Every year around this time we have patients heading back home for the summer or traveling for extended periods—and one question comes up again and again:
“How do I find a chiropractor like you when I’m away?”
First of all… thank you. That’s a huge compliment.
The truth is, chiropractic is a broad profession. There are lots of great doctors out there—but there are also different techniques, different practice styles, and different philosophies. One office might focus heavily on rehab and exercise, another on adjusting, another on soft tissue work, and another may take a very long-term care approach.
So how do you find the right fit?
Here are the most common ways people search:
• Google (“chiropractor near me”)
• Online reviews
• Insurance directories
• Facebook groups / local community pages
• Asking their medical doctor
• Asking family, friends, neighbors… and this one is usually our favorite.
Referrals from people you trust are almost always the best place to start. Someone who had a good experience can tell you things Google doesn’t—Did they explain things well? Did they listen? Did they recommend reasonable care? Did they actually help?
And don’t be afraid to ask questions:
✔️ What techniques do you use?
✔️ Do you treat my type of problem often?
✔️ What does a typical treatment plan look like?
✔️ Do you recommend home exercises?
✔️ What happens if I’m not improving?
Here at Foothills Chiropractic, we’re members of ChiroTrust and have taken the ChiroTrust Pledge:
“To the best of my ability, I agree to provide my patients convenient, affordable, and mainstream chiropractic care. I will not use unnecessary long-term treatment plans and/or therapies.”
That philosophy aligns closely with how we’ve always tried to practice—give people options, explain the “why,” and help them get back to doing what they enjoy.
Of course, we’d love to be your chiropractic home base whenever you’re here. But we also want you to be able to take care of yourself wherever life takes you—whether that’s Minnesota for the summer, a beach somewhere, or halfway around the world.
And if all else fails… send us a message. We may not know everyone, but we probably know someone who knows someone.
Have a great afternoon,
Joy, Jen, Kim, Kathy, Coloradas, Maxfield, Dr Shriner and Dr Ring
