Myth #2: Chiropractic adjustments are dangerous

Myth #2: Chiropractic adjustments are dangerous.

Danger lurks around every corner. Simply walking out the door in the morning invites the risk of danger. While we cannot escape it, we can minimize our risk of injury through proper training, awareness, plus other control measures. Fire, driving, and alcohol are dangerous; however, with control and knowledge we can make these things safer. For example, fire is a danger, but we can use things like a fire pit to control the flames. Driving a car can be dangerous. But we need to earn a license first to drive. Alcohol is dangerous, but using moderation and a designated driver minimizes that danger. 

On the surface, we can say that many things are dangerous. But usually because they are unfamiliar to us. Chiropractic care is one of those things. Many people believe that these doctors only “crack” backs. At face value, that sounds dangerous, yet this misconception couldn’t be further from the truth.

The reality is that chiropractic adjustments are extremely safe. In fact, RAND Corporation, a nonprofit research organization in the U.S. developed to keep the world safe and healthy, conducted a study to determine the safety of these adjustments. The study found that the risk of serious complications is only one in a million. This risk is smaller than the odds of you being struck by lightning, which coincidentally is 1 in 700,000.

Misunderstanding breeds falsehoods. History tells us that. It is no different for the field of chiropractic. The truth is that chiropractic treatment is one of the safest, drug-free, and non-invasive therapies available for neuromusculoskeletal system (nerves, muscles, bones). It is also more cost-effective, too. Why? Because the root cause is identified and corrected, rather than just addressing the symptoms. 

Riding a bike, driving a car, playing a sport, eating fast food are all dangerous, yet, we still do it. We assume the risk, thinking that nothing will happen to us. The risk of suffering from a complication with a chiropractic adjustment is small compared to the risk of being injured while driving or even on the job. Yet we do them every day.
It’s time to correct the myth that chiropractic adjustments are dangerous. The people who believe this are missing out on a healthcare option that can improve their quality of life and eliminate pain, once and for all.

Knowledge has the power to transform the world and you. Seek to debunk myths.

Myth #1: Seeing a Chiropractor is Expensive

By Leave a Comment

Expensive is a relative term. What is considered expensive for one person may not be for another. It may have nothing to do cost, but rather value. Take cars, for example. Many people chose to purchase a Lexus or a Mercedes because of the perceived quality and prestige behind the brand. These people feel that the expense involved is far worth it. The same can be said about appliances, clothing, furniture, vacations, and education.

Saying something is expensive can also be used as an excuse, too. Where is the line of demarcation dividing what is expensive and what is not for a person?  Perhaps the line moves depending on what the item is. As for chiropractic care, saying that it is expensive is highly subjective. First, is there a price tag you would put on good health? What about a price tag to get that good health back? The amount of money spent on medications for bad health is astounding. In fact, in the U.S. alone the pharmaceutical industry is valued at over 413 billion dollars (2014). Many would say that this is not health care, but disease care.

Chiropractic care should be viewed under the same light as dental care – with the goal being preventative care. You visit the dentist twice a year to prevent getting a cavity. If you choose to not have regular check ups, what happens to your oral health? It begins to decline, resulting in cavities and gum disease, not to mention tooth decay. Later in life, these same people need to invest in crowns, caps, and dentures. All expensive procedures, which could have been prevented with regular dental visits.

The reality is that chiropractic care is not any more expensive than other doctor care. Most insurance allow for chiropractic care, even if it’s not 100% coverage. But the most important fact with chiropractic care is the end goal. Ultimately, a chiropractor’s goal is to effectively address the symptoms you are experiencing by correcting the root cause. This process brings you out of pain and discomfort and into wellness and improved health going forward. Similar to regular dental visits. Being proactive with your health through chiropractic care is the most cost effective health care you can find.

How is cost effective, proactive, and wellness equated to expensive? It all boils down to perspective.

Top Chiropractic Myths Debunked

By Leave a Comment

Chiropractic myths permeate our society. In fact, this is the primary reason why a majority of adults have not seen a chiropractor. Unfortunately, the facts do not support these objections. Rather than search for the truth, many choose to follow a path created by big business because seeing is believing. That is not to say that what is advertised does not work. It’s quite the opposite actually. However, just because something works does that also mean it is the best option? Or the only option for that matter?

