How to Explain Chiropractic to Others

How to Explain Chiropractic to Others              

 We cannot thank our family, friends, patients, and allied health care providers enough for referring patients to our practice. 

There is no other form of advertising that attracts the quality of patients as those our patients refer to us.

So, here's some information that may help you tell others about us:

Chiropractic has been around since 1895 and is the third
largest healthcare profession in the world:

The primary focus of treatment includes the
neuromusculoskeletal system  (nerves, muscles, joints) such as disk herniations (e.g., sciatica, pinched nerves), sprains and strains, sports injuries, neck pain (e.g., whiplash), headaches, and many others.

The treatment includes a "hands-on" approach where
massage, manual traction, joint manipulation and mobilization are commonly utilized.  In general, the treatment typically feels
good and patients look forward to the process.

In many cases (such as low back pain, neck pain, headaches),
chiropractic care may function as the primary or only treatment that is
needed.  However, when other medical
conditions co-exist, the combination of chiropractic and medical treatment is
often better than either one by itself (depending on the condition).

Doctors of chiropractic commonly refer back and forth with medical and osteopathic doctors, creating a "win-win" for the patient and providers.

Over the last 20-30 years, a significant volume of research
has been published finding chiropractic approaches to
be either equal or superior to other forms of healthcare provision for low back
and neck pain, headaches, and other conditions.

Many hospitals, medical clinics and VA facilities have
integrated chiropractic into their healthcare systems.   Medicare
and Medicaid have included chiropractic coverage since the 1970's and most
private insurers include chiropractic coverage due to the significant volume of
research reporting the benefits, cost savings, and patient satisfaction.

Your individual story may actually be the most important thing you can share.
