Addressing Concerns About Cervical Spinal Adjustments
If you suffer from chronic neck stiffness, text neck, or frequent headaches, you may be considering chiropractic care but wondering: “Is having my neck adjusted really safe?” Medical research confirms that cervical adjustments performed by a qualified Doctor of Chiropractic are among the safest, non-invasive treatments available.
What Research Says About Neck Adjustment Safety
Peer-reviewed studies published in major spine journals show that serious adverse events from neck adjustments occur in less than 1 in 2 to 5 million adjustments. In comparison, taking over-the-counter NSAID pain relievers carries a significantly higher risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and kidney stress.
