February 2025 Healthy News from Pure Chiropractic Chiropractic Identity, Exercise, Attire

A new study by Leduc in January 2025 closed the paper with what we chiropractors wear impacts our patients’ perception of us, including your Concord, NC chiropractor at Pure Chiropractic. Noted! Scrubs make us look more knowledgeable, trustworthy, competent, professional and comfortable. White coats and formal wear came in second place. For women chiropractors, the white coat was more positive for them than when worn by men. (1) Curiously, this attire issue does not just concern chiropractors. A study in Saudi Arabia found that patients preferred surgeons who wore scrubs and white coats, associating them with hygiene, dedication, and expertise. (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 polish their image and identity for their patients and collegial interactions. (3) One paper boldly resolved 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 works for Pure Chiropractic! Spine pain relief builds trust, leading patients to work withus for other health issues. Bring on your Concord, NC back pain and neck pain! We’ll wear our best scrubs, clothes and/or white coats! Together, let us get you feeling better!
