About Aperta Health + Chiro Shack

Open, by design.

Aperta is Latin for open. It's a membership that opens the same fair visit rate at every participating clinic, each one run by an independent chiropractor who is genuinely your doctor.

Book a visit

The short version

Three names. One visit.

01

Your doctor

An independent chiropractor with their own practice. You're their patient, they set their clinical approach, and they bill you directly for visits. Nobody stands between you.

02

Chiro Shack

The places. Small standalone clinics in the neighborhoods where people actually live, each one leased to a doctor who runs their practice out of it. Some network clinics are independent offices under their own name.

03

Aperta Health

The membership. One monthly plan, one flat visit rate, honored by every participating doctor in the network. Optional, cancel anytime, and it covers your whole household if you want it to.

Why we built it

Good chiropractic care shouldn't be a luxury, or a maze.

Dr. Matt Hales started this after years of watching the same thing happen: people who needed an adjustment put it off because the price was a mystery, the insurance was a fight, or the office wanted a twelve-visit plan before anyone touched their back.

So the model was built backwards from that. Keep the clinic small and close to home. Let a good doctor run it as their own practice, without the overhead of building one from scratch. Put the price on the wall. And make the membership open: one rate, every clinic, no referral, no contract, and no card on file just to have an account.

Chiro Shack and Aperta Health provide the buildings, the scheduling, the membership and the app. The doctors provide the care. That split is the whole idea, and it's why we'll always say it plainly.

Who you'll see

The doctors in the network

Each one runs their own independent practice. Chiro Shack and Aperta Health don't employ them; they open the door and keep the lights on. When you book, you're booking with the doctor.

Idaho Falls Chiro ShackMiddleton Chiro Shack

I founded Chiro Shack on a simple idea: chiropractic care should be accessible to every family — not just when the pain gets unbearable. I studied at Parker College of Chiropractic and have been adjusting patients ever since. My approach adapts to you — traditional hands-on, gentler techniques, whatever your body responds to best. Outside the office I’m a dad of six and a grandpa, so I know firsthand what it means to need affordable, reliable care for a whole family. Getting adjusted is a partnership. I’m glad you’re here.

Star Chiro Shack

Dr. Marion is the chiropractor at Chiro Shack Treasure Valley. He came to this kind of practice for the same reason a lot of patients come to us: the chance to do real chiropractic care without the insurance maze, the long intake forms, or the upsell. He'll walk you through what he's seeing, do the work, check in on how it feels, and get you back to your day. New to chiropractic and a little nervous? That's normal — he'll explain everything before he does anything. Kids welcome.

Book with Dr. PressAbout the clinic

Chiro Shack is a network of leased clinic locations and Aperta Health is a membership program; neither is itself a medical practice. Every provider in the network runs their own independent practice, sets their own clinical policies, and bills patients directly for visits.

Before your first visit

The questions people ask us most.

Do you take insurance?

No, and it's deliberate. The independent doctors in the network bill cash-pay only, which is what keeps the rates flat and transparent: $25 a visit for members, $52 otherwise. For most people the member rate is less than an insurance copay.

What's a first visit like?

Book online, fill out a short intake and sign consent from your phone, then come in. Your doctor will ask what's going on, explain what they're seeing, and check in with you the whole way through. No ID or insurance card needed.

Is chiropractic safe? Who am I actually seeing?

Every provider in the network is a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic in their state, running their own practice. They focus on what chiropractic is demonstrably good at, and they'll tell you up front if what you're describing isn't something they should be your first stop for.

Can I bring my kids?

Yes. Families are the point. One account covers your household, a parent signs consent from their phone, and the Family plan puts everyone at the member rate.
