October is Chiropractic Awareness Month: Busting Myths & Building Better Health

October is Chiropractic Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to shine a light on the benefits of chiropractic care, clarify common misconceptions, and share practical ways to support your spine and overall wellness.


Myth #1: Chiropractic is Only for Back Pain

While many people first visit a chiropractor for back or neck pain, chiropractic care goes far beyond pain relief. Adjustments help restore proper movement to the spine and joints, improving posture, mobility, and nervous system function. In fact, research shows spinal manipulation can benefit conditions such as low back pain, neck pain, and even headaches .


Myth #2: Chiropractic Adjustments Are Unsafe

Some worry about the safety of chiropractic adjustments. The truth is that spinal manipulation is considered a safe, evidence-based treatment for spine-related conditions, with risk levels comparable to — or lower than — many conventional treatments . Millions of patients receive chiropractic care every year with excellent safety outcomes.

Did You Know? Posture and Spine Health

Poor posture can put the same stress on your spine as carrying a 20–30 lb backpack every day. Over time, this stress contributes to pain, stiffness, fatigue, and even changes in mood and energy. Since your spine houses your nervous system, misalignments may interfere with communication between your brain and body — which explains why patients often notice improvements in focus, stress levels, and overall well-being after care.


Supporting Your Health Beyond the Adjustment

Chiropractic care works best when paired with lifestyle strategies. This month, we’re also highlighting supplements that support spine and whole-body health:

  • CurcuPlex-95: A highly bioavailable curcumin extract that helps manage inflammation and supports joint comfort .

  • Omega MonoPure: A fish oil with 3× better absorption, shown to support cardiovascular, brain, and joint health .

  • OptiMag Neuro: A unique magnesium blend that crosses the blood-brain barrier to promote relaxation, sleep, and cognitive clarity .
