February 2025 Healthy News from Aaron Chiropractic Clinic Chiropractic Identity, Exercise, Attire

A new study by Leduc in January 2025 closed the paper with what we chiropractors wear influences our patients’ perception of us, including your Fort Wayne chiropractor at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic. Noted! Scrubs create a more knowledgeable, competent, professional, comfortable, trustworthy look for us. White coats and formal wear came second overall. For women chiropractors, the white coat was more affirmative for them than when worn by men. (1) Curiously, this attire issue does not just concern chiropractors. A study done in Saudi Arabia on patient perceptions of surgeons based on their attire found that patients favored scrubs and white coats. These preferences were accredited to perceived hygiene as well as the image of dedication and expertise conveyed by such attire. (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 ended with 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 Aaron Chiropractic Clinic! We know through experience that spine pain relief leads to our patients’ trusting us with other health issues. Bring on your Fort Wayne back pain and neck pain! We’ll put on our best scrubs, clothes and/or white coats! Together,  let’s, you and Aaron Chiropractic Clinic, work on getting you feeling better!
