How to Find the Right Chiropractor

Chiropractic treatment is a great solution for many people living with injuries, chronic pain or other health issues. Non-invasive, largely painless and drug-free, chiropractic techniques can realign your spine, rebalance your body and treat the underlying cause of your problems, not just the symptoms. 


 

Nevertheless, if you haven’t had chiropractic treatment before, you may be wondering where to start to look for a chiropractor you can trust. We understand that placing your health into the hands of another person can be daunting, but we’ve put together some of the things that you should consider when looking for chiropractic treatment.


 

Ask for recommendations



One of the first things that you should do when looking for chiropractic treatment for the first time is to ask around for recommendations. Chances are that you have a family member, colleague or friend who already visits a chiropractor. They may be able to tell you who they used and if they would recommend them. Alternatively, you could ask your doctor for a list of referrals. 

 



Find out if they accept your insurance



If your insurance covers chiropractic treatment, you’ll want to find out if your preferred clinic accepts your insurance and how many sessions will be covered. Chiropractic treatment usually involves a complete plan of care spanning weeks if not months and if your insurance will not cover everything, you’ll need to know what costs you could incur. Speak to the chiropractic clinic to ask how many sessions they estimate it will take to treat you, and what methods of payment they accept. 

 


Do your research



Needless to say, one of the most important elements of finding the right chiropractor is to do your research before you schedule an appointment. You need to look for several things. Firstly, that they have a Doctor of Chiropractic degree to ensure they have gone through rigorous training. Next, make sure that their license is up to date for your state. You can do this by calling their office and asking for their license number. 

 

It’s always worth speaking to the clinic to find out if the chiropractor has any specialties, as well as asking how much experience they have. This could make a difference as to whether they are the best chiropractor to treat you. 

 


Look for reviews



Any reputable chiropractor should have an online presence and customer reviews that you can look at before you make an appointment. Customer reviews should always be read with an element of caution as every patient is different and not all reviews will necessary be a true reflection of the skill or experience of the professional. However, they can be useful when shortlisting potential chiropractors. And if you can’t find any reviews online, it’s a massive red flag. 

 


Convenience



As we know, when chiropractic treatment involves a number of sessions over a series of weeks or months. Since you are committed for a reasonable period of time, it’s even more important to choose a chiropractor who operates at a location and at times that are convenient for you and your schedule. This may mean choosing one close to home or work, or that opens evenings or weekends. This will make it much easier to stick to your sessions without interruptions that could delay your treatment plan.
