A Chiropractor Making A Difference!

Siwiec Chiropractic in New Jersey (Jackson / Manalapan)

How We Are Different from other Chiropractors

A lot of Chiropractors use a specific business model for attracting and treating patients. Some use fancy machines that claim to fix your Herniated Disc or other problems. At Siwiec Chiropractic we use every tool or procedure we can to get you better as quickly and painlessly as possible. We have all the latest technology such as spinal decompression and traction to cold laser therapy. We spend all the time that is needed to give you the best possible care that we can. Patients who have been to other chiropractors will go out of their way to get treated by Dr. Siwiec. We get patients from Jackson, Lakewood, Howell, Freehold, Toms River, New Egypt, Wall, Belmar, Lakehurst, Manchester, Brick, Manalapan, Marlboro, Sayerville, Matawan and even as far as New York City because they know they're getting the best care possible.

Why would people drive so far to see a particular chiropractor when there is probably one within a few miles of them? Because they know the quality of care is worth the drive.

We don't give every patient X-RAYs if we don't think they are necessary. And if we think there is a problem you have that can be better treated by a different specialty, we will refer you to the appropriate doctor. We constantly are complimented on how patients appreciate us taking the time to explain what their diagnosis is, how they acquired their problem and how we can work together to fix the problem the best way possible. Many patients claim that at other chiropractors they felt as if they were treated as a number instead of a patient. They come into the office and get set up on electric stimulation for 10 minutes, then the doctor comes in and adjusts them and schedules them to return in 2 days. They are not educated about what their problem is, why they have that problem, and exactly what is being done to fix it. All they know is that they get adjusted 3 times a week and it makes them feel better for a little while. This is not how chiropractic should be practiced and it is not how we operate. If you would like to see the difference between us and other chiropractors then simply schedule an appointment with Dr. Siwiec.

You can call us anytime within our business hours at our Jackson or Manalapan NJ offices (8:00 AM - 8:00 PM) and speak with a Doctor of Chiropractic about your specific complaints and treatment options. If you try to call most Chiropractors you will need to schedule an appointment to get any information about your problem.

Finding the right Chiropractor for your specific needs will depend on several factors. Location is usually the most important factor in ones decision, but you shouldn't just pick the first name out of the phone book or computer. The first one is usually just the one who spends the most time and money on advertising. Here are a few tips on how to find the best Chiropractor:

Gather the names of the Chiropractors in your area. Then take a few minutes to research them online. Their website should tell you a good deal about them. If you don't have computer access, call their office and ask them these specific questions.

• How long does a typical appointment last and what procedures are offered?
• What kind of adjustments does the Chiropractor offer?
• Is your insurance accepted there or how much does an appointment cost?
• What are the hours of operation?
• Does the Doctor have any specialized training in treating your specific problem?

Without screening your choices in Chiropractors, you don't know what kind of treatment you're going to get. You could be going to a Chiropractor that only does manual adjustments. You might find a Chiropractor who only uses an activator tool and doesn't even do manual adjustments. You might find one that does mostly massage and modalities. You might find one who gives every patient the same exact treatment no matter what their problem.

The key is to find the Chiropractor that fits your specific needs. They need to adapt the treatment plan to your complaints and do everything they can to get you better. You don't want to get stuck in a treatment plan that just gets you a little better and milks your insurance.

Have you ever heard someone say they don't believe in Chiropractic or that once you see a chiropractor you have to keep on going? This should clear things up!

Do You Really Trust What Your Chiropractor is Doing?

The thing that bothers me the most about Chiropractors is when they get lazy, don't do their job right, or are more focused on advertising and making money rather than focusing on getting patients better. I have seen this numerous times doing independent medical exams and getting patients who have been to other chiropractors. The same story keeps coming up and it goes something like this: The patient gets in a car accident or has an injury and goes to a chiropractor. The chiropractor gives them an exam, x-rays and usually gives them the same treatment plan. They come in 3 times a week and get a hot pack, maybe some electric stimulation and an adjustment. They keep this up until insurance cuts the patient off (from what I have seen the average patient is usually about 40% better at this point). Now if the chiropractor would of taken the time to incorporate some deep tissue massage, ultrasound and exercises, this probably would have taken care of the remaining 60% of the patients' pain. This is because a lot of the pain is coming from muscle spasms and knots from the injury, which doesn't really improve from adjustments. Most patients realize that after insurance benefits have reached their limit, they still experience pain and haven't been treated effectively. It takes an extra 10-15 minutes per patient to do ultrasound and deep muscle work, and you usually don't get paid any more than you would if you just did an adjustment and a hot pack. The majority of chiropractors would rather spend that time overbooking appointments and trying to attract new patients to benefit their fiscal year. An adjustment may make you feel better for a few hours or days but in the long run, your pain still persists, hence keeping you coming back for more visits. This is a perfect model for maximizing profits. Getting adjusted 3 times a week will make you feel better, but you will never really get better and you will keep on coming in until your insurance is used up. It is a business plan that is destroying the integrity of the Chiropractic Profession. If you or someone you know may be in this situation than it's your responsibility to do something about it. Your insurance company is not going to refund your benefits because you weren't treated properly.

So why should you choose Siwiec Chiropractic?

At Siwiec Chiropractic we will take all the time necessary and do everything we can to get you feeling better as quickly as possible. We will incorporate all the available tools we have to maximize your treatment. This may include Chiropractic Adjustments, E-STIM, Ultrasound, Myofascial Release, Massage, Traction, Therapeutic Exercises and Stretches. We will not stretch out your treatment plan to maximize profits. We will not hassle you to bring in your family and friends if they don't need it. If you have ever been to several different chiropractors you probably know that there is a big difference in who you choose to receive treatment from. Some chiropractors will spend less than 3 minutes with each patient, overbook and under treat. Some chiropractors will barely touch you, and you may feel that they didn't really do anything at all. Some chiropractors will spend most of their time telling you about what you have to do to help yourself.

At Siwiec Chiropractic, we are known for giving the best possible treatments we can and spending as much time as needed with each patient to get them back to optimum health as fast as possible. We are not known for spending most of our time advertising and billing instead of treating patients. You have probably seen advertisements for chiropractors many times, but before you choose your chiropractor because of a clever advertisement or a fancy machine they claim will fix your back, call them and ask how much time they spend on average with each patient. Ask them how often they utilize Electric Muscle Stimulation, Ultrasound, Myofascial Release, Traction, Massage and other Therapies. Ask them how long the average waiting room time is. Ask if you can have the doctor's personal phone number in case of an emergency or questions. If you are already seeing a chiropractor and don't think they are doing all they can to help you, come give us a try. We guarantee you will not be disappointed.
