What are the red flags for Chiropractors?
Chiropractic care can be a great way to manage and relieve back and neck pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall health. However, not all Chiropractors are created equal. Here are some red flags that might indicate it’s time to look elsewhere.
- No thorough initial evaluation
A reputable Chiropractor should start with a comprehensive health history, physical examination, and possibly any necessary x-rays.
2. Lack of customized care plan or follow up care
Good care evolves with your needs and a lack of a plan or follow up evaluations could mean they are not invested in your long term health.
3. Refusal to answer questions
The doctor/patient relationship is dependent on proper communication. If they dodge your questions or concerns, this is a sign of poor communication.
4. Limited experience
Doctors with limited experience and minimal hands on care may not provide the best care or get the best results.
In conclusion, trust your instincts when visiting any type of provider. Look for Chiropractors who are evidence and results based. Use resources and trusted health sites for reviews and referrals.
