Finding a chiropractor seems like an easy task. Aren’t we all the same? The short answer is no. Chiropractors all have the same focus, understanding and education about how the body functions, heals and flourishes but the approach to care can vary dramatically.

Let’s just get to the chase here. We are often encountered with questions about chiropractic. Many people really don’t understand what is is that we do and without knowledge comes fear and hesitation. It’s completely understandable, it’s human behavior. We fear what we don’t understand, we fear change and we fear the unknown. So here I am going to go over the questions, or in many cases the myths, that I hear on a regular basis and try my best to explain chiropractic.

So many people fear stress. Stress is unavoidable. But also know that it can be healthy and help promote wellness and vitality! Chronic stress is what we want to avoid.

A study designed to test the correlation between chiropractic care and its impact on mental health was published in the Journal of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Research on June 20, 2013. This study cited prior research that showed of the 2818 patients undergoing chiropractic care, 76% reported an improvement in their mental/emotional health. Additionally, these 76% also reported positive changes in stress and increased life enjoyment in the months after receiving chiropractic care. Similar findings have also been reported in the American Journal of Psychiatry.

The first few months and years of life are more important to our sensory programming and development than any other. When children are put through events like the ones mentioned above, their neurosensory system develops improperly, leaving them either hyper (too much) or hypo (not enough) sensitive to their environment. These imbalances can lead to major challenges and difficulties in social and academic settings, and contribute to other issues such as ADHD, anxiety, OCD, social withdrawal, and learning disabilities
