February 2025 Healthy News from Wilson Family Chiropractic Chiropractic Identity, Exercise, Attire

A new study by Leduc in January 2025 concluded that what we chiropractors wear impacts our patients’ perception of us, including your Millville chiropractor at Wilson Family Chiropractic. 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 men wear them. (1) Curiously, this attire issue doesn’t just concern chiropractors. A study in Saudi Arabia found that patients preferred surgeons who wore scrubs and white coats, relating them to hygiene, dedication, and expertise. (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 Wilson Family Chiropractic! We know through experience that spine pain relief leads to our patients’ trusting us with other health issues. Bring on your Millville back pain and neck pain! We’ll put on our best scrubs, clothes and/or white coats! Together,  let’s, you and Wilson Family Chiropractic, get you feeling better!
