Some benefits of going to the chiropractor

Yes ladies and gentlemen! In a word where racism is still strong and the government and media have too much control over us all (I know they're reading), there are still those that defy the power of the chiropractor as a legitimate healing doctor.

Despite awesome customer reviews, results and overall good reputations from chiro offices, many are still seen as quacks and glorified massage therapists. Even during my research, I had to really dig for facts to support my claim because folks are writing and posting about most of the negative press from chiropractors.

Well as a loyal customer of chiropractors, myself and my mother, I'm gonna offer some well researched and tested benefits for seeing a chiro.

1. Yes many already get weekly to bi-weekly massages.  Why not take it a step further and get a spinal adjustment? Do the knowledge, it's basically a massage times five.

2. I have watched the health benefits over the years: less headaches, straighter spines, and avoiding expensive and risky surgeries and medications. Yes I am aware of the risks and malpractice lawsuits out there against the discipline. But how is addiction to painkillers and surgery that could possibly ruin your life even better?

3. Remember this is holistic healing. Chiropractors are trained to do a lot of things, but they are specialists. Do not confuse them for your family doctor or even healing in places other than the neck and back. Holistic healing is some of the best, and has been practiced for centuries.

4. Many insurance companies now work with chiropractors. Doesn't sound too risky if some of the big names such as Blue Cross Blue Shield and Cigna are cosigning for chiros.

5. Benjamin Franklin once said everything in moderation. This includes the chiropractor. People love the feeling afterwards, and want to continue going back. Don't overdo it, and continue to practice safe measures to keep yourself out of any doctor's office.

6. Finally, chiropractors overall have some of the highest customer ratings out of any medical specialists.

So before you slam an entire profession because certain ones that can pop backs claim to be chiros, do your research please. I did, the good and the bad. Based on what I've seen, you're much better off going then relying on pills and surgery in many cases.
