Common Misconceptions About Chiropractors

Filled under:

By Roy van Rivero


Despite the rapid growth in the number of people/patients who are patronizing the services of chiropractors, there are still a lot of people around who are unsure on whether or not to try some chiropractic services and this is because of some misconceptions.

If you do a research on the Internet today, you will find that the following are some of the misconceptions that deter some patients in availing a chiropractic care:

Chiropractors are not real doctors

There are patients who cast doubt on the capacity of chiropractors in addressing physical ailments because 'they are not real doctors." That conception is wrong. Chiropractors are professionals duly-licensed by the government. In fact, the degree that they hold is D.C., which stands for Doctors of Chiropractic. They received the necessary training on anatomy, physiology, biology, and related subjects as well as clinical experience on spinal manipulation and diagnosis during their study duration.

Chiropractors can put risks to health

This is another yet popular misconception. While we recognize that there is no such thing as 100% risk-free treatment - even those medical procedures performed by expert doctors in reputable medical facilities - it has been proven in the past that services from chiropractors are one of the safest you can find around. As a matter of fact, the government acknowledges the importance of these drug-free, non-invasive treatments by chiropractors - as effective and safe alternatives to conventional medications.

Chiropractic is not covered by insurance plans

Don't be misled by this myth. The truth is, most health insurance plans cover chiropractic treatments. These include major medical plans, workers' compensation, Medicare, and Blue Cross Shield plans for federal workers. In addition to that, chiropractic care is also available to active-duty members of the military at more than 60 military bases as well as to veterans at various medical facilities.

Chiropractic is not safe for children

Obviously, this claim is false. The truth is that chiropractic treatments are safe even for children and that is why chiropractors encourage you to bring them to their clinic. Children, as we know them, are very physically active and get many types of injuries from various daily activities. Remember that chiropractic care can be designed so that it fits to a patient's unique needs - including that of children's.
