8. The approach of a chiropractor toward sports injuries has
proven to be more effective than traditional treatments. A
chiropractor works more intuitively than mainstream
physicians do. A good sports chiropractor treats
sportspersons based on these values:
Values of a Chiropractor
* The chiropractor understands the value of competitive
sports and comprehends the functioning of a sportsperson
ensuring that the athlete receives proper treatment as well
as improves his performance. A chiropractor is intuitive and
does not allow external factors to overpower his judgment.
9. Values of a Chiropractor
* When he can be objective, only then can players receive
sound treatment along with the required rest. If the coaches,
sponsors or family members nudge him to state that the
patient has no injury or to hasten the process, then a
knowledgeable chiropractor will stand his ground and not
give in.
10. Values of a Chiropractor
* Chiropractic evaluation is the best judge of the nature and
extent of injury. A competent chiropractor will base the
choice of treatment on the evaluation alone.
11. Values of a Chiropractor
* A skillful chiropractor completes the treatment in a timely
manner and ensure complete recovery, unless the injury is
otherwise.
