Facts vs. Myths

Fact
More and more people are choosing chiropractic care.

But there are persistent Myths that abound regarding chiropractic care. These myths stem from philosophical differences between medical fields, misunderstandings and good old economic competition.

Our practice is on the fore front of the chiropractic movement and we would like to take some time to dispel some of the myths that are circulating regarding the care we provide our patients.

Myth
Doctors of Chiropractic are not well trained.

The truth is Doctors of Chiropractic must complete required pre-med undergraduate studies. Once those requirements are met, they move on to a four-year program at a chiropractic college.

Myth
Doctors of Chiropractic are not real doctors.

The fact is, like other types of doctors, Doctors of Chiropractic must meet stringent licensing requirements and follow a strict code of ethics. They are also approved by governmental agencies.

Myth
Chiropractic care is not scientific.

As technology advances, state of the art diagnostic equipment becomes available allowing researchers the capacity to affirm what we have known, collectively, all along. We use a consistent scientific protocol to locate the malfunctioning areas of the spine.

Myth
Chiropractic adjustments don't make sense.

There is a natural order of things. All things have a purpose and place. We feel better when our bodies are in alignment. Most patients will state that they feel better after being adjusted. Adjustments help to return the bones of the spine to their normal position and motion. Thereby allowing the nervous system to be restored, symptoms relieved and the natural healing process to begin in earnest.

Myth
Chiropractic is unsafe.

The fact is, thousands of people will die this year from medical malpractice and medically prescribed medication.

While on the other side of the coin, of the millions of people who benefit from chiropractic care every year, only a small percentage will have negative newsworthy experiences.
