Chiropractic Care: The Scary (or not so scary) Truth

We have had patients come into our office and tell us that their healthcare provider told them not to see a chiropractor if they have disc issues because we will hurt them or make their pain worse.

Let’s get one thing clear. When it comes to the spine (outside of performing invasive surgery), there is NO ONE who knows the spine better than a Chiropractor.

Discs are a part of the spine and disc anatomy, function and physiology is our scope, our line of work and the foundation in which we are training and taught to specifically treat. We also know when disc-related issues get to the point where you do in fact need to be referred for surgery, injections, additional rehabilitation, physical therapy and more. We know the orthopedic tests, the neurological tests and the imaging that gives us that precise information. If we have a patient that is crawling into our office and cannot even get onto the table - we are most likely going to send you for a steroid and anti-inflammatory medication to get you to where you can tolerate manual care. We are the providers specifically qualified to offer and perform strategic, quality and conservative care for disc-related injuries and pain. We are the portal of entry professionals for this and the people who have the responsibility to get you where you need to go should you need more invasive care.

Guess what the science, facts and stats show? Chiropractic care is LITERALLY the safest and most effective short and LONG TERM care in this arena. That is just documented, proven over and over again FACT.
