The Benefits of Seeing a Chiropractor Many people seek the benefits of chiropractic care because of a physical symptom that will not go away, such as neck or back pain. Doctors of chiropractic are skilled at relieving these and many other symptoms, yet the real benefit of seeing a chiropractor comes from our focus on wellness instead of sickness. Chiropractors are true holistic health care practitioners. Unlike medical doctors who focus on specific diseases or pathologies, chiropractors employ natural methods that support whole-body healing. The goal of chiropractic treatment is to leverage and enhance your own body's ability to mend itself, which is ultimately the best way to become healthy. Unfortunately most medical treatments today tend to bypass natural methods of healing, and employ more expedient (and higher risk) methods such as medications and surgery. Although these methods can be necessary to treat major trauma and disease, drugs and surgery tend to be overused as a first response. |
