Chiropractic Care and Safety: What's the Real Deal?

By Genevieve Cunningham

Chiropractic care has been a hot topic as of late, and it seems as though people are divided on two sides. You have those who swear by its effectiveness and the benefits that it brings, and you have those who swear by its dangers. With two completely different sides, it can be tough to know which side to join. In order to determine which side of the coin you should put your faith into, check out this quick information guide regarding the safety of chiropractic care.

Are There Risks?

Well of course there are risks, but they're minor. It’s important to state that there are absolutely risks involved with any medical treatment. Have you ever seen a commercial for medication? The list of side effects is often longer and sometimes more serious than the condition that it is meant to treat. Fortunately the risk of chiropractic care is generally a lot smaller. In fact, according to the American Chiropractic Association, serious injury resulting from upper neck manipulation is only about 1 in over 5 million. Those are incredible odds considering the risk for many mainstream medical procedures is a lot higher.

Is It Supposed to Hurt? How Can Pain Be Safe?

Honestly, chiropractic care very rarely causes pain. In fact, many people report the opposite. They claim that at least mild relief occurs quickly after adjustments take place. If you experience any pain, it is usually in the form of soreness after your treatment. This is much like the soreness you get after a deep massage and is rarely something to worry about. If you have questions, you can always ask your chiropractor what to expect and when to report pain afterward.

Is There Anyone That Should Avoid Care?

If your general practitioner advises against care, you should always listen to your doctor. If not, chiropractic care is safe for everyone. Babies, pregnant women, the elderly, and most in the general population may get some incredible benefits from care. Still feeling scared? Go to the clinic and just ask! A professional chiropractor will be happy to answer any questions or concerns that you have. Your comfort level is important for quality care.
