CHIROPRACTIC MYTH #1 IN DULUTH: CHIROPRACTIC CARE IS A FRAUD

Chiropractic care is absolutely a real practice that produces real results. Complete Healthcare Medical Center has helped thousands of patients over the past 20 years heal through quality patient care and effective treatment plans. We would not have the number of satisfied customers that we do if chiropractic care didn't help our patients. Additionally, our doctors are experienced, licensed professionals who obtained extensive training in science, health, and the human body and earned a Doctor of Chiropractic degree after at least four years. Prior to attending chiropractic school, potential chiropractors must also complete their undergraduate degrees. Furthermore, chiropractic candidates must also participate in supervised clinical programs before obtaining their doctorate degrees. If you would like to know more about our doctors and their excellent educational backgrounds, we invite you to read their bios on our website.

CHIROPRACTIC MYTH #3: CHIROPRACTIC CARE IS DANGEROUS

When performed by a licensed, experienced chiropractor after a review of your x-rays, chiropractic care provides a safe form of pain management that is not dangerous. There are rarely issues arising from spinal manipulation and chiropractic care typically has fewer safety concerns than other options. Additionally, many people may assume that chiropractic treatments hurt which is a sad misconception. While chiropractic treatments may *look* like they hurt, they are designed to reduce and eliminate pain, not trigger it. While some people may experience minor discomfort immediately following their visit, most patients report feeling much better than they did before coming in. If you are concerned about a past injury or increased sensitivity, please talk to us so that we may develop a more gentle treatment plan that better suits your individual needs.

If your child plays sports or spends a lot of time on their electronic devices, we advise you to bring them in to see us for a consultation because these issues are frequently associated with youth spinal issues.
