CLOTHES MAKE THE … CHIROPRACTOR?
A recent study by Leduc in January 2025 closed
the paper with what we chiropractors wear influences
our patients’ perception of us, including your Manchester chiropractor at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries. Good 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 issue of clothes does not concern
only chiropractors. A study in Saudi Arabia
found that patients preferred surgeons who wore scrubs and white coats, associating them with hygiene, dedication, and expertise. (2) Beyond
their attire, chiropractors are working to hone their professional
identity to better interact other healthcare colleagues who – according to
other articles like the surgeon attire article – also work to polish
their image and identity for their patients and collegial interactions. (3) One
paper boldly resolved 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) Beginning with spine
care works for Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries! We know
through experience that spine pain relief leads to our patients’ trusting us
with other health issues. Bring on your Manchester back pain and
neck pain! We’ll put on our best scrubs, clothes and/or white coats!
Together, let’s, you and Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries, get you feeling better!
