Your Calgary Chiropractor

A "red flag" in chiropractic care is a warning sign that a chiropractor may be engaging in unsafe, unethical, or unprofessional practices. These red flags can include a lack of thorough examination, pushing for long-term contracts, or making unsubstantiated claims about curing unrelated health conditions. Recognizing these warning signs is crucial for ensuring you receive safe, effective, and ethical chiropractic care. 

While a chiropractor cannot physically "fix" or repair a slipped disc, they can help manage the pain and inflammation associated with it, and potentially improve spinal alignment. Chiropractic care focuses on non-surgical methods like spinal adjustments and manual therapy to relieve pressure on nerves and surrounding tissues.

There's no specific age at which someone should or shouldn't see a chiropractor. Chiropractic care is suitable for people of all ages, from infants to adults. The decision to seek chiropractic care depends more on health goals, such as pain management or overall wellness, rather than a person's age.
