Beware of "Subluxation"

By Kevin O'Hara D.C

What is a subluxation? Subluxation is the misalignment of articular bones. Spine, Elbows, Shoulders, Feet, Knees, anything with a joint.  Some Chiropractors would have you believe that every subluxation is a matter of life of death. That is just not true. They are trying to scare you into water front property in the desert. These people are using fear based sales tactics to get the almighty dollar. It annoys me to no end and gives honest, hardworking Chiropractors a very bad name. I became a Doctor to help people, not become a millionaire, I can't say the same for some of my colleagues (I hesitate to call them that because I don't associate with crooks). If someone tells you you need 50 adjustments I would question their motivations. Of course there are those individuals who do indeed need extended care and maintenance care to keep a handle on their quality of life.  But right off the bat 50 adjustments? How the heck do they know how you will respond to the first adjustment? My mantra is Find it, Fix it and Leave it Alone. There is such a thing as being OVER adjusted. So if you think your being scammed you might be. Want a second opinion? Send me a note, I will tell you what I think.