Advertising creates the visibility a business wants to generate revenue. Why do you think we eagerly await those Super Bowl ads every year? But, did you know that those commercials cost $5 million in 2017? What type of business can afford this huge investment? The question we need to ask ourselves is this, does a high level of visibility automatically give a business credibility?  The answer should be no. Otherwise, why support small, local businesses.

Chiropractic, as a business, does not have the budget to advertise at the level that Wendy’s, Coca Cola, KFC, and Mars did this year. But does this level of visibility mean these products are good for our health? One might argue that they have contributed to our society’s obesity epidemic.

We must not settle for what information is pushed at us either from television, print, radio, or online. That information was paid to be put in front of us. Rather than accept things at face value, we should choose to advocate for ourselves. Meaning, we should dig deeper and learn what can about ALL options that are available to us. Then make an informed decision about what is BEST for us. Chiropractic care falls in this category, which is why several myths exist that cause people to miss out on this highly effective and beneficial health care.

Below are the 8 top chiropractic myths that exist today:

  1. Seeing a chiropractor is expensive.
  2. Chiropractic adjustments are dangerous.
  3. Chiropractic care is only for adults.
  4. Chiropractors are not real doctors.
  5. Once you start seeing a chiropractor you can never stop.
  6. Chiropractic adjustments hurt.
  7. Chiropractors only treat back pain.
  8. Chiropractic care doesn’t work.

The next 8 blog posts will focus on one myth at a time, with the purpose of proving them to be incorrect.

 

Eliminate Your Pain and Discomfort

By Leave a Comment

We are creatures of habit. Whether it’s a restaurant we like to frequent, coffee made a certain way, or sleeping on a particular side of the bed. We know what we like. In fact, we like our routines and habits so much that we continue to do them even when we are experiencing pain or other discomfort. Typically, rationalizing to ourselves that “it isn’t that bad” or “I’m sure it will feel better in the morning.” Sometimes we even resort to the internet, looking for reasons why we are feeling the way we are. Again, rationalizing that we can “self treat” regardless what it is. But at what point do the scales tip and we realize we need to seek professional help?

While people have different pain thresholds, pain alone can be enough to cause a person to get medical care. However, many times it isn’t the pain that makes this happen. It boils down to what that person is missing out on, or giving up, that they then decide to finally do something about their problem. For example, a golfer enjoys a weekly round with his buddies. He has been dealing with shoulder discomfort for a while, yet it isn’t bad enough to affect his game. However, gradually the discomfort turned to pain and his golf swing is way off. It is Steve’s frustration that leds him to seek out a chiropractor, not the discomfort and pain.

At Damron Chiropractic & Wellness, we see other similar scenarios with our patients. It is not the pain per se that brings them to us, rather what the pain is preventing them from doing or doing well.

  • Competitive dancing
  • Running
  • Playing with their grandchildren
  • Work
  • Pitching
  • Entertaining their family
  • Traveling
  • Sleeping

The list could go on and on. We do not need to wait for this level of severity before we see a chiropractor. Remaining aware of how our body feels every day will help to spare us lost time doing what we love. Similar to how seeing a dentist every six months will help to prevent cavities. Regular visits to a chiropractor will help to keep our body functioning as it should. We are only given so many days in our life. Why waste any of them not feeling our best, especially when we can do something about preventing it today?

Advertising Unhealthy Lifestyles

By Leave a Comment

We will never live in a world without commercials. It would be nice, but commercials pay for the programming we watch and listen to on the radio. Companies that use this form of advertising for their product or service are hoping to attract more business. Regulations are in place to ensure that what is advertised is safe; however, there are no regulations in place to ensure that the product is not unhealthy. We must decide that for ourselves.

