It’s no surprise that the most common complaint that brings people into a chiropractor’s office is some sort of back or neck pain.

Fibromyalgia may be one of the more common, yet least understood, conditions that chiropractors encounter in their practice.

One of the biggest misconceptions that people have about chiropractic is that it is only useful for treating young or middle-aged adults. The truth is, however, that chiropractic can also provide elderly patients with safe, noninvasive relief from both chronic and acute back pain.

A common misconception of chiropractic care is that it only is concerned with back and neck pain issues.

Chiropractic research, particularly on the use of instrument assisted adjusting, has come quite a long way since the first instruments were being tested.

There should be no question in any healthcare provider’s mind that medical device development is a lengthy, often very costly process.

Patients seek out instrument adjusting treatment for a variety of reasons. In some cases, it might be due to longstanding pain that has slowly gotten worse or in an effort to regain lost functionality. Others may see a DC as part of a regular wellness routine.

Most people don’t realize the importance of the knees in helping us walk, run, or even stand. Of course, once they injure their knees, they become all too aware of just the amount of load the knee is expected to bear.

There is no question that instrument assisted adjustments are a winwin for DCs. Not only are they able to deliver the same amount of thrust with far less force by using an instrument instead of a manual adjustment, there is less risk of injury to the patient, as well as less wear and tear on the DC.
