Common Misconceptions on Chiropractic Care (part 2 of 2)

Myth #3: It Hurts!

Chiropractors who perform adjustments on patient have undergone years of training and clinical experience. Therefore, there is no need to fear any form of pain that you can experience during adjustment. In rare cases, a certain amount of discomfort might happen but it is hardly substantial enough to result into any feeling of pain. Since the treatment is manually applied, there are several factors that could potentially alter the sensations experienced along with the treatment procedure. If you are going to experience any sensation at all, it ranges from fatigue, headache, or local discomfort, but nothing life-threatening.

Myth #4: It Has Serious Side Effects

In connection to what's discussed above, you must not fear any serious side effects from chiropractic adjustments. There are some who believe that chiropractic care could result to stroke or even as far as death.

On the contrary, chiropractic care is recognized in the medical field as one of the safest form of healthcare. This also explains why more and more people are turning to this method of treatment as compared to the more dangerous surgeries or drug interventions.

Myth #5: You Can Perform Chiropractic Yourself

While you can certainly perform it yourself at home, it exposes you to certain risks. Remember that your muscoskeletal system is quite sensitive and chiropractors are equipped with the training and expertise needed to perform such critical adjustments.

By performing the adjustments yourself, you risk worsening the condition. Therefore, it is your safest bet to find a skilled chiropractor to perform it for you.
