"Not every patient makes a sound of cracking when adjusted. That is a fallacy. The practice of chiropractic is not some amusement event so someone can hear their joints making sounds but alternative medicine for patients who have pain."
Our average time per patient is approximately 15 minutes based on the severity of their pain, including history taking, examination, etc. The practitioner before me would average 2 to 3 minutes with each patient. He's not here. We ask patients after treatment for their feedback to make sure we have provided significant satisfaction and/or questions or concerns are addressed. I might add that we have a good track record not only in our treatment program but have evidence-based scoliosis program, frozen shoulder program, and TMJ program as well. The presentations one sees on YouTube of people getting adjusted are not a good basis to evaluate a doctor of chiropractic, those patients are staged, knowing they will make sounds being adjusted. I am talking about this because we wanted to address issued a complaint of a patient regarding his treatment - in which we could not find her name. We also checked patient's charts and again no such name exists in our records.
