Dr. Moulas on Chiropractic Misconceptions Part III

Do I have to keep going to the chiropractor for the rest of my life? This is a common question I field in my clinic.

Chiropractic treatments are like orthodontics of the spine. With repeated treatments the spine is trained to stay in alignment, and keep pressure off the nervous system. Time is required for braces to hold the teeth in place. Everyone’s condition is different, and once the spine has been corrected, it can be maintained by being checked by a chiropractor about every 4-6 weeks.

It is like an exercise program. Can you quit exercising after you get in good shape?

In all health care professions, safety is a major issue. Chiropractic has been well documented in many top health journals as being very safe. Only about 1 serious mishap occurs in one out of 1 million chiropractic treatments.

Recent research shows that the medical community of M.D.’s have about 100,000 people die of complications from prescribed drugs per year. (This was reported by the American Medical Association.) This makes the use of prescription drugs one of the leading causes of death in the United States.

Chiropractors are well trained experts that can provide a high quality of health care.
