Welcome to Week 2 of our Myth-Busting Q&A Series✨

This week, we’re unpacking a belief that often keeps people from getting the care they want or need: “Once you start chiropractic care, you have to keep going forever.” The truth is, chiropractic care is entirely centered around your goals, preferences, and lifestyle.

✅ To kick things off, here’s your question of the week:



Q2: How long should someone continue chiropractic care?

A) Only until someone says they’re done
B) Forever, no matter what
C) As long as it supports their personal goals
D) Until they hear a loud “popping sound”

➡️ C - As long as it supports their personal goals

Do you have to see a chiropractor forever?
This myth has been around a long time — but it simply isn’t true. Chiropractic care is always your choice. Some people come in for short-term relief, while others return periodically because they feel their best with maintenance care. It’s similar to exercise, stretching, or massage, you choose how it fits into your lifestyle.

My role as your chiropractor is to educate, support, and guide you based on your goals. Whether you want relief, improved mobility, better posture, or general wellness, the decision to continue care is always yours. No pressure. No obligations. Just options.

Welcome to our Myth-Busting Q&A Series!

This week, we’re tackling one of the most common misconceptions out there: “Are chiropractic adjustments dangerous?” As we explore this topic, remember that chiropractic care is built on a foundation of safety, precision, and patient comfort. To get us started, here’s your first question of the week:



What is chiropractic care designed to prioritize above all else?

A) Speed
B) Safety and patient comfort
C) Loud popping sounds
D) Doing as many adjustments as possible
Correct Answer: B — Safety and patient comfort



Are chiropractic adjustments safe?
This is one of the most common concerns people share during their first visit. Chiropractors complete years of education, clinical training, and hands-on experience to ensure every adjustment is delivered safely and appropriately. At Summerside Chiropractic & Wellness, care is always tailored to your unique needs, including your comfort level, mobility, and health history.

Many patients are surprised by how gentle and relieving chiropractic care feels. Safety is always the top priority, and adjustments are performed with precision and intention. If you’ve been nervous about chiropractic care, this is a great week to ask questions, we’re here to help you feel informed and confident.

⭐ Chiropractic Myths: What You Need to Know

New Blog Now Live! 👉 Link in Bio

There’s a LOT of misinformation out there about chiropractic care — and this month, we’re breaking it down simply and clearly. 🙌

Each week we’ll be answering one of the most common chiropractic myths in our Q&A series to help you feel informed, confident, and empowered when it comes to your health.

Here’s a sneak peek from this week’s blog:

🔍 Myth #1: “Chiropractic adjustments are dangerous.”

Chiropractic care is designed with safety at the center. With years of training, thorough assessments, and techniques tailored to each individual, adjustments are gentle, precise, and safe.
(And yes — we keep research on hand if you want to dive deeper!)

🔍 Myth #2: “Once you start, you have to keep going forever.”

Not true. Chiropractic care is like exercise or dental checkups — you choose what works for your goals. Relief care, occasional tune-ups, wellness visits… you’re always in control.

🔍 Myth #3: “Chiropractors only help with back pain.”

Back discomfort is common, but chiropractic care also supports mobility, posture, tension, and overall physical function. The spine and nervous system work together — improving one often helps the other.

🔍 Myth #4: “Adjustments crack your bones.”

The “popping” sound is simply gas releasing from a joint (called cavitation). It’s normal — and not required for a successful adjustment.

🔍 Myth #5: “Chiropractic isn’t based on science.”

Modern chiropractic is evidence-informed, combining research, clinical experience, and personalized care to support your musculoskeletal and nervous system health.

✨ Chiropractic isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s a personalized, hands-on approach to helping you move better, feel better, and stay active at every age.

🌟 Our final Chiro Kids Month Q&A!

We are talking about the hidden connection between the spine and the nervous system 👇

What does the spine help protect in your body?

A) The nervous system — your body’s super communication highway
B) Your backpack full of homework
C) Your favorite video games

✅ Correct Answer: A

Your spine keeps your nervous system protected, allowing your brain and body to communicate smoothly — helping kids sleep better, focus more, and feel their best.

✨ A healthy spine = a happy, thriving kid!

The Hidden Connection ~ The spine protects the nervous system, the pathway that sends messages between the brain and the rest of the body. When the spine moves well, kids often feel more calm, focused, and energized.

