Discomfort can show up in many ways. Maybe it’s a tight neck after long hours at a desk or a lingering ache that makes certain movements harder than they should be.
When these issues begin to interfere with daily life, many people consider chiropractic care for relief. But misunderstandings about the profession and the treatments themselves can make some hesitant to take that first step.
If you’re suffering from aches, pains, or limited mobility, keep reading to learn how common myths compare to what chiropractic care actually involves, and how Wasserman Chiropractic can help.
Myth #1: Chiropractors Are Not Real Doctors
One of the most common myths around chiropractic care is that practitioners aren’t qualified to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal issues.
The truth is, chiropractors complete a doctoral program focused on anatomy, biomechanics, neurology, and clinical hands-on training. They must pass national board exams and meet strict licensing requirements to practice.
At Wasserman Chiropractic, care is provided by experienced professionals with advanced training in injury treatment and rehabilitation. You are receiving care from a provider who understands how the musculoskeletal system works and how to help it function better.
Myth #2: Adjustments Hurt or Carry Significant Risk
We’ve all seen videos online of adjustments with exceptionally loud cracking noises and intense, jerk-like movements being performed on patients. But that’s not an accurate representation of real chiropractic care.
Adjustments are designed to be gentle and controlled. Most people describe the sensation as pressure or a release rather than pain. Mild soreness can occur afterward, similar to stretching muscles that have not moved well in a while. Research consistently supports chiropractic care as a safe option when performed by a licensed practitioner.
Your chiropractor at Wasserman Chiropractic will tailor every technique to your comfort level and your specific condition so you feel supported throughout your visit.
Myth #3: Chiropractic Only Helps With Back Pain
Although back pain is a common reason people seek care, chiropractic treatment supports a much wider range of concerns. Patients visit for neck tension, headaches, joint discomfort, sports injuries, and pain following auto accidents.
Wasserman Chiropractic offers a combination of spinal adjustments, soft-tissue therapy, guided exercises, and rehabilitative
care. Our integrated approach helps address the root of your discomfort rather than just the symptoms.
Start Feeling Better With Care You Can Trust
Misunderstandings about chiropractic care are common, but the process is simpler than many people expect. Chiropractic treatment focuses on how your body moves and on identifying areas that may be contributing to discomfort, like pain, stiffness, or mobility issues.
At Wasserman Chiropractic, your chiropractor evaluates your symptoms and recommends appropriate treatment, which may include adjustments, soft-tissue work, or basic rehabilitation exercises. Each recommendation is based on your individual needs and goals, and every treatment is done with care by a fully licensed and qualified practitioner.
