No Two Chiropractors Are Alike….

There are as many chiropractic techniques as there are chiropractors. No two chiropractors practice the same way. Some chiropractors only use their hands to provide chiropractic treatment (known as an adjustment). Others use mechanical devices to adjust the spine.

I have heard a few people say, “I tried chiropractic once and it didn’t work.” I always ask them a few questions…. What did your chiropractor do? How long did you go to the chiropractor? Did you get any relief? Did your chiropractor try to refer you to another chiropractor?

Inevitably, I almost always come to the conclusion, that this person didn’t really give chiropractic a try.

In my clinic, in the rare instance that a patient does not respond to treatment within 2 weeks, we sit down and discuss different treatment measures. Sometimes it is as simple as trying a different adjusting technique, or adding different exercises. Sometimes we refer to a medical specialist or even another chiropractor. Our prevailing concern is always for the patient.

There are many chiropractic ways to treat neck and back pain, headaches, auto accident injuries and most musculoskeletal conditions. It is the partnership between the patient and chiropractor that helps determine which chiropractic treatment technique works the best.
