GOLDEN CHIROPRACTIC RULE 3

"Patients feel what they feel, Doctor."

GOLDEN CHIROPRACTIC RULE 3 invites responses from Chiropractors, and Chiropractic patients.

For the Medical doctor

Dr Lamberts:

" Patients will often tell doctors their symptoms in a very apologetic tone. They seem to think that they have to come to the doctor with the “right” set of symptoms and not having those symptoms is their fault.

Sometimes those symptoms make no sense to me at all, and I am tempted to dismiss or ignore them. But as a doctor, you have to trust your patient. Yes, some may exaggerate what they feel out of anxiety or out of fear that you won’t hear them for lesser symptoms, but then your job is to uncover the anxiety, not ignore the complaint.

I have heard from many patients that their doctor “did not believe” their complaints because they did not make sense.

If you don’t trust them, why should they trust you, Doctor? "

From a Chiropractic patient's perspective

CHIROPRACTIC PATIENT,

Would you submit what you would like your Chiropractor to know? It would be good to have several published. We won't publish your name.

  1. "On the whole i'm never too worried about telling what is wrong with me or being manipulated. The only manipulation that ALWAYS worries me a lot is the neck, the crack when it happens, the moment my chiropractor makes the quick movement, that's so scary and it remains scary for me!! (maybe because of stories where people ended with a broken neck or handicapped (indianenverhalen??) (Indian stories - Dutch expression)

    And the other thing i'm always a bit worried about is the fact that one should not have too many manipulations in a short time, because they told me that is working against it. You must let the body rest again, if you go too often there is a chance the bones go back into the old position quicker. Is there any truth in that?

    Well, those were my concerns regarding the chiropractor. I see my Chiropractor regularly, maybe once per 3 months, and I go to the gym 2 of 3 times a week and try to keep my neck in the right position!!"
