The Local Bone Setter – Portland, Maine
The Local Bonesetter Is A Call Away. Portland, Maine. What’s the difference between a bonesetter and a chiropractor? A bonesetter is someone who was taught to manipulate joints by someone who has manipulated joints in the past, like a former bone setter. Bone setters have no formal training in anatomy, physiology, diagnosis or specific treatment. Bone setters have no formal education, no license, no insurance and no guarantee that they’ve met the standards of a profession. Bonesetters were originally used to set fractures or dislocations. To become a Doctor of Chiropractic one must attend an accredited 4400+ hour graduate program after college. They are taught all of the medical sciences taught in medical school but for surgery. Chiropractors even study pharmacology despite not prescribing medications. It is important to understand changes in body chemistry and how that relates to the nervous system and spine. Chiropractors must pass 4 national board exams as well as state exams. Chiropractors are licensed in all 50 states and most developed countries around the world. Chiropractors identify Subluxation. Subluxation is a misalignment of the spine creating nerve pressure, altered function and reduced health. While there is no local bonesetter in Portland, Maine,...

Chiropractor With No Initial Exam Required. Chiropractor – Portland, Maine People often call chiropractic offices just wanting to get cracked. They don’t want an initial exam, regardless of cost, the want a tweak and to be on their way. I can understand the need for instant gratification, our culture has come to expect it. A couple of months ago my wife took our car into the shop and had it checked out and some regular maintenance done. When I spoke with her and the service manager he said there was some work to be done. This is what I did not say: “There’s work to be done? Okay, do it!” Here is what I did say: “There’s work to be done? Okay, what’s wrong with the car and what needs to be done immediately to keep us safe, how much will it cost and how long will it take?” Jacobs Chiropractic Acupuncture receives calls from new patients daily. Most of them are interested in knowing what is wrong with them before they begin treatment. Like me, they want to know “what’s wrong with their car” before they spend time, money and energy trying to fix it....

Your Chiropractor has an assembly line office and you don’t like it? The fact of the matter is, many people love the speed of the office with a chiropractor who adjusts you and sends you on your way in 3 minutes or less. In fact, as a chiropractor and person who values my time, I love this type of office. In and out in a flash. I get the adjustment I need and no time is wasted on stuff that the chiropractor doesn’t deal with anyway. That said, we all need to be heard. Especially when it comes to our health, emotions and future. Nobody wants to feel like they are being pushed through for the convenience of the doctor and staff. The bottom line is that if you don’t like the speed at which your chiropractor works, tell them. If they don’t listen, or can’t explain to you why the office works the way it does, go somewhere else. Chiropractic is no different than any other healthcare specialty, if you aren’t happy with the doc, leave. As a chiropractor in Portland, Maine, I have struggled with finding the best balance. This is the message...
