Chiropractic is not a faith or a religion.  It is an art and a science.  It is the art of caring for those in need coupled with the science of the spine.

Chiropractic is the largest form of alternative care in the nation.  Chiropractic has become more evidence based in recent years.  As a result, it has gained wide acceptance by most of the governmental health systems, worker’s compensation and insurance companies. 

Some of the common complaints that chiropractic medicine helps are back and neck pain, sciatica, headaches, dizziness, arm and shoulder pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and knee and foot pain.

As a Chiropractor, I sometimes hear people say “I don’t believe in chiropractors”, or that “My doctor doesn’t believe in chiropractic”.  While this gap of misunderstanding has narrowed considerably in recent years, it is worth noting that some people retain the notion that somehow Chiropractic has to do with beliefs; and in the absence of that ‘belief” denying themselves one of the safest, most powerful, non-invasive treatments for pain. 

While some degree of misunderstanding and competitive rivalry still exists between medical doctors and chiropractors, the gulf of distrust has mostly narrowed.  The forces of integration exist not just in community practices, but also in the most prestigious institutions of medicine including the National Institute of Health, Harvard Medical School and Johns Hopkins University.

It is vital for today’s health care providers to learn to work with each other based on outcome instead of preconceptions.  Chiropractic is not all that a patient will ever need - no discipline can offer that.  But when placed side by side with medications, injections, physical therapy and surgery, its importance… and benefit, are deservingly obvious.

If you or your medical doctor still holds on to 'Chiropractic' as a belief, you just might be missing some of the best treatments available.  This false belief may just be the impediment to you getting the help you need.

Working at Paincare Medical Group, along-side medical doctors and nurses, has been a great personal experience.  The results and patient-satisfaction levels speak for themselves. 

Isn’t it wonderful how the world progresses forward?  Instead of continued suffering, consider getting some relief beyond just belief.
