Chiropractic Myths and the Facts

You Can Only go for an Adjustment if You Feel Immediate Pain
Just because you don't feel pain in your shoulder joint anymore, doesn't mean that it's not there.

Painkillers might dull and numb the pain, but they don't cure the cause. In many cases, past injuries and unstable joints present themselves years after the incident has occurred. Even if you have any past injuries that twinge time and again, go to the chiropractor as soon as possible so there is no future risk of injury.
