What is an Upper Cervical Chiropractor?
An upper cervical chiropractor is trained in a specialized form of chiropractic treatment that focuses solely on the upper cervical spine. Using what is referred to as the Blair Chiropractic Technique, this non-traditional form of chiropractic treatment employs a ‘whole-picture’ approach to improving upper cervical spinal health to treat common ailments.
What to Look Out for in an Upper Cervical Chiropractor
Before you start your search for an upper cervical chiropractor, you should first establish what you’re hoping to achieve through treatment and what kind of services you’re looking for. Some important things to consider when checking out a prospective chiropractor include:
The cleanliness of the clinic space and the hygiene practices of the staff.
The chiropractor’s overall demeanor and approach to treatment — look for a chiropractor that is friendly, professional, and approachable.
The chiropractor should be qualified and licensed to practice. Furthermore, you should look for chiropractors that make an effort to continue to educate themselves in the field.
Ideally, your chiropractor shouldn’t constantly be booked out for months on end and they will see you promptly when you do visit for an appointment.
What healthcare options does the clinic provide? Are they affordable and their pricing competitive?
How to Find an Upper Cervical Chiropractor
When it comes to finding an upper cervical chiropractor, your best option is the look to customer reviews. While they’re not always 100% reliable, looking at previous or current client reviews can help you to gauge the quality of the service and the treatment. For more honest reviews, ask around your local community for advice. Whether it’s through friends or family, speaking with someone who has had first-hand experience with a chiropractor is going to provide you with invaluable insight into what to expect from their treatment.
Depending on what treatment you’re seeking, you may be able to narrow down your search. Before you make an appointment, look at the prospective chiropractor’s webpage to see if they offer treatment for your condition. If the chiropractor does offer the treatment you need, don’t be afraid to ask for a tour of their facilities. Having an in-person tour will not only allow you to check out the quality of the facilities but will also give you a chance to get to know your potential chiropractor a little better.
Finally, shop around your local area to see which clinics offer introductory prices for new clients. Generally, most chiropractors will offer new clients a discounted first treatment in order to muster up business. This can be a great way to try out a clinic without a large financial investment.
