Why More Doctors Don’t Recommend Chiropractic

Hey,

welcome. Doctor Ryan Alter,

your Delray Beach chiropractor. People ask me,

why don’t,

why don’t medical doctors refer to chiropractors? We have patients that start doing well here

and they say,

why didn’t my medical doctor tell me about this? Well there’s a few reasons. One of the reasons is they really don’t know what we do.

Okay. Lots of chiropractors do lots of different things. So the medical doctor doesn’t even really know what they’re referring to. They also don’t really understand how chiropractic works and what it does. we’re actually trying to accomplish. They think we’re kind of like

physical therapists,

massage therapists.

They don’t understand that we’re working on the spine,

which is directly affecting the nerve system,

which is why chiropractic is so crucial. But I wanted to just explain here in my office,

I’m in Delray Beach. If you don’t know that,

I have a ton of medical doctors referring to my office. And why is that?

Well,

because I’ve personally met with a lot of them

and I’ve explained to them exactly what we do. So I take care of a few. I take care of a ton of their wives. Over here you can see this is an orthopedic surgeon in the area. I send a lot of cases there if people need injections

or God forbid they need surgery.

He sends cases here as well. This is a rheumatologist who functions more like a sports medicine guy. They do injections but a lot of extremity work. So when people have elbow problems or knee injuries

and they need an evaluation or injections done under diagnostic ultrasound,

I send over here. Here’s another orthopedic guy.

 Here’s a sports medicine guy.  This is actually a chiropractic coach. So a chiropractor who coaches,

probably 200 other chiropractors. And he sent a personal endorsement of our office,

which we really appreciate. This is a physical therapist. I actually take care of one of the physical therapists over there.

I take care of the assistant. And we set a ton of cases over there when people need real physical therapy. There’s a dermatologist in the area. I take care of probably half a dozen people over there,

including one of the doctors

and a few of the staff and the team. And then over there’s another chiropractor from up North

who knows about the work that we do.

 So it’s kind of an old thought process that,

that medical doctors don’t send the chiropractors because in my world here,

we have a lot of medical doctors sending my way

and I’m sending a lot of cases out as well. So remember we’re here in Delray beach. We integrate with the medical profession. If someone comes to me

and needs another type of doctor,

I have the resources

and the team

and the network to refer them out.

We’re here to help you

and everyone you know,

feel your best.
