Chiropractic Care Safety & Considerations
Safety Information
When considering chiropractic services, there are some general considerations to be aware of:
- Some patients may experience mild soreness, stiffness, or fatigue following care, which typically resolves within 24-48 hours.
- Certain medical conditions (e.g., osteoporosis, spinal instability, blood-clotting disorders) may not be suitable for some chiropractic techniques.
- Your management approach will be determined based on your individual health status. It's important to share all health information during your initial consultation.
An assessment is conducted during your initial consultation to discuss whether chiropractic services may be suitable for you.
