Myth # 2
Isn't Chiropractic really just the same as massage or physical therapy?
My response: Absolutely not!! Massage and P.T. is undoubtedly a fantastic adjunct to a chiropractic adjustment but far from the same thing in that chiropractic is the actual physical movement of vertebrae for the purpose of relieving nerve pressure or interference that is causing specific pain complaints that may include muscular involvement. When treating Personal Injury (PI) patients I relate to them the need for chiropractic care in that the 2 most common components of an injury involve the spine/nervous system and soft tissue (muscles,ligaments&tendons) and doing one without the other is only treating 50% of the injury, so that is why we offer both in our approach to treatment>
