At Zager Family Chiropractic, we hear all sorts of questions about what we do and how chiropractic care works. It’s natural—there’s a lot of misinformation out there! To clear things up, we want to tackle some of the most common myths we’ve heard and set the record straight.
Myth 1: Chiropractors Only Help with Back Pain
This is one we hear a lot! While it’s true that we’re experts in treating back pain, chiropractic care is about so much more. We can also help with neck pain, headaches, joint issues, sciatica, and posture problems. Beyond that, our goal is to optimize your body’s overall function by focusing on the health of your spine and nervous system.
Myth 2: Chiropractic Adjustments Hurt
We get it—if you’ve never been adjusted before, the thought can be a little intimidating. But here’s the truth: most of our patients say the adjustments feel great! Many even feel immediate relief. We tailor every adjustment to your comfort level, so whether you prefer gentle techniques or more hands-on approaches, we’ve got you covered.
Myth 3: Chiropractic Care Isn’t Safe
This couldn’t be further from the truth. Chiropractic care is one of the safest, drug-free, non-invasive treatments out there. We use precise techniques and take every precaution to ensure your safety. Plus, chiropractors go through years of education and training to become licensed professionals. You’re in good hands here at Zager Family Chiropractic.
Myth 4: Once You Start, You’re Stuck Forever
We promise—we’re not here to “trap” you into care! Some people do choose to make chiropractic a regular part of their wellness routine (just like going to the gym or eating healthy), but it’s completely up to you. Whether you come to us for a quick fix or long-term care, we’ll create a plan that fits your specific goals.
Myth 5: Chiropractors Aren’t Real Doctors
Let’s clear this one up right now. Chiropractors go through extensive schooling, including earning a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree. We spend years studying anatomy, physiology, neurology, and more. So yes, chiropractors are real doctors—just like us here at Zager Family Chiropractic!
Let’s Keep It Real
We know it can feel overwhelming to sort fact from fiction when it comes to your health. That’s why we’re always here to answer your questions and make sure you feel confident about your care. If you’ve been hesitant to try chiropractic because of these myths, we hope this helped ease your mind.
If you’re ready to take the first step toward feeling better, give us a call or schedule your appointment online. At Zager Family Chiropractic, we’re here to help you every step of the way.
Your health. Your goals. Your care.
