Possible defects on chiropractic treatment programs.

There are some things about the chiropractic treatment programs that so many chiropractors agree that they are of considerable defects. Some of them includes;

Ø  Manipulating symptoms to areas not having the symptoms- A chiropractor should never make areas not having symptoms to have them. An example is that a chiropractor will never do manipulation on the upper site of the neck when the patient is actually having back problem at the lower region.

Ø  Putting pressure on patients to buy nutritional supplements only on their own clinic-Patients should be given freedom to get supplementary nutrients from their own chiropractors.     A good chiropractor will always give patients guidelines on nutritional supplements but will always give them an option of getting them from any source of their own.

Ø  Giving all the patients same treatment program-Patients should avoid those practitioners who are used to identifying a common problem with all patients and giving them all same treatment program.

Ø  Continued treatment even after goal being met-A good chiropractor will always have a goal of reducing the pain of clients. Practitioners who gives patients treatment even after objective has been found should as much as possible be avoided.

Ø  Practitioners who give long term treatment plans-Patients should always be cautious enough to those chiropractors who give a lengthy program. Such as a plan which is going up to one year or so

It is therefore always recommended that when a patient is choosing a chiropractor he/she should always do judgment well just as it is normally done for any health care practitioner.
