Are there any risks associated with chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care is generally safe when performed by a licensed professional. There can be localized soreness, temporary headaches, or fatigue. We have to consider that some chiropractic adjustments are performed manually, which can be beneficial to some, but it can also cause injury if done incorrectly or too aggressively. Therefore, it is important to let your Chiropractor know any concerns you may have before getting treated.

Another potential risk associated with chiropractic care is damage to nerves and blood vessels due to excessive force during adjustments. It can also cause bruising, swelling, numbness, tingling, or even nerve damage in some cases. The most severe possible injuries are those involving vascular issues that can lead to strokes.

Make sure your chiropractor knows if you experience any dizziness when you turn your head in certain directions or have a history of fainting or passing out.

Are chiropractic adjustments painful?

For the most part, chiropractic adjustments are not painful, but in the beginning of treatment, if the patient is in a very high inflammatory state, it may be uncomfortable at first. Once those inflammation levels go down as treatments continue, it becomes less and less painful.

How are chiropractors educated?

Chiropractors have as much schooling as a medical doctor, with the exception that they have more pharmacology (study of drugs) and pathology (study of diseases). Hence, why a lot of the time they just medicate the symptoms and not treat the main cause of the ailment/condition. Doctors of Chiropractic have more anatomy and physiology (how the body is structured and how it functions!!) and radiology (being able to read your X-rays is very crucial).
