Is Chiropractic Safe?
Chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal complaints (See Common Conditions We Treat). Every health care procedure from taking aspirin to surgery involves a level of risk. Chiropractic adjustments are among the safest of all health care interventions because they are non-surgical and drug-free. And it works!
