What conditions do chiropractors treat?

Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the muscular, skeletal and nervous system, and the effects these disorders have on the general health of the patient. Chiropractic care is used most often to treat back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.

Is chiropractic treatment safe?

Yes, chiropractic treatment is safe and effective. While any form of health treatment contains a degree of inherent risk, there is little danger in chiropractic care when administered by a licensed practitioner. To assure competency, all states require that DC's be board-qualified, licensed, and regulated according to stringent criteria. Statistics show that patient risk is substantially lower in chiropractic as opposed to medical care, where the use of prescription drugs and surgery pose a much higher risk of complications.
