Are Chiropractic Myths Keeping You from Relief? Q&A

Is chiropractic care just for back pain?

No. Many think adjustments only help backs, but they address neck tension, headaches, and joint stiffness too.

The spine connects to the nervous system, so realigning it can ease issues throughout the body. People often feel better overall after sessions.

Are adjustments dangerous or painful?

Adjustments use controlled pressure to improve mobility. They feel like a quick release, not sharp pain.

That pop you hear? It’s just gas bubbles shifting in joint fluid, harmless like cracking knuckles. Discomfort is rare and fades fast.

Do you need chiropractic care forever once you start?

Not at all. Some use it for short-term relief from an injury, then stop.

Others return for maintenance, like seeing a dentist. It depends on your lifestyle and how your body responds.

What actually happens in a session?

Imagine Sarah, a teacher in St. Augustine who twisted her neck gardening. She lay on the table, tense at first.

The chiropractor checked her range of motion, then applied gentle thrusts. She walked out with freer movement and less ache by evening.

What’s the deal with the popping sound?

• It’s gas escaping synovial fluid in joints.
• Not bones grinding or breaking.
• Some techniques avoid sound entirely.

Sounds can seem dramatic, but they signal normal joint function returning.
