If you’re thinking about making an appointment with a chiropractor, it’s important to have a crystal clear understanding of what you’re looking for. Chiropractic care is a holistic approach to wellness that focuses on the health and alignment of the spine and musculoskeletal system. While techniques and treatment plans vary among chiropractors, there are common expectations to consider. In this article, we will look into some key things you should look for about your chiropractor.

We’ll cover:

  • Your health, well-being and education should be the top priority for your chiropractor

  • You should be able to trust your Chiropractor with your entire family
  • Your chiropractor should be recommended by other chiropractors

Your health, well-being and education should be the top priority for your chiropractor

In today’s fast-paced world, finding a doctor who will take the time to really listen to your problems and tackle them like a detective can be hard to find. A doctor with a bedside manner that takes the time to talk to you and educate you is priceless. Of course, you want to feel relief too. Dr. Llaird Likens is dedicated to helping you feel better immediately while also providing you with the treatment, tools and knowledge to prevent future pain.

Dr Likens has been my savior for a few years now. Whenever my hips and lower back get out  of whack a quick adjustment and I’m like new again. He’s also very informational and truly wants to help solve the problem. I’ve been taught how to try and prevent the problems from  reoccurring as often. Would definitely recommend his services to anyone who’s looking for  some relief. | Amanda R.

Your chiropractor should be able to help you stop feeling pain

Every person is unique and it can be difficult sometimes to find the root source of pain. At times, medical professionals can skip past finding the source of pain and aim to medicate you or, worse, send you to surgery.

However, a good chiropractor will seek to identify the cause of the pain and perform corrective treatment to relieve the pain and prevent it from coming back. For those with chronic pain or who have been dealing with a particular injury for a while, this discovery and treatment process can feel like a life-saver.

You should be able to trust your Chiropractor with your entire family

Chiropractic care is not just for adults or victims of auto accidents. It’s for the whole family! In fact, many health-conscious parents use chiropractic care for their infants, specifically to help with colic and excessive crying, digestive issues, sleep problems and ear tube drainage. Everybody at every age can benefit from chiropractic care.

Your chiropractor should be recommended by other chiropractors

You know your chiropractor is good when other chiropractors come to him for treatment. An endorsement like that speaks volumes about a chiropractor’s reputation and expertise among his peers.

I am a chiropractor and Dr. Likens was my personal chiropractor for the last five years. He is a  knowledgeable and gifted Doctor, chiropractor, and acupuncturist. I am happy to recommend  Dr. Likens to anyone who needs chiropractic care. | Brandon B. 

Your chiropractor should have a wide variety of expertise and treatment options

Manual manipulation is a great foundation for chiropractic care. However, you should also expect other treatment options including acupuncture, applied kinesiology, functional medicine, nutrition coaching, massage, electric stimulation, heat therapy and more.

When these therapies are combined, they can have extraordinary outcomes such as increased range of motion and freedom from pain medication.

Dr Likens is very personable, caring, and extremely knowledgeable in the fields of  Chiropractic Care and Acupuncture. I have achieved quite a bit more range of motion  in my neck and back along with an increased level of pain management due to an  extensive treatment plan provided by Dr Likens. I highly recommend him for your  Chiropractic and Acupuncture needs. | M.W.
