As there are many chiropractors & resources out there, there will be a lot of information on how to choose a good chiropractor.
We have identified 5 ways we believe will help you determine if the chiropractor is good or not.
Chiropractors today use many different techniques as their mode of treatment. Some choose their technique based on personal preference and some choices are based on their experiences. Nevertheless, there are a myriad of conditions that the right Chiropractor can help, including:
A Chiropractor should have personal & professional Integrity.
It is important because you have to trust that the Chiropractor is prescribing you the right amount of treatment sessions to ensure that you achieve the best results.
Trust and confidence is also important as they reflect the results of your condition at the end of the treatment. If Chiropractic treatment can’t help you, your Chiropractor should refer you to another healthcare professional to manage or co-manage your conditions.
Price is also another factor. We believe that prices should commensurate with the treatment and all costs should be transparent and mentioned upfront to the patient. At Healing Hands Chiropractic, our wellness care plan is dependent on our chiropractor’s assessment of your condition which ranges from $85 to $125 per session.

The training includes proper examination, Diagnosis of your condition, and proper treatment protocols (Chiropractic adjustments).
If a Chiropractor is lacking in any of these vital attributes, they shouldn’t be treating you.
Choose a trustable and experienced Chiropractor or Chiropractic Clinic with high standards and ethics.
Your Chiropractor should assess your condition by understanding your health history and current condition.
An initial physical examination (Checking posture, range of motion etc) + Diagnosis should be given to you on day of your consultation which includes evaluation of your condition and a thorough explanation of a well-planned prescribed treatment program.
These are some simple questions you can consider while researching on a clinic:
Some Clinics provide a variety of services which includes Chiropractic, TCM, and more.
Referring back to Tips #2 and #4 treating a variety of conditions does not imply that a Chiropractor is good; it shows a lack of focus and knowledge towards a profession’s practice. Although chiropractic treatment can treat certain disesases (if there isn’t contraindications for treatment), chiropractors should not claim that they cure conditions such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, or other illnessess.
Chiropractic treatment should be holistic and treat the root cause of the problem and not just the symptoms.
The right Chiropractor or Chiropractic Clinic will know when to refer you and/or co-manage your condition with the right specialist. Lastly, the right Chiropractor will always practice within their scope of practice and not deter from it for the sake of sales.
