By Jana Serrano


A patient who has severe back pain and joint pain usually wants to seek for medical aid but is unsure of the specialization of the doctor he needs. Before a person who has extreme back pain agrees to a surgery, it is important to know how to identify the right chiropractor Fairfax. In fact, some professionals and experts are not just available in hospitals but in private practice as well such as chiropractors.

Many people suffer ailments that originate in misalignment of the spine. They don't need necessarily to go to an osteopath or orthopedist. Chiropractic care is a viable alternative form of therapy that has been proven effective. It is usually covered by one's health insurance. Healing begins and ends with the backbone. It is the pillar of the body and the heart of the musculoskeletal system.

The best source of recommendations for this health care practitioner is people who also care about your health - friends and family. Professionals in the same field are also good sources because of their expertise. Whenever, you always hear a name always being recommended, chances are, he is a good choice. You must remember though that the term "good chiropractor" is very subjective.

What constitutes a good therapist? Ask questions on the phone or during the initial interview. You want to know the background of the practitioner and the years of experience in this specialty. Patient testimonials are always in order.

During this visit, trust your gut. You must feel happy and comfortable with the visit. Remember, you will trust this person with your health, might as well research about him thoroughly.

Utilize the Internet. Through surfing, you can background check the practitioner if there have been cases filed against him. You can also check if the Council on Chiropractic Education accredits the college the practitioner attended.

At your consultation, you will discuss your symptoms and ailments while the doctor makes a preliminary diagnosis. If you elect to go forward and have discussed fees and insurance, you may be given tests and have an X-ray. Expect a thorough overview and explanation of realignment and what it entails. Does the doctor expect you to improve and how will this come about?

You can also research on the techniques used by him. Doing so will enable you to talk the chiropractor's language. With this, you will better communicate your needs and his proposed cure. With the knowledge of the techniques, the patient can inquire about how he feels or thinks about a certain technique. This knowledge will also help the patient make intelligent decisions on which chiropractor to book depending on his specialization.

To make everything short, a good practitioner will not impose his own method. The method to be carried out to the patient will depend upon unique preference. He will recommend a series of treatments and it depends on the patient if he will push through or not. A good chiropractor will strike the balance and will patiently explain the need for treatment and for what each alignment is for.
