FAQ from ACA regarding the safety of chiropractic:
Chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasivetherapies available for the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal complaints.Although chiropractic has an excellent safety record, no health treatment iscompletely free of potential adverse effects. The risks associated withchiropractic, however, are very small. Many patients feel immediate relieffollowing chiropractic treatment, but some may experience mild soreness oraching, just as they do after some forms of exercise. Current literature showsthat minor discomfort or soreness following spinal manipulation typically fadeswithin 24 hours. Neck pain and some types of headaches are treated throughprecise cervical manipulation. Cervical manipulation, often called a neckadjustment, works to improve joint mobility in the neck, restoring range ofmotion and reducing muscle spasm, which helps relieve pressure and tension. Neckmanipulation is a remarkably safe procedure. While some reports have associatedupper high-velocity neck manipulation with a certain kind of stroke, orvertebral artery dissection, there is not yet a clear understanding of theconnection. The occurrence appears to be very rare—1 in 5.85 millionmanipulations— based on the clinical reports and scientific studies to date. Ifyou are visiting your doctor of chiropractic with upper-neck pain or headache,be very specific about your symptoms. This will help your doctor of chiropracticoffer the safest and most effective treatment, even if it involves referral toanother health care provider. It is important for patients to understand therisks associated with some of the most common treatments for musculoskeletalpain -- prescription and over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDS) -- as these treatments may carry risks significantly greater than thoseof chiropractic manipulation. According to a study from the American Journal ofGastroenterology, approximately one-third of all hospitalizations and deathsrelated to gastrointestinal bleeding can be attributed to the use of aspirin orNSAID painkillers like ibuprofen.
