| Is
Chiropractic Safe? |
| Chiropractic
is among the safest of the healing arts. As
proof, one merely has to compare malpractice rates
between chiropractors and other health
professionals. Chiropractors' malpractice
premiums are a small fraction of those for medical
doctors, especially orthopedist and surgeons. |

| How
often should I get an adjustment? |
| The
answer is "As soon as you develop
subluxations." But since subluxations are
often painless, it's good to get your spine checked
periodically, as you get your teeth checked
periodically for "painless" cavities.
Degeneration can begin in as
little as 3 weeks after the initial subluxation due
to the loss of nutrition to the joint.

| Can
I tell if I have a Subluxation without consulting a
chiropractor? |
| Not
Always. A Subluxation is like a dental cavity-
you may have it for a long time before symptoms
appear. that's why periodic spinal checkups are
so important. Although it may be possible to
know you have a subluxation, it is rarely possible to
be sure you don't. An occasional spinal checkup
is always a good idea. |
