Choosing a Chiropractor
What Should You Look for in a Chiropractor (Doctor of Chiropractic)?
Does your chiropractor care about you? I mean, REALLY care about you – like family?
Establishing rewarding and lasting relationships with our patients is important to us here at Gonstead Family Chiropractic. We pledge excellence in all that we do, and we look forward to helping you make the most of our health relationship now and for many years to come. We believe that excellence in what we do, will bring forth the best results for your spine, overall health and well being.
The comfort and satisfaction of our patients is of tremendous importance to us. We want to impress upon our patients that, in this chiropractic clinic, the patient always comes first. To help make sure that always happens, we encourage open communication between our patients and our staff.
Make sure you choose a chiropractor that does the same. You deserve it!
Education
To become a licensed doctor of chiropractic, it takes four years to obtain an undergraduate degree and another four years for a chiropractic degree. This however is really just the beginning of a chiropractor’s journey! What happens from here, with experience, continuing education and a seeking mind is what really determines the competency of your doctor.
Ask your potential chiropractor about his or her continuing education. What advanced chiropractic courses have they taken? What extra courses have they taken on advanced chiropractic treatment, injury rehabilitation, dealing with athletes, osteoporosis and so on? This is how you find the chiropractor that matches your needs. If you have minimal needs then most chiropractors will be good candidates for you. If you have more serious and possibly complex health issues then look for a chiropractor who has taken advanced, extensive, hands-on training type courses.
Our doctors have spent many years taking primarily hands-on advanced courses in Gonstead chiropractic. Dr. Mike Rozenblum received most of his training from doctors who worked directly under and eventually side by side with Dr. Clarence Gonstead, himself. Most of the doctors in our clinic have attended such seminars and studied directly under Dr. Rozenblum. All of our doctors are trained to deal with anything from evaluating a pregnant patient to an adult struggling with osteoporosis to managing a severely acute low back problem with a patient who can hardly stand up. We are ready to help you – whatever your needs!
Actual Proof
Okay – so we all know that talk is cheap – right? Anyone can buy a book of sample chiropractic treatments showing before-and-after photographs of adjustments, treated spines and other corrected ailments.
Ask your potential chiropractor to show you pictures of his or her personal work – and take a look at their actual results. Ask to see video testimonials of real patients. Not professional actors, but rather, the real folks next door, people that have actually been treated by the doctor.
All the videos and pictures you see on our website, in our photo books and on the walls of our office are our patients – please feel free to ask about any of them.
Our chiropractic team in our Albuquerque clinics is well versed in all areas of chiropractic. We offer gentle, modern, diagnostic, corrective, preventative, relief, and wellness chiropractic techniques that provide for the prevention of problems and restoration and maintenance of health – all done in a way that is comfortable, safe and pain-free.
I believe that everyone deserves to feel great. That’s why we do what we do and take the extra steps needed for your comfort. We believe that you should be free from pain. Nothing is fun when you hurt. We want to participate in the journey to bring you back to a time when you were able to do all you wanted to because, you felt great. And, I sincerely hope for you that your time is now.
Dr. Mike Rozenblum
