• Are chiropractic adjustments safe?

I'm 32 and I have pretty consistent neck pain. This has been going on for about 2 months. I heard that chiropractic adjustments might be able to help but I want to know about them. Are they safe?

Yes, Chiropractic adjustments are a safe and effective way of treating neck pain. Every Chiropractor will administer a thorough evaluation to assess if an adjustment is warranted and a safe form of treatment. They will also explain the benefits, risks, and alternatives to treatment and explain exactly what a Chiropractic adjustment does.

Hello,

The answer is yes, absolutely. Your doctor of chiropractic should do an examination and perhaps X-rays to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. However, there is very little risk associated with manipulation of any type when performed by a chiropractic physician. If you do not get relief from the adjustments fairly quickly (6-8 visits), you may need to get an MRI to determine if there is disc pathology contributing to your pain. I hope you find this info helpful and some of your fears are alleviated.
Take care and be well.

Chiropractic treatment is a safe and effective approach to address many pain related conditions. I would seek the opinion of a specific upper cervical (neck) specialist in the chiropractic profession. You can search under specific upper cervical chiropractic or Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic, Orthospinology Chiropractic, NUCCA. Once you find a professional near you, I would call or email the office with questions about their practice and how they address conditions similar to yours. Most offices should be willing or do offer a brief consultation at no charge. Good luck in your search. Chiropractic is a great option.

Yes they are very safe. What is occurring during and adjustment is simply bringing your bones into proper alignment and allowing your joints to function at 100%.

Chiropractic adjustments are not only safe, but effective. Find a chiropractor that analyzes the body through NeuroStructural Analysis with NeuroStructural X-rays. We focus on getting to the root cause of conditions looking at structure and function.
