Going to the chiropractor is serious business. To help you make the right choice, this blog provides a 7-point checklist to review with the chiropractor before you become their patient.
Step 1) Get a Background Check (prior post)
Step 2) Make Sure You Get Full Disclosure
Following the detailed examinations made by your doctor, make sure that he/she plans to meet with you to explain the findings and recommended treatment plan.
The doctor should present and discuss your x-rays and EMG scans with you, explaining exactly what he/she sees as the problem and why. And you should be able to ask any questions you want!
In addition to presenting the findings of his/her analysis, the doctor should outline the proposed treatment plan and explain how that plan will help correct your problem.
The review meeting with the doctor can never take place in the same visit as when you had your x-rays & EMG scan done – if that were the case, then the doctor isn’t taking the time to carefully study your results and complete any research necessary to develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific problem.
Remember, there is no “one size fits all” solution! And you want your doctor to work out the details of what’s best for you!
So… don’t be shy – make sure the doctor does his/her homework and shares those results with you….
All the best,
Dr. Anthony Gondesen
