Post, share, print, hand out Medical Studies Demonstrate Chiropractic Safety For Neck Adjustments A study in the scientific medical journal Spine notes the safety of chiropractic. The article published in the October 2007 issue of the journal was titled, Safety of Chiropractic Manipulation of the Cervical Spine: A Prospective National Survey. The Authors admitted that the risk of any serious side effects to chiropractic care was relatively unknown to them and the medical community. This study looked at the outcomes from 19,722 chiropractic patients who have received some form of neck adjustments. The researchers reviewed a total of 50,276 neck adjustments and looked to see if there were any serious side effects from the chiropractic care. The results quoted in the study were that, There were no reports of serious adverse events. Researchers did not find any serious adverse effects in any of the subjects they studied. A research article published on August 3, 2010 in the journal, Chiropractic & Osteopathy, further shows the safety of chiropractic adjustments. The article itself was a review of numerous other studies done recently that looked at the chances of adverse events from chiropractic care. One of the studies reviewed looked at the effectiveness of chiropractic for neck pain. In this additional study, published on July 9, 2010 in the Journal Chiropractic & Osteopathy, authors noted that there were no serious adverse events. Detractors of chiropractic have recently mounted a well funded campaign to try to scare the general public into believing that chiropractic carries a serious risk to arterial problems. This study, reporting on several others shows that in fact chiropractic is as, or safer than visits to general practitioners. Annuls of Internal Medicine from the American College of Physicians, January 3, 2012, showed that patients suffering from acute neck pain did better with chiropractic adjustments and showed a statistically significant advantage over medication. Opponents of Chiropractic have attempted a smear campaign over the last several years by suggesting that chiropractic adjustments to the neck increased the certain type of stroke. A study published in the medical scientific journal Spine puts those false accusations to rest and clearly shows that chiropractic does not increase the risk of these types of problems. The association occurs because patients tend to seek care when theyre having neck pain or headaches, and sometimes they go to a chiropractor, sometimes they go to a physician. But we didnt see an increased likelihood of them having this type of stroke after seeing a chiropractor.
