Chances are, you know a chiropractor. Or better yet, your friend’s friend has been a well-known chiropractor for years and you should probably just visit them for chiropractic adjustments, right?

Well, not exactly.

While referrals from people you know are certainly helpful, choosing the right chiropractor for your family is something more personal than getting a recommendation for a beauty treatment or local restaurant.

At Dr. Gena Chiropractic, a leading family chiropractor in Plantation, we’re known for our commitment to families and keeping them healthy from the inside out. If this suits your needs, great – if not, we understand. But the bottom line is, we’re here to make sure you choose the best chiropractor for you and no one else.

So, how do you determine the best fit?

According to Dr. Gena herself, owner and founder of Dr. Gena Chiropractic, “When it comes to finding the right chiropractor, you’re going to want to spend some time “shopping around”. Because part of the chiropractor’s job is to physically adjust the patient, it’s important that you have good vibes/energy/connection with the chiropractor taking care of you.”

Stellar advice. Connection is everything when it comes to forming any new relationship, and the same mentality should be applied to choosing who to partner with to keep your family healthy and well adjusted.

Some other top tips for choosing the best chiropractor for your family include:

• Find a chiropractor that specializes in “you”

People seek chiropractic care for all sorts of reasons. Maybe it’s for their lower back pain, or maybe it’s for the migraines they’ve been suffering from. Perhaps you’re pregnant and need a chiropractor who is well-trained in working with pregnant patients. Whatever it is that you identify with, it is wise to search for a chiropractor who works with the particular niche you fall under. Remember, any licensed chiropractor can perform adjustments, but not all chiropractors have the same experience, training, and passion for that type of care. It's important to find the practice that best matches your needs in this regard.

• Inquire about the office philosophy
• Your expectations for chiropractic care may be very different from the philosophy of the chiropractor you have chosen. For example, there are chiropractic offices that are pain-based and work only to relieve pain you already have. Then there are wellness-based chiropractic offices that take a more proactive approach in preventing pain before it creeps up. It all depends on the office philosophy and whether or not yours is aligned.

• How results-driven is your ideal chiropractor?
• Are you looking for a wam-bam quick fix or are you looking for the real deal, as in, a chiropractor who is results driven and wants to see you improve over time? If the office you have chosen offers any pre-studies as in x-rays, neuro-scans, and assessments, then you'd want to ensure they are also perform post follow-up studies to track your results and progress over time.
• 
  
• Most importantly, you want a place that makes you feel good – that feels like a second home and is just as comforting. Like with anything else, you’ll know when it’s right – just trust your gut and make sure you trust your spine to the right chiropractor!
