| Chiropractic Myths by Dr. Maya Pande, DC |
|
Here are some of the typical myths associated with chiropractic.
Myth #1: Chiropractic is addictive.
Reality: Chiropractic isn't addictive, however, it is possible to get used to feeling more balanced, less stressed, more energetic and pain free as a result of chiropractic care. It's similar to how some people get used to exercise and the feelings that come from a workout.
Myth #2: Chiropractic is just for back pain.
Reality: Chiropractic has been used to help many symptoms ranging from sinus pain, migraines, rib pain, menstrual cramps and knee pain. Chiropractic adjustments can also be used on an ongoing basis as prevention, similar to taking antioxidants to ward off disease.
Myth #3: "I can crack my own neck/back. I don't need a
chiropractor."
Reality: The desire to pop your neck or back is
caused by tension from a jammed or fixated vertebra, which causes
another part of the spine to compensate by moving too much and popping a
lot. The jammed part should be adjusted by a chiropractor so that the
rest of the spinal column will be balanced and stop being so moveable
and noisy. Cracking or popping your own spine may give you relief for a
while but soon the urge to 'pop' reappears because the cause of the
spinal tension hasn't been corrected.
