Identifying The Right Chiropractor Fairfax

By Jana Serrano


A specialist in back and neck pain is in high demand. It just so happens that it is the purview of a chiropractor Fairfax. The right one can alleviate discomfort through spinal manipulation in the confines of his or her own office. Surgery and medication are not part of the process. Hence the wide appeal of the profession. It is in high demand as the population ages.

Many people suffer ailments that originate in misalignment of the spine. They don't need necessarily to go to an osteopath or orthopedist. Chiropractic care is a viable alternative form of therapy that has been proven effective. It is usually covered by one's health insurance. Healing begins and ends with the backbone. It is the pillar of the body and the heart of the musculoskeletal system.

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.

Through the internet, you can do your own background check for the medical practitioner. You can check if there are cases filed against him. You can also check on the website of the Council on Chiropractic Education if the college he attended is accredited.

A good or a professional health care practitioner will not surprise you with sudden body manipulation. This will be traumatic on your part. He must orient you first, try to correct your lifestyle because more often than not, unhealthy habits are the causes of illnesses.

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.

In summary, a good practitioner will recommend the best process to heal to a patient. The patient will still give the final decision. A good medical practitioner will explain the pros and cons of the treatment and will never force a patient to a treatment he rejects.
