Top 5 Chiropractic Myths
Our Chicago chiropractor, Dr. Robert Higginbottom, has practiced chiropractic care since 2001 and has served thousands of patients. During that time, we’ve heard some interesting thoughts on what exactly chiropractic is and what chiropractors do. Discover the truth behind some of the most common myths regarding chiropractic care.
Myth: Chiropractors Only Treat Back Pain
The main focus of chiropractic care is pain relief, not just back pain. Dr. Higginbottom has extensive training and experience to treat auto accidents, sports injuries, back pain, neck pain, headaches, and so much more. Lifestyle Rejuvenation Medical Group has staff available for laser therapy, physical therapy, regenerative medicine, body contouring, and more.
Myth: Chiropractors Aren’t Doctors
“DC” stands for “Doctor of Chiropractic.” Chiropractors undergo the same foundational education as primary caregivers before specializing in all things related to the spine. Dr. Higginbottom earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Health Sciences from Northeast Missouri State University in 1996, and in 2000 completed his Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology and received his Doctor of Chiropractic from the prestigious Logan College of Chiropractic.
Myth: Chiropractic Is Effective Only if You Get Treated Regularly
We do have patients that enjoy coming in regularly because they enjoy how chiropractic care makes them feel and keeps them out of pain. There’s ample research showing the benefits of regular chiropractic care. The thing is, the amount and frequency of treatment depends on your condition or injury, the severity of it, and what your health goals are. There are also things you can do at home to minimize needing a trip to the doctor’s office.
Myth: Chiropractic Care is Dangerous
Any form of health care can be dangerous when performed incorrectly. With Dr. Higginbottom’s decades of experience and thousands of satisfied patients, you can rest assured knowing you’re in good, safe hands at our office.
Myth: Chiropractic Care is Expensive
Our team strives to offer affordable chiropractic care. We accept many forms of health insurance and have affordable cash options for those without insurance.
