Chiropractic care is often surrounded by misconceptions. Understanding the true facts can help you make informed decisions about your spine health.
- Myth 1 Chiropractors Only Treat Back Pain: While it’s true that many people who visit a chiropractor go for back pain, they also treat neck pain, headaches, and joint issues.
- Myth 2 Chiropractors Aren’t Real Doctors: Many people believe that chiropractors aren’t as qualified as other healthcare providers. Chiropractors must complete extensive education and training to obtain their license. They earn a Doctor of Chiropractic degree which typically takes 4 years of post-graduate education to receive after their undergraduate studies.
- Myth 3 Chiropractic Adjustments Are Dangerous: Chiropractic adjustments are widely regarded as safe if practiced by a qualified practitioner. Research shows that chiropractic care is an effective and low-risk treatment for a range of musculoskeletal issues.
