Chiropracticis a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system
and the nervous system. Those that use chiropractic care regularly recommend it highly for a
variety of reasons. Here are the seven best reasons to find a chiropractor when you aren't feeling
your very best.
1. Chiropractic Has Been Proven Safe
Chiropractic is one of the safest therapies available if you are suffering from any
neuromusculoskeletal issues such as back, neck, joint, or head pain.
What exactly does safe mean? If you want to talk numbers, then the risk of injury is 1 in
286,000,000, or 0.0002%. Compare that to standard treatments such as medication and surgery
where the risk of injury is 1 in 1428. That's right - chiropractic manipulation is that much safer, and
as you'll learn later in this report, more effective as well.
The most common issue involving chiropractic isn't an injury at all. It is simply some mild soreness
after adjustment. Think about how your muscles feel if you've done something you don't normally
do. You feel sore because your muscles, bones, and ligaments have moved in ways they are not
used to moving. This is what happens during a chiropractic adjustment but on a minor scale. Any
soreness you feel will be gone within 24 hours and most patients feel immediately better with no
soreness whatsoever.
Why is chiropractic so safe? There are four main reasons:
Chiropractors have years of schooling with coursework that includes classes on all aspects of the
spine.
Chiropractors have been trained, doing clinical work long before becoming licensed.
Chiropractors continue their education long after graduation, completing courses yearly in order to
maintain a license to practice.
Finally, and most importantly, a chiropractor's basic philosophy is that the body is capable of
healing itself. The purpose of a chiropractor is simply to remove the subluxations, or blockages,
that occur in spine so that the body can do its job.
Chiropractic is so safe that agencies unassociated with chiropractic tout its benefits. For instance,
the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR), part of the US Department of Health
and Human Services, found that complications are rare. Not only that, they suggest that
chiropractic should be used before surgery is considered. And finally, they state that prescription

2. drugs are not recommended for most back pains.
2. Chiropractic Has Been Proven Effective for Pain
If you have pain, chiropractic may be just what you need. Studies in the United States and other
parts of the world show that chiropractic manipulations are effective. One study in California found
that chiropractic was effective 86% of the time for general lower back pain.
But what of acute lower back pain? A report released by the Agency for Health Care Policy and
Research recommended chiropractic as the best treatment for this ailment. A study from the
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and the Jefferson County (Missouri) Rehabilitation Centre
showed that there was immediate improvement when chiropractic was used to treat acute low
back pain.
Study after study has been conducted and study after study has concluded that spinal adjustment
is superior to other treatments for acute pain. But chiropractic is beneficial to more than just
general, chronic, or acute lower back pain.
Patients of chiropractic seek help for neck pain or discomfort as well. In fact, 19% of patients
report neck pain at the first consultation. This pain is usually caused by accident or injury but can
also be brought on by every day living.
The modern medical treatment for neck pain is either immobilization or physical therapy. However,
studies have shown that spinal adjustments are more effective. For instance, a study done in the
Netherlands observed patients receiving one of the three treatments. They found that spinal
adjustments improved overall physical functioning more than the other treatments.
Beyond the back and neck, patients often seeks chiropractic care for headaches, including
migraines. For chiropractic patients, migraines are often reduced or resolved without using pain
killers or other prescription medications. A study was published by chiropractic doctors at
University of Odense and the Nordic Institute of Chiropractic and clinical Biochemist in Denmark
showing that spinal adjustments and soft tissue therapy allowed for steady improvement.
Many people understand the role of chiropractic in the back, neck, and head because
chiropractors are seen as "back doctors." However, chiropractic has proven effective for many
other conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, infantile colic, and much more.
For pain associated with a variety of conditions, chiropractic is proven effective, often more
effective than modern medical treatments. Coupled with the safety of chiropractic, it should be
your first choice when dealing with pain.
3. Chiropractic is Less Invasive and Drug Free
If you go to a medical doctor due to neck and back pain, you are likely to be given nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs, known as NSAIDS. Although these drugs are given out regularly, they do
have significant risks t hat are far greater than the typical issue, soreness, seen with chiropractic.
NSAID risks include:

