Yes, chiropractic is safe. All chiropractors should do a thorough assessment before performing any treatment. This ensures that any red flag conditions have been ruled out that would maybe higher risk. At our office, we go through a movement assessment, neurological exam, and then perform orthopedic exams before providing any treatment. We also usually prescribe one exercise the first visit as a baseline before we start actual treatment the next visit.
Chiropractic treatments are very safe. Chiropractors take a complete history and do a a physical assessment prior to adjusting, Many also take x-rays first. In addition there are many adjusting techniques, some of which are very gentle and appropriate for all ages and conditions.
Most likely, yes! For most people, chiropractic care, when properly performed, is incredibly safe. A complete history and examination would need to be performed to make sure you are a candidate for care, but compared to many other treatment options, chiropractic care has an enviable safely record.
