Why Does It Feel Like Doctors Aren’t Really Listening?
Have you ever walked out of a doctor’s appointment feeling like you barely had a chance to explain what’s going on?
You’re not alone. Studies show that, on average, doctors interrupt patients within the first 11 seconds of them speaking. That’s barely enough time to describe your symptoms, let alone get to the root cause of your pain or discomfort.
The Problem: A High-Volume, Quick-Turnover Model
Most healthcare providers operate in high-volume environments, where they’re expected to see dozens of patients per day. This often means:
Minimal one-on-one time – Appointments are rushed, leaving little room for thorough assessments.
Symptom-focused treatments – With limited time, the focus is often on immediate relief rather than addressing the root cause.
One-size-fits-all solutions – Instead of personalized treatment, many patients get the same generic advice or exercises.
Why We Do Things Differently
At Momenta Chiropractic, we believe time matters. That’s why every session is a full 60 minutes of one-on-one care—not just to be different, but because being different is what allows us to get better results.
We take the time to:
Listen first – Understanding your unique experience is the key to uncovering the real issue.
Ask the right questions – Instead of just treating symptoms, we dig deeper to find the root cause.
Provide individualized care – Your treatment plan is built specifically for you, based on a thorough movement assessment and clinical expertise.
