Since there's so many different types of chiropractors to choose from, a referral may be your best way to find a good chiropractor. Google and Yelp reviews are also a very good resources to view a chiropractors reputation. Below are my top recommendations for finding a good chiropractor based on my experience of referring patients to other chiropractors around the country.
1. Find a happy customer who can refer you to their chiropractor. 2. Find a chiropractor with at least 3 years of experience. Chiropractors with over 3 years experience have adjusted enough people to develop the skills, experience and practice intuition to deliver higher quality service. 3. Find a chiropractor who has access to x-rays. Not all chiropractors will have x-ray equipment in their office, but with image companies popping up everywhere x-rays can be taken inexpensively. Your chiropractor will be able to evaluate your biomechanics from your x-ray. X-rays will reveal the location and extent of the subluxation (misalignment of the spine). 4. Find and alumni of Palmer College of Chiropractic or Life University. These are the largest, most reputable and prestigious chiropractic colleges in the world. You can call these colleges for a list of alumni who are practicing in your area. You can also use the links below: Palmer College of Chiropractic - Find a Chiropractor Life College of Chiropractic - Find a Chiropractor 5. Call the chiropractors you're interested in seeing and ask the questions above. You can even ask for an evaluation. If your intuition tells you this is the right chiropractor for you, then you're on the right track. Your intuition is usually right. If not, keep interviewing for a chiropractor who you may feel will serve your needs. Good luck! To your health... to a happier and a higher quality of life through wonderful chiropractic!

I need to find a chiropractor for my fiance quick since he has been complaining about back pain for a week now. It makes sense to find someone with access to x-rays. This means he will get the full scope of care he needs to pinpoint the problem and fix it.

I like your advice to find a chiropractor who has at least 3 years of experience so that you can be sure that they can deliver high-quality service. My husband has been having a lot of back pain, so we are wondering how to find the best chiropractor to help us. We'll be sure to focus on the specialists who have been working for at least 3 years.

I agree that you should first find someone that can refer you to a chiropractor. This will help you find someone you can be happy with as well. I'll definitely have to do that and ask around to see if I can find the right chiropractor for me.

I like what you shared about finding a chiropractor that can analyze your biomechanics via x-ray. Chiropractors are great because they can relieve tension in nearly every part of the body. My wife is having some neck pain, so I'll suggest that she find a chiropractor that has an outstanding reputation.
