Is Chiropractic Safe?
Because many people are unfamiliar with chiropractic care, occasionally some question the safety of chiropractic treatment.Chiropractic is recognized as one of the safest types of health care in the world. Numerous studies, including those funded by governments, universities and nonprofit research institutions, have proven it to be a successful primary therapy for neuromusculoskeletal conditions -- a therapy that is safer, in fact, than most medical procedures used to treat the same conditions. Chiropractic is also widely used as a complementary mode of care for a variety of other conditions and diseases and to promote overall health and well-being.
Additionally, we can look to the malpractice insurance companies to evaluate how safe chiropractic treatment is. Medical doctors in family practice pay 15-30 times more for malpractice insurance coverage than chiropractors practicing in the same area.
