Myths

Mayth #1 – Chiropractic doctors are NOT well educated.After the required pre-med undergraduate studies, today’s Doctor of Chiropractic completes an additional four year program at a chiropractic college.

Myth #2 Doctors of Chiropractic are NOT real doctors. Like other types of doctors, chiropractic doctors meet stringent licensing requirements, follow a strict code of ethics, and are approved by governmental agencies.

Myth #3 Chiropractic is not “real” medicine.  As more sophisticated diagnostic equipment becomes available, researchers are affirming what chiropractic doctors have known all along. A consistent scientific protocol is used to locate malfunctioning areas of the spine.

 

Chiropractic adjustments are safe, and an essential part of maintaining good health.  

Like lifting a heavy rock off your toe, most patients report their chiropractic adjustments feel good.  When the bones of the spine return to a more normal position and motion, nervous system function can be restored, symptoms relieved, and the natural healing process can proceed.

 This year thousands of people will die from unnecessarily prescribed medicine.  Of the millions of patients benefiting from chiropractic this year, only a handful will have a negative newsworthy experience.

 Like regular dental checkups, once patients experience the value of chiropractic, many choose to continue.  How long you decide to benefit from chiropractic care is always up to you.  Similar to one workout not making you an olympic althlete, one chiropractic session will not completely fix your spine forever.  Making chiropractic part of your life style and getting regular treatments can help the body work at it’s optimum level. 

The truth is, chiropractic is a conservative, drug-free approach to better health that has helped millions of people since 1895.  Find out for your self.
