What to Consider When Visiting a Chiropractor for the First Time
Before visiting a chiropractor for the first time, you should do some research to make sure you’re choosing one who is experienced, knowledgeable, and specialized in the treatment area in which you need help. At Destination Wellness Center, our chiropractors in Manalapan, NJ, have extensive experience in chiropractic care, holistic wellness, orthotics, nutrition, ergonomics, therapeutic exercise, and lifestyle modification.
Reviews and Ratings
First, you should consider the chiropractor’s reviews and ratings. If they don’t have reviews displayed on their website or social media pages, you can check websites like Yelp, Google, Facebook, and the Better Business Bureau. Keep in mind that all businesses occasionally get bad reviews; however, if you see reviews that suggest the doctor was unprofessional, unskilled, unclean, unfriendly, unsafe, or unhelpful, you should look for another chiropractor. At Destination Wellness Center, we have 5-star ratings on Google, Facebook, and Yelp.
Experience and Specialties
Next, review the chiropractor’s experience and specialties. In order to practice as a chiropractor, one must graduate from an accredited chiropractic college and pass rigorous board exams administered by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners. One must also be licensed in their state and pass a state licensing exam and background check and submit references. Your chiropractor should outline in their biography on their website what college they went to and if they are board certified or specialized in certain areas. They should also indicate how many years they have been practicing.
Treatment Philosophy
If possible, schedule an initial consultation with a chiropractor before you commit to becoming a patient. At that consultation, you can get a tour of the office, meet the chiropractor and their team, and figure out if they are a good fit for you. You can also ask them about their treatment philosophy, or the way they approach chiropractic care and healthcare. At Destination Wellness Center, our treatment philosophy is to unlock the body’s natural ability to heal itself through chiropractic care. Our goal is to relieve pain, improve function and mobility, prevent future injury, enhance overall health and wellness, and improve quality of life.
