Chiropractic Care –Is it Safe?-Are Chiropractors Safe?
Chiropractic is the Healthy choice for you and your family! Chiropractic care has steadily grown to be the largest drugless health-care profession in the world. Yet, as the leader of the natural health industry, still the most common reason holding back people who have never been to the Chiropractor, is fear… mostly the fear of the unknown, but also fear that it might not be safe. Research and good sense are proving again and again that when it comes to chiropractic care, any fear is largely unfounded. Chiropractic has proven itself to be among the safest of all healing arts.
How Safe is Safe, Really?
A recent study in the Journal of the Canadian Medical Association (Oct. 2001) found the risk of a dissection in a vertebral artery from a Chiropractic neck adjustment is only a 1 in 5.85 million.
Relatively, how safe is this?

Chiropractic is safer than any drug. Chiropractic is safer for your family than prescribed medicines. Chiropractic is safer than any surgery… hundreds to thousands of times safer. Chiropractic is safer than taking a walk or hanging out at home this year. You're about 20 times more likely to be struck by lightning than have any serious complication from a Chiropractic adjustment. An aspirin a day is over 7000 times more dangerous. Considering that the average person has a 1 in 500,000 chance of stroke on any given day, any chiropractic patient is less than half as likely to have one… actually up to 10 times less at risk than the general population. How's that for safe?
Considering that 40,000 deaths a year in Canada alone are directly attributed to drugs and medical error. That's 110 people a day dying from drug reactions, hospital complications and doctor errors. Chiropractic's track record for safety doesn't belong in the same scale. That's why the Chiropractor's malpractice insurance is more than 5 times less than any MD.
