Is chiropractic treatment safe?
Chiropractic care is commonly recognized as a safe, non-invasive method of treating neuromuscular and musculoskeletal disorders.
No health treatment is without danger. Chiropractic therapy is no exception. There have been reported (isolated) incidents that reflect the practitioner, not the profession.
As with all types of manual therapy performed by healthcare and medical practitioners, patients may experience moderate pain, stiffness, or discomfort after a session. Any concerns you may have should be expressed and resolved to your satisfaction.
Although some people experience minor discomfort or soreness following spinal manipulation, these symptoms typically subside within 24 hours. The popularity of chiropractic care reflects positive outcomes, where most patients leave their chiropractor’s clinic feeling better!
