James Diesen asked:
When a person finds out that I am a Chiropractor, I usually get asked about some type of pain they may be experiencing. I always start by asking them, “Who is your Chiropractor?” The majority of the time, they answer that they don’t have one. This answer always amazes me.
There are some great Chiropractors in Jacksonville. From Mayport to Orange Park to St. Augustine, the Jacksonville area is fortunate to have some quality chiropractors.
There are some things to keep in mind when choosing a Chiropractor in Jacksonville:
• Make sure you feel comfortable with the Chiropractic office. Chiropractors have different personalities and opinions. They should never be too busy to answer any question you might have. They should always timely return your calls. A chiropractor’s staff should ALWAYS be professional and courteous.
• What Chiropractic techniques do they use? Chiropractors tend to use the techniques they feel comfortable with and the techniques they get the best results with. Most importantly they should use a technique that makes you feel most comfortable. Ask your potential chiropractor to explain what techniques are used in the clinic.
• Does your new Chiropractor have a simple straight-forward financial policy? Is it important to you that your Jacksonville Chiropractor is on your insurance plan? Does your Chiropractor offer payment options? You should always feel comfortable asking financial questions. Money issues should never get in the way of you receiving the care you need.
• Does your Chiropractor have a good relationship with medical specialists in Jacksonville? If you have a condition that requires more aggressive treatment, can your Chiropractor obtain a timely referral to a neurologist or orthopedist?
• Ask your friends or even your primary care doctor. I receive several referrals from medical doctors and I am grateful for their confidence. Ask your doctor if they can recommend someone.
• Finally, if you are still having trouble finding a Chiropractor in Jacksonville that you feel comfortable with, call me. I will recommend a Chiropractor that is close to you in the Jacksonville area.

Patrick K. Porter, PhD asked:
On a scale of one to ten most chiropractors will answer ten – sometimes even eleven!! Yet, patient education is one of the hardest concepts for chiropractors to manage. Many chiropractors talk to their patients about chiropractic issues or give them brochures but in a society that is largely visual, how much of that information is getting through effectively to the patient?
If only 10% of the population is accessing chiropractic care, it would follow that current marketing strategies employed by chiropractic professionals is not working or not working effectively enough. How many referrals or repeat clients could a chiropractic professional be missing out on because their patients are not properly educated about the many benefits of chiropractic care for them, their families and friends?
The vast majority of chiropractic patients simply are not aware of the vast array of benefits they can receive from chiropractic care. They don’t acquire patient education on television or in magazines or newspapers. Their primary source of information comes from the chiropractic office itself. So how can chiropractors maximize the time spent in their office and educate patients on the benefits of chiropractic care? Brican Systems Corporation has spent the past twelve and a half years developing the solution.
Brican Corporation, who specializes in patient education systems for chiropractic offices, has developed a patient education program to utilize waiting time in the reception and adjustment rooms with informational messages, office news and the latest in chiropractic developments. This system uses the most advanced technology to implement patient education via flat screen monitors and servers that deliver a staggering 11,000 images to patients while they wait to be seen by the chiropractic professional.
These messages can be fully customized to each individual chiropractor’s office to create a complete advertising and marketing campaign to support the doctor’s specific area of expertise. The possibilities are almost limitless for the chiropractor to create a viable marketing strategy for their practice. In addition to the 11,000 images contained in 150 different slide shows, doctors would also be able to receive 270 additional shows over the next five years containing information from the Optimum Health University newsletter series on the latest chiropractic developments.
The system is easy to install as well. According to Brican’s Territory Manager in Indiana, Tim Pezold, “This is really designed to be plug and play.” The company provides the servers, monitors and cables necessary. All the chiropractor needs to do is lay the cables and hang the monitors and they’re ready for new business.
Brican’s system is in use in over 3000 chiropractic offices around the country as well as in several chiropractic colleges including Life University, Palmer College, Life West, Parker Chiropractic College and others. Many of these offices are seeing an increase of six or more new patients coming in as a direct result of this marketing strategy being implemented in their office.

Alien asked:
Chiropractors aim to provide treatment for conditions related to joints bones and muscles. They perform ‘adjustments,’ usually manually, to help correct various physical problems. By treating these conditions, the symptoms and painful effects occurring throughout the body and particularly, in the nervous system, can ideally be eased. Headaches are actually a common complaint heard in the chiropractic office and by performing various adjustments, a chiropractor may be able to help your headaches.
Tension Headaches
Tension headaches in particular may prompt visits to the chiropractor as these can occur from contracted and tense muscles in the neck and back. Anytime the spinal bones are misaligned or compromised in some way, headaches can occur due to nerve or tissue pressure. Problems with the spine, including the neck and back areas are often missed and don’t receive examination. They can cause quite painful headaches and head pain may become chronic.
Headache pain may then be covered up for years through the use of over-the-counter medications. These medications treat the symptoms rather than the cause and also can result in medication overuse and rebound headaches. Therefore, seeing a chiropractor for diagnosis and treatment can be helpful. There is still controversy regarding the effectiveness of chiropractic treatment but ultimately, it may be wise to investigate and discuss with your doctor, various ways of treating headaches. Some treatments such as chiropractic care are still not widely supported but that does not mean you will not experience relief.
Cervicogenic Headaches
A cervicogenic headache is caused by the cervical spine and can occur from an absence of mobility in the upper cervical area. The term is used to refer to headaches where the primary causative agent is the spine. Chiropractic care is thought to be very helpful for this type of headache because it can correct the source directly. It is also suggested as a helpful treatment for other types of headaches such as common tension ones, because they may share the same cervical element. Tension headaches in particular can possibly benefit from spinal manipulation, as this can relax and stretch tense neck muscles and joints.
Migraines
Migraines are a type of headache that is considered less likely to benefit from chiropractic care, although this statement is still somewhat controversial and case studies have still been shown to provide relief for migraines through chiropractic care. Your chiropractor can discuss with you whether he or she is able to treat your migraines.
What Will a Chiropractor Do?
A chiropractor will perform various adjustments and movements, usually with his or her hands. The adjustments are meant to correct identified problems and allow you to regain movement and reduce headaches and other associated pain. Usually a chiropractor will also initially conduct an extensive background history as well as a thorough examination and possibly even x-rays. He or she will then usually provide a diagnosis and suggest an appropriate treatment plan. A chiropractor is not a replacement for your general medical doctor; rather, a chiropractor should be viewed as a complement to your main healthcare provider.
For some people, regular chiropractic care may be helpful and effectiveness will depend on your individual symptoms and headache causes. Be sure to seek out a registered chiropractor and don’t be afraid to check for credentials as well as patient referrals. Some people find that they do experience immediate headache relief while others will require ongoing treatment for several years. Sometimes when a malformation in the spine is undetected for a long time, treatment can be more complicated and often requires patience. Chiropractic care is considered by many to be an alternative treatment and it does not involve medication. It is another option that may help you in your quest for a headache free day.
