Quiz: Should You See Your Nashville Chiropractor?

Let's play a little game and see if you know when it's a good idea to schedule a visit to see your Nashville chiropractor, Dr. Sweeney. Ready to play?

True or false? It's good to see your Nashville chiropractor when you first start coming down with a cold.

• True. The sooner you can get in to see your chiropractor when you're coming down with a cold, the sooner your spine can be adjusted. Dr. Sweeney will most likely find that one of your cervical vertebrae are out of alignment. The adjustment will re-establish the connection between the nervous system and your body, especially your immune system.

True or False? When you have a hangnail, better rush in to see your Nashville chiropractor.

• False. You can take care of your hangnail on your own.

True or False? When your medical doctor tells you that you blew out a disc in your spine and you have to have surgery, you should not see your Nashville chiropractor.

• False. You'll need a second opinion, and Dr. Sweeney is available for this. Did you know one of his tools is a nonsurgical spinal decompression table which has helped many people with disc herniations? In many cases, the spinal decompression will help the disc heal so surgery is not needed.

True or False? When you've been in a car accident, your Nashville chiropractor won't be able to help you much.

• False. After a car accident, you may have whiplash, which is treatable by Dr. Sweeney. The results are quite successful, and you could end up saving yourself months of healing time when you get chiropractic care.

True or False? When you slip and fall at work, all the health experts you need to heal are ones your employer sends you to.

• False. A work injury needs to be assessed by someone who is outside of the work environment. Your Nashville chiropractor is qualified to work with your body for helping repair work injuries that qualify for workers compensation.
