There are many common misconceptions about chiropractic. The one I want to talk about is "how it only helps with pain." Most people I have talked to that are new to chiropractic and have no experience with the practice, think that if they are not experiencing pain then they don't need to go to a chiropractor. Well, did you know the last symptom of a subluxation (misalignment) is pain? Pain from a subluxation could take days or even years to present itself. Yes, chiropractic helps with pain of the back and extremities, but it can also help with muscle imbalances, muscle tightness, headaches or migraines, even ear infections.
