FAQs
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AT ORIGIN SPINE AND WELLNESS?
60-minute first visit: history, neuro + ortho screen, Applied Kinesiology, movement testing, baseline pain/function metrics, and same-day first treatment if appropriate.
You’ll see your individualized plan and total cost before you commit. Most initial plans run for 12 weeks, with visits once or twice a week.
Many feel progress within a few visits.
DO YOU DO NEURO EMOTIONAL TECHNIQUE (NET)?
Yes! Dr. Murphy is the only certified NET practitioner in SE Idaho. If you previously received NET from another practitioner, we are happy to continue care for you.

WHAT IS A PRIVATE MEMBERSHIP ASSOCIATION?
A PMA is an organization that provides private, member-to-member contracts for services rather than services available to the general public. This right to operate and contract privately is guaranteed by the 1st and 14th amendments of the United States Constitution.

DO I HAVE TO BE A MEMBER?
Short Answer: Yes.
Because we are a private membership association, we only provide services on a privately contracted, member-to-member, cash basis. Our services are not offered to the general public, and so you must become a member of our association ($10 one-time fee for lifetime membership) prior to receiving services.
CAN YOU HELP WITH MY SYMPTOMS?
We focus on function and quality of life. Common patterns we see:
- Chronic pain that limits life (neck, back, shoulder, headaches/migraines)
- Nerve issues (numbness/tingling), balance problems
If we’re not the best fit, we’ll tell you and provide a referral.
DO YOU TAKE INSURANCE OR MEDICARE?
We are a private membership association (PMA) and a cash-based entity.
Because our care is individualized and diagnostic-driven, it doesn’t fit into insurance billing models built around standardized visits.
- HSA/FSA accepted.
- Superbills provided for potential out-of-network reimbursement by non‑Medicare plans.
Origin Spine and Wellness does not provide services covered by Medicare.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
- Whole‑body diagnostics
- Individualized adjustments
- Holistic nutrition

If we need to refer you out, we will refund any unused portion of your plan.
Active wellness members (recurring monthly charge) receive limited complimentary flare-support visits each year.
The above are membership benefits, not health insurance or a guarantee of specific outcomes.

Your reserved exam can be cancelled up to 24 hrs. before your appointment for a full refund.
