Safety
In the words of a New Zealand government study, “Chiropractic is remarkably safe.”
Baseless Concern
Critics, sceptics and those who misunderstand chiropractic often use safety as a way to discourage people from considering chiropractic. Usually it concerns adjustments to the upper neck. These concerns are baseless.
Chiropractic Wantabes
There just aren’t a lot of recorded instances of chiropractors producing adverse reactions by neck adjustments. When there is a rare newsworthy event, it’s often been at the hands of other practitioners who have taken a weekend course or lack the formal education and training.
What’s Safe?
Virtually everything has risks associated with it. For example. Statistically, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever is considerably more dangerous. As is driving your car (accident), taking a shower (slip and fall) or eating at a new restuarant (food poisoning). Relax, knowing these are much riskier than receiving chiropractic care in our office!
