Once you feel that familiar pain in your back or neck, you know that it’s time to head to a chiropractor. However, choosing the right one can be a challenge because of the many options available.
Here are 5 tips on how to find the most qualified chiropractor for you:
Look for recommendations
The first step to finding the right chiropractor is by asking for recommendations and referrals from people you trust such as family, friends, and doctors. Doctors have a wide network of professional connections and can easily recommend you to the qualified chiropractors that they know. Family and friends can give you first-hand information about their experiences with their chiropractors.
You can also check the website of the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) for any chiropractors near you. Just keep in mind that an approach that might have worked for your Aunt Rita may not work for you. It’s important to keep an open mind before starting treatment.
Check out their credentials
Nowadays, most professional information can be accessed online, making it easier for you to check credentials. If your potential chiropractor has a website, a LinkedIn account, or a professional Facebook account, you’ll also typically see their educational information and certification there.
Ask about their experience as a chiropractor
After narrowing down your list of chiropractors, schedule a phone or face-to-face interview. It’s essential to conduct this kind of interview because it allows you to ask your chiropractor more in-depth questions about their experience in chiropractic care.
You can also ask about the conditions he or she has treated and the kinds of treatments they used. Knowing how long they have been a chiropractor will give you more insight about their knowledge and experience.
Inquire about their specialization
Another important factor in choosing a chiropractor is their specialization. Chiropractors have different fields of specialization and many go on to focus on just one or two fields, so you will find everything from chiropractic pediatrician specialists (DICCP) to chiropractic physiotherapy and rehabilitation specialists (DACRB) to acupuncture specialists (DABCA).
Once you know more about their specialization/s as well as the common treatment methods and techniques they use, you can decide whether or not their treatment is best suited for your particular condition.
Observe the rapport
A successful treatment is also defined by your chiropractor’s approach and rapport with you. During your interview with the chiropractor, observe how they interact with you and how you feel around them. Do you feel comfortable talking to them? Or do they lack the rapport that you are looking for?
Having rapport with a chiropractor is vital because it allows you to talk freely with your chiropractor, making your chiropractic experience a positive one.
