Extremely safe. And because chiropractors have specific techniques for every type of patient, from babies to the elderly, you can rest assured your visit to your OneWay Chiropractor is going to be not only safe, but gentle also.
In 1979 the New Zealand Commission of Inquiry into Chiropractic released their report after over 18 months of research. They concluded that spinal manipulation in the hands of a registered chiropractor is “remarkably safe”. They also commented that “chiropractors are the only health practitioners who are necessarily equipped by their education and training to carry out spinal manual therapy”.

In the latest major new study on the risk of stroke following manipulation of the neck, which reinforces the safety of chiropractic care for people with neck pain, the Report concluded that patients are no more at risk of having a rare type of stroke after visiting a chiropractor than they are after visiting a medical practitioner.
