1. He listens
A good chiropractor will take the time to listen to your health challenges. He will ask questions to understand your concerns. Together, you will form goals to accomplish as you progress through your care.
2. He educates
Once your chiropractor understands your health challenges, he takes the time to explain the importance of a healthy spine and nerve system and how it is related to your health.
3. He analyzes
There are many different forms and styles of analyzing the spine and nerve system. Most chiropractors use some form of palpation to feel for muscle imbalances, spinal asymmetries, and areas of inflammation. Many chiropractors utilize x-rays as a more comprehensive and specific method of spinal analysis. Thermal scanning, EMG scanning, and leg checks are all tests that can gain important information about the function of your nerve system. Once all the data is collected, he explains exactly what and where your problem is and his course of action for correction. This explanation should be logical and concise. Never be afraid to ask questions before, during, and after your exam.
4. He gets results
When the developer of chiropractic, B.J. Palmer, was asked, "To what do you attribute your success?" he simply responded, "Results!" The primary responsibility of a chiropractor is to restore spine and nerve system function. If your chiropractor can do this and explain why it has improved, then you are definitely in the right office.
5. He has passion
As in any profession, the people who are the most successful and effective are the ones who love what they do. If you get a good vibe when you walk into the office or feel excited for your chiropractic appointment, chances are it is because of the passion that your chiropractor exudes. That passion alone can go a long way for restoring health to you and your family.
Choosing any health professional is a difficult task. Choosing the right chiropractor to optimize your spine and nerve system function is imperative to your healthy lifestyle. I hope the 5 keys above will help you evaluate and make the best decision for your health.
Abundant blessings,

Thank you Jessica for you sincere words. I am glad you found them useful. Please let me know if I can be of service and enjoy those future blogs!
DeleteI find the first tip really important. If a chiropractor knows how to listen well and carefully to his patients’ cry, then he can identify the process and technique that he is going to utilize. More importantly, if chiropractors show that they are actively listening, the patients will have the impression that their chiropractors are more than willing to help them restore their good health.

ReplyDeleteI find the third tip the most helpful. Chiropractors should know how to analyze the problem of the patient. Not all patients know exactly what’s wrong with their body, and it’s up to the chiropractor to determine that. He or she should be able to detect the factors causing the problem and determine what kind of treatment would be best for the patient.

Thanks for sharing. I've been looking for information on chiropractors in Mississauga. I need someone to take a look at my back. I threw it out last week and I'm still in a lot of pain.
ReplyDeleteRose,
DeleteI am glad the information helped. I will ask a few of my colleagues if they can make recommendations for you. What is the nearest largest city to you?

This is just what I needed to hear, thank you for sharing! I'm really big into fitness and recently during one of my recent activities I had an accident and my back has been killing me. My friend has recommended a chiropractor in Buffalo grove IL, that I would probably have great success with. I just want to be sure I get the right help.
ReplyDeleteLove this blog! I ruined my back as a child, probably doing too many situps, and now my lower back is in pain a lot. I am looking for a chiropractor in Scarborough to help. My old doctor just said that it was that the blood wasn't flowing through my back when I sit down for a while, but I think it is something more than that.
ReplyDeleteDr. Dan, you are good as gold when it comes to information! Really impressive. What should I know about my pregnancy and my increasing back pain? Should I see my chiropractor in Anchorage regularly?
ReplyDeleteI’m impressed with the special and informative contents that you just offer in such short timing.

ReplyDeleteAlso, if anyone is looking for or knows of a good chiropractor in Tinley Park IL, my cousin is looking for one, so we're happy to receive suggestions or share what we find. I swear, back problems don't run in the family, just bad luck.
ReplyDeleteI think this is exactly what makes a great chiropractor! Being friendly and personable goes a long way!

Whenever people ask for advice on how to locate the best chiropractor I tell them basically what you said in your article. I have always felt that any doctor who chooses to invest time into fully understanding their patient is one who will truly care for you. They will be the one's to listen, educate and show you results with your medical problems. If you can find a doctor who honestly cares for their patients, I believe then you have found the best doctor.

Thanks to your tips we have been able to find a chiropractor in Haines City FL that we really like. The explaining was a really big influence in our decision making process because my husband and I really like understanding our own bodies as well as the fact that once we understand what is causing the injury/pain we can make lifestyle adjustments to help reduce the things that cause it. Thanks again and I home your practice is doing great! http://www.davenportchiropracticpain.com
ReplyDeleteI began experiencing some back pain after an accident I had a few weeks ago. After ruling out a bunch of options, my doctor suggested I see a chiropractor. At first this kinda scared me. I've heard many scary stories about chiropractors and painful procedures they do. But my friend recommended lots of local ones to me that are supposed to be very good. Apparently they're no different from other specialized doctors. Hopefully I can find one that works for me. Thanks for the tips, they definitely help! http://www.yaegerchiropractic.com

Number four is my favorite bullet point: he gets results. A chiropractor who knows what he's doing will get good results. My neck has been out of alignment ever since my car wreck, and I can't effectively heal myself. cochiropractor.com
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips! I agree that it's very important for a chiropractor to educate you. No one wants to go to a doctor and have they perform work on you and not explain what they're doing, or why they're doing it. Having them explain helps you feel more comfortable and relaxed. http://www.oremchiropractor.com
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great advice! I've been having some really bad back pains for the past few weeks. I'm not entirely sure where this random pain started, but I was hoping that a chiropractor would be able to find out. How much do most chiropractors cost?

My mom is looking for a good chiropractor to help her with back pain. I really like your tip on finding a chiropractor who will educate you on how your spine and nervous system effect your overall health. Hopefully my mom can find a chiropractor who really understands the problems she is having and help her heal her injury. http://www.spinewise.com/
ReplyDeleteThanks for this simple guide! I think that the value of a chiropractor who takes the time to educate you during your visits is wholly underrated. It's an invaluable resource. Knowing exactly how to prevent future injury and how to best promote a complete recovery can mean the difference between pain and no pain. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. http://www.lakesfamilychiro.com.au/services
ReplyDeleteI agree that finding a chiropractor that listens is one of the first things to look for. You want someone who is going to hear all of your concerns and is going to respond by asking you different questions. I've never hired a chiropractor before, but am starting to look for one as I have had terrible back pain for the last couple months. I'll have to remember this the more I look for one! http://www.chiropracticcanhelp.com/
ReplyDeleteAll the tips on this list are valuable when trying to find a chiropractor, but the second point is one of the most important. Having a doctor who explains procedures and the reason for doing them, some of the worry and stress can melt away. Additionally, understanding what is happening and how to stay healthy can help prevent your back pain from getting worse. Thank you for the advice about chiropractors. http://www.templechiro.com
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's good to have a chiropractor that will listen and also analyze some stuff about your body. Such as the spine or the core where the pain is coming from. That's something that both my wife and I look for whenever we go to a new chiropractor.
