Myths About Chiropractic and Chiropractors

1. There are a lot of conflicting views about chiropractors and in most cases there is no merit. Here are the top ten most common myths about chiropractors: 1. Chiropractic is not a recognized profession chiropractor in Pasadena CA are regulated by government by the General Chiropractic Council. It is the widest used and fastest growing complementary medicine in the world. There are currently trials in North East London regarding chiropractic on the NHS, which so far have been very successful. 2. Chiropractic care is dangerous Chiropractic care has been shown to be one of the safest medical treatments. The most common concern is that neck adjustments cause stroke. A recent study by Cassidy et al showed that you are just as likely to have a stroke if you see your GP as you are if you see your chiropractor. How can the neck adjustment be the thing to blame? Unfortunately chiropractors and GPs see people who are going to have a stroke, which in a lot of cases is undetectable until it happens. 3. Chiropractors are not "real doctors" chiropractor in Pasadena CA are not in fact medical doctors. As described earlier though they do go through similar training hours and are awarded a D.C. title on completion, which means Doctor of Chiropractic. So although they are not a Medical Doctor they are a Doctor of Chiropractic. 4. Chiropractors X-Ray every person Chiropractors are trained to read and take x-rays. Because of this chiropractors are required to follow strict guidelines (IRMER) to who they can and can't x-ray. There always has to be justification to x-ray and in the vast majority of cases this is present. Myths About Chiropractic and Chiropractors
