Why Am I Here? What Make You Decide to Be a Chiropractor?
Since I grew up in Taiwan, Chiropractic is not popular back home. I did not decide to be a chiropractor when I was young or I had seen a chiropractor prior due to sports injuries, car accident injuries, neck pain or back pain. As a matter of fact I have never heard of the word "chiropractic" until when I was a junior or senior in college through my dad. My dad goes to Japan from time to time for work or visiting friends. One time he was seen by a chiropractor there due to his chronic low back pain. Later he told me about his experience and wanted me to find out more about it.I had no clue what chiropractic is and was very skeptical about how it can help back pain by adjusting the spine. At that time I was studying Athletic Training and helping athletes with various sports injuries through rehabilitation exercises and therapeutic modalities. With all the classes I had taken, none of them mentioned chiropractic care as a treatment option. But I decided to find out more by contacting schools in the USA and visited local chiropractors in Taiwan. I received admission and curriculum information from chiropractic schools. After reviewing all the information that really got me excited because the classes looked quite challenging and interesting comparing to going to graduate school doing research. I had been studying for GRE in Taiwan, took a couple tests and had good scores for admission to graduate school at that time. But I prefer hands on, clinical approach, and more patient interaction. After long discussions with my parents and teachers I decided to go to chiropractic school at National University of Health Sciences in Lombard IL, instead of graduate school in sports medicine and the rest is history!

ReplyDeleteEvery Bellevue Chiropractor is very different in their approach to treating your spine and body. This is a good thing because not every body was created the exact same and they all differ in how they respond to care.

Chiropractic is now one of the most effective treatments for back pain, neck pain and variety of musculoskeletal pain. The manipulation that chiropractor does in the spine is used to restore the body movements that is restricted by tissue injury caused by accidents, stress and other traumatic events. It relaxes our muscles, joints, bones and other connective tissues to stop the pain.

Thank you for sharing. What would you tell a patient who was scared of seeing a chiropractor to reassure them that they are safe and nothing to be scared of?

For the most part chiropractic care is pretty safe unless there is some contraindication that prohibit chiropractic treatment. We can easily rule that out with a detail exam and x-ray if needed.
DeleteChiropractic care is a natural therapy. It takes pressure off your spinal nerves, re-align, and balance your spine. It helps your body heal properly and correctly through chiropractic adjustment. It is safe, effective and cost-effective. The success rate is pretty high for the right conditions. Most patients see immediate relief. It is non-invasive, no needling, and no medication.
As far a chiropractic adjustment are concerned. There are different techniques that we can use to adjust the spine and all of them are pretty safe. I usually explain and show to the patient prior to treatment and ask if they feels comfortable. Most patients will appreciate that.
Also depends on patient's age and condition, I tell them about past patients experiences to reassure them that it is safe to be seen by a chiropractor.
Last finding out what scares them is good to find the solution too. Everyone is different and there are many ways to work around it.
But in the end there will always be some people just cannot accept what you say. I usually just let them go or refer to some other providers.
Nice post. I read your post. It’s very simple and informatics. Thank you for sharing..............
