CLOTHES MAKE THE … CHIROPRACTOR?
A recent study by Leduc in January 2025 concluded that what we chiropractors wear influences
our patients’ perception of us, including your Tonawanda chiropractor at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation. That’s good for us to know!
Scrubs create a more knowledgeable, competent, professional, comfortable, trustworthy
look for us. White coats and formal wear came in second
place. For women chiropractors, the white coat was more affirmative
for them than when worn by men. (1) Interestingly,
this attire issue does not just concern chiropractors. A study
of patient perception of surgeons based on their clothing in Saudi
Arabia noted that scrubs and white coats were preferred by patients for hygiene
as well as the image of expertise and dedication. (2) Beyond
their attire, chiropractors are working to refine their professional
identity to better interact other healthcare colleagues who – according to
other articles like the surgeon attire one – also work to polish
their image and identity for their patients and collegial interactions. (3) One
paper boldly concluded that “although the chiropractic
profession may debate internally about its professional identity, the
chiropractic identity seems to have already been established by society,
practice, legislation, and education as a profession of health care providers
whose area of expertise is spine care.” (4) Starting with spine
care works for Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation! Spine pain relief builds trust,
leading patients to consult us for other health issues. Bring on your Tonawanda back pain and
neck pain! We’ll put on our best scrubs, clothes and/or white coats!
Together, let us, you and Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation, work on getting you feeling better!
