Description

When I first started chiropractic practice nearly 28 years ago, I noticed that there were a lot of people who didn't really know much about chiropractic. Since then, the average person seems to know quite a bit more about what I do but I'm still surprised that chiropractic is still so misunderstood. It appears that there are a bunch of myths surrounding chiropractic care that continues to linger around year after year almost as part of the collective unconscious of the population.

In an effort to really help you understand how chiropractic differentiates itself from other types of health care, I wanted to share 10 interesting facts that might not be very well understood by your friends and neighbors.

#1 - We know a lot more than just the spine!

#2 - Chiropractic is for all ages.

#3 - Pain is often the last symptom of dysfunction.

#4 - Adjustments don't hurt and don't cause damage

#5 - The Nervous System is King

#6 -  Athletes use chiropractors to stay well and perform better, not just for the occasional injury.

#7 - Doctors don't do the healing.

#8 - Chiropractic may help you get sick less.

#9 - Successful chiropractic outcomes require engaged patients.

#10 - "I heard I'll have to go forever" is a myth.
