October is National Chiropractic Health Month! We would like to encourage all consumers to think “Conservative Care First!” when it comes to their health care, especially when pain is the issue.

For many years, patients would find relief through conservative forms of health care such as chiropractic services only after unsuccessfully trying a range of other, more complex and riskier treatments. Today, that approach has been reversed. Today’s health-conscious patients realize and medical research and guidelines support the idea of exhausting conservative approaches to pain management and other conditions before moving on to other treatments.

“Chiropractic services” refers to manual manipulation and other non-invasive therapies that promote healing. Doctors of chiropractic (DCs) are educated in nationally accredited, four-year doctoral graduate school programs, with the average chiropractic program equivalent in classroom hours to medical programs. So this National Chiropractic Health Month, talk to a DC about choosing conservative care first!
