Time to call a chiropractor?
But with so many options available, how do you know the best one for you? The right chiropractor can make a significant difference to how you manage your back and neck pain, so don’t just assume that any chiropractor is suited to you. Your health is precious; and so decisions regarding it shouldn’t be taken lightly. To ensure you choose a good chiropractor, we’ve listed a few questions to ask before making your first appointment:
Does the Chiropractor have a good reputation?
Ask your friends and relatives who they have seen and trust. Be careful of social mediam recommendations can be part of marketing strategies.
Does the Chiropractor offer a short free initial consultations?
Find out if the chiropractor offers initial free short consultations. This way, you know that your questions will be answered before you commit and pay for an examination and possibly. treatment. Maybe you have some questions along the lines of: How much experience do you have treating my condition? Experience counts for a lot! Regardless of how much a chiropractor has studied a particular condition, the amount of hands-on experience is what matters the most. Ask “What are your techniques”? Different chiropractors prefer different techniques – some may opt for more forceful manipulation while others may prefer a more gentle and gradual approach. It’s important that you discuss your own preferences with a chiropractor before treatment begins.
How long will my course of treatment last?
Different conditions take shorter or longer to help. If you have been told that you need to see someone twice a week for weeks or months, get a second opinion before comitting. Yes its true that some folk will need some intense treatment for some conditions, but most problems can be sorted out in just a few treatment sessions.
Has the Chiropractor offered discounted appointments and then suggested you need months of care?
Get a second opinionm. Many people fall for clever marketing ploys and end up with unnecessary long and expensive treatment plans.
Am I going to be treated in a private and well equipped treatment room and given the time needed to help me?
Some chiropractors have public treatment areas and see a patient for just a few minutes at a time. Is this what you would like?
Will I Need an X Ray?
A good chiropractor will only recommend that you undergo x rays if there is a valid reason for doing so. Be cautious if you are offered x rays as part of special offer or deal. They should only ever be carried out if there is a clear clinical need.
