So many misconceptions about chiropractic care! I have had patients told by medical providers that they cannot continue with chiropractic treatment because they have osteoporosis. These providers probably mean well, but unfortunately most medical providers are very uninformed concerning chiropractic care. The reality is that this condition is not an absolute contraindication to chiropractic care. We just modify or use different techniques on patients with osteoporosis.
I have attached a link to a document by the World Health Organization on chiropractic training and safety. Here is a statement from the document. "When employed skilfully and appropriately, chiropractic care is safe and effective for the prevention and management of a number of health problems."
Does this surprise anyone?
