional Dr Shultz. All staff are professional and the NP that administered my Lidocaine injections was very helpful. Getting my therapy and injections done after my motor accident last year has been very challenging but they made it worth it. I highly recommend this place for all your physical therapy and joint pain. *

Very professional but fun group of people who actually care for you as an individual. Not just one size fits all for your specific needs. Very understanding. Was able to help me tremendously with my pain. Not just covering it up but actually fixing the problem where it started. Thank you for everything you have done. *
