Imagine standing in an elevator with someone who has never been to a chiropractor.  You rub your neck and say, “Wow.  I need to get in to see my chiropractor for an appointment!”  The person next to you asks you why you would ever go to a chiropractor instead of a medical doctor.  What’s your answer?

If you’re already a chiropractic patient, you know the benefits of chiropractic treatment, but here’s a quick response when your friends and family want to know what your chiropractic doctor actually does:

Olathe Back Doctors Determine the Cause of Your Pain

We’ve all been to a medical doctor who performs a quick examination and then sends us home with a prescription.  This is simply not the case with a chiropractor.  Before treatment, back doctors perform a physical and neurological exam to determine the cause of the symptoms you’re experiencing.

Olathe Back Doctors Eliminate Pain

After the chiropractic doctor has uncovered what’s causing your pain, he or she will determine a treatment plan to eliminate that pain.  These chiropractic treatments provide pain relief in the form of a chiropractic adjustment and restore normal motion and function to the spine and joints.

Olathe Back Doctors Teach You How Prevent Pain

In addition to chiropractic adjustments and recommended physical therapy, your chiropractic doctor will also take the time to educate you about ways you can avoid repeat injuries and give you tools to help you manage a healthier lifestyle.

Bottom Line: Chiropractors Treat the Underlying Cause of Your Pain

It’s that simple.

By eliminating the cause, not just treating the symptom with pain medications, chiropractors can eliminate the pain permanently, and by educating patients about how to maintain a healthier lifestyle they can prevent future injuries.
