It’s very easy to search online for a chiropractor. Finding the right one for your long-term health is another story. We realize that choosing a chiropractor is not a small decision for you to make, and we want you to be confident in your decision. Here’s what you should consider before making that first appointment.
When a chiropractor cooperates with other health professionals, it can greatly help you. A physiotherapist, massage therapist, and dietitian all in one are communicating and working towards a common objective. Our Halifax and Bedford clinics develop collaborative treatment plans so everyone you see is on the same page.
You are entitled to care from a person, who has earned it. Ensure that your chiropractor is licensed and has the required professional standards in your province at all times. At Coastal Sports & Wellness, we only bring fully licensed and trained practitioners. You can be assured that the chiropractor treating you is qualified to justify their adjustments.
One treatment will not typically provide long-term pain relief. The best chiropractors offer more than spinal adjustments. Find a clinic where they offer shockwave therapy, dry needling, cupping or sports rehabilitation. We offer over ten disciplines at our locations, which means we can shift your care plan as your needs evolve without sending you elsewhere.
Good chiropractors don’t begin treating you without knowing your whole story. We do a thorough assessment so we know the cause of your back pain rather than just the symptoms. Do not ignore an adverse reaction if a clinic does not take the time to ask questions, or tell you how you move.
There are different kinds of pain and there are different kinds of chiropractors. Whether you deal with sports injuries, chronic back pain, postural issues, or neck tension, you want someone with hands-on experience treating exactly what you are going through. We work with athletes, office workers, seniors, and families, so we bring a wide range of real-world experience to every appointment.
People do not fully appreciate the importance of the environment. A clean, comfortable and inviting clinic will help you feel good and set the tone for your recovery. We pride ourselves on building a practice where patients feel valued from the get-go.
Take any relevant medical records or imaging results and a list of current medications. This allows your chiropractor to have a good grasp on your medical history from the start.
People with chronic back pain, neck stiffness, headaches, or diminished mobility should consider chiropractic treatment. An initial assessment will help determine whether it is appropriate for you.
Yes. The intensity and method of each adjustment is customized to fit the patient’s age, health and comfort.
Many patients notice improvement within the first few visits. Long lasting relief usually comes after a long and regular treatment plan.
