Do you want to get rid of your body pain
and sore muscles? Chiropractic care is the
best solution for you! Here are six
chiropractic myths and the truths behind
them.
Chiropractic treatments are very effective
at eliminating back pain and other physical
discomfort. However, there are many
misconceptions circling the topic. Do you
want to know accurate information about
chiropractic care? In this video, we will
debunk the most common myths about it.
Chiropractic care helps people of all ages
relieve aches and pains associated with
nerve damage, tight muscles, and poor
posture. About 35 million US citizens receive
chiropractic care annually, and these people
experience immediate pain and strain relief
after the procedure.
Unfortunately, when it comes to chiropractic
treatment, there are a lot of inaccuracies and
misunderstandings that leave people
confused as to whether the procedure really
is helpful or not. Despite its proven effectivity,
a lot of people still worry about its risks.
If you are planning to have a chiropractic
procedure to relieve muscle pain, here are
some of the most common chiropractic myths
and the truths behind them:
1. Chiropractic Care Is Expensive
This is the most common misconception when it
comes to chiropractic care. Most people think
that a single treatment is much more expensive
than other medical procedures. However, if you
compare the cost of an adjustment to a single
visit to the doctor, a chiropractor actually
charges less.
Not only does it cost much less than a visit to the
doctor, it can actually save you more money by
helping you avoid expensive treatments in the
long run.
2. Chiropractic Treatments Are Dangerous
The main purpose of chiropractic treatments
is to align the neck or spine to relieve pain.
This leads people to believe that such
procedures are dangerous and painful. The
truth is, chiropractic care provides a safer
form of pain management. There are also
very few chiropractic injuries recorded.
Although a small number of people may have
experienced a stroke after chiropractic
treatment, this risk is nothing compared to the
millions who are hospitalized due to drug
reactions every year.
When compared to surgery, chiropractic care is
far safer. Studies show that about 2% of patients
die within 30 days of undergoing a surgical
procedure. There are a lot of risks linked to
medical treatments, but chiropractic care is
usually safer than others.
3. Chiropractors Are Not Real Doctors
One of the most common questions when it
comes to chiropractic treatment is, "Are
chiropractors real?" There is a misconception
that chiropractors are less qualified than other
doctors, and that they are not real doctors at all.
This is false. Just like medical doctors,
chiropractors have to complete a four-year
degree, a doctorate degree for another four to
five years of studying, and pass a state and
national board certification in order to get their
license and perform chiropractic procedures.
4. Chiropractic Treatments Are Not for
Children
Chiropractic care is absolutely safe for kids. It is
actually proven that a child may receive a
chiropractic adjustment in order to make their
growth and development better and healthier.
A very young child, or even a baby, can have
an adjustment.
If you are unsure if your child needs
chiropractic attention, you can bring them in
for a consultation first, and ask the chiropractor
what procedure will be best for them.
5. Chiropractors Can Only Treat Back Pain
One of the many myths about chiropractic
care is that it can only relieve back pain.
While it is true that chiropractors usually treat
back and neck pain, there are other
conditions and physical issues they can also
fix. Chiropractors can help with wrist pain,
knee pain, leg and foot cramps, headaches,
nausea, and difficulty breathing.
6. Once You Start Seeing a Chiropractor,
You Need To Keep Coming Back
This is one of the most common myths
about chiropractic care — that you will need
to keep coming back. Although timelines
and a recommended number of sessions do
exist and are needed for each treatment, it
is the patient's choice if they want to come
back and pursue the treatment or not.
During the consultation, a chiropractor will do a
physical assessment and a history examination
to figure out what causes the pain or dysfunction
in your body. After the assessment, you will be
diagnosed and given a treatment plan.
The number of sessions and visits will be stated
in the treatment plan. This is to make sure that
your body is responding positively to the
procedure. The number of sessions and visits
may vary depending on your condition, but the
decision will always be yours. If you wish to stop
the treatment, it will be done accordingly.
Also, if you have any questions regarding the
treatment you are having, it is important that you
are comfortable with your chiropractor and voice
your concerns about the procedure. Now that you
know the most common chiropractic facts and
myths, you may be considering going for a
consultation.
