Is it true that Chiropractors do not prescribe medication or perform surgery?Yes. Chiropractors do not include medication or surgery in their treatment program. Chiropractors maintain that the body has a built-in capacity to restore health within certain limits, and base their care on this principle. Occasionally, the use of medication can interfere with the body's healing mechanisms, produce side effects, create a dependence and lead to drug-caused disease or complications. The first response in most illnesses and injuries should be conservative care. Chiropractic's principles make it possibly the safest and most appealing of the healing arts. Chiropractic 1st, Drugs 2nd and Surgery as a last resort is usually a safe, rational and conservative approach.
