Questions To Ask Your Chiropractor

What kind of experience do you have?

Dr. Delos Soehren and his staff have a combined experience of over 17 years in treating spinal related health conditions and has helped thousands of local residents with their health problems.
 

What type of equipment and techniques do you use to perform chiropractic care?

We have the most advanced chiropractic treatment and diagnostic testing equipment available.  We offer the Pro-Adjuster , SpineMed spinal decompression, and Spine Force rehab, which are all the most state of the art, technologically advanced machines available in the Chiropractic profession today.
 

How good are your results with patients?

We get excellent results.  The majority of our patients who make a commitment to their health and follow through with their treatment program get great results.  The patients who do not get results are the ones who have an unrealistic expectation about their health problem and do not commit to the amount of time and treatments necessary to get well.  We currently have a 94% success rate with relieving the pain caused by a herniated disc, bulging disc or disc degeneration in the neck or low back. This is all done non-surgically and without using any prescription medications.
 

How expensive is your care?

Our chiropractic care is extremely affordable.  Compared to the costs of medical care, orthodontic care, or surgery, you will receive a lot of value for your investment and see great changes in your health.

I cannot tell you an exact amount because I don't know what your needs will be until we've met and I've performed an examination and diagnostic tests.

How long does it usually take to feel better and heal the cause of my health problem?

Feeling better can take anywhere between 1 to 8 weeks, depending on your age, current health status, the severity of your health problem, how long you’ve had your health problem, and many other factors.

Healing the cause of your pain and symptoms is a process that typically takes between 3 and 12 months.  These are estimates and we won’t be able to tell you exactly until we have done our thorough evaluation on you. Everyone is different and our treatment plans are customized for each individual patient.

Do you take x-rays when necessary?

Yes.  X-rays are the best low cost solution to evaluating the health of the spine.  In our opinion, any Chiropractor that doesn’t require x-rays before adjusting your spine is committing malpractice. The only way to really see what is going on with your spine and to rule out major spinal pathologies is by taking x-rays.
 

Do you have any testimonials from your patients that I can look at?

Absolutely.  Click here to review the testimonials and success stories from our satisfied patients.

Is your care a “quick fix” approach, or do you offer treatment programs to heal the cause of the problem? 

Our approach to health is not a “quick fix” approach because quick fixes do not work.  Our approach to health care is to get you feeling great as quickly as possible by correcting what’s causing your problem and not just treating symptoms.

If you only treat your symptoms, you are not healing what’s actually causing your symptoms.  This means you may feel better, but it will be temporary because there is still something wrong with your body that hasn’t been healed.  The symptoms always come back unless you’ve healed their cause.

Do not choose a chiropractor who will tell you they can improve your health in a couple treatments.  This approach is substandard care.  The quick fix approach will not be able to heal the actual cause of your health problem.

Do you offer care for people who are looking to keep themselves healthy as they age, sometimes called wellness care?

Yes, this is called “wellness care” or “maintenance care.”  We have hundreds of patients who use chiropractic care on a regular basis to keep their body healthy and functioning at an optimal level.

These people receive chiropractic care 1-2 times per month because they love the difference it makes in their health and life.

Unfortunately, many people do not understand the benefits of chiropractic care beyond back and neck pain, so they have no idea that millions of people use chiropractic care on a regular basis.

Do not choose a chiropractor who doesn’t have patients coming in on a regular basis.  This is a sign that they only focus on symptoms and are not teaching their patients all of the different benefits that a person can receive from chiropractic care.

Is everyone the right fit for your office?

No.  Just like you are looking for a great doctor, we are looking for great patients.  We do not accept about 15% of the new patients that come to our office because it’s not a good match.  We primarily work with people who take their health seriously are committed to a health care program that will not only get them out of pain but also health the problems with the body causing the pain.
