Understanding the Safety of Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care focuses on safe, non-invasive treatment methods that are backed by science and proven effective, but don’t require dangerous surgeries or addictive prescription medications. You might consider chiropractic care if you’re interested in alternative medicine treatments, overall wellness, and holistic healthcare. Before visiting one of our Vancouver chiropractors, learn more about the safety of chiropractic care.
Non-Invasive Treatment Methods
The treatment methods used in chiropractic care are non-invasive. This significantly lowers their risk of side effects or negative results. Our chiropractors will find the most effective, least invasive treatment method for your symptoms, health, and goals.
Special Precautions and Risk Management
Just like all other healthcare providers and medical specialists, chiropractors take special precautions to mitigate risk of side effects or complications in patients. People with certain health conditions should not undergo chiropractic treatment, including people with severe osteoporosis, bone cancer or cancer that has spread to the bone, fractures, or poorly controlled arthritis, gout, or diabetic neuropathy.
Low-Risk and Minimal Downtime
Chiropractic treatments are low risk and require minimal downtime or recovery time. Because each treatment is minimally invasive, most patients opt to receive continuous treatment every week to improve their chances of a speedy recovery. Chiropractic care is offered on an outpatient basis, so patients can immediately return to work or their normal daily routine after treatment.
Regulations and Oversight
Chiropractors are subject to regulations and oversight, just like any other member of the medical profession. Chiropractors must be licensed in the state in which they practice, and they must renew their license regularly according to local law. You can look up a chiropractor’s license at any time and check to see if he has had any complaints filed against him or has been cited for any violations. An active, valid chiropractic license confirms that the Doctor of Chiropractic has met credentialing criteria and abides by the laws and regulations of his state. Patients can check the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Board and online customer reviews to find out if their chiropractor is reputable and trustworthy.
