Why should I go to Harwich Health Center for chiropractic care?

What sets Harwich Health apart is our unwavering commitment to personalized, holistic care that treats the whole person, not just symptoms. With that being said, Dr. Paul Anastasio is a brain based chiropractor that uses multiple practices such as exercise therapy, postural advice, and soft tissue techniques to help treat issues that you may have.

Is Chiropractic care safe?

There are many misconceptions online regarding the chiropractor office. Many believe that the treatments are not as effective and see little to no improvements or that it is unsafe.

Chiropractic care is a long term, gentler, and natural remedy versus prescribed painkillers or OTC medication, a short-term remedy when taken in large quantities, could potentially lead to liver damage and other adverse effects. 

Why do I need to keep going back? 

Same concept as when you go to the orthodontist for your braces to get your braces adjusted. Chiropractors want you to come back to get your spine to be reacquainted with its proper alignment/ position. After time, your spine will correct itself and there will be less nerve pinches! Less nerve pinches = less pain. Most people think going to the chiropractor’s is a one and done deal but it’s in fact, a gradual shift.

We highly recommend you come back frequently at the start to continue to correct the shift and allow your spine to get used to the position. Afterwards, the visits will start to decrease. 

Are Chiropractors “real” doctors?

Yes! Dr. Paul Anastasio has had over 4,000 hours of nationally accredited instruction and hands-on clinical work with supervision. He went to Trinity College for his undergraduate and received his doctorate from Palmer University.

What is that cracking or popping sound I hear when I get adjusted?

Don’t be afraid! That is NOT your bones cracking. That sound is actually a release of gas (mainly nitrogen and carbon dioxide) from the joint space, similar to “popping” your knuckles.
