Chiropractic care is effective because it addresses the root cause of patients’ issues, so that they not only get relief from their symptoms in the short-term, but also prevent the problem from coming back. Additionally, chiropractic care treats painful symptoms without pain medications and the associated risks. However, sometimes, people avoid calling a chiropractor because they have heard myths about what treatment is really like. 

At Brodwyn & Associates, we welcome your questions about chiropractic and are available to address any concerns you have before your appointment. If you’re considering chiropractic care, don’t let these common myths keep you from getting the treatment you need.

Myth: Chiropractic Care Hurts

Chiropractic treatments are not painful and should never be painful. If you are already in a significant amount of pain when you come to your first appointment, our job is to determine the safest and most effective way to alleviate it. Our chiropractors will perform a thorough evaluation and discuss every step of treatment so you know and understand what’s going on and why. Our goal is to keep you comfortable.

Myth: Chiropractic Care Is Addictive

If you know someone who sees a chiropractor regularly, you can rest assured that they are not addicted—and that you will not become addicted to treatment (although you might become addicted to how much better you feel). After receiving chiropractic care, many people are so impressed by how effective it is and how much better they feel after an adjustment that they make chiropractic part of their ongoing healthcare plan. 

Additionally, chiropractic teaches you to be more in tune with how your body feels, so many patients notice when something is off and get care right away. You may find that you want chiropractic care to play a bigger role in your healthcare going forward.

Myth: Chiropractic Care Can Fix Everything

Chiropractic care has broad impacts on the functioning of your entire body, and it is effective at treating a wide range of problems, from pain to insomnia. However, like any kind of healthcare treatment, it does have limitations. Our chiropractors will let you know if you need to receive a different kind of treatment for any condition for which you seek chiropractic care.

Myth: Chiropractic Care Is Expensive

Chiropractic care is cost-effective, and is often less expensive than other treatments, especially if you need long-term care. At Brodwyn & Associates, we offer special discounts and an Online Coupon for reduced costs for your first and second appointments.
