How To Identify The Right Chiropractor Fairfax

By Jana Serrano


A patient who has severe back pain and joint pain usually wants to seek for medical aid but is unsure of the specialization of the doctor he needs. Before a person who has extreme back pain agrees to a surgery, it is important to know how to identify the right chiropractor Fairfax. In fact, some professionals and experts are not just available in hospitals but in private practice as well such as chiropractors.

Chiropractors practice chiropractic or chiropractic care. This is a non-invasive, non-medicinal method of health care. These professionals coordinate the spine or the body structure with the nervous system and the healing will begin from there. This process believes that any misalignment causes the pain that the patient is experiencing and will be healed by realignment.

The best source of recommendations for this health care practitioner is people who also care about your health - friends and family. Professionals in the same field are also good sources because of their expertise. Whenever, you always hear a name always being recommended, chances are, he is a good choice. You must remember though that the term "good chiropractor" is very subjective.

You may first call the practitioner before starting a full session of check up and assessment, but it is advisable this is done. Better yet, come to his clinic personally so you can see the staff, the clinic and the equipment. During this visit, you can also interview the staff about the chiropractor's credentials and his usual patients. If you are in line with a patient, you can interview him as well regarding the effectivity of the chiropractor's methods and his reliability.

While waiting for your appointment, you may chat with the staff and other patients as well. Be genuine with your objectives so that they will be open to answer your questions. Asking outright will make you sound suspicious and probing. With the staff, you may confirm the chiropractor's degrees and certifications. With the patients, you may confirm his effectivity and method.

The office staff is a good indicator of a professional practice. Are they attentive and caring? Don't hesitate to probe, albeit subtly. A good webpage will reveal the doctor's philosophy and methods of treatment. You can discern a lot by reading between the lines. Then check with the Council on Chiropractic education for accredited colleges. Be leery of any complaints.

A good practitioner will orient you with the process and warn you of (sometimes) shocking joint popping cause by realignments. Professionals will inform of the patient what to expect. The method to be performed to the patient will depend upon his preference.

You can also research on the techniques used by him. Doing so will enable you to talk the chiropractor's language. With this, you will better communicate your needs and his proposed cure. With the knowledge of the techniques, the patient can inquire about how he feels or thinks about a certain technique. This knowledge will also help the patient make intelligent decisions on which chiropractor to book depending on his specialization.

To make everything short, a good practitioner will not impose his own method. The method to be carried out to the patient will depend upon unique preference. He will recommend a series of treatments and it depends on the patient if he will push through or not. A good chiropractor will strike the balance and will patiently explain the need for treatment and for what each alignment is for.
