How can I find a reliable chiropractor?
November 21, 2009
Veritas asked:
I’m having some chest and neck pain and just got checked out by my doc who found no cardiac or respiratory problems and ruled out stress/anxiety so he strongly feels it’s muscular/skeletal. I’m also having headaches that start in my neck. He recommended seeing a chiropractor but I have no idea how to start looking. What criteria do I use in choosing one? What are good questions to ask? Thanks!!

Got something to say?
I personally would go to the oldest guy you can find, like with 30 years experience. The new young guys try to swindle you by saying you need to come back over and over again. Stay away from the ones that claim to deal with holistic healing like treating depression, etc The older ones know that they are trained to heal muscular/skeleton problems and they will have you patched up in a few visits. The young guys need the money and will have you coming back10-20 times.
Call your doctor , tell him you don’t know of any. Which one wouldhe go to???
Call your local chiropractic association and get some names. You should be able to briefly meet a few at no charge and make your decision based on your “interview”.
Try talking to some people about there experiences or ask your doctor to give a personal reference on who to go to.
