What Makes A Good Chiropractor? “What makes a good chiropractor?” Firstly, let’s consider what such a question as “what makes a good chiropractor?” tends to suggest; which is to basically say that there must be both “good” and “bad” practitioners. To be honest, I don’t know that to be a true statement about the chiropractic profession, because for some seemingly naturally organic reason this seems to be one sector of the healing profession which tends to attract practitioners that are totally focused on ethics and sincere service to people that are in many cases desperately looking for real help and a solution to a very serious and often painful problem. With that said; I understand that as long as there is a universal notion that there is both “good” and “bad” that exists within each trade or profession, then a certain amount of carefulness is appropriate even if it only makes you feel better at the end of the day. It would have to be said that with a thing as sensitive and as crucially imperative as “good spinal health”, that you do need to be assured that you’re in excellent hands. In the greater majority of circumstances this could be the case with most chiropractors, but the peace of mind of absolutely knowing that you are in the greatest of care and under the expert treatment of an astute and caring professional can be the one primary thing that makes you relax into the therapy, and as a result of this, the healing is often a lot more effectual and in many cases can place you onto a faster course of healing because of it. It might be more fitting to label a “good” chiropractor as one that personally suits you the best. At our chiropractic clinic we aim to match you with a chiropractor that you will be comfortable with and additionally one who can empathize with you and speak clearly and talk directly into your problem and focus on the suitable remedial therapy and solution to your illness or injury. A good chiropractor will be one who takes a completely holistic approach to your healing, and one who will be capable of enabling your freer overall bodily function and control, along with enhancing your overall comfort, relaxation and balance. Saying that is in fact somewhat a natural and obvious statement to make regarding a chiropractor because by nature that’s precisely what they are trained to do, - to examine the areas in which there is obstruction and then work with the patient to bring about a natural remedy as efficiently as possible and with minimal pain or discomfort. The science of chiropractic is by no means any type of random therapy or happenstance curative technique. It is in fact, very much a defined science of the treatment of the spine, and one in which the patient can rely upon having a healthy and properly aligned spine where the complete vertebrae is in correct alignment. Most people don’t ever really appreciate the significance of this fundamental and simple fact until they are themselves affected by some physical problem that impacts upon them and they eventually realize that the issue is totally “back related”; such a realization generally coming about as a result of a medical professional or chiropractor bringing it to their attention. Then, with proper treatment and manipulation of the spine, the natural and harmonious healing effect will start to take place. A good chiropractor will of course have gone through proper educational process and training and will possess a profound comprehension of the principles and application of all aspects of chiropractic discipline. In fact it’s quite difficult to imagine the high degree of training and knowledge and discipline that goes into the making of a fully qualified doctor of chiropractic (D.C.), but once you personally experience the support and insight of such a professional then you’ll begin to understand what a critically important contribution that chiropractors make to the medical and healing profession. Something that you’ll notice with a good chiropractic doctor is his or her capacity to listen and to ask questions. Typically they’ll discuss their prognosis with you fully and they’ll let you know what they are doing throughout particular procedures so that you are working with them instead of against them, and against a process that you don’t understand or may in fact feel nervous or uncertain about. This is very much an important aspect that we focus on at our chiropractic clinic, as we know from experience, the amount of value our patients place upon this type of dialogue, caring and methodical treatment. Many people seek out chiropractic attention as an alternative to the more invasive alternative of surgery, or maybe because they have a persisting painful problem which may perhaps have manifested through stress or physical injury. Whether this displays as an inveterate low-back pain, neck pain, headaches or other conditions such as fibromyalgia, a good chiropractor will be skilled at recognizing the signs and diagnosing the condition and the remedial treatment. A good chiropractor looks at his or her role not just as a “back cracker” but as a holistic doctor that has knowledge and skill that is suitable for many diseases and conditions, because if there is a spinal misalignment, the skilled chiropractor understands that a proper course of corrective therapy can work wonders to help the body’s inherent healing capacity. At our chiropractic clinic we firmly believe that we are very good practitioners of chiropractic but naturally we’re somewhat biased, even though it is for very sound reason. Accordingly, we invite you to come and ascertain for yourself as to whether or not were as good as we think we are, and allow us put your mind at ease as to various ways that we can assist you and how we might become a critically important component in your overall good health and physical wellbeing. If you do afford us that chance, then we can reassure you that as always, we’ll be doing our best to impress you with our professionalism and our ability to diagnose your condition and work with you to bring about an effective solution and restore you to the best possible standard of health once again.
