Clearing Up Chiropractic Myths

Are you nervous about visiting a chiropractor? 

Chiropractic care is a widely misunderstood field, with many myths and misconceptions circulating. If you've ever questioned the effectiveness or safety of chiropractic care, you're not alone. 

Here are just a few common misconceptions about chiropractic care: 

Myth #1: Chiropractors "Crack" Your Bones

The unmistakable cracking sound that sometimes accompanies chiropractic adjustments has led to a common misconception. Contrary to popular belief, chiropractors don't crack your bones. What you're hearing is gas escaping from the joints. Chiropractic care, especially the specialized Gonstead method, is a precise and safe way to promote optimal joint function.

Myth #2: Once You Start, You Have to Keep Going

Many people worry that starting chiropractic care means they'll be committed for life. The truth is, most

patients continue with chiropractic care because they want to, not because they have to! Maintenance adjustments help keep issues at bay, and the level of care is tailored to your individual needs and preferences.

Myth #3: Chiropractic Adjustments Are Dangerous

Safety is a top priority in chiropractic care, particularly in specialized methods like Gonstead. These adjustments don't involve risky rotations and focus on one bone at a time. Chiropractic care has an excellent safety record compared to other health professions.
