Is Chiropractic Safe?

Chiropractic is the safest form of treatment as proven in numerous studies.

For example, a review by Paul Jaskoviak, D.C., D.A.C.A.N. reporting on the National College of Chiropractic Clinics experience during the 15 year period, concluded that 5 million chiropractic treatments were preformed without a single case of vertebral artery injury or stroke.

"There is no clinical or case controlled study that demonstrates or even implies that chiropractic spinal manipulation is unsafe in the treatment of lower back pain. Some medical treatments are unsafe and generate iatrogenic complications. Our reading of the literature suggests that chiropractic manipulation is safer than medical treatment of lower back pain."
-- The Manga Report

How does it work?

Research shows that spinal manipulation, performed by chiropractors, have superior results in:

• Reducing back pain
• Reducing neck pain
• Reducing headache pain
• Increasing range of movement in joints

There is an overwhelming body of evidence that chiropractic management of lower back pain is more cost-effective than medical management. This evidence includes studies showing lower chiropractic cost for the same diagnosis and episodic need for care.
