Busting The Myth That Chiropractic Is The Same For Everyone
It is an undeniable fact that there are a lot of rumors, misconceptions, and myths about chiropractic care that continue to infiltrate the public conscious even to this day. In the age of information that can be gleaned from a five second Google search, I find it pretty alarming how often legitimate practices such as chiropractic care are taken down and widely believed to be ineffective or something completely different than what it actually is.
I try to dispel myths and provide the truth on this subject when I can, which is why, with the help of some information I learned from a great post by Back To Basics Chiropractic, I will discuss the myth that every single chiropractic patient gets the exact same type of care and treatment plan.
The truly great thing about chiropractic care is that it is always tailored individually to each patient’s specific needs. This is because, contrary to popular belief, chiropractic can do so much more than merely provide pain relief in the back and neck areas of the body. Chiropractic can bring relief to such conditions as fibromyalgia and arthritis. Chiropractic adjustments have also been known to decrease stress and fight depression, while also improving mental clarity and physical mobility in many of the joints in the body. What it really all comes down to is assessing what your healthcare needs are. Once you have established a sort of baseline for your health and wellness status, you can begin working with a doctor of chiropractic to come up with an individualized, personal treatment plan that will help you find pain relief and live a healthier lifestyle on your own terms.
You can get started by walking in to the nearest clinic of The Joint in your area, no appointment necessary. With flexible hours that allow the clinics to stay open on weeknights and weekends, you will be able to find time to make your health and wellness a priority in your life, as it should always be. When you have your first session with a licensed doctor of chiropractic, he or she will more than likely ask for a history of your health and medical concerns, as well as any symptoms or conditions you are currently experiencing. All of this information will help your chiropractor make the right choices for your body’s needs, from where and when to apply an adjustment, to what kinds of stretches he or she may recommend you try at home for added health benefits.
