Common Myths About Chiropractic Care - Chiropractic Care Is More Expensive and Less Effective Than Medical Treatment
Chiropractic Care Seems Like It Will Cost More Than Going to The Doctor
Did you know that, on average, if you initiate treatment for back pain with a medical doctor, you will spend at least 20% more for that treatment than had you sought treatment from a chiropractor?
When you see a chiropractor, they understand how to help the body heal itself. Furthermore, they know how to find the source of the problem, not just treat the symptoms.
When going to a chiropractor, particularly ones who don’t just offer adjustments but a wider scope of proven treatments, like acupuncture and others, a patient is less likely to even need surgery. This was the case in a study with patients dealing with lower back pain.
Once you have surgery, you can’t go back (no pun intended) and undo what was done during the surgery. Surgeries are permanent. Many times patients seeking medical treatment and have surgery end up having multiple surgeries that result in limited mobility and some level of permanent discomfort.
How Effective is Chiropractic Care Really?
Multiple studies point to the superior efficacy of chiropractic care to medical treatment. One study showed that out of 100 patients at one chiropractic clinic, 80 had tried medical treatment with no results. After receiving chiropractic care, no one needed surgery, no one felt worse, and 86 of the conditions had been resolved.
Chiropractic care does more than treat people with back pain. It is designed to treat a wide range of issues negatively affecting the body. Our bodies are interwoven and intricately connected. When we experience symptoms in one area, often it may be another area, that we didn’t expect, that is suffering and our area of pain is just a signal of another body part compensating for the root area.
The bottom line is that chiropractic care is designed to help the body heal itself using treatments and techniques that have been employed and proven effective over and over again. Just like choosing a doctor, it is also important to choose the right chiropractor. Not all chiropractors are the same.

Make sure when you visit a chiropractor that you find out a precise treatment plan, as well as initiate a maintenance plan to help your body prevent major issues and reach your optimum well-being.
