People often ask how they can find a good chiropractor or the best chiropractor for them in Texarkana. 

Choosing the best Texarkana chiropractor for you can be a challenge. Here are some things to think about when trying to find the best doctor for you.

Finding a Great Chiropractor is not like going to McDonald’s where you would except the same thing from every one that you visit (hopefully you don’t spend too much time there!).

1. Get a recommendation. Asking people you know is often a great place to start.

2. You can look online at reviews on sites like Google, Facebook, and Yelp – among others. These do have to be taken with some skepticism at times though because often it’s the upset patients that post whereas the hundred’s or thousands of happy patients never do.

Another couple of considerations for you when trying to find the best Texarkana doctor is the type of problem that you’re having and your access to different chiropractors.

3. If you have neck pain, back pain, or headaches then it’s likely that most chiropractors would be able to help you… but even then different chiropractors will use different methods that might be more in line with what you want and need.

Different Chiropractic Doctors treat differently and all doctors have experience in different areas.

Not all chiropractors treat extremities, some only treat the spine and others might only treat certain types of problems. Dr. Hagebusch sees many spinal problems, extremity injuries/pain (shoulders, rotator cuff injuries, shoulder separations, elbows, wrists, carpal tunnel syndrome, hip problems, knee injuries, ankle sprains, and foot injuries).

If you suffered a sports injury to an extremity, it might be a good choice to see a chiropractor that sees these types of problems or maybe one that has additional training in sports medicine or rehabilitation… or at least a doctor that has experience with these types of problems.

If you were in a motor vehicle accident/car crash, then it’s best to see a doctor that is very experienced in helping people involved in collisions recover.

If you have a more complex neurological condition that involves anything from chronic pain to neuropathy, vertigo, dizziness, stroke recovery, resistant headaches/migraines, neuro degenerative problems (like Parkinson’s for example), etc then it would likely be best to see a chiropractor that was trained in functional neurology through a program like the Carrick Institute.

Some chiropractors will help you with lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, sleep, work ergonomics, and other issues that can better allow you to heal up and get back to normal.

This is one area where Dr. Hagebusch often helps patients with in order to allow them to reduce the amount of care required to heal and get back to normal (or as close as possible).

Dr. Hagebusch has been attending post-doctorate classes in Functional Nutrition which is used in Functional Medicine over the last year to better evaluate nutritional problems and labwork.
