What to Look for When Choosing a Chiropractor

Chiropractors can vary in their personalities, treatment options and techniques. There are several things to take into consideration, after all, your wellness depends on it. Here are some tips to help:

 

1. 1. Try to get a referral from friends, neighbors, family, or your primary medical doctor who may recommend a chiropractor.
2. 6. Make some phone calls, perhaps starting with the chiropractic office closest to you. Ask about appointment availability, insurance coverage, hours, etc. This is to see if you are treated with patience, courtesy and respect by the doctor’s office.

1. Check if any of the recommended chiropractors are covered by your insurance plan. If you receive a recommendation for someone not on that list, you might consider out of network benefits or even private payment.
2. Do a quality check for credentials by accessing your state licensing board’s website to confirm qualifications and any possible disciplinary action.
3. Research the condition(s) for which you are seeking treatment. There are any number of credible websites and library resources offering information on conditions like back pain, sciatica, and other conditions that are treated by chiropractors.
4. Visit the practice website. Many chiropractors have websites, and these can be informative. Are they patient-oriented? What is their process for new patients?
