10 Things to Look For When Choosing a Chiropractor
A lot of people we meet in and around Toronto ask
us: “How do I know if I’m choosing the right chiropractor or not?” To help you in your quest for better health we created a list of
things to look for when choosing a Chiropractor!
- They take X-Rays. An initial history and examination are great, and will
help the doctor
to form an understanding of what is going on, but it doesn’t
allow you to see everything. X-rays allow your chiropractor to see through
your
body and identify whether it is safe or not to adjust your spine, but
also it allows us to identify any damage, the degree of damage,
and any
underlying structural changes that need addressing.
- They don’t adjust you the same day. There are exceptions to this
such
as emergency situations, but generally your doctor should spend some time
reviewing your file and determining an appropriate course
of care.
- They personally review the results of your exam and x-rays. You
need to understand what caused your health concern. You
go to a doctor to
get answers and results. Reviewing and explaining your findings gives you
answers.
- They outline a course of care
for you in writing. A doctor should have
researched your condition and should be able to tell you what is needed for
treatment before
starting care. This way, you have a direction where you
are going, a time frame to achieve your results, and all the costs associated
with
your treatment. No more hidden fees or “just keep coming in” type of
care.
- They actually adjust your spine. Not all adjustments
make the
big “crack” sound, but an adjustment is what makes a chiropractor a
chiropractor. It is unique to our profession, and has the
most profound
results for patients.
- They get results. Healthcare is tricky. Everyone is unique and has
different issues affecting
their care, which is why a cookie cutter approach doesn’t work. Sometimes people respond right away or may be longer
depending on how
long the cause has been there. But as we talked about
before, all this information should be outlined for you in writing.
- They
routinely monitor your progress and ask for feedback. Progress
exams give the doctor feedback as to how you are progressing and allow
the
doctor to adapt your care plan to how you are responding.
- They care about you as a patient. Are you a number or a patient?
It
doesn’t take long to figure this one out.
- They treat the cause and not the symptoms. Symptoms are a result
of something going
wrong. If we don’t correct what is going wrong, then
symptoms will return. Correct the cause, not it’s effect. It’s the same as
concept
as providing care for the patient with the disease, not the disease
itself.
- At the end of your care, they take x-rays to show
you the change.
Feeling great is fantastic and it’s why people come to see us, but you what to
SEE that you have corrected the problem.
Make
sure you can check everything off this list when you are trying to decide where to go. Every single patient that steps through our
door can check off all ten on this list.
Call us at 416-504-8880 to book an initial assessment, or if you prefer, ask if you can come
in and just talk to Dr. Hannikainen (Dr. Matt is fine….) and see if he is right for you.
Have a great day!
