Chiropractors do more than just treat back pain, and quality chiropractic care should include holistic and wellness care, sports rehab, diet and nutrition counseling, weight management, stress management, and more. At Russo Chiropractic and Rehab, Dr. Fred Russo is experienced in chiropractic care, physical medicine and injury rehabilitation, and sports medicine. Here is our guide to choosing the right chiropractor for you.

Ask A Friend or Colleague For a Recommendation

The best place to start when looking for a chiropractor is your primary care physician. You can ask them to recommend an experienced, reputable chiropractor in your area. You can also ask a friend or family member to recommend a local chiropractor they have visited.

Do a Google Search

If you can’t ask anyone for a recommendation, you can do a Google search to find a chiropractor in your area. Try search terms like:

  • Best chiropractor in Tallahassee, FL
  • Chiropractor near me in Tallahassee, FL
  • Chiropractic care in Tallahassee, FL
  • Quality chiropractic care in Tallahassee, FL
  • Sports rehab in Tallahassee, FL

Check Patient Reviews

Before choosing a chiropractor, it’s important to read patient reviews online to see what other people’s experiences have been. Check sites like Google, Yelp, Facebook, and the Better Business Bureau. Watch out for reviews that claim a chiropractor was unsafe, unprofessional, unfriendly, or did not seem experienced. Dr. Russo and Russo Chiropractic are proud to have a 4.9 star rating on Google. We are warmed by how we are able to improve the lives of our patients. Dr. Russo’s unparalleled commitment and devotion to each patient’s rehabilitative success continues to be authenticated by the testimony of our patients.

Evaluate Their Education and Experience

You should only choose a chiropractor who is licensed, has extensive experience, and has graduated from an accredited chiropractic college. Check the chiropractor’s bio on their website to evaluate their education and experience. Dr. Russo has been in practice for over 33 years and has post graduate degrees in chiropractic sports medicine as well in functional neurology from the Carrick institute of neurology in addition to his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from National University of Health Sciences.

Schedule a Consultation

The best way to determine if a chiropractor is right for you is to schedule a consultation. A consultation gives you the chance to tour the office, ask questions, discuss the chiropractor’s recommended treatment options, and evaluate their communication style and bedside manner.
