p18 weekender january 18 1997 common misconceptions about chiropractic there are numerous misconceptions about chiropractic that are shared by many in our society today this brief excerpt on chiropractic will hopefully clear up some of these myths chiropractic has many years of research to support it unfortunately most people are unaware of the research that supports the existence of a scientific foundation for chiropractic a patients pain is virtually never caused by a pinched nerve and therefore chiropractic does not take pressure off pinched nerves in fact pinching a nerve or nerve compression causes numbness tingling and muscle weakness but no pain the term slipped disc is a misnomer in actuality a disc will either bulge herniate or rupture but this is very rare in fact a low back herniated disc causes less than 5 of low back buttock or leg pain the chiropractic adjustment restores joint motion relaxes tight muscles improves coordination inhibits pain and has many other beneficial effects but does not move bones back into place this information has been brought to you by moore chiropractic clinic please refer questionscomments to 6605 hwy 7e box 11 eastown