Recently, I heard a radio ad for life insurance asking if I enjoyed eating wings, mashed potatoes and gravy. If I was then this life insurance was for me. I could get the coverage I wanted for my family, yet still enjoy the lifestyle I wanted. As an added bonus I could also receive the company’s recipe for fried chicken! I kept waiting for the punch line, thinking it was obviously a joke, but none came. Here is a company leveraging American’s unhealthy lifestyle and increasing obesity rates to benefit their bottom-line. Is it safe? Yes. Is this product in our best interest? No.

We must be smarter than the companies that are advertising to us. Making assumptions that simply because the product or service is advertised it is in our best interest. This situation has contributed to the health crisis we face today from obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and a sedentary lifestyle. Instead, most of us chose the path of least resistance, allowing companies to make millions on unhealthy choices and the consequences that follow. Perhaps it’s time to hold ourselves accountable and change this trend.

Think about the various commercials and advertisements you see and hear each day. What comes to mind? Cars, pharmaceuticals, weight loss products, chain restaurants, colas. Only those companies with the highest revenue can afford to invest in this form of marketing. Does this mean these products are safe? Not necessarily. Does this mean these products are in our best interest? Not necessarily. Advertising does not equal best or ideal. It only means the company had enough money to invest, whether or not the product is good.

Think about all the healthy things that are not advertised from organic produce, water, cage-free eggs, toxin-free cleaning products, and even chiropractic care. Should the benefits be discounted due to lack of high profile advertising? Should we let ourselves be swayed by what we see on television and hear on the radio? At what point do we assume responsibility for ourselves and our health?

Standards of Care in Chiropractic

By Leave a Comment

standard of care

Standard, defined as “a level of quality or attainment.” Synonyms for the word standard are quality, guideline, norm, and ideal. Our daily life involves many standards, or guidelines, of care including:

  • the food pyramid
  • an academic grading scale
  • recommended daily physical activity
  • ideal weight
  • adequate sleep
  • water intake
  • alcohol consumption
  • medical check-ups

Research helps to define the standards we live by today. For example, the surgeon general determined after conclusive research that smoking was bad for your health, specifically linked to lung cancer. Therefore, not smoking is a standard for optimal health just as 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week is the standard. Having guidelines helps us to live as healthy as possible. In the field of chiropractic, there is also a standard of care, too.

One of the most popular myths about chiropractors is that you need to keep going once you start. Yet there is some truth to this myth because of the physicality of the adjustment. The doctor is training the body, much like we do when we exercise. Stopping the adjustments is similar to stopping exercising. We all know what happens when we stop working out. Our weight starts to creep up. We lose muscle mass. Our energy level declines. Chiropractic adjustments keeps our body in alignment so it can function as it is intended to. Without this type of care, daily life negatively impacts our body. Aches and pains return.

Ironically, despite knowing about guidelines and recommendations society tells us that we don’t always follow them. If we did, we would not have an obesity epidemic, smoking would cease, and every student would receive an A. Free will gives us the choice and all too often we choose poorly. The good news however is that we can choose differently which can reverse unhealthy trends.

Standards of care exist chiropractic, as well. This standard is one adjustment per week as it is meant to be proactive. Just like visiting your dentist every 6 months to prevent cavities. Visiting the chiropractor keeps the body functioning as it should rather than letting the daily wear and tear of life compromise it. And yes, that is exactly what life does. We go through each day incurring a series of micro-traumas from falling, playing a sport, working out, and poor posture. Yet a simple and painless adjustment once a week and significantly offset this.

The choice is ultimately ours to make. And while knowledge is power, it really only is when we do something with it.

 

Pain Relief

By 1 Comment

In a quest to find pain relief, many people will try just about anything. According to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, 100 million American suffer from chronic pain. This number is staggering as compared to cancer survivors which affects 11.9 million Americans. New products arrive on the market every day designed to provide pain relief and this industry is expected to double by 2023. Products are advertised are all forms of media, promising results. Yet, if you look at the product reviews, you will find many users that are unsatisfied and still seeking pain relief.

