Step 1: Know How a Good Chiropractor Near You Can Help

Blair chiropractors can help you with many different conditions. However, is you feel well already that is the best time to get your upper neck checked to see if you are in alignment. If not correct it to prevent future health problems. The following conditions have responded well to chiropractic care:

Some chiropractors believe that chiropractic care is the only for pain treatment. Others see chiropractic as a vehicle to improve central nervous system function and as a result allowing the body to recover from whatever it can as best it can. Many patients around the country have received relief and healing from many health conditions by using chiropractic.  While chiropractic is NOT a CURE ALL it is a vital component to one’s health program. When looking for a chiropractor near you, it is important to decide which type of chiropractor is right for you.  While everyone would like to feel better everyone is at a different place in their understanding of health. There are chiropractors who will just “treat” your pain and there are others that will help you recover your lost health through a long-term healing program. As we’ll discuss below, chiropractors will share on their website what they’re most focused seeing in their office. You can get a great idea about a chiropractor’s office by looking at their website.  Many will give a FREE CONSULTATION where they may discuss their philosophies about care so you can find one that matches how you see health care.

Step 2: Understanding Educational Requirements For All Chiropractors

Chiropractors in all 50 states in the U.S. are required to complete a doctor of chiropractic degree (DC) and pass a four-part boards exam following graduation. A typical DC degree follows a course of study to obtain a doctorate of Chiropractic Degree.

  • Biochemistry, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, pathology, nutrition, public health, embryology, and many other subjects
  • Philosophy and practice of chiropractic
  • Research methods and procedures
  • Ethics, Jurisprudence
  • Patient care (outpatient clinical care)

Also, most states require up to 24 hours of annual continuing education requirements. These courses are designed to make sure that the practicing chiropractor stays up to date with laws and practice procedures and allows them to delve deeper into a subject that they may focus on.

Depending on how much information a chiropractor posts to their website, they may also list additional certifications or research-areas they’re also qualified in. For example, if you are looking for someone that focuses all their attention on the neck an upper cervical chiropractor is ideal.

Step 3: Ask For Recommendatio​​​ns For a Chiropractor Near Me

WE already mentioned this, however, word of mouth referrals are powerful. If you are lucky enough to have family or friends who regularly visits a chiropractor, ask them for help finding a “chiropractor near me.” A license to practice shows that the doctor has passed tests, however, it does not mean they are skilled.  Chiropractic, like other professions, has competent providers and those that are not.  A word of mouth referral can tell you about their bedside manner and demeanor. It helps to keep in mind what kind of doctor you generally prefer. Whether you like a warm, caring doctor or a capable but business-like doctor, a recommendation from a family member or friend may be able to help.

Step 4: Visit a Trusted Website

In the age of the internet, qualifications, recommendations, and negative reviews (or board censures) are just a click away. Once you have a list of potential doctors, head to one of the following user-sourced websites to check them out:

Yelp

Google Reviews

Rate MD’s

By reading online reviews you can get a pretty good sense of the type of doctor you will be visiting. Also, you will be able to determine the types of conditions and cases the office and doctor typically see. Online research is invaluable.

Step 5: Getting Ready for Your First visit

Once you find a chiropractor near you, get ready for your first visit. Many chiropractic offices have their forms online so you can print them out and have them ready prior to your visit. Make sure that you have a list of questions that you would like answered. Most chiropractors offer a FREE CONSULTATION in their office and during that time you can get your questions answered.

During your initial visit, your chiropractor will take a detailed history, run tests to determine whether you are a candidate for care and then make a recommendation of care. After that usually x-rays are then taken to determine the direction of your spinal misalignments.  Then a precise spinal correction is made and follow up care is designed to check you for it re-occurrence.

What We Do in Our Office- Blair Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care Los Angeles

Blair Chiropractors have a singular goal. To locate, analyze and correct any vertebra in the neck that is out of its normative range of motion at the joint level and causing irritation or interference to the central nervous system. Regardless of what disease, symptom or syndrome the patients has been diagnosed with in order to get well something must be done that increases the body’s own healing capacity.

Blair Doctors run objective tests to determine whether upper neck injury exists. Once it is determined that there is irritation to the central nerve system, joint x-rays are taken to determine their angulation and direction of misalignment. Once determined the information is then used to make a specific correction to the misaligned joint. Once corrected the central nerve system can function better increasing the body’s own healing potential. The patient is then monitored over time to determine whether correction is needed or not. The goal of Blair upper Cervical Care is for the patient to stay in alignment for as long as possible. It is while the patient is clear of central nervous system irritation that healing can occur. We will end this blog with our favorite quote that encapsulates the Blair doctors goal, “Nature needs no help just no interference”. We hope this blog has been put in front of those who need it most. Healing can happen. Do NOT give up.

“Upper Cervical practitioners hypothesize based on their success in addressing many health conditions that the misalignment of the atlas is blocking communication to various parts of the body and thereby affecting the body’s own ability to correct the problem. “
