Celebrating National Chiropractic Health Month!

October is National Chiropractic Health Month, which means it’s the perfect time to bust some myths, share a few facts, and highlight why chiropractic care is great for you. Whether you’re a longtime fan of adjustments or just chiropractic-curious, here are 10 fun and informative facts that might surprise you!

1. Chiropractic care is over 125 years old!

The first chiropractic adjustment was performed in 1895 by Daniel David Palmer. Chiropractors have been helping people feel and move better for well over a century. Some things never go out of style… like improving function and feeling better.

2. Chiropractors do way more than back pain.

Your spine affects your entire nervous system, so when it’s aligned, everything else runs more smoothly.

3. Adjustments don’t actually “crack” bones.

That popping sound you hear? It’s just gas bubbles releasing from the joint space like opening a can of soda.

4. Your body is the real healer.

Chiropractic care doesn’t force your body to heal — it helps remove interference so your body can do what it was designed to do.

5. Kids and seniors benefit too!

From playground tumbles to decades of wear and tear, everyone can use a little spinal TLC. Chiropractic adjustments are always tailored to the person, gentle for kids, low-force for seniors, and specific for everyone in between.

6. It’s not “once you start, you can’t stop.”

You don’t have to go forever, but most people want to keep coming because they feel the difference! Think of it like exercise or dental care: regular maintenance keeps you feeling your best.

7. Chiropractors are highly trained healthcare professionals.

A Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) typically completes 7–8 years of higher education, including clinical training in anatomy, physiology, neurology, and radiology. We’re spine nerds and proud of it!

8. Posture matters more than you think.

That “text neck” from consistently staring at your phone? It’s real, and it can cause headaches, stiffness, and even fatigue. A chiropractor can help you correct your posture and give tips to stay aligned no filter required.

9. Chiropractic care is drug-free and natural.

One of the biggest perks, no prescriptions or surgeries. Just gentle, hands-on care that supports your body’s natural ability to heal and function better.

10. It’s about wellness, not just pain relief.

Many people come in for pain but stay for wellness. Regular chiropractic care can help improve sleep, mobility, focus, and even your mood. Because when your spine’s happy, your whole body is happy.

In short: Chiropractic care helps you move better, feel better, and live better.

This National Chiropractic Health Month, take a moment to thank your spine for all it does and maybe show it some love with an adjustment.
