Chiropractic Myths

Chiropractic Myths

There are few people that talk about chiropractic and how it hurts. I'm going to do something special today because... I think, once you know the truth, you know why these are myths.

Myth #1- Chiropractic Adjustments Hurt. 
FACT: Most patients actually feel a sense of relief, and the adjustment will cause no pain. As a doctor of chiropractic I make adjustments to your spine through specific movements - shifting the body to provide motion to the joints that may be "locked up."

Myth #2 - Chiropractic Care is Very Expensive.
FACT: Studies indicate that chiropractic care is actually more cost-effective that traditional medicine. Some doctors and several researchers examined data from 85,000 people utilizing Blue Cross Blue Shield over a period of 2 years. They found that people who receive treatment for low back pain through a chiropractic doctor instead of a medical doctor -- incurred costs that were 40% lower! Now I don't know about you, but that sounds like chiropractic care is actually less expensive. I don't know the last time you were in the hospital, but if you're in there at least three days your bill will be over $100,000 dollars on most occasions.
