Many studies find chiropractic "remarkably safe." Chiropractic has also been shown to be safer than back surgery, muscle relaxers and even aspirin!

Adjustments are rarely painful. In fact, most patients feel it relieves pain and tension in their joints. A few patients report slight soreness or a dull aching in the treated muscles or joints. These are considered normal reactions to the treatment and generally disappear shortly afterward. In the majority of cases, adjustments are painless and the beneficial effects from the treatment are quickly realized.

Most people who experience the full benefits of chiropractic continue to get checked and adjusted regularly, because they enjoy the elevated level of health they experience with chiropractic care. How long you choose to benefit from chiropractic care is always up to you.

Sometimes, it costs tens of thousands of dollars by ignoring a problem so long that surgery is the only option. Simply living with pain is very costly too. Though the exact cost of chiropractic care varies and depends on each individual’s case, it is comparatively inexpensive and is worth while.

Chiropractors must complete a minimum of 6-7 years of college education. The basic science and clinical coursework includes anatomy, biochemistry, microbiology, physical and laboratory diagnostics, radiology, physiology, pathology, nutrition, biomechanics, and spinal manipulation techniques. Chiropractic education is similar to medical education except the focus is on the diagnosis and treatment of musculo-skeletal and nervous system disorders rather than drugs or surgery.
