Chiropractors are the third largest group of medical practitioners? That’s right! And, one out of ten Americans goes to a chiropractor each year. Why? Well…

1. It’s inexpensive: Chiropractic treatments are a cost-effective alternative for treating a wide range of conditions.

2. Your insurance most likely will cover it: Chiropractic care is recognized by healthcare programs and covered by most insurance programs.

3. Chiropractic care is more common than you may think: Chiropractic care is the fastest growing primary health care profession in the US.

4. Going to the chiropractor can help you in the long run: Chiropractic is typically viewed as something to correct an issue, but it also can prevent issues.

5. They can fix “underlying” issues: Chiropractic care sometimes fixes things patients didn’t know were wrong. Long-time aches, pains, and other health issues that the patient assumed were normal are often corrected by a chiropractor.

8. Chronic Back Pain: One of the most obvious signs that a chiropractic visit is needed is if you are experiencing chronic back pain. There are many factors that be a factor in back pain such as posture, how long you’re on your feet each day, and the type of work that you do. A chiropractic doctor can provide you with pain relief without the need for invasive surgery or narcotics.
