CLOTHES MAKE THE … CHIROPRACTOR?
A new study by Leduc in January 2025 concluded that what we chiropractors wear impacts
our patients’ perception of us, including your Carrolltown chiropractor at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation. Noted!
Scrubs make us look more knowledgeable, trustworthy, competent,
professional and comfortable. White coats and formal wear came in second
place. For women chiropractors, the white coat was more positive
for them than when worn by men. (1) Curiously,
this attire issue doesn’t just concern chiropractors. A report
of patient perception of surgeons based on their attire 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 hone their professional
identity to better interact other healthcare colleagues who – according to
other articles like the surgeon attire one – also work to refine
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 Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation! We know
through experience that spine pain relief leads to our patients’ trusting us
with other health issues. Bring on your Carrolltown back pain and
neck pain! We’ll wear our best scrubs, clothes and/or white coats!
Together, let’s, you and Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation, get you feeling better!
