Assessing the risk of chiropractic care

A portion of our new patients are concerned over the safety of chiropractic. Due to the nature of correcting the spine, many people see this as being dangerous. Rest assured, chiropractic is one of the safest health care treatments.

Impartial evidence of this can be found by looking how much risk insurance companies assign to covering chiropractic for malpractice. A general practitioner pays approximately $50,000 per year in malpractice insurance. The average chiropractor will pay $2,500 per year. Nationwide, chiropractors, along with dentists and naturopathic doctors have the lowest instances of malpractice complaints when compared to other healthcare providers.