Sometimes the solutions we are looking for are right under our noses. However, because of misconceptions or lack of knowledge we don’t see it, especially if we are living in pain. We want the pain to stop as fast as possible, so we gravitate what appears to be known and true. Does the fact that a product is advertised in a magazine or on television make it the answer we are looking for? Is the credibility of the product higher in our minds because it has been showcased to us? Should we skip doing our own research because we take the advertisements at face value?

Our most treasured asset is our health. Without it, we have nothing. Living in pain is not something anyone wants to do, but life happens. When it does, remember that there is no “magic bullet” that will make the pain go away forever. Yes, there are medications to take to dull the pain, or temporarily relieve it, but it is still there. What we really want is to find out what is causing it and stop it. Preferably without causing any more additional pain like with surgery, right?

An often overlooked solution lies within chiropractic care. There is a lot of misconceptions that permeate our society regarding this holistic approach to good health. Rarely do you see commercials about chiropractic, let alone other advertising. Why? Because advertising cost a lot of money. Does the fact that something is not advertised make it less credible or not true? No, it doesn’t.

Invest in your health. Don’t wait for the pain to find you first. You can save a lot of money by not seeking a solution from what appears to be the most visible. Do your own research both online and on social media. Save yourself from the mistakes that come with assumptions. There are solutions to be found with a chiropractor. Solutions that are safe, holistic, and proven. But most of all, solutions that address the cause of the pain. Not just the symptom of pain.

Replacing One Bad Habit With Another

By Leave a Comment

It is not uncommon for us to substitute one vice for another, thinking we are choosing the lesser of two evils. Take smoking, for example. With the introduction of the e-cigarette in 2004, smokers who were trying to quit had a new option. This new option gives them the best of both worlds, the sensation and effects of smoking without the harmful side effects. Or do they, because there still exists a habit?

In May of 2016, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced it would begin extending its authority to include this previously unregulated market. This came about in large part due to the efforts of the American Lung Association. E-cigarettes still contain many of the cancer causing chemicals regular cigarettes do, although in smaller numbers. Carcinogens like formaldehyde and benzine. In addition, e-cigarettes give users the impression that it is safer than smoking. Let’s look at the facts:

  • Almost all e-cigarettes contain nicotine, a highly addictive substance.
  • Nicotine is harmful to the developing fetus both for the developing brain and lung functions.
  • Low birth weights and preterm births have been associated to nicotine exposure.
  • Adolescent brain development is at risk with nicotine, especially with memory and attention.
  • There are many unknown chemical in e-cigarettes, which alone is very concerning.
  • Flavoring/taste are one of the major reasons adolescents try e-cigarettes for the first time.
  • The Centers for Disease Control has reported an alarming increase in the number of e-cigarette exposure poisonings.
  • Second-hand emissions contain carcinogens formaldehyde, benzine, plus nitrosamines.
  • No one knows the long-term effects of e-cigarettes on our health.

There is no denying that smoking is bad on our health, it is the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. So, does replacing smoking with e-cigarettes really a solution? Or is it merely a band-aid to cover up the addiction? Wellness is a state of mind where a bad habit is broken, not replaced by another one. A bad habit can run the gamut from smoking, to overeating, a sedentary lifestyle, excessive alcohol consumption, and diet sodas. Truly changing means being honest with ourselves and what we are doing to our body. The field of chiropractic care takes that honest approach to health, without depending on medications or invasive procedures to cover up the problem. A chiropractor is your wellness partners for life by helping you to eliminate those bad habits and thrive.

Avoid the “Perfect Storm” of Disease-Care

By Leave a Comment

In 2000, George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg starred in the movie “The Perfect Storm”. It is based on the true story of a commercial fishing vessel lost at sea during a storm. This storm was exceedingly rare due to the combination of adverse weather factors. In the chiropractic world, we see a lot of people who got caught in a perfect storm. Negative and unpredictable factors affect their lives in such a way that their quality of life is significantly diminished. Factors such as:

  • a sedentary lifestyle
  • car accident
  • work related injury
  • smoking
  • poor diet
  • diabetes
  • obesity
  • chronic pain

Some factors can be self-made, others can be simply bad luck or hereditary. Either way, these factors can create a perfect storm that equates to illness. At Damron Chiropractic & Wellness our goal is wellness for life. We take a person’s perfect storm and work with them utilizing chiropractic, rehabilitation, massage and nutrition.

