If you're nervous about chiropractic — read this first.
Three objections show up in almost every new patient conversation. Dr. Mac and Dr. Abi have heard them all.
Here is the honest answer to each.
"Chiropractors cause strokes." Vertebral artery dissection from cervical manipulation is
rare — estimated at roughly 1 in 1–5 million cervical manipulations. At Prime Spine & Wellness, every
patient is screened for cervical risk factors before any neck adjustment. You are told what will happen and
can decline at any time. Low-force alternatives (Activator method, drop-table, mobilization) are always on
the table.
"It's pseudoscience." The NIH, the American Chiropractic Association, and Mayo Clinic all
recognize spinal manipulation as a first-line, evidence-supported treatment for mechanical low back pain. 35
million Americans use chiropractic care annually. Named techniques — Cox flexion-distraction, Gonstead,
Activator, spinal decompression — have clinical literature behind them.
"They'll sign me up for a $4,500 package." We won't. Your care plan comes after your
diagnosis, not before it. Transparent pricing — all costs are discussed upfront. If you don't need ongoing
care, we'll tell you. If we can't help you, we'll refer you to someone who can.
