1. Program overview
Apollo Upper Cervical Chiropractic sends text messages about your care and your appointments from a toll-free number. They go to patients who have given us their mobile phone number and agreed to receive them. The messages come from the practice on behalf of its offices in SoHo (New York City), Astoria (Queens) and Massapequa (Long Island).
This is an account and appointment program. We do not send marketing or promotional text messages.
2. Message types
If you have agreed to receive texts, you may get:
- Appointment reminders, and a way to change or cancel a visit
- The link to your new-patient forms after you book
- A check if you have not arrived for an appointment
- Portal security codes, when you sign in to the patient portal
- Replies from the office to a message you send us

3. Message frequency and cost
Message frequency varies with your appointments and with the messages you send us.
Message and data rates may apply. Your mobile carrier bills those charges. Apollo does not charge you for receiving our texts. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
4. How consent is obtained
We ask for your agreement on the three forms on this website where you give us your mobile number: the online booking form, the request for an earlier appointment, and the Contact form. The box is unchecked until you check it. Each form needs it checked before it can be sent, because we use your mobile number to confirm your visit and remind you of it.
Agreeing to texts is not a condition of care. You can book by calling any of our offices, and you can opt out of texts at any time. We record that you agreed, with the date and time.
This is the checkbox exactly as those forms show it, unchecked, as a patient first sees it:
I agree to receive appointment texts and e-mails from Apollo Upper Cervical Chiropractic, such as reminders and my new-patient forms. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of care. See our SMS terms and privacy policy. *
5. Opt-out and help
To opt out, reply STOP to any text from us at any time. You will get a message confirming it, and no further texts from us until you opt back in. To opt back in, reply START.
For help, reply HELP to any text from us. You will get this reply:
Apollo Upper Cervical Chiropractic: for help call 212-634-9656 or visit apollochirony.com. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out.
You can also call us at 212-634-9656, Mon–Fri, 9am–7pm.
6. Privacy
We do not share, sell, or otherwise provide your mobile phone number or text-messaging consent to any third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. We use your number only to send the messages described on this page. Our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use say more.
