So You Don’t “Believe In” Chiropractic
From time to time, I hear the words “I (or my husband or wife or ‘doctor’) don’t believe in chiropractic.” Or, I “I believe in” chiropractic (or swear by it, or whatever). I’m not too crazy about that phrase either.
Here’s the good news: It exists, whether you “believe in it” or not! More good news: a chiropractor can help most people at some point in their lives, whether they believe it or not!
There is now plenty of evidence in the medical literature (not just the chiropractic literature) that what we do is safe, effective, and cost effective for back pain, neck pain, and headaches. Some of these studies suggest that it is the MOST effective way of treating these conditions (with exceptions, of course).
To simply discount chiropractic because you “don’t believe” in it is simply an uninformed decision, and in some cases, a sure sign of insecurity.
