However doing so isn't always easy as there are many factors into consideration when looking at which Calgary chiropractic office will work the best for you and fit your needs. I have put together these helpful tips on findings your first Calgary chiropractic office Today!

  1. Getting Recommendations

One way to find a trustworthy chiropractor is by asking your primary care physician, physical therapist or spine specialist for recommendations. You can phrase your question to ask them like this: “If your best friend needs to see a chiropractor, who would you recommend.” Getting a referral from someone who knows a trustworthy chiropractor will save you energy and put down the anxiety level as you know this is coming from a trustworthy source. Another excellent referral source is to ask your close friends. When asking them for a referral, remember to be specific on why you want to see a chiropractor. Often times chiropractors may practice differently than one another, as this applies to all trades and professions. Thus, it is always best to ask the chiropractor’s specialty to see if that fits your need.

2. Perform Interview on the Calgary Chiropractor

Before your first visit with the chiropractor, it is a great idea to phone the chiropractic office first as the administrative staff will be the one contacting the most often in the future if you plan on booking re-visits, and you want to get a feel on how their customer service and tone of voice are. Afterwards, you can ask them directly to learn more about the chiropractor, the clinic and the techniques used. However, oftentimes, chiropractors will go through the treatment techniques and treatment plan with you in the initial consultation.

Here is a list for you to consider during the initial rapport building with the front staff and chiropractor.

  1. Is the chiropractor kind and friendly or does he sound agitated?

  2. Do you feel comfortable talking with the chiropractor?

  3. Does the chiropractor provide the answer you want? Are they wishy-washy with their answers?

  4. Does the chiropractor allow you to finish your concerns before moving on to the next question?

  5. How long has the chiropractor been practicing?

During the initial interaction with the chiropractor, observe and ask them about their degree. In Canada, a chiropractor has a specific post-graduate specialty combined with undergraduate studies. Observe any certifications held by the chiropractors, some may hold strength and conditioning training, sports nutrition, active release technique, medical acupuncture, different chiropractic adjustment techniques, functional assessments, and the list goes on.

3. How do you feel?

After you have conducted your interview with the chiropractor, you probably have formed your opinion and the feeling about he/she. You can always consult with your friends and family about the conversations between you and the chiropractor. Remember, you are always in control when selecting a Calgary chiropractic office to go to. If you have any off-feelings, simply do not continue on and find another chiropractic clinic in Calgary.
