Chiropractic Myths, Headaches & Performance with Dr. Ryan Klepko

Is chiropractic really just about cracking backs—or does it go deeper? In Episode #139 of the Get Healthy Tampa Bay Podcast, Dr. Kerry Reller sits down with chiropractor Dr. Ryan Klepko to uncover what chiropractic care actually does for your nervous system, pain relief, and performance.”

Key Takeaways:

• Chiropractic = Nervous System First: Adjustments influence how the brain and body communicate, helping reduce pain and restore function.

• Beyond Back Pain: Chiropractic care supports athletes, TMJ and migraine patients, and even infants needing gentle adjustments.

• Safety Matters: Serious risks are rare; chiropractors use screening and tailored techniques to keep patients safe.

• Movement Is Medicine: Active recovery after adjustments leads to better outcomes than rest alone.

• Collaborative Care: Chiropractors can and do work alongside MDs, DOs, and PTs for the best patient results.

Conclusion:

Chiropractic care isn’t about “popping bones”—it’s about unlocking the body’s ability to heal, move, and perform at its best. Whether you’re an athlete aiming for peak performance, someone struggling with headaches or TMJ, or a parent exploring pediatric care, chiropractic offers safe, effective options rooted in the nervous system. As Dr. Klepko reminds us: movement is medicine.
