Chiropractic Care Is Safe And Effective

The safety of chiropractic care has been well documented in professiona; journals of all kinds. Serious side-effects of chiropractic manipulative therapy occur approximately one out of every one million adjustments. Compare this to the serious side-effects of medicines and surgical errors to put safety in perspective. Research reveals that some 100,000 people ale each year from the effects of prescription drugs that prescribed by their doctors.

This isn't meant to be "M.D. bashing", it's just the simple truth about the safety of prescription medications, as reportec in the journal of the American Medical Association April 1998). The article continues to say, "Discovering new dangers of drugs after marketing is common. Overall, 51% of approved drugs have serious adverse effects not detectec prior to approval. Merely discovering adverse effects is not by itself sufficient to protect the public. Each year prescription drugs injure 1 .5 million people so severely they require hospitalization and 100,000 die, making prescription drugs the 4th leading cause of ceath in the United States."
