Happy New Year! It's the beginning of a new year and many people are making resolutions to improve their lifestyle. What's on your list--exercise more, lose weight, stop smoking, get out of debt, save more money? Possibly finding the right doctor for chiropractic services who will help you attain your personal health goal is one of your New Year's resolutions. Finding the appropriate chiropractor services is crucial for your overall health and well-being.

The primary criteria for choosing chiropractic services should not be location, an eye-catching sign, or an ad in the phone directory. Here are some suggestions and factors to consider when choosing the chiropractor services that fit you:

•  Referrals. Ask a friend or family member who share your philosophy on health and wellness for a recommendation. They can give you first-hand information about the doctor, the staff, fees, availability, and the chiropractic services offered at the clinic.
• Initial Consultation. An initial consultation is important to determine whether you feel comfortable with the doctor and the chiropractor services offered. Typically, there is no cost for an initial consultation.
• Evaluation. What type of equipment is used to evaluate the function of your nervous system? Does the clinic use modern, non-invasive instruments in an objective manner?
• Techniques Used. Make sure you understand the different techniques used in the course of chiropractic services, such as adjustments by hand, low-force techniques, and adjustments using instruments.
• Education and Licensing. Educational and licensing standards for doctors of chiropractic are now standardized. Their certificates of education should be displayed for easy viewing.
• Fees and Payment Options. Make sure you understand the type of chiropractic services prescribed for your care, and the fees and payment options available, including insurance coverage, offered by the clinic.

For the maintenance and care for your overall health and wellness, the key is finding a chiropractor whose philosophy, values, and personality are compatible with yours.
