Chiropractic Question?

Question

How do you know whether the Chiropractor is good or not, what questions should I ask? Will they give out patient testomonies or allow me to speak to some patients {with their prior permission of course}.

What shall I ask?

Should I go check the place out first?

Do Chiropractors have any regulations board/certification, I am from the UK?

Answer 1

I was miself to a kiropractor and was a good step.I was seeing this man waching at tv .He was teling me without to say him before about many of my problems of healt .

Answer 2

I am unfamiliar of UK practices..but in the US it is regulated by the state board.  Doctors are required to persue continuing education ect.

I would ask friends or family first for referrals as not all chiros (or medical doctors for that matter) are the same.  Be wary of large pre-payments.

Also, from my experience, if you don't have some indication of improvement after 2-4 sessions...try another chiro before giving in to the drugs.  If there is improvement...continue treatment for a while after you feel "good".  Many people stop too quickly and don't get a long lasting effect.

Answer 3

I have been to 3 different ones because when I move, I find a closer one.  The one I go to now is excellent.  He learns from different classes and has different equipment than most.  He is very knowledgeable and even cured my plantar fasciitis.  When I told him my pain in my foot was so bad in the mornings and gave the other symptoms, he knew and treated me and told me to get a water bottle and freeze part of it and roll my foot over it for 10-15 min. a day.  After 2 treatments and me following his orders, I have had no more problems.  He fixes my headaches and does my neck with me in a chair, not lying down.  He keeps my head forward when he does my neck.  

You can ask about his continuing education history.  My chiropractor uses cold laser which you never have to disrobe for it to work on you.  It opens up signals from your brain to your spinal cord.  He tested my strength and only needed two treatments to complete it.  It really works.  

Don't be afraid to ask questions.  You can schedule a consultation and meet with him/her to see if you like his/her practice or them personally.  

My chiropractor had a bleed in his brain and cured himself with using the cold laser.  I am impressed with his knowledge.
