When you have a back problem or back ache you want to get the best medical attention that is available. If you are trying to stay away from drugs as much as you can or if surgery is not an option, you can consider a chiropractor to attend to the problem. Try and find the best chiropractor available in your area.
Ask the people in your circle of friends and family as well as your colleagues or work associates whether they have ever used the services of a chiropractor and whether they can recommend the one they used. When people are satisfied a service provider they tend to recommend him or her to those who may require the same services.
There are many other ways in which you can find reputable chiropractors. With the advent of the internet, a quick Google search will reveal a lot of information. Many businesses and companies are represented on the net and you will find the same with medical personnel and also with chiropractors. Many will have their own sites or advertisements which you will be able to find with an internet search.
You can also go to CASA (The Chiropractic Association of South Africa), and view their list of members. It is of the utmost importance to find one who complies with all prescribed regulations and standards. Chiropractors are also registered with the Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa. It takes them six years to complete their studies after which time they have obtained a Masters Degree in Chiropractic. The person you intend to use should have his degree on display as well as his CASA and AHPSA membership certificates. That way you will know that you are dealing with a professional.
If your GP knows a good chiropractor that he knows and trusts, he can recommend him to you. You can also have a look at the books available on the subject. Reading up about chiropractors and their profession or buying books about the subject might put you in touch with the best in your town or city.
