Sometimes what you don’t know can hurt you. You may be suffering unnecessarily if you aren’t seeking chiropractic care because of something you heard about chiropractic. We want to set the record straight on some of the most common misconceptions.
Myth #1: Chiropractic Adjustments are Painful
Chiropractic adjustments are gentle and effective for patients of all ages. Even newborn babies are adjusted with great success and without pain.
As technology and science have advanced, so have chiropractic techniques. Our techniques are extremely gentle, and most patients are amazed. After receiving their first adjustment, many patients will ask, “Is that it?”
It is typically a very pleasurable experience.
Myth #2: If You Go Once, You Have to Go Forever
How frequently you are seen for chiropractic care is entirely up to you.
Once patients begin chiropractic care and learn the benefits of chiropractic adjustment, they choose to continue coming. They know that they can keep their spines healthy and free from future injuries and pain.
Think about it a bit like seeing the dentist. You don’t have to see the dentist, but keeping your teeth clean and healthy certainly reaps big benefits. Seeing the dentist periodically to maintain a clean, healthy smile prevents disease and painful conditions.
Regular spinal adjustment keeps your spine healthy and prevents damage to your discs and joints.
