Top 5 Chiropractic Myths
Chiropractic care in Albany has gone from a novel concept to a mainstream form of health care. Chiropractors are now a staple of professional sports teams, regular care for many patients, and chiropractic is the go-to method of treatment for many conditions, especially back pain. Even with its acceptance as a viable and reliable treatment method, there are myths surrounding chiropractic care. Learn the truth behind some of the most common myths about chiropractic treatment.
Myth: Chiropractors Only Treat Back Pain
Chiropractors can treat you from head to toe because they can address health issues related to the spine. Have a headache? See our chiropractor. Your headache might be from poor posture or tight muscles. Have joint pain? See our chiropractor. Your joint pain could be due to arthritis, injury (new or chronic), stiffness or something else Dr. Wren can identify and most likely treat.
Dr. Wren specializes in chiropractic care and sports injury treatment, and can pair treatment with massage therapy, spinal decompression, and more as needed.
Myth: Chiropractors Aren’t Doctors
When people think “doctor,” they picture someone you describe your symptoms to who then recommends a prescription or a course of action to make you better. Chiropractors undergo the same foundational medical education as MDs, and then add even more school to become experts in all things related to the spine.
Chiropractors are also required to pass a board exam to be able to practice and must take continuing education courses to both stay up to date on the best treatment methods and retain their license.
Myth: Chiropractic is Effective Only if You Get Treated Regularly
Chiropractic care strives to produce maximum results through only the necessary amount of treatment. You shouldn’t be chained to a chiropractor to maintain pain relief. To achieve this, Dr. Wren can recommend at-home care and lifestyle adjustments to avoid inadvertently causing yourself pain and minimize the need to return to the office for help.
Myth: Chiropractic Care is Dangerous
Dr. Wren offers customized chiropractic care based on individual patient needs. When treatment matches what you and your body need, it’s entirely safe and effective. Chiropractic care is non-invasive, and patients quite often leave the office feeling better than when they walked or shuffled in.
