Choosing The Best Chiropractor In Stoke On Trent

The effectiveness of chiropractic treatment has made it very popular in the UK in recent years.  There are now more patients seeking chiropractic treatment than ever before, particularly in Stoke on Trent.

Many of these patients will simply do a quick Google search to find the number of a nearby chiropractor in Stoke.  This approach is usually fine, but some patients find that they don’t enjoy the demeanour or technique of the chiropractor that they find.  For these patients, a bit more research may have been required before choosing a chiropractor.

In this post, I’ll share a few simple tips to help you find the best chiropractor in Stoke on Trent.  These tips will help you find a professional chiropractor that you feel completely comfortable with.

#1 — Ask friends and family for a referral

The simplest way to find an excellent professional chiropractor is to ask your friends and family who they use.  If they have found a great chiropractor in Stoke on Trent, they will be more than happy to tell you about them.  In fact, chiropractic treatment can have such a dramatic impact on a person’s health and well-being that they will probably be raving about how good their chiropractor is.

#2 — Check the credentials of each chiropractor

All chiropractors are highly trained professionals regulated by the General Chiropractic Council (GCC).  However, they do have vastly different backgrounds, with some chiropractors having additional training that affects how they deliver chiropractic care.  That’s why you should take a closer look at the academic history of a potential chiropractor to learn more about the type of care they provide.

Newcastle Chiropractic Clinic is owned by Dr Robert Finn who has a B.Sc. (Hons.) B.Sc. D.C. MCC (Doctor of Chiropractic) — along with more than 25 years of experience.  This has given him a vast amount of specialised knowledge regarding the musculoskeletal system and human physiology more generally.  You can check if a chiropractor is registered with the GCC by visiting this page.

#3 — Consider the gender of the chiropractor

It is important that you feel relaxed and comfortable when talking with your chiropractor as you will be discussing personal medical issues.  Your chiropractor will also be touching many parts of your body as they make various adjustments.  For these reasons, some people find it more comfortable to use a chiropractor of the same or opposite sex.

#4 — How much experience does the chiropractor have?

Experience really matters when dealing with complex musculoskeletal problems.   That’s why it is a good idea to seek out a highly experienced chiropractor.  Fortunately, there are many experienced in our chiropractic clinics in Stoke on Trent and nearby including Dr. Finn, who has over 25 years of experience.

#5 — What is their communication style?

As mentioned earlier, it’s important to have a chiropractor that you feel comfortable talking to.  They must be able to convey sometimes-complex medical concepts in a way that you can understand.  This will ensure that you know how healthy your musculoskeletal system is and what treatment is being proposed by your chiropractor. 

#6 — Check online reviews

There are online reviews for everything these days.  You can read what others have said about a specific chiropractor by visiting websites like Yelp and looking at their Google reviews.

#7 — Visit the chiropractor’s website

A chiropractor’s website can tell you a great deal about their practice.  It might include details like:

• The chiropractor’s treatment philosophy
• Which services are available
• How many staff work at the clinic
• What the premises look like
• Their fees
• Where they are located, and much more.

The appearance of the website and the amount of information it contains can also give you a sense of how professional a chiropractor is.
