Help is only a phone call away.
Do Chiropractic adjustments hurt?
In most cases, it does not hurt at all. In fact, it usually feels great to be adjusted. Our doctors, themselves, get adjusted regularly and look forward to it. Adjustments are commonly associated with instant relief from stiffness and pain. Our doctors make every effort to make sure our patients are as comfortable as possible thru their entire experience.
Is it safe?
Chiropractic has an excellent safety record. One study found that you are more likely to get hit by lightning than to have a serious reaction to a chiropractic adjustment. While it’s not unusual to hear of injuries from mis-prescribed drugs, drug overdoses, drug combinations and erroneous treatments in the medical profession, it is extremely rare to hear of a problem resulting from chiropractic care. According to a government study in New Zealand, chiropractic care was found to be “remarkably safe.”
Chiropractic treatments are safe because we only use natural and noninvasive methods of care. Research consistently shows that care from chiropractors is among the safest care available and is literally light years ahead of traditional medical care in terms of “safeness.”
Chiropractic is among the safest of the healing arts. As proof, one merely has to compare malpractice rates between chiropractors and other health care professionals. Chiropractors’ malpractice premiums are a small fraction of those for medical doctors. As a matter of fact, chiropractors’ malpractice premiums are often times cheaper than what you are paying for car insurance. This means you’re taking a bigger risk every time you drive than going to see a chiropractor---and you do that every single day.
Do I need a referral?
No. Chiropractors are Primary Treating Physicians. They are held to similar accountability as medical doctors are. Because of its effectiveness in alleviating so many ailments, chiropractic neurology has been made easily accessible to anyone who wishes to get better.
