INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
We discuss:
• Why patients can sometimes feel worse after care
• How to separate a normal flare-up from something that requires further investigation
• Why “feeling worse” does not automatically mean the underlying problem is worse
• What to reassess before deciding what to do next
• When to modify your adjustment, when to rest, and when to refer
• How to screen for red flags without panicking
• The importance of setting expectations before the first adjustment
• How to respond when a patient says, “You made me worse”
• Why empathy matters without automatically accepting blame
• The value of following up after an appointment
• How to stop one difficult patient interaction from derailing your entire shift
• Practical language you can use with patients in these situations
Every chiropractor who works with people will eventually experience this.
The goal isn’t to avoid every difficult response. It’s to know how to assess the situation, communicate clearly and make an appropriate clinical decision without losing confidence in yourself.
