1. CHIROPRACTIC IS ONLY GOOD FOR THE BACK
Some chiropractors focus only on caring for people who have back pain.
The benefits of chiropractic are much greater than helping with back pain.
Most chiropractors focus their practice on improving an individual’s overall heath by correcting all slubluxations in the body and not just the ones associated with back pain or any other symptom. The reality is, most subluxations will not have associated symptoms for years. Correcting these subluxations is still very important because they are a detriment to your health wherever they are present.
2. CHIROPRACTIC CARE IS EXPENSIVE
Quality of
life is key to understanding this myth. Those who have experienced long-term
care and the chiropractic lifestyle recognise that chiropractic care doesn’t
cost, IT PAYS!!! A study done in 1996 (Coulter et al, TopClinChiro) showed 87%
of long-time chiropractic patients considered their health as excellent, took
less medications, and experienced less chronic conditions associated with
ageing. Think of chiropractic as an RRSP for your body...it may cost a bit now,
the payoff is immeasurable.
In fact, even
in a publicly funded health care system where some other approaches are 100%
covered by our tax dollars, millions of people value chiropractic enough to be
more than willing to pay for their care with their own hard-earned money. We appreciate that fact, and it encourages us
to work as hard as possible to deliver the best care possible to our patients.
3. CHIROPRACTIC IS PAINFUL
Most times a
spinal adjustment itself will not hurt at all.
Some
occasions it may feel like someone is momentarily pressing on a bruise.
As your body
adapts to your adjustments, you may experience some additional discomfort.
Over time,
your nervous system integrates the effects of the adjustments and most people
feel a continuing sense of ease.
Many people
make chiropractic the cornerstone of their wellness lifestyle, especially in
conjunction with massage therapy.
4. CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENTS ARE ADDICTIVE
The inference
of that statement is that chiropractic care is addictive. If continuing to do
something that gives you an increased level of health and vitality is
addictive, then perhaps it is. The amount of chiropractic care you utilise is
always up to you. Most patients who see the huge changes in their energy,
immune function, sleep patterns and general well-being choose to maintain
chiropractic care as part of their wellness lifestyle. It soon becomes an integral approach to
enjoying a higher quality of life.
5. CHIROPRACTIC ONLY WORKS ON ADULTS
Chiropractic
can make a major impact on ANYONE’s health, from newborns to geriatrics.
Reducing nerve interference allows the body’s inborn ability to look after its
own needs to thrive, regardless of age.
