Is Chiropractic Treatment Safe?

The Hillsborough Chiropractor Clinic

Chiropractic treatment is a fantastic option for an array of injuries, niggles and recurring health issues, though many of our potential clients often have concerns around the safety of such procedures. Understandable considering the somewhat vague public perception of treatment, we’re passionate about sharing the benefits with all we work with, therefore this blog should act as a handy guide to the trustworthiness of various chiropractic treatments. Clearing up misconceptions and guiding you through the prominent myths, let The Hillsborough Chiropractic Clinic separate fact and fiction.



Trust Professionals


When it comes to your health, trusting professionals is of paramount importance, and if you're considering chiropractic treatment, it's essential to find a reputable chiropractic clinic with qualified professionals who can provide premium quality care. Chiropractic care has gained popularity in recent years, among everyone from those suffering recurring back pains, to athletes seeking the expertise of a sports chiropractor. Despite universal popularity, before exploring the intricacies of spinal adjustments and manual therapies, it's crucial to address the burning question - is chiropractic treatment safe?


Research Overview


In the simplest terms, chiropractic care is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders, primarily those related to the spine. Research into chiropractic treatment has shown promising results, indicating its effectiveness in alleviating various conditions such as lower back pain, neck pain, and headaches. Chiropractors undergo extensive education and training, making them experts in their field, and at The Hillsborough Chiropractic Clinic, we only employ the best. Skilled at performing adjustments to improve joint function, reduce pain, and enhance overall well-being, there are notable risks associated with chiropractic treatment that should be considered, outlined here.


The Notable Risks


While chiropractic care is generally safe, there are potential risks involved, albeit rare. The most common risk is soreness or discomfort following an adjustment, which usually subsides within a day or two. Some individuals might experience minor side effects like headaches or fatigue, but these are typically short-lived. Serious complications, such as nerve compression or damage, are exceedingly rare and often result from pre-existing medical conditions or underlying factors. It's crucial to discuss your medical history with your chiropractor before beginning treatment to ensure that any potential risks are minimised.


Effective Options


Chiropractic treatment offers a range of effective options for various health issues. Beyond spinal adjustments, our chiropractors employ techniques such as soft tissue therapy, exercise rehabilitation, and lifestyle advice to address the root causes of musculoskeletal problems. For athletes, a sports chiropractor can be a valuable asset. Our practice specialises in treating sports-related injuries and enhancing athletic performance through tailored treatment plans too, so whether you're a professional athlete or a Sunday league football player, a sports chiropractor can help you recover from injuries and optimise your physical performance.
