Isn't a chiropractic neurologist going to treat me the
same as a chiropractor would?
Quite simply put, no. We tend to use an array of diagnostic equipment
not commonly found in non-specialists office. The ongoing training in neurology
is so vast and encompassing that many rehabilitation techniques are utilized
which are not taught in basic training to become a doctor.
Do I need to treat three times a week for a long time?
No. This is a myth perpetuated by others who have done this. Our
patient visit average is under ten visits, with most achieving significant
relief in less then five visits.
I've already been to a medical neurologist, and they couldn't
help me.
This is actually quite common. Most all of my patients have been to
several specialists prior to treating with me with no resolve. This is
because of the difference in treatment methods, and the diagnostic abilities of
the examining doctor. Because you have not been successfully treated elsewhere
has absolutely no bearing on your potential for success with us.
I called my insurance company and they said that I can get
the same treatment from any chiropractor.
This is actually very common. As insurance companies prime directive is
for profit, (not to pay your medical bills), they will try to save money
wherever possible. By directing you to an in network provider, they save a
lot of money as they typically do not pay that provider as well as the out of
network provider. As such, your insurance company will direct you to treat
with someone in network and not disclose the fact that they are not comparably
trained.
My doctor said that I should not consider chiropractic
treatment.
First off, no practitioner of any type should make this statement, as they
are not all trained in these applications. Having said that, if your
doctor says something like this, you should consider his training. Is he
current? Has he taken any medical coursework recently to stay
current? Is his office and equipment current or outdated and shoddy?
Has he done anything helpful for you regarding your problem otherwise?
Most practitioners that would make such a statement are not current in their
medical training. Not only should this advise be disregarded, it should be taken
as a clue that you should
probably consider looking for a replacement with more current medical training.
Who certifies the doctors competency in neurology?
Board certification in neurology is recognized by NOAA/NOCA, the national
assurance credentialing sources for all medical specialties. Please