🌙 Why Parents Love Chiropractic for Kids

Many parents are surprised to see improvements in:
• Sleep
• Focus
• Mood
• Overall wellbeing

By reducing tension and supporting the nervous system, gentle chiropractic adjustments can make a noticeable difference in how kids feel each day.

💚 What We See at Summerside Chiropractic

We see kids who are:
✔ Sleeping better
✔ Concentrating more at school
✔ Feeling happier and more balanced

Chiropractic care is about so much more than back pain, it’s about helping kids grow and thrive from the inside out.

🎉 Happy Chiro Kids Month!
Here’s to healthy spines, happy kids, and the small adjustments that make a big impact.

Yours in health,
Dr. Darrell Morin

✨ This Week’s Q&A with Dr. Morin ✨

How can chiropractic care help kids who play sports?

A —> It helps keep their bodies balanced, flexible, and ready to play 
B —> It teaches them how to score more goals 
c —> It gives them superpowers overnight 

Correct Answer: A!
✔️ It helps keep their bodies balanced, flexible, and ready to play!
Chiropractic helps kids move better, recover faster, and stay active doing what they love!

Keeping Active Kids in the Game 🏒🤸‍♂️⚽💃

Kids are made to move — and we love seeing them active! Whether they’re in hockey, gymnastics, soccer, or dance, sports help build confidence, strength, and discipline.
But all that practice can lead to repetitive strain, impacts, or imbalances (especially during growth spurts!). That’s where chiropractic comes in:

💪 Supports growing bodies
⚖️ Keeps spines + joints moving properly
🤕 Reduces risk of injury
🏃‍♀️ Improves flexibility + recovery
✨ Helps kids feel and move their best

Many parents tell us their kids move with more ease after adjustments — and young athletes often say they just feel better and even perform better.

Keeping kids active, balanced, and doing what they love most: playing hard and having fun.

This Week Dr. Morin looks at helping Kids Stand Tall in a Tech-Heavy World! 💻 📱

✨Backpacks, Screens, and Posture✨

Question: What’s one way kids can help keep their posture healthy?

1️⃣ Carry the biggest backpack they can find
2️⃣ Take movement breaks and “look up” from screens
3️⃣ Slouch on the couch all afternoon

Correct Answer: 2️⃣ —> Taking breaks, keeping backpacks light, and looking up from screens help kids stand tall and feel great!

Between heavy backpacks and long hours of screen time, today’s kids face more posture challenges than ever before. Leaning over tablets or carrying overloaded bags can cause tension, rounded shoulders, and even headaches.

Chiropractic care helps counteract these daily stresses by restoring balance and mobility to the spine. Regular check-ins can prevent small posture issues from becoming bigger problems down the road.

Parents can also support good posture at home:

➡️ Keep backpacks at 10–15% of body weight
➡️ Encourage kids to take movement breaks every 30 minutes
➡️ Remind them to “look up” both literally and figuratively!

Healthy posture helps kids breathe better, move easier, and feel more confident. Chiropractic care is a natural way to support growing spines in this modern, tech-filled world. 💚

🌿 This Week’s Q&A: Supporting Healthy Growth from the Inside Out! 🌿

Question: Why do kids sometimes visit the chiropractor?
1️⃣ To make sure their spines are growing and moving the right way
2️⃣ To get taller overnight
3️⃣ To learn how to juggle soccer balls

✅ Correct Answer: #1!
Chiropractic helps kids’ spines stay healthy and aligned so their bodies can grow strong and move easily.

From first steps to chasing soccer balls, kids’ bodies are in constant motion — and constant growth! Every fall, stretch, and growth spurt puts new demands on their developing spines.

✨ Gentle chiropractic adjustments help ensure proper movement and alignment, supporting:
• Healthy posture
• Better mobility
• Strong nervous system function

When the spine moves as it should, kids often sleep better, have more energy, and experience fewer growing pains. Chiropractic care helps kids feel and function at their best — so they can grow into their full potential. 💪

At Summerside Chiropractic, Dr. Morin uses gentle, age-appropriate techniques that are safe, comfortable, and kid-approved. Parents love seeing their kids thrive! 💚

Yours in Health,
Dr. Darrell Morin
