Five Tips for Choosing a Chiropractor
Royal Palm Chiropractic & Wellness knows how important the decision was to finally decide that you need to see a chiropractor. For many of our patients the decision was easy on which chiro doctor to use. For some though there are some there was a lot more that went into their decision. We understand this, and here are five common tips that help in aiding the decision.
1 – Check the Chiropractor’s Credentials
A chiropractor’s license is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing a chiropractor. It tells you that the chiropractor has the necessary training, skills and experience to provide chiropractic care. Also confirm that the chiropractor has no history of malpractice claims or disciplinary actions.
2 – Research the Chiropractor’s Experience
The more experience a chiropractor has with a condition or procedure, the better your results are likely to be. Ask how many patients with your specific condition the chiropractor has treated. If you need a specific procedure, ask how many of the procedures the chiropractor has performed and find out about complication rates.
3 – Read Over Patient Reviews
Reading what other people have to say about a chiropractor can provide insight into how the chiropractor provides care, as well as how their practice is operated. Patient reviews typically reflect people’s experience with scheduling appointments, wait times, office environment, and office staff friendliness.
4 – Ask For Referrals
Ask your primary care doctor for a referral list of chiropractors. You can also ask family, friends and other healthcare providers for recommendations. Take the time to research the chiropractors’ credentials and experience. As you narrow down your list, call each chiropractor’s office to see if he or she is accepting new patients. If so, ask for an appointment to meet and interview the chiropractor.
5 – Evaluate Communication Style
Choose a chiropractor with whom you are comfortable talking to and who supports your information needs. When you first meet the chiropractor, ask a question and notice how they respond. Does he or she welcome your questions and answer them in ways that you can understand?
