Know how a good Chiropractor can help


Chiropractors use many different spinal manipulation techniques to realign the spine. There are many different conditions that chiropractic care can help you with. Most chiropractor's websites list conditions that they treat and have experience with.

Some chiropractors believe that chiropractic care is the only treatment needed for any health issue. Others may work with other medical specialists as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, such as an orthopedic surgeon or osteopathic doctor.

Medical requirements for all Chiropractors

Chiropractors in all 50 states in the U.S. are required to complete a doctor of chiropractic degree (DC) and pass a four-part exam.

In addition, most states require between 20 and 25 hours of annual continuing education. This could include deeper learning in the areas of nutrition, physical therapy, or others.

Depending on how much information a chiropractor posts to their website, they may also list additional certifications or research-areas they’re also qualified in, such as neurology, applied kinesiology, acupuncture, physiotherapy and others.

Ratings sites with a list of doctors like Healthgrades, RateMDs, and Angie's List can help verify a chiropractor’s license and give you an idea of their experience and practice areas. They may help give you a better picture of the chiropractor before your first visit.


Choose the best chiropractor for you by looking for those who share information, whether on their website or on social media. Website Blogs are a great place to start. Facebook is also a great place to read reviews from their patients, as are YouTube video reviews.

Finally, contact your insurance provider for a list of chiropractors who are covered by your network. Use this to make sure that you find a chiropractor who is within your plan and recommended by your insurance. And, be sure to check that they are accepting new patients.
