Why Should I Go To a Chiropractor? Your Top 3 Questions Answered

Chiropractic care is a form of healthcare that still has a lot of speculation surrounding it. For those that already get care, the benefits and experiences are positive and numerous. For other people, the chiropractor’s office sounds like a scary place that you should only go to if you have a bad back. The speculation and fear that surrounds this practice is only present because the unknown is intimidating. It is simply misunderstood by those that haven’t been there yet. To set the record straight, and see how a chiropractor may be able to benefit you in your life, check out these top 3 questions surrounding the practice.

What Can a Chiropractor Treat?

For the most part, the chiropractor treats the spine. This sounds simple enough, but the truth is that treating the spine means treating ailments all over the body. Back pain, neck pain, and joint pain are just the beginning. A healthy spine also means a healthy central nervous system. As a result, many people find improvements in headaches, sleep health, digestion, their immune system, arthritis, the inability to focus, and much much more.

How Does a Chiropractor Treat?

Most of the time a chiropractor treats the body by manually manipulating the spine. In other words, they use their hands to place the spine into its proper alignment. With the first few visits, they will use this method to fix misalignments that are already present. With ongoing care, they will keep the spine in its proper alignment which may prevent further misalignments from occurring in the first place.

Is a Chiropractor A “Real” Doctor?

This question is asked often. Media hype gives some people the impression that a chiropractor does not fall into the category of “real” doctor. In fact, a chiropractor is as real as any other doctor. They attend years of education that trains them specifically in their trade. At the end, they graduate with a Doctor of Chiropractics degree. They must hold a license to practice, and are just as much of a professional as any other doctor. Just because they are specialists doesn’t mean they aren’t real.
