Safety

In the words of a New Zealand government study, “Chiropractic is remarkably safe.”

Baseless Concern

Critics, skeptics and those who misunderstand chiropractic often use safety as a way to discourage people from considering chiropractic. Usually it concerns adjustments to the neck. These concerns are baseless.

Chiropractic Wanabes

There just aren’t a lot of recorded instances of chiropractors producing adverse reactions from neck adjustments. When there is a rare newsworthy event, it’s often been at the hands of other practitioners who have taken a weekend course or lack the training and years of education that today's chiropractors receive.

What’s Safe?

Virtually everything has risks associated with it. For example: Statistically, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever is considerably more dangerous than chiropractic care. As is driving your car, taking a shower (slip and fall) or eating at a new restaurant (food poisoning). Relax, knowing these are much riskier than receiving chiropractic care in our practice!

Dr. Ferguson Asks some important questions of interest to Canton residents - Chiropractor Canton Dr. Ferguson Asks...

Why are some people allergic to pollen and others aren't?
It's not the pollen. Chiropractors know that if it were, everyone would be allergic to pollen, nuts and pet dander. But that's not the case. It's the person, not the pollen! If you live in Canton and your stress levels are high, then each year the grass, the trees or the weeds put your nervous system over the top. Many report that chiropractic care helps reduce the frequency and severity of their allergic response.
Why are frequent visits advised when starting chiropractic care?
Consistent visits at the beginning of your chiropractic care help create the momentum necessary to correct and retrain unhealthy spinal patterns. Later, Canton patients find that continued care on a less frequent visit schedule can help preserve their progress and avoid a relapse.
