It is a therapy based on the principle that the body has a self-healing, recuperative capacity and that there is a relationship between the structure of the skeleton and the function of the body. The relationship between the structure of the skeleton and the nervous system is the basis of the chiropractic approach to healing. Chiropractors believe that people are healthier when the nervous system is functioning at it’s optimum and they are no longer experiencing pain.
Yes, spinal manipulation is very safe. In a 2004 study in the Journal of Manual Therapies, the most common post-adjustment reactions were are follows: headache (19.8%), stiffness (19.5%), local discomfort (15.2%), radiating discomfort (12.1%) and fatigue (12.1%). These reactions began within 4 hours and generally disappeared within the next 24 hours. Infrequent but potentially serious side effects include: vertebrobasilar accidents (VBA), strokes, spinal disc herniation, vertebral and rib fractures, and cauda equina syndrome. [8]These side effects only occur in a small percentage of patients. In many cases treatment does not hurt and many patients feel an immediate reduction in pain and stiffness.
Generally x-rays are not performed on every patient. There are times during the course of the history and exam when certain findings make obtaining x-rays a critical part of the treatment process. The rationale for x-rays will be discussed with the patient so that an informed decision can be made.
