Busting Common Myths About Chiropractic Care

Hi everyone, welcome back to Wellness Minute! I’m Dr. Brent Johnson, and today, we’re busting some of the most common myths we hear about chiropractic care.
Alright, let’s start with one of the biggest ones:
Myth #1: “Chiropractic is dangerous.”
The truth? Chiropractic care is incredibly safe — especially when it’s performed by trained, licensed professionals like the ones here at Castle Hills Chiropractic. In fact, it’s far less risky than many other common treatments for pain, like surgery or long-term use of pain medications.
Myth #2: “Once you start going to the chiropractor, you have to go forever.”
Nope, not true!
Our goal is always to help you get better and empower you to stay better. Some people choose ongoing care because they feel the benefits — like improved mobility, less pain, better posture — and they want to maintain that. But it’s your choice. We customize every plan to what you actually need.
Myth #3: “Chiropractic is only for back pain.”
Definitely not!
While we’re great at helping with back pain, chiropractic can also help with neck pain, headaches, joint issues, sports injuries, posture problems, and even stress management.
Chiropractic works by supporting your nervous system, and your nervous system controls everything in your body.
And finally:
Myth #4: “Adjustments are painful.”
For most people, adjustments are quick, gentle, and bring instant relief. Some people even say they feel lighter or more energized right after. At Castle Hills Chiropractic, we use a variety of techniques — so if traditional adjustments aren’t your thing, we have options to make it as comfortable as possible.
Bottom line — chiropractic care is safe, personalized, and powerful.
If you’ve been hesitant because of something you heard, let’s have a conversation. We’re happy to answer any questions and help you figure out what’s best for your health.
