Question
QUESTION: What is the best way to determine if a chiropractor practices straight or mixed?  One who will treat you with the long term quality of life as a goal vs one who will just adjust for the current pain?

Thanks,
V

ANSWER: Virginia,
That is a great question and the best way to answer that would be that if you send me your town and state I can refer you to a straight chiropractor in your area.  It is really hard to know unless you know what you are looking for and are able to ask the right questions.  I can just help you out here and find one for you, unless you are adamant about learning how to do it by yourself and want to do it by yourself, then we can continue this conversation.

QUESTION: I live in Lakewood CO.  My daughter is also interested and she lives in Lafayette CO.

Thanks,

Answer
Virginia,
OK, your daughter is located very close to a terrific doctor and here is her information:

Dr Erin Elster  
Address: 4880 Riverbend Road
Boulder  Colorado,  80301  
Tel: 303-442-5911 Fax: 303-442-5343  
Website: www.erinelster.com
Email: [email protected]

Since I really don't have any other contacts or doctors that I could recommend in the state of colorado at this time, I would highly suggest that you send your daughter to Dr Elster and then ask her office for a referral in your area.  

Yours in Best Health,
Dr Arnone
