How to Select the Best Chiropractor

July 5, 2017 By Dr David Perna DC

You’re looking for a chiropractor, so you start asking around.  You’ll get more than one opinion about every name that comes up.  Keeping in mind that you’re not talking to medical professionals, the friends and acquaintances referral route doesn’t always pan out.

That’s why it’s essential that you go about your search in an organized and systematic way.  You need to find someone with whom you have a good rapport – someone you personally feel comfortable with.  What’s a good fit for your coworker may not be good for you.

So, let’s explore how to select the best chiropractor by doing your homework and checking in with reliable sources of information.

Primary care giver.

Your primary care giver is ground zero for recommendations.  If your GP has been around for awhile, he or she will be aware of other medical professionals in the region and their reputations.  He or she will have had a lot of feedback about them from patients.

Ask who your GP would recommend to a family member.  This question will at least get you closer to your goal of finding a chiropractor you feel comfortable with and have confidence in.

Online reviews.

online review five starsOnline reviews have a purpose.  While they’re not 100% reliable, they can give you a good overview about the public consensus on the chiropractors you’re looking at.

Remember, of course, that some online reviews are generated by people who have personal bones to pick, so look for trends which indicate either satisfaction or dissatisfaction.

Areas of specialization.

A visit to a chiropractor’s website will provide you with quite a lot of information about proficiency, practice and specialties.  You’ll also find out how engaged your chiropractor is with patients and others who come to the website by checking the content.  Is there valuable information there?

Knowing what each chiropractor you’re researching specializes in helps you narrow the search.  If you’re seeking a chiropractor, it’s most likely for a specific condition.  Does the chiropractor you’re checking out appear to offer targeted care for what ails you?

The interview.

Booking a consultation with the chiropractors, your short list is a big part of how to select the best chiropractor to treat you.  This is where you get to meet your chiropractors in person and find out how relatable they are.

As I said earlier, your comfort level is the prime indicator of how fruitful the relationship will be.  Do you feel comfortable asking questions?  Do you like the chiropractor?  These may sound like minor considerations, but with chiropractic care, you’re going to be allowing a medical practitioner to manipulate your body, so you want to be able to communicate effectively and feel completely at ease with the treatment and who’s providing it.

I hope these tips about how to select the best chiropractor for you have helped.  In the meantime, it doesn’t hurt to know that I’m here at Back & Body, practicing chiropractic care in our multi-disciplinarian facility.

Right?  Book a consultation to meet me!
