There are numerous myths surrounding the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care. This has led to people being unsure whether chiropractic care in Suwanee is the right treatment for their pain and discomfort. Dr. Thomas Caputo and the team here at Caputo Chiropractic Center want to offer you a look at the truth behind some of the most common myths we hear:

Myth: Chiropractors Only Treat Back Pain

If it’s connected to your spine in some way, Dr. Caputo can help eliminate your pain. Check out the comprehensive list of health conditions we can treat.

Myth: Chiropractors Aren’t Real Doctors

It takes between six and eight years of college to become a chiropractor. Dr. Caputo completed his undergraduate degree at Bergen College in New Jersey in 1981, and earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Life Chiropractic College of Marietta, GA in 1986, passing the board exam that same year. He completed a secondary board certification in 1987.

Myth: Chiropractic Adjustments Are Dangerous

Adjustments are safe for everyone from newborns to the elderly. There are various techniques and methods to ensure safety. Dr. Caputo won’t give patients an adjustment until after they’ve been evaluated and both he and the patient agree it’s the best way to help them get out of pain fast.

Myth: Chiropractic Adjustments Are Painful

Dr. Caputo strives to provide gentle yet effective adjustments. You should leave the office feeling better than when you came in. Your adjustments are customized to meet your unique pain relief needs, and you shouldn’t experience any pain.

Myth: Chiropractic Care Is Expensive

Caputo Chiropractic Center is in network with a lot of insurance companies, making chiropractic care highly affordable. We also offer cash options for those without insurance. We want chiropractic to be available to everyone.
