5 Tips to Find a Quality Chiropractor

So you are having pain in your body that is not going away. Pain in the low back that is radiating down your leg or pain in the neck that is causing headaches. If you are wondering how to choose a good Chiropractor here are 5 tips.

1. Research the doctor’s background and credentials.

Research the doctor’s background and credentials. You’ll want to make sure any doctor you go to will have the knowledge, training, skills, and experience necessary for their specialty. This is especially true when dealing with such an important part of your body, your spine. There are 46 Chiropractic schools in the world. Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA is where Chiropractic was started and developed. It is the epicenter and Highest rated Chiropractic school in the world.

2. Read their patient reviews.

You can gain a lot of insight about the performance of the chiropractor and how well their office operates based on online patient reviews. With this, you can easily gain an overall understanding of what the general patient experience will be like by reading about the experiences others have already had. This is a great way to discover how much attention and care they put into each patient’s visit, how well they handle scheduling, and how pleasant the staff is towards their patients.

3. Doctors attention & competence

Does your doctor ask plenty of questions and listen intently to each of your responses? Is he/she performing ortho, neuro, muscular function, postural tests & X rays? This will help your doctor gain better insight into your problem. Does your Doc give you insight into a few diagnoses they are contemplating as they assess you?

4. Clearly defined treatment program and honest end goal (prognosis)

Once the Doctor completely understands your symptoms, puts to memory your full history and assesses all the testing, then a clearly defined program of care should be explained. Also the end goal should also be clearly defined. You should know why you are doing xyz and also what the outcome should be. Also what you can do at home currently and in the future to progress in your health.

5. They will try to avoid long-term treatments

 There is a huge difference between long term treatment plans and treatments that will last long-term. Depending on the issues you are experiencing, if a chiropractic office insists on long term treatment plans (ex: 5 visits per week for 6 months) rather than finding a long-term solution that takes less visits, it may be time to find a better chiropractor
