Many millions of people around the world have gained relief and improved health enabling them to return to their active daily lives whilst under Chiropractic care. For these millions seeing their Chiropractor for a check-up is just as natural as seeing their Dentist for a clean and check-up.
There are still many millions of people who have been to Doctors, Surgeons and other therapists and told they will just have to "live with their problem". Unfortunately all this means is there is no traditional medical cure for their problem, where in fact their cure may lie in complementary medicine.
One of the biggest draws backs to our health system is the lack of integration. Modern medical education does not teach Doctors and Surgeons about the benefits of Chiropractic and when it's most appropriate to trial some care. Worst of all, they are not even trained to refer a patient to a Chiropractor.
Chiropractic has grown because of the exhaustive research that is constantly being undertaken to scientifically prove the benefits of Chiropractic care and because of people's willingness to step into a Chiropractor's office and try something new. And then passing on their experiences to others.
When relaying your experiences about Chiropractic the most common thing heard is "he cracked me and it felt better". It is fantastic that you gained relief from an adjustment but Chiropractors do not "crack", "crunch" or "break" bones we "adjust" the joint which is usually very gentle and many techniques do not cause any noise at all. So try not to describe your experiences like that as one, it is not correct and two, it sounds scary and will frighten people off.
Above all Chiropractors are highly trained and skilled primary health care professionals who want to help improve people's quality of life whether that be as a front line practitioner or as an alternative after all other traditional medical avenues have been exhausted. We are here to help.
