00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.279
Hey there and welcome back. I'm Dr. Hunter Schultz
00:00:02.279 --> 00:00:04.620
and you're listening to the podcast from 920
00:00:04.620 --> 00:00:06.740
Chiropractic Health and Injury Care here in Green
00:00:06.740 --> 00:00:11.300
Bay. Today we're tackling something I get asked
00:00:11.300 --> 00:00:13.839
about all the time and honestly something I love
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:16.160
talking about. We're gonna clear up some of the
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:18.460
biggest myths about what chiropractors actually
00:00:18.460 --> 00:00:20.019
do. Because I'll be honest with you, there's
00:00:20.019 --> 00:00:22.739
a lot of misinformation out there and it keeps
00:00:22.739 --> 00:00:24.620
a lot of people from getting help they really
00:00:24.620 --> 00:00:27.370
need. So let's just dive right in. The number
00:00:27.370 --> 00:00:30.370
one myth I hear almost every single week is this,
00:00:30.550 --> 00:00:33.250
chiropractic care is just for back pain. And
00:00:33.250 --> 00:00:35.689
look, yes, we help a lot of people with back
00:00:35.689 --> 00:00:38.229
pain, but that's really just the beginning. Chiropractors
00:00:38.229 --> 00:00:41.270
are trained to evaluate and treat the entire
00:00:41.270 --> 00:00:44.250
musculoskeletal system. That means joints, muscles,
00:00:44.329 --> 00:00:46.049
and nerves from your neck all the way down to
00:00:46.049 --> 00:00:48.490
your feet, headaches, shoulder problems, knee
00:00:48.490 --> 00:00:50.929
issues, even jaw pain. These are all things we
00:00:50.929 --> 00:00:53.689
work with on a regular basis. The spine is central
00:00:53.689 --> 00:00:56.070
to what we do, but it's far from the whole picture.
00:00:56.250 --> 00:00:58.670
Now here's the thing, I see a lot of people also
00:00:58.670 --> 00:01:01.070
believe that chiropractic adjustments are dangerous.
00:01:01.229 --> 00:01:03.070
That once you start something could go wrong.
00:01:03.170 --> 00:01:05.409
I completely understand where that fear comes
00:01:05.409 --> 00:01:07.530
from. Nobody wants to feel uncertain about their
00:01:07.530 --> 00:01:09.469
healthcare. But here's what's important to know.
00:01:10.090 --> 00:01:12.629
Chiropractic care is widely recognized as one
00:01:12.629 --> 00:01:15.450
of the safest forms of treatment for musculoskeletal
00:01:15.450 --> 00:01:18.790
conditions. The adjustment itself is a controlled
00:01:18.790 --> 00:01:21.870
skilled movement. It's not random and it's not
00:01:21.870 --> 00:01:24.390
forceful in a harmful way. We go through years
00:01:24.390 --> 00:01:27.450
of education. and clinical training specifically
00:01:27.450 --> 00:01:29.709
so that we understand anatomy, we understand
00:01:29.709 --> 00:01:32.450
what's appropriate, and we know when to refer
00:01:32.450 --> 00:01:35.150
out if something is beyond our scope. You are
00:01:35.150 --> 00:01:36.909
in good hands. Let me break down another big
00:01:36.909 --> 00:01:40.329
one for you. A lot of people think once you go
00:01:40.329 --> 00:01:42.469
to a chiropractor, you have to keep going forever,
00:01:42.609 --> 00:01:44.549
like you're signing up for some kind of lifetime
00:01:44.549 --> 00:01:46.750
commitment. And I want to be really honest here,
00:01:46.870 --> 00:01:49.790
that is not how we approach care at 920 Chiropractic.
00:01:50.049 --> 00:01:52.430
Our goal is always to get you feeling better,
00:01:52.849 --> 00:01:54.969
help you understand what's going on in your body.
00:01:55.150 --> 00:01:57.549
and give you the tools to maintain that progress
00:01:57.549 --> 00:01:59.909
on your own. Some people do choose to come in
00:01:59.909 --> 00:02:02.250
regularly for wellness care, kind of like how
00:02:02.250 --> 00:02:04.870
you'd go to the gym or get regular dental cleanings.
00:02:04.890 --> 00:02:07.549
But that is always a choice, never a requirement.
00:02:07.650 --> 00:02:10.169
So what do we actually do when you come in? First,
00:02:10.270 --> 00:02:12.770
we listen. We take time to understand your history,
00:02:12.909 --> 00:02:15.590
your symptoms, your lifestyle. Then we do a thorough
00:02:15.590 --> 00:02:18.409
physical examination, looking at your posture,
00:02:18.550 --> 00:02:20.810
your movement, your joint function. From there,
00:02:20.810 --> 00:02:23.069
we put together a care plan that's built around
00:02:23.069 --> 00:02:26.150
you specifically. Treatment often includes spinal
00:02:26.150 --> 00:02:28.669
adjustments, soft tissue work, rehabilitative
00:02:28.669 --> 00:02:31.629
exercises, and guidance on things like posture
00:02:31.629 --> 00:02:34.030
and ergonomics. It's a whole person approach.
00:02:34.169 --> 00:02:35.949
Here's something practical you can start doing
00:02:35.949 --> 00:02:38.370
right now. Pay attention to how your body feels
00:02:38.370 --> 00:02:40.610
during everyday activities. Are you waking up
00:02:40.610 --> 00:02:42.669
stiff? Does sitting at a desk leave you aching?
00:02:42.909 --> 00:02:44.870
Are you getting more headaches than usual? These
00:02:44.870 --> 00:02:47.629
are signals your body is sending you. And they're
00:02:47.629 --> 00:02:49.669
worth paying attention to rather than pushing
00:02:49.669 --> 00:02:51.590
through. A lot of people wait until the pain
00:02:51.590 --> 00:02:54.389
is really bad before they seek care. And by that
00:02:54.389 --> 00:02:57.330
point, things often take longer to resolve. Earlier
00:02:57.330 --> 00:02:59.530
is almost always better. If any of this sounds
00:02:59.530 --> 00:03:02.569
familiar, if you've been dealing with something
00:03:02.569 --> 00:03:04.689
that just won't go away or you've been curious
00:03:04.689 --> 00:03:06.740
about chiropractic but had some hesitations,
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.500
I'd love to talk with you. We are here to answer
00:03:09.500 --> 00:03:11.900
your questions. No pressure, no obligation. A
00:03:11.900 --> 00:03:14.900
conversation costs nothing. Thank you so much
00:03:14.900 --> 00:03:17.099
for spending a few minutes with me today. I genuinely
00:03:17.099 --> 00:03:19.280
hope this gave you a clearer picture of what
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:22.240
chiropractic care is really about. We are 920
