Myths About Chiropractic
Chiropractic care often inspires curiosity — and sometimes misunderstanding. At Body Care Health & Chiropractic, we believe in helping patients make informed decisions about their health and well-being.
Today, we’re tackling five common myths about chiropractic care and setting the record straight ✅
💬 Myth 1: Chiropractic is only for back pain
Reality: While back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic help, it’s far from the only one. Many of our patients come for:
Neck pain & headaches 🤕
Postural imbalances 🧍♀️
Sports injuries 🏋️
Pregnancy-related discomfort 🤰
Chiropractic focuses on the nervous system and spine, which influence your entire body’s function — not just your back.
⚡ Myth 2: Adjustments are painful or dangerous
Reality: When performed by a qualified practitioner, chiropractic adjustments are gentle, safe, and precise. Many patients actually report a feeling of relief or relaxation afterwards.
At Body Care Health & Chiropractic, we tailor every technique to your age, condition, and comfort level — from infants to seniors 👶👵
⏱️ Myth 3: Once you start, you’ll need to go forever
Reality: This is one of the biggest misconceptions. Chiropractic care is not a “lifetime subscription.”
The frequency of your visits depends on your condition, goals, and progress.
Some people come in for a short period for pain relief, while others choose ongoing care to support long-term function and wellness.
We partner with you, not bind you 🙌
🎓 Myth 4: Chiropractors aren’t ‘real’ doctors
Reality: Chiropractors undergo extensive university training, including a Bachelor of Chiropractic Science and a Master of Chiropractic, plus clinical internships and ongoing education.
At Body Care, Dr Jeunesse holds both qualifications and works closely with other healthcare providers to ensure holistic and coordinated care 🩺
💪 Myth 5: Chiropractic can fix everything
Reality: Chiropractic care is a powerful tool — but not a magic cure-all.
It works best alongside healthy lifestyle habits such as:
Balanced nutrition 🥦
Regular movement 🧘♀️
Stress management 🌞
Quality sleep 😴
If something falls outside our scope, we refer appropriately so you get the right care for your needs.
