The Most Common Misconceptions About Chiropractic Care

The Hillsborough Chiropractor Clinic

While many people suffer daily from general aches and pains, they are often hesitant about using chiropractic care to ease the pain.

 

Despite being around for over a century, chiropractic care is still regularly greeted with some scepticism. People doubt the effectiveness of the treatment, resulting in them suffering unnecessarily for longer.

 

Don’t let these misconceptions about chiropractic care stop you from living an ache-free life. Here are the most common misconceptions about chiropractic care - debunked!

 

The process is painful


Despite what films and television series may portray, adjustments of your joints generally do not hurt. Your chiropractor will also listen to you and your needs so that you are comfortable at all times. There are a wide variety of techniques that a chiropractor can use from light mobilisations, instruments to help mobilise joints or massage muscles, through to the standard chiropractic manipulation that you have probably seen on social media.

 

Chiropractor care is not the same as a sports massage - it is more a case of  establishing the root cause of your pain and any longer term lifestyle issues that might be adding to your problem and helping to improve the tone of your muscles and  improving your spinal/ joint function.

 

Chiropractic treatment isn’t effective


This is another common misconception about chiropractic treatment but it couldn’t be further from the truth!

 

Chiropractic care has been proven to offer effective relief for many painful conditions. While chiropractors are not medically trained doctors, they have years of training to enable them to understand musculoskeletal and associated neurological conditions and how best to treat them.

 

You’ll need to see the chiropractor forever


Whilst for longer standing problems you might need to start by seeing the chiropractor once or twice a week, some people may feel relief after just one appointment.

 

The number of sessions you need will depend on your condition and lifestyle. However, your treatment plan should be a choice made between you and your chiropractor. It is your choice whether to start treatment and whether you want to stop treatment. Some patients may choose to attend for 'maintenance treatments' to help keep them functioning and feeling as good as possible for their condition. Your chiropractor will advise you what they feel is best for you.


Chiropractic treatment isn’t safe for children


Chiropractic care can be useful for people of all ages. Here at the Hillsborough Chiropractic Clinic we treat patients over the age of approximately 6 years of age. We would adjust our treatments to suit the age and size of our patient. Please note that all children under the age of 16 must attend every appointment with a parent.

 

Chiropractic treatment can help provide a natural and safe approach to musculoskeletal care for the whole family.
