Who comes to a chiropractor?

The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) has stated that approximately 3 out of 4 people of the US population seeks chiropractic care each year and numbers are starting to increase.  There is a satisfaction rate of 77% after getting treatments from a chiropractor.  The chiropractic profession has gain recognition because it is safe and effective.  Our San Carlos and San Francisco chiropractic offices perform gentle, holistic, drug free alternative care that teaches patients to live healthy lives. 


Why start with chiropractic instead of going to a medical doctor for pain?

According the the National Library of Medicine, chiropractors had higher success rates when dealing with pain patients.  So, instead of starting your health care with drugs or surgery which can be invasive and body altering,  why not try something affordable, gentle and natural which may help resolve the issue holistically?

If you're thinking about different options for a health problem, consider a less invasive alternative before committing to surgery or prescription drugs.  Prescription drugs can be helpful for the short term but are often times needed to take for a lifetime and can cause side effects.  Sometimes even worse than what your initial symptoms were before taking the drug.  Surgery can also have long recovery times with time loss at work and does not guarantee that the problem will disappear. 

Medical Doctors

Is Western Medicine bad?

 Of course not!  There is a need for mainstream medicine for emergencies or broken bones.  But there are many issues that can be naturally resolved with the right resources and little time.  Western medicine has saved countless lives with advanced surgical techniques and newly developed pharmaceutical drugs. 

However, this type of medical treatment is not the only option if you have pain or other chronic health issues. In fact, it may not even be the best option for the majority of people.   This is why there is need for alternative methods like Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Naturopaths and other healing modalities.  We are not all the same, and we do not all respond the same to all methods of treatments.  

So what is the problem with Western Medicine?  The problem  is that it normally treats "symptoms" (great article from FSU news here) but not the root or cause of a your health issue. Some surgeries can alleviate an issue but why did it occur in the first place?  That is what the real question!  In the case of drugs, they offer a temporary solution or require long term use which can cause secondary problems after prolonged use. 

Prescription drugs do start to wear off eventually.  They also put a lot of wear and tear on your internal organs like your heart, liver, kidney, pancreas, stomach and intestines. These areas then become worn down and tired leading to other symptoms.   Your gut is called your second brain and is crucial for health so it is always a great idea to keep this system working effectively.  

Surgery, like I mentioned before, is sometimes necessary but there is a high risk and can have complications. I myself have had the need for emergency surgery and am greatly appreciative that the option is out there but, relying on them as the first line of defense can be dangerous and in a lot of cases avoidable. 

A better and more sustainable option is to try natural, noninvasive alternatives that allow you to heal naturally by addressing the cause or root of the problem.  Once the cause is found and remedied, the body will do what it does...heal.  If the problem still persists then invasive methods should be investigated but as a last option, not the first option.  In a lot of cases, patients do the opposite and try invasive measures first instead of last and once you change your body, it is done and you can't go back.  Now your body has to compensate which puts more stress on other areas.  

What causes health problems?  

Painful health conditions don't appear out of nowhere.
