Hello, I'm Dr. Rory Dopps from Dopps Chiropractic in Overland Park, Kansas. Chiropractic care has become an increasingly popular form of alternative medicine, but there are still those who remain skeptical or uncertain about its benefits. In this blog, we'll explore some of the reasons why some people may be hesitant to try chiropractic care and address common concerns.


  1. Lack of understanding: One of the main reasons some individuals may not trust chiropractors is due to a lack of understanding about what chiropractic care entails and the scope of practice. Misconceptions about chiropractic techniques and the conditions they treat may lead people to be skeptical about the effectiveness of chiropractic care.

  2. Past negative experiences: Some people may have had negative experiences with a chiropractor in the past, leading them to be wary of seeking chiropractic care in the future. It's important to remember that, as with any profession, there can be variations in skill and patient care among practitioners.

  3. Controversial history: Chiropractic care has faced some controversy throughout its history, particularly in its early years when the profession was still establishing itself. While the field has come a long way and is now widely recognized as a legitimate healthcare option, some people may still harbor doubts stemming from its past.

  4. Preference for conventional medicine: Some individuals may prefer sticking to conventional medicine and may be resistant to trying alternative treatments like chiropractic care. This could be due to personal beliefs, trust in their primary healthcare provider, or concern about the scientific validity of alternative treatments.

  5. Fear of adjustments: For some, the idea of having their spine adjusted may cause anxiety or fear, particularly if they are unfamiliar with the process or have heard stories about potential risks. However, chiropractic care is generally considered safe, and chiropractors undergo extensive training to ensure they perform adjustments correctly and safely.


To address these concerns, it's essential to educate the public about the training, qualifications, and expertise that chiropractors possess, as well as the wide range of conditions they can effectively treat. Clear communication and transparency can help build trust and confidence in chiropractic care.
