If you have never been to a chiropractor before, you may be doing some of your own research about chiropractic care. You will likely come across a lot of chiropractic myths when searching online or talking to others about chiropractic treatment. At Chiropractic Associates of Murfreesboro, we have a team of chiropractors who work together to provide collaborative care and patient education. We think it’s very important for our patients to have all the facts they need so they can make an informed decision about their care. Here are some of the most common chiropractic myths in Murfreesboro, TN.

Chiropractic Care Is Dangerous

Chiropractic care is safe, non-invasive, and nonsurgical. Chiropractic therapies promote the body’s ability to heal itself, and do not rely on prescription medications or invasive procedures. Our chiropractors only recommend therapies that have been rigorously tested and proven to be effective. Our goal is to create a personalized treatment plan that offers alternatives to more dangerous and less conservative treatment options.

Chiropractors Only Treat Back Pain

Our chiropractors practice holistic healthcare, which means they treat conditions that affect your physical and mental health. They do treat chronic pain, including back pain, but they also treat headaches and migraines, sports injuries, anxiety and depression, insomnia, hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and more. 

Chiropractors Are Not Real Doctors

Chiropractors cannot practice until they have earned their Doctor of Chiropractic degree from an accredited chiropractic college. They must also pass rigorous examinations administered by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners, as well as a state licensing exam. Chiropractors take the same courses that doctors do, and many extend their education even further by becoming board certified specialists in certain areas. 

You Only Need Chiropractic Care if You Are in Pain

Chiropractic care can be preventive as well as curative. Our chiropractors offer treatment for all stages of care and can reduce your risk of illness and injury. We focus on improving your overall health and wellness and helping to live a healthier lifestyle.
