Choosing the Right Chiropractor: What to Look for and Questions to Ask

Honest Communication is the Key

Finding the right chiropractor means finding someone who speaks truthfully about your treatment options. Dr. Steve Prefer believes in setting realistic patient expectations, particularly regarding timelines and outcomes.

Matching Your Problem to a Custom Plan

Not every condition requires lengthy treatment programs. “Honesty is the keyword,” notes Dr. Steve. “The only time you really need these long, drawn-out treatment programs is with a car accident or scoliosis in the early stages.” Most conditions require focused care to resolve the issue, followed by a maintenance plan tailored to your specific needs. A trustworthy chiropractor will recommend only the care you need without pushing unnecessary options.

The Value of Diagnostic Imaging

X-rays play a vital role in proper chiropractic diagnosis. They reveal what’s happening beneath the surface, much like seeing an iceberg’s hidden mass before it poses a danger. This diagnostic tool helps create more accurate and targeted plans by showing the complete picture of your spinal health. Without proper imaging, treating spinal issues becomes guesswork rather than science-based.

A Consistent Approach Gets Results

Some conditions, like disc issues, benefit from concentrated treatment periods. At Preferred Chiropractic, we prioritize patient care by offering appointments seven days a week when necessary. This availability ensures you receive the consistent assistance needed for optimal healing, particularly during those first crucial days of treatment. Our flexible scheduling accommodates your needs during intense therapeutic phases.

Focused On A Patient-Centered Philosophy

Your chiropractor should prioritize your health goals without pushing unnecessary treatments or using high-pressure sales tactics. We believe in presenting clear options and letting you make informed decisions about your path to better health. This approach builds trust and improves treatment outcomes, as patients feel empowered to participate actively in their healing journey.
