Safety Record of Chiropractic

Chiropractic Care has been shown to be an incredibly safe and effective method of treatment. There have been many studies done around the world that illustrate this point. Most notably in Canada, a study was done by Dr. Pran Manga, PhD, who is a professor in Health Economics at the University of Ottawa. The Manga Report was commissioned by the Ontario Ministry of Health and disclosed several recommendations and findings. The main point illustrated was the fact that chiropractic care is shown to be more effective and safer than medical management or alternative treatments for low back pain.

[1] It is extremely rare to have complications from chiropractic care, and if a chiropractor diagnoses a problem that can best be treated by a different health care provider, an appropriate referral will be made.[2] At Priority Chiropractic a thorough consultation, as well as a neurologic, orthopedic and chiropractic examination is completed on all of our patients in order to further minimize the already very small risks. Many people believe that aspirin is safe, but research shows that chiropractic care is many times safer!