3. Allergic reactions, some of which can be life threatening
Hives or rashes
Increased risk of heart attack
Increased risk of stroke
Gastrointestinal issues such as bleeding or ulcers
Cancer
Another typical treatment is bed rest. But this, too, can cause problems such as muscles atrophy,
heart and lung weakness, bone loss, and blood clots.
Let's not forget surgery. Surgery is used for neck and back pain whenever painkillers and bed rest
don't work and the risks of surgery are great. They include:
Breathing issues due to anesthesia - a patient can quit breathing entirely
Blood loss leading to transfusions
Cardiovascular risks such as heart attack or stroke
Scar tissue
Pain
Infection
Blood clots
Lung collapse
Injury to other areas of the body
Paralysis
Numbness and tingling of parts of the body
Swelling and bruising
And even death
Chiropractic has none of these risks because it is not invasive. There is no cutting on the body and
there is no medication prescribed. To avoid the risks associated with NSAIDS and surgery,
chiropractic is an excellent choice.
4. Chiropractic is Less Disruptive to Your Lifestyle
Chiropractic is done on an outpatient basis and has easy recovery, often less than 24 hours of
minimal soreness. Consider this in comparison to the recovery of surgery.
After any surgical procedure, the body needs time to repair tissues damaged during the surgery so
that the body can return to normal. Surgical recovery is a process that can take time, often long
periods of time requiring medication and bed rest. In fact, pushing yourself too hard after surgery
will cause setbacks and make your recovery time longer.
Chiropractic, on the other hand, has limited recovery time. At most, chiropractic patients may feel
some mild soreness in the area of the manipulation. This soreness is typically gone in a matter of
hours, not days or weeks as with surgery.

4. Additionally, surgical patients that are older, out of shape, overweight, or generally in poor health
will take far longer to heal and be ready for every day life. Although different factors will dictate
how quickly you are pain free, the ability to resume your lifestyle happens quickly with most
patients, often with as little as one manipulation.
5. Chiropractic is Less Expensive
In August 1999, Blue Cross/Blue Shield (BCBS) of Kansas presented a study titled "Lumbago
Treatment." When viewed per treatment episode, chiropractic was shown to be more cost effective
than anesthesiology, neurosurgery, neurology, registered physical therapy, orthopedic
reconstructive surgery, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and rheumatology.
Why so cost effective? Medical doctors and physical therapists rely on:
Referrals
Prescriptions
Surgery
MRIs
CT scans
Hospitalization
Over 50% of the charges are simply for diagnostic procedures and not for actual pain relief.
On the other hand, the majority of chiropractic expense comes from office based treatment with
less than 10% of costs arising from diagnostics, typically in the form of spinal x-rays.
A study in the May 2007 Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics showed that
chiropractic resulted in a 60.2% reduction in hospital admissions, 59.0% reduction in hospital
days, 62.0% reduction in outpatient surgeries and procedures, and 83% reduction pharmaceutical
costs when compared with conventional medicine.
By reducing these items, overall costs associated with chiropractic care are significantly less than
that of traditional medical care.
6. Chiropractic Helps With Injuries Due to Accidents
Chiropractic is beneficial in treating various injuries such as sprains, pulled muscles, and joint
problems due to auto, sports, work, and everyday injuries. The most common injuries due to
accidents are:
Whiplash
Lower back misalignment
Upper back and neck misalignment
Repetitive motion injuries

5. Whiplash is the sudden movement that causes distortions to the neck. This type of sudden
movement often happens during a car crash, even one at very low speeds. Although you may not
initially feel any pain, the vertebrae that move out of place will eventually cause problems with the
nerves and cause you pain from misalignment or subluxations. Medical doctors prescribe pain
meds and bed rest for whiplash, which may be good for a day or two, but not for the long run.
There is no way to remain in bed indefinitely nor is it possible to function regularly on pain
medications. A chiropractor will help you with the cause of the problem rather than help you
manage the symptoms.
Lower back misalignment can happen suddenly or over a long period of time. For instance, you
can improperly lift something heavy resulting in immediate back pain, or you can simply have poor
posture that results in back pain over time. The misalignment causes subluxations that can be
corrected using chiropractic.
Lower back pain is made up of several different low back problems including:
Vertebral subluxations
Injured discs
Muscle strain
Ligament sprain
Scoliosis
Sciatica
And more.
The ability to correct injuries holds true for the upper back and neck as well.
Repetitive Motion Injuries are a fast growing source of pain in the United States often associated
with the workplace, particularly sitting at a computer terminal for long periods of time. Repetitive
motion injuries cause less oxygen to get into the muscles and this causes scar tissue to develop.
Chiropractic releases the subluxations causing the pain.
So, whether your pain is from a car accident or merely sitting incorrectly at work, chiropractic is a
way for you to feel better fast.
7. Chiropractic: Because You Live, Move, and Breathe
Because you are alive and move about, you are sure to cause a misalignment of your spine at one
time or another. Simple movements such as sitting or bending can cause problems. So can
walking, running, stretching, and lifting. In fact, any movement can create a subluxation and
subluxations cause pain when left alone. So, if you move, then you can benefit from chiropractic.
Whether you are out running every day or see yourself more as a couch potato, chiropractic can
be beneficial to you. It is the most effective natural healthcare available. And, as you've learned, it
is safe, effective, non-invasive, inexpensive, and great for any injuries you may have. If you live,

6. move, or breathe, you should have a doctor of Chiropractic as a member of your personal health
care team.
