While chiropractic care is not limited to a physical exam, the main portion of chiropractic corrective care involves hands-on contact. For many women, this can be an area of discomfort and uncertainty when being treated by a male chiropractor even in the most professional and appropriate settings. This is a personal preference, which is why many women prefer to be treated by a female chiropractor.
A female chiropractor brings the same level of professional know-how as a male chiropractor, but for many women patients, this also comes with an added level of comfort and communication.
Here are some benefits women find by choosing a female chiropractor:
- Comfort: Many women feel more at ease with a female chiropractor due to the level of hands-on contact that is required for chiropractic care.
- Communication: Some women may prefer to communicate certain issues with a female chiropractor that they would otherwise feel too vulnerable to discuss with a male chiropractor.
- Female Point of View: The male and female physical make-up differ, so women can get both a professional and personal assessment from a female chiropractor whose physical biology aligns more with theirs.
In any case, it really does come down to personal preference. Achieving ideal treatment preferences such as a female chiropractor is the first step to a successful chiropractic experience.
