Is Chiropractic Safe?

Chiropractic has been wrongly associated with increased risk of strokes and vertebral artery injury in recent years. This article in the SPINE JOURNAL, which is published by MEDICAL DOCTORS, has said conclusively in January 2008 that-

"A Canadian study indicates there is no increased risk related to chiropractic treatment in the heated debate about whether neck adjustments can trigger a rare type of stroke."

"Researchers say patients are no more likely to suffer a stroke following a visit to a chiropractor than they would after stepping into their family doctor's office."

"...a research paper published in 2001 in the Canadian Medical Association Journal found there is only a one-in-5.85-million risk that a chiropractic neck adjustment will cause a stroke."
