Chiropractic Safety

Posted on November 28, 2011 by Align Medical & Chiropractic

Chiropractic is safe, so safe that a New Zealand government study concluded that chiropractic is “remarkably safe”. In fact, it has been shown that the danger of falling in the shower is far greater than the risk of being hurt at a chiropractic visit.

Critics and skeptics will argue that the neck adjustment used by chiropractors are the most dangerous. But again, there is no evidence to show that this is true- and plenty of evidence to the contrary. The only danger comes from a non-chiropractor performing an adjustment. Chiropractors go to many years of schooling, and are well versed in keeping their patients safe.

Of course, all health treatments from any kind of practitioner, including medical doctors, carry some kind of risk. Even still, chiropractic care is often a very safe method. The proof of this is in the insurance premiums paid by a variety of health care professionals. Many chiropractors pay a fraction of what medical doctors pay.
