In today's world, it seems like people are on one side of the fence on chiropractic care.

 I'm here today to go over some of the top myths in what we do in chiropractic.

One, a lot of people think once you go to the chiropractor, you have to go for life.

The goal of chiropractic is to fix the cause of your health issues.

This means not a lifetime commitment, however, reaching your health goals may take some time.

Two, chiropractors only treat back pain.

Many people think chiropractors only focus on the spine because adjustments take place there due to the nervous system running through it.

However, chiropractors are focused on the total body health and wellness.

Three, chiropractic is dangerous.

Adjustments do not hurt, and they are not dangerous.

The small, precise movements executed by a chiropractor are designed to relieve pain, not cause it.

Four, chiropractic isn't for everyone.

All men, women, and children can receive chiropractic care.

In fact, children get significant boosts in mood, immunity, and focus.

Additionally, pregnant women get relief with prenatal discomfort, back pain, and digestive issues.

Five, expensive. A healthier, happier life is priceless, and chiropractic care is extremely cost-effective compared to surgery, time off of work, prescriptions, and irreplaceable family time.

Ten years of chiropractic care is less than just one surgery.

Six, chiropractors aren't real doctors.

There's a common belief that chiropractors are less educated and not real doctors.

Chiropractors require four to five years of graduate studies, must pass four certified board exams after graduating in many areas, and have more education than some medical doctors.

Now you know.
