3. What is your goal for care?

Chiropractic care can be used to treat acute or chronic injuries and implemented regularly for overall wellness. Regardless of your goal, you should seek a chiropractor that can support you! Chiropractic appointments can be a stand alone adjustment that takes 5 minutes or a full treatment plan with exercises and therapies that make appointments last longer. Here are some goals to consider:

—Wellness

—Acute injury care [neuro/musculoskeletal]

—Chronic pain

—Motor Vehicle Accident Recovery

—Family care

4. Is it convenient for you?

The two biggest factors to keep in mind with convenience are time and money. You likely want to choose a chiropractor that is conveniently located for you, close to home, work, school, etc. Also keep in mind that different chiropractic clinics take different forms of payment: insurance, HSA, cash, etc. Check out the clinic website for information or call ahead if there is an option best suited for you!
