Chiropractic Adjustments

Are chiropractic adjustments safe?

July 07, 20252 min read

If you're considering chiropractic care, you've probably heard concerns from friends or family members about the safety of spinal adjustments. 


It's a common misconception that these treatments are inherently risky or dangerous. 


As your chiropractor, I want to address these concerns head-on and provide you with the facts.


Chiropractic adjustments performed by a licensed, experienced professional are EXTREMELY SAFE. 


Serious complications are exceedingly rare, with estimates as low as 1 in 2 million adjustments.


Here's a closer look at the safety of chiropractic care:


  • Chiropractors undergo extensive education and training, including hundreds of hours of hands-on practice, to master safe and effective adjustment techniques.


  • They utilize a gentle, controlled force when making adjustments - very different from the sudden, extreme movements people sometimes associate with "cracking" the neck or back.


  • Comprehensive patient assessments are conducted to identify any potential risk factors or contraindications prior to treatment.


  • Chiropractors closely monitor patients for any adverse reactions and are trained to respond appropriately if an issue arises.


  • High-quality research has consistently demonstrated the safety and efficacy of chiropractic care, particularly for common musculoskeletal conditions like back pain, neck pain, and headaches.


While no medical treatment is 100% risk-free…


…chiropractic adjustments are an extremely safe, non-invasive option, especially when compared to prescription medications or surgery. 


The benefits of improved mobility, reduced pain, and better overall function far outweigh the minimal risks.


My goal is to provide you with the highest quality, safest chiropractic care possible.
