If you find one that wants to immediately set up a series of adjustments then run. The good ones will work with you on tailoring activities/programs specifically for you - i.e. adjustments, stretches, posture, etc.

And, if you have back issues and get one that doesn't ask for your MRI right off the bat......RUN! With the wrong treatment...these guys can make you worse off than you were. I scheduled an appointment initially and was told to bring any MRI or x-ray with me. We sat down and he went over everything and told me whether or not he thought he could help me. He even advised against any back adjustments. My daughter is a licensed massage therapist, and a damn good one. The chiropractor told me to stay as far away from them little fingers as possible.
