The Top 3 Chiropractic Misconceptions


1) Chiropractic is only for back and neck pain.

The first Chiropractic client was deaf and had his hearing restored after a Chiropractic adjustment. The second had a heart condition. That was almost 115 years ago. Chiropractic was never intended to be limited to any condition or type of disease, because Chiropractic doesn’t treat any specific medical condition. The Chiropractic adjustment helps improve nerve system function so the body and immune system function better.

You need not suffer from a particular condition to enjoy Chiropractic and its benefits – you simply must have the desire to be as healthy as possible.

2) Chiropractic is just for adults.

Nothing could be further from the truth! Chiropractic is great for children. Numerous case studies and reports show that Chiropractic is very safe and effective for all children of all ages. All of my children have been adjusted throughout their lives from the day they were born regardless of the symptoms they do or do not express.

I certainly would not recommend anything different for your children than I do for my own. Chiropractic care for babies and children is obviously modified compared to that for an adult and the safety statistics of a Chiropractic adjustment far exceeds that of the vaccination and medications most people don’t think twice about giving their children.

At Blue Mountain Family Chiropractic we are particularly passionate about checking all children for subluxation as soon as possible to maximise their life experience. Our goal is to empower everyone in our community to get healthy and stay healthy for a lifetime so that they can have the best life possible. Our experience is that a wellness lifestyle including Chiropractic care makes for a happy family.

3) Once you go to a Chiropractor you have to keep going back.

How far you take your Chiropractic care, the results you desire and obtain, and the advice you follow is a choice for you. Relief care (reducing symptoms), Corrective care (fixing underlying damage) and Wellness care (ongoing health maintenance) are all available to you at Blue Mountain Family Chiropractic.

Undoubtedly, going to the Chiropractor on a regular basis is a very healthy lifestyle choice. However, the healthier you live outside the Chiropractor’s office the less time you will need inside the Chiropractor’s office!

Healthier living means less stress and therefore less subluxation. Compare your Chiropractic visits to working out at the gym or seeing the dentist. Your fitness is maintained or improved with additional workouts and dental appointments can be less frequent if you take good care of your teeth.

Remember your health is your responsibility.
