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

A recent study by Leduc in January 2025 concluded that what we chiropractors wear impacts our patients’ perception of us, including your Fort Wayne chiropractor at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic. Good to know! 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 positive for them than when worn by men. (1) Curiously, this issue of clothes does not just concern chiropractors. A study conducted in Saudi Arabia on patient perceptions of surgeons based on their attire found that patients favored scrubs and white coats. These preferences were attributed to perceived hygiene as well as the image of dedication and expertise conveyed by such attire. (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 article – 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 is good for Aaron Chiropractic Clinic! Spine pain relief builds trust, leading patients to work withus for 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 us get you feeling better!
