Safe & Scientific
Chiropractic originated over 100 years ago and is now the largest non-surgical, non-drug prescribing health profession in the world, with numerous studies to support its safety and validity. Chiropractors are highly qualified and trained professionals who study full time at university for a minimum of five years.
The Magna report overwhelmingly supported the efficacy, safety, scientific validity, and cost-effectiveness of Chiropractic for low-back pain. In the words of a New Zealand government’s inquiry, Chiropractic care is ‘remarkably safe’ and effective in relieving not only musculo-skeletal symptoms but other complaints such as migraines. This is supported by a Macquarie University study, whereby specific Chiropractic adjustments to the spine significantly reduced migraines in 71% of people participating. The frequency, duration, severity and amount of medication all decreased markedly with Chiropractic adjustments.
Chiropractic is far safer than many of the everyday things we take for granted. It avoids prescription drugs and invasive procedures and in many cases is safer. For example, in relation to the treatment of neck and back pain, studies have shown that a course of Chiropractic care was 250 times safer than a course of anti-inflammatory drugs.