We hear a lot about disease care with people suffering from chronic conditions. Rarely is there any press on wellness. Wellness means that a person is feeling good and looking good. In our world, being well means the perfect storm is over and that person can get back to doing what they love with a higher quality of life.

Life can give us lemons, and lots of them. But we do have a choice. We can choose to settle for what life hands us or decide to seek help. This does not mean using a band-aid approach either, as tempting as that might be. Rather, it means finding a resolution once and for all by ignoring disease-care. Disease-care actually cares for the disease and not finding out what is causing it in the first place. The presenting symptoms may appear to be coming from the leg, but it is really nerve interference in the spine. Treating the leg pain with disease-care does not address the nerve interference in the spine. Consequently, the leg pain will return. That is not wellness.

If you suspect a perfect storm in your life there is a solution. Life happens, but wellness does not, unless you decide to seek it out.

Is Weight Holding You Back?

By Leave a Comment

Quality of life not only affects the individual but also those around them as well. Take the reality show My 600-lb. Life. While the show centers around the person with the weight problem, the family is also involved. Children, spouses, significant others, parents. The problem affects them, too, because the family unit is tied to the care of the obese loved one. While this is an extreme example, it reveals the ripple effect of a chronic condition on the person themselves  to those who surround them.

This is a different perspective on resolutions as we approach the new year. Typically we hear others say they want to lose weight or get in shape or take better care of themselves. Reality tells us that most resolutions fail. But maybe they wouldn’t if we upped the ante. If our success or failure at living better only seems to affect ourselves, then win or lose, we only have ourselves to blame. However, if our success or failure affects our children, spouse, or family, then that’s a different story altogether, isn’t it? We hurt others by failing to live a healthier life. It could be the extra weight that prevents us from being active or chronic pain that limits our mobility. Living on the sidelines as our family plays in the game of life. Don’t we owe it to them to be the best version of ourselves?

Whether it’s extra weight, pain, weakness, or an old injury that is holding us back, chiropractic care can help. There is a root cause to your problem. Drop the excuses, look around you and ask yourself these questions:

  • “How is my quality of life affecting those around me?”
  • “Have I really tried everything in my power to improve my situation?”
  • “What am I afraid of?”
  • “Am I really living my best life?”

Honest answers is the goal, because anything less is a disservice to you and those who love you. Resolve to change your situation in the new year rather than make excuses. You can enjoy the quality of life you deserve by making that resolution.

Amy Faris, Patient Care Coordinator

Why DCWProfessional Experience Personal Information
After moving to Ohio in 2010, I was in need of some relief from minor pain associated with working in customer service fields for 15 years. I was interested in seeking alternative forms of therapy and found a chiropractor in our small town. After going for a few visits, the therapy seemed somewhat outdated compared to what I had researched. In talking with my husband, he remembered that he knew someone who was a chiropractor. After just a few visits with Dr. Damron, I definitely noticed a difference in his techniques and style. It was nice to see results and feel like I was being listened to as a patient, not just heard…something you don’t always feel with doctors. After being a patient for several years, the opportunity came about to join the DCW team. It would be something different from what I had done in my past, however I knew my passion for working with people would translate well into helping patients receive the best care possible. I believed in the mission of DCW as a patient, and I am excited to be part of living that mission every day. 
 I am originally from St. Louis, MO. I graduated from the University of Missouri – Columbia with a degree in Secondary Education – Language Arts. I worked in restaurant/catering management for several years before starting a career in retail management and training.
In that position, I met my husband, Matt, who is from Wilmington, OH. After we got married in 2010, I moved to Wilmington. Realizing retail wasn’t where my heart was any longer, I began working as a substitute teacher in the Clinton County area. Matt and I live in Wilmington with our 6 year old German Shepard, Dale. I enjoy camping, boating, riding 4-wheelers, and spending time with family and friends. I love St. Louis Cardinals baseball and am a recently converted Cincinnati Bengals fan.
