Chiropractic care for beginners

My Chiropractic clinic in San Diego primarily serves those who have had experience with chiropractic treatment over the course of their lives.  Many of them come for treatment not because they have a particular ache or pain but because they simply like the way they feel after a treatment.  I don’t want to imply that chiropractic care is addicting like smoking is, but after you have experienced the improved range of motion, increased athletic performance and decreased muscle tension that results from chiropractic care, many simply want that feeling to be the norm.  Other patients come specifically for treatment of neck pain, back pain, headaches, etc.

One thing that most of these patients have in common is that they usually know someone who could benefit from chiropractic care but that person is hesitant.  They are hesitant to come for treatment either because they don’t “believe” in chiropractors or because they are afraid.

Those who don’t believe in chiropractic care are easy to convince of the benefits of chiropractic treatment.  Many of these people hold on to the untruths spread by the American Medical Association (AMA) regarding chiropractors.  Between the 1960s and the mid 1980s, the AMA spent nearly $100,000,000 on an anti-chiropractic campaign.  While most of the information that the AMA dispersed regarding my profession was false and based on the poor behavior of just a few doctors, some people continue to hold on to those false ideas. 

That being said, chiropractic treatment has a direct and immediate beneficial effect on the joints of the spine.  This benefit is a combination of increased joint motion, relaxed muscles and decreased tension and is hard to overlook even by the most pessimistic skeptic. 

Those who are fearful of chiropractic care are more difficult to convince of the benefits of treatment.  They are afraid that they might get paralyzed or have some other life changing occurrence as a result of care.  In reality, chiropractic care is very safe.  The only “side effect” that we have personally seen regarding chiropractic care is that the patients feel better. 

The safety of your doctor’s office can be determined by the cost of their malpractice insurance.  Chiropractors insurance rates for the same level of coverage is less than 1/10 of most MDs.  What that means to patients is that despite the fact that some people don’t like the thought of having their joints “cracked”, a chiropractor’s office is a very safe place to receive treatment.
