No. Chiropractors are primary health care practitioners and can provide chiropractic services independently. This means that you can set up an appointment with a chiropractor without first consulting your GP, although your Doctor may suggest that you see a chiropractor if he or she feels that chiropractic care may help you.
Chiropractic care is a safe, non-intrusive procedure that will not hurt you as long as it is provided by a certified and qualified chiropractor. Complications of chiropractic care are extremely rare.
Since you are a grownup I suppose that you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. The point is that many patients want to continue treatment because it feels so good to be out of pain. Their quality of life improves and they can get back to doing those things they used to do without pain. Isn’t that fantastic?
Yes, you can. It is an unfortunate fact that many people who have undergone back surgery see symptoms of their original condition (often in the form of pain or reduced flexibility) come back after a number of years. Chiropractic care is a safe and efficient way of alleviating the pain associated both with your back condition and the stress of back surgery.
Lynn Boelger, DC's certified and qualified Davenport chiropractors have been helping patients in the greater Davenport area for many years. We understand how frustrating your pain can be and strive to offer each and every one of our patients personalized and attentive care.
At Lynn Boelger, DC, we strive to not only treat but also educate our patients about pain and pain management. You may not know that your constant headaches are a symptom of a neck strain, or that your constant knee pain is caused by a misaligned back. Many of our patients come in complaining of pain in one part of their body to find out that it can be treated by working on a totally different area. A skilled chiropractor can even decrease or completely alleviate pain caused by arthritis or resulting from whiplash and other injuries.
