The word Chiropractor as well as the Chiropractic industry has always faced an uphill battle. Critic and skeptics have always sought to demonize the practice for numerous reasons. Whatever there agenda may be, the Orange County Chiropractors of the Gateway Rehab & Wellness Center in Mission Viejo disagree and as a result have created a page within their website that dispels falsehoods, and separates myth from fact.
Perhaps the biggest myth surrounding Orange County Chiropractics is the one that states they are not real Doctors. The truth is that Chiropractors are indeed licensed health care providers. Those who wish to become a Chiropractor must attend school just as medical doctors do and after years of study and hard work they are granted a Doctorate of Chiropractic degree. Chiropractic school may not be as fierce but that's because aspiring Chiropractors have a very specific focus of study. Schooling for would be Orange County Chiropractors is extremely rigorous however and obtaining a degree is no easy task. Chiropractors are subject to all the same scrutinizing by the government and regulatory boards that medical doctors are. Furthermore programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and Workers' Compensations all support Chiropractic programs.
A second popular myth is that all medical doctors look down on Orange County Chiropractors. While it's true that many doctors and particularly the AMA at one time disapproved of Chiropractors this type of stance reached it peak in the 1940's and has declined sharply since the 70's. Since that time opinions have changed sharply and many doctors now recommend seeing an Orange County Chiropractor for things related to tissue damage and the back and neck. In fact many medical facilities now have Chiropractors on hand and visa versa so that patients have access to both types of care. In more recent times most medical doctors have gained a greater understanding of what an Orange County Chiropractor really does and what the field of Chiropractics is really all about.
While there are many myths surrounding Chiropractors these are two of the most prominent and misunderstood. In fact these two false perceptions keep many people who could benefit from the services of an Orange County Chiropractor away from places that offer such services. If you are one of these people or just have questions about Chiropractics, you may contact Dr. Raffa at the Orange County Chiropractors of the Gateway Rehab & Wellness Center.
