Q: WHO SWEARS BY CHIROPRACTIC SERVICES? AND IF SO WHY?
MY FRIEND GOES TO A WELLNESS CENTER AND SWEARS SHE HAS NOT HAD A COLD ETC AFTER GETTING TREATED. I’VE BEEN TOLD THAT EACH VERTEBRA CONTROLS CERTAIN PARTS OF THE BODY AND THAT A PROPER ALIGNMENT OF THE SPINE IS THE ANSWER TO FEELING AND BEING HEALTHY IN ALL ASPECTS

A: I have done quite a bit of research on the subject of chiropractic treatment and do not believe the benefits out-weigh the risks…

There is much disagreement about both the effectiveness and risks involved with chiropractic treatment. In my opinion, it is the only thing that should needs to be said about chiropractic adjustment:

A chiropractor cannot “cure” your condition or any other– at best, they would just make your muscles feel better. It would be best to first see your doctor—a real physician—and be referred to a physical therapist or an orthopedic specialist. I would advise that your do everything you can to avoid chiropractic treatment, as it will often do more harm than good.

Chiropractors have to believe that everything causes conditions that only they can fix so they can convince patients that we can’t live comfortably without visits twice per week.

I had a stroke last year as a result of chiropractic treatment and have since made it a priority to raise awareness of the dangers of chiropractic care. I ask that anyone going to visit a chiropractor to be aware of the risks and make an informed decision about treatment.

Although the chiropractic community will argue that I don’t have a degree and I don’t know what I am talking about, I only want to make sure people considering chiropractic treatment that there are risks. I have nothing to gain from this. Can chiropractors say the same? Make sure you get both sides of the story!
