FIND A GOOD CHIROPRACTOR

To find a good chiropractor is never an easy thing, but no more difficult that finding a good doctor, dentist, architect ...









Where to start

My advice is NOT to start with the biggest advert, the Yellow Pages, the best website (hence not me!) or flyers in the post. Begin by asking your friends, relatives, acquaintainces and, yes, even your doctor to help you find a good Chiropractor.





"THE LIFE SO SHORT, THE CRAFT SO LONG TO LEARN."

- HIPPOCRATES, father of Medicine.


Young -vs- Older?

A young Chiropractic physician is likely to be filled with enthusiasm, energy, and up to date with the latest research and ideas. But, s/he is short on experience.

Your older doctor of Chiropractic has cut his/her teeth with many years of experience, the hardest master. But, unless he keeps up to date with enthusiasm, he well have passed his sell-by-date!

A tough choice, both have their merits. My advice? Look for the doctor who is has a reputation for being conscientious, gives a thorough examination and does not seem to be constantly rushed off her/his feet.


REHABILITATION

Does s/he have a reputation for giving exercises? If not, you may find yourself going for treatment twice a week for the rest of your life. Well, an exaggeration of course, but you get the drift.

In my experience, patients who faithfully do their exercises and come occasionally for maintenance care have far fewer calamaties. And when they do, it often passes over without treatment.


DIRECT APPROACH

Are you anxious about a chiropractor who will be forthright, honest and direct? If you don't want to hear recommendations about how to get those extra 20kg off, why and how you should start exercising, why a good diet is vital for healthy cartilage in your joints, smoking, cholesterol... then it's best that choose carefully someone who will let you continue on your merry miserable path without comment. Because there's only pain ahead for those who will not hear.
