ASK FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Always go to a doctor first before going
to a chiropractor. Be sure to get a medical
diagnosis before visiting a chiropractor.
Your chiropractor can come up with a better
treatment plan. You may find that you
do not need a chiropractor at all. Your
doctor could give you an alternate option.
Asking your physician about recommended
chiropractors is a good way to start.
This is a good idea even if an MD referral is
not necessary for insurance purposes.

DO NOT ALLOW YOUR
NECK TO BE SNAPPED
When you’re going to see chiropractors
don’t allow them to get your neck
snapped. There are two arteries threaded
through the vertebrae of the neck. This
would normally be okay; however, if it is
stretched and turned suddenly, the artery
linings can be torn. You can form a clot
and have a stroke.

GET A CONSULTATION
BEFORE ANY TREATMENT
When the time comes to choose a new
chiropractor, schedule a meeting with him
before actually scheduling a treatment. A
visit with a chiropractor can change your
life for good and offer some serious relief
from pain. But, getting involved with a bad
one can make the trouble much more significant.
Make sure you feel you can trust
them. Always have a consultation before
you begin any treatment or manipulations.
If you have problems with your back muscles,
you should allow your back to slowly
wake up when you arise in the morning.
Do some gentle stretching and use your
arms to support your body as you rise.
Then let your legs swing down to the floor.
