I am a healthcare provider, but I am also a healthcare consumer. One of the most challenging things about being a healthcare consumer is selecting your doctor. How do you make the right choice?
Please allow me to offer a suggestion. When narrowing your options, consider the healthcare providers' willingness and ability to teach and guide, not just prescribe and treat. Education is an essential part of healthcare that time constraints often hinder or completely eliminate.
A quality treatment plan should be built on a foundation of education. Pain management tools, like chiropractic adjustments, could be helpful. But if you want more than temporarily getting out of pain, you need to learn something. You need someone to help you uncover a unique plan that doesn't require 100% dependence on a healthcare provider. This plan should be customized to your specific needs and come with guidance.
"There is no such thing as teaching, only learning. Knowledge cannot be pushed into a brain; it must be willingly drawn into the brain by the recipient." — Monty Roberts
