It’s a seemingly nonsensical question. Why, after all, would it matter if your chiropractor were open on Saturday? For that matter, why would a chiropractor be open on Saturday at all? Most visits to the chiropractor are scheduled days or even weeks in advance, after finding an opening in both your schedule and the chiropractor’s. This is fine, for minor problems.

What if you don’t want, or can’t afford to, wait that long? It may just be that you don’t want to deal with discomfort and pain for longer than you have to. There is nothing to be ashamed of in this. After all, pain and discomfort are your body’s way of telling you that you made a mistake and you need to fix it, so being impatient is only natural. It’s especially understandable considering the havoc that this can wreak on your sleep pattern. Conversely, you might be debilitated enough by pain, weakness, and loss of movement, that waiting would interfere with work or other worthwhile activity. It could be that, when people must rely on you, you find yourself bedridden from pain and discomfort. It is best to get these problems taken care of in a timely fashion.

In Richmond Hill, schedules matter. You want to go through your workweek, then get on with your life. Whether ‘life’ is education, exercise, or even just friendly company, it’s still valuable to you. You don’t want to have to alter your work schedule, or cancel visits with friends, due to an already inconvenient injury or pain. For this reason, it is always, without exception, better to have more options. A chiropractor open on Saturday and Sunday offers a valuable thing: choice.

If you’re free on Saturdays or Sundays, then scheduling regular appointments could be relatively conflict free. If you do not work on the weekend, you could then schedule a Saturday or Sunday appointment in the morning and be fit as a fiddle in time to see a movie with friends later. A chiropractic clinic that offers weekend service is valuable for other reasons, as well. For instance, an extra day for appointments reduces their daily workload overall, allowing more flexibility in their own scheduling. If your chiropractor is open on Saturday and/or Sunday, then you are more likely to be seen in a timely fashion, as opposed to being in a painful holding pattern. So it’s always good to ask, for these reasons and more, “Is your chiropractor open on Saturday, Sunday, or best of all, both?” Dr. Allan Horowitz & Associates is open for several hours on Saturday and several hours on Sunday. Their clinic is also open weekday evenings until 7pm.
