After searching for a chiropractor in your area, the next step is to call one of the chiropractor's offices from your search results and ask some questions. You may want to ask that office if they take your insurance. Alternatively, you can look through your medical insurance booklets, papers, or on your insurance company's website and find the listings for the chiropractors that are part of their network. You may have to hunt a bit, as the directory your insurance provides to you will have many types of doctors, called "providers". For example, there are hundreds listed for doctors in Reno NV that are providers for insurance, Anthem, Humana, and so on.

If your insurance cannot or will not cover chiropractic care, or if you just prefer to pay cash (chiropractic care is relatively inexpensive compared to other types of doctors), you can move onto the next step, which is to ask what type of techniques and methods does the doctor use.

Ideally, you would like to find a doctor of chiropractic that has training in several techniques. This is because one technique cannot be used to treat all conditions. A chiropractor that uses the "Diversified Technique" or DT is pretty easy to find, as this is the most common method used. This method is used if the doctor determines that your spine is out of alignment, called vertebral subluxation. The DT method consists of the doctor manipulating your spine back into alignment.

Another method that chiropractic physicians use is known as the "Cox Technique", or Cox Flexion/Distraction. It is a non-surgical spinal manipulation technique that helps to stop pain immediately, and restore range of motion in the joints and muscles. This method is characterized by the doctor using a special Cox Table. This helps the doctor isolate the problem area, and decompress the discs in your spine, which also serves to restore nerve function. It may take at least 12 visits to your back doctor to obtain the best results, but it varies by individual.

Activator methods are used by many chiropractors, and are painless, high speed, low force method of spinal manipulation. The force applied is enough to move the vertebrae it is applied to, but not enough to cause pain or injury.
