9 Qualities To Look for In Your Local Chiropractor
Finding a local chiropractor isn’t hard these days. After all, it feels like there is a chiropractic office on nearly every street corner, all of them promising relief for everything from your everyday crick in the neck to back and knee pain, chronic headaches, digestive issues, sleep problems, and other dysfunctions.
But no two chiropractors are exactly the same. So how do you make the right decision for yourself and your family?
Beyond experience, fancy degrees, and expensive equipment, here are 9 qualities to look for in your local chiropractor.
1. Excellent listening skills
Listening is perhaps one of the top qualities a chiropractor can have. And in this day and age, it is an underrated quality, too. When you or a family member are in pain, you need someone who listens more than they talk, empathizes with your situation, allows you time to express concerns and hesitations, and asks questions to understand your situation and determine the best course of action. Half the battle in feeling better is knowing you were listened to.
2. They are solutions-minded
To be solutions-minded means that you see problems as opportunities to find creative solutions that make things better. It’s a key leadership skill, and you can tell if your chiropractor shares this mindset when they use words like “we” and “us” instead of “you” and “your,” ask for feedback, and keep you engaged in reaching a common goal. They focus on what needs to happen to continue seeing real results.
3. Employs an equally caring and compassionate staff
You should feel this immediately, as there should be someone there to greet you and your family with kindness and a servant’s heart. Excellent customer service is often looked at as a lost art, so the local chiropractor AND their staff must buck that trend by treating you with compassion and unrivaled professionalism. If not, you should look elsewhere.
4. They have perspective
A chiropractor should have a healthy perspective on life and be open to considering other experiences and viewpoints. If so, they are more apt to focus on your needs.
5. They have a great reputation
If friends, family, and people in the community are saying good things about a chiropractor and sharing stories of the positive experience they had, then they must be doing something right. Pay attention to what people say face-to-face or through online methods to get a gauge for a chiropractor’s reputation. Don’t be bashful in asking for recommendations from people you trust, and do plenty of research to ensure you’ve found the right fit.

6. Transparency on cost
Many feel apprehension about seeking help from a chiropractor due to hidden and unclear costs. One of our fundamental values is to build long-lasting relationships based on trust. Therefore, fees will continually be reviewed with you in advance. Our first visit special is a risk-free chance to see our office for yourself. You will receive a complete consultation, a full neurologic examination, and our doctor’s report of findings. This will give you all the information you need to make an educated decision about chiropractic care for you and your family.
7. They are over-communicators
Communication breeds confidence, right? So you should look for over-communication from your chiropractor. They should be experts at communicating every detail so that you can make the best decision possible. Once a decision is made, they should make you and your family feel like you are kept in the loop at every turn.
8. More than just back-crackers
Hearing all those pops and cracks doesn’t mean you’re getting the best results. For example, our neurologically focused chiropractic office will correct root issues throughout your entire spine using gentle and specific adjustments to improve your body’s natural function over time. Furthermore, our office specializes in maternal and pediatric chiropractic, giving your whole family the opportunity to get the care they need.
9. They have high moral standards
You can’t go wrong with a local chiropractor who chooses joy and laughs often, builds relationships based on trust, shows radical generosity, is relentlessly warm and welcoming, and lets it be known that they are ambassadors for Christ. While this has nothing to do with the actual treatment part of chiropractic, knowing you are in that type of environment does wonders for healing — and feeling like you are being taken care of by family.
I say this every week, but it is an absolute joy to see folks who begin care with us at Compassion Family Chiropractic start to understand the bigger picture and experience relief from many of the health issues that have impacted their lives. Chiropractors are more than just “back crackers.” We improve how your entire body functions!
