That could be dangerous for the patients. Yes it could. If patients minimized their conditions extensively enough to convince the chiropractor to believe them, the recommendations for care and follow through of care might be totally inadequate. For example, patients usually minimize their problem or condition with all health professionals, this type of minimization seems universal. In contrast, patients minimize in other ways with chiropractors.
People don t think of chiropractic care as mandatory.
There usually isn t a feeling of emergency or life or death situations when entering chiropractic offices. Therefore, many patients will further minimize the situation by taking the attitude of it s only a chiropractor, I m not dying or anything . Most patients realize that a medical doctor might have some significantly bad news pertaining to their health, whereas, most patients don t believe a chiropractor would have nearly the equivalent. This attitude further compounds the minimization problem for both patients and chiropractors. There are no chiropractic television series to highlight any drama.
