Dr. Dawson Dispels the Top 5 Chiropractic Myths
Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders, especially those that relate to the spine. Unfortunately, there are several myths surrounding chiropractic care that prevent many people from receiving the benefits that it offers. Our McKinney chiropractor, Dr. Scott Dawson, has been practicing chiropractic care for over 20 years. He is dedicated to helping our patients achieve optimal health and wellness through natural and non-invasive treatments. Discover the truth behind some of the most common chiropractic myths.
Myth #1: Chiropractors Are Not Real Doctors
This myth couldn't be further from the truth. Chiropractors receive extensive training in anatomy, physiology, neurology, and other medical subjects. In fact, chiropractors must complete a four-year doctoral program, just like medical doctors. Dr. Dawson holds a Doctor of Chiropractic degree and has over 20 years of experience helping patients get out of pain.
Myth #2: Chiropractic Care Is Dangerous
Chiropractic care is generally safe and effective for most people. Chiropractors use non-invasive techniques to adjust the spine and other joints in the body. Dr. Dawson takes a thorough medical history and performs a comprehensive exam before starting any treatment. This ensures you receive appropriate care and are safe.
Myth #3: Chiropractic Care Is Only for People With Back Pain
Although chiropractic care is effective in treating back pain, it can also help with a wide range of other conditions. Chiropractors can treat headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, sciatica, and even digestive problems. Dr. Dawson treats both acute and chronic conditions, including sports injuries, auto injuries, work-related injuries, and so much more.
Myth #4: Chiropractors Only Use Spinal Manipulation
While spinal manipulation is a common chiropractic technique, chiropractors also use other therapies, such as massage, stretching, and exercise. Dr. Dawson uses a variety of techniques to address each patient's unique needs.
Myth #5: Chiropractic Care Is Expensive
Eldorado Chiropractic accepts most major insurance plans and offers a variety of payment options, including a membership plan. Chiropractic care is a safe, effective, and affordable treatment option for many conditions.
