If you’ve never been to a chiropractor before, you may find yourself Googling “chiropractor near me in Easton” to find out more about chiropractic care and how you can benefit. You may have heard many myths about chiropractors and chiropractic care over the years, but here’s a look at the top 5 chiropractic myths busted:

1. Chiropractic Adjustments are Painful

Chiropractic adjustments are a very safe, gentle treatment method that doesn’t cause any pain or negative side effects. Our chiropractor will use his hands or an instrument to slowly shift your muscles, vertebrae, and spine to relieve symptoms, improve balance and alignment, and ease pain. 

2. Chiropractic Care Isn’t Safe

Chiropractic care is both safe and non-invasive. This means that instead of recommending dangerous surgeries or prescription painkillers, our chiropractor will try to find the least invasive, most effective treatment method for you. Chiropractors treat the underlying cause of your condition, rather than just treating each symptom individually. The goal of chiropractic care is to provide patients with the best chance of living a happy, healthy, pain-free life.

3. A Chiropractor Isn’t a Real Doctor

Our chiropractor has undergone years of education and training to become a Doctor of Chiropractic. Each chiropractor completes as many hours in the classroom as medical doctors do, and receives more training in anatomy, physiology, diagnostics, orthopedics, and nutrition than most physicians.

4. Chiropractic Therapies Aren’t Effective

Our chiropractor will find the most effective treatment methods possible for your condition and symptoms. Because many chiropractors combine more than one chiropractic therapy to treat each patient, the patient has a better chance of a full recovery and less chance of recurrence.

5. Chiropractors Only Treat Back Pain

In addition to back pain, chiropractors can treat physical and emotional symptoms like headaches and migraines, mobility problems, health conditions and their symptoms, pre- and post-natal side effects, insomnia, stress, appetite issues, weight gain, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, and more.
