Is chiropractic treatment safe?
Yes. Chiropractic care is widely regarded as a safe and non-invasive way to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints. Although chiropractic has an excellent safety record, no health treatment is completely risk-free. However, the risks that are associated with chiropractic care are minimal and uncommon.
Occasionally, patients can experience mild soreness, stiffness, or aching following chiropractic treatment, similar to how one feels after exercising. According to current research, minor discomfort or soreness after spinal manipulation usually goes away within 24 hours. Most patients, however, leave their chiropractor’s office feeling immediate relief!
