Known Side Effects of Chiropractic Care

As a followup to my previous post, a quick look at possible risks with Chiropractic manipulation

 Any form of health system intervention poses the risks of developing certain side effects and chiropractic care is one of them. Although there are a few of them, gaining knowledge about potential side effects that can be brought about by chiropractic care will help one prevent the possibility of it evolving into a more serious condition that can be life-threatening. 


Common Side Effects

Ever since its emergence, chiropractic care has been receiving praises in the medical industry for introducing a brand of medical treatment that is effective and yet safe. For once, it lacks the use of invasive medical approaches that can be both dangerous and expensive. However, side effects with chiropractic care cannot be fully avoided due to differences in the way a patient's body adjusts to the chiropractic manipulation or the extent of the damage.

If there are any side effect to be experienced from the use of chiropractic treatment, they are mostly mild and pose no real threat to someone's health. For instance, a patient suffers from a feeling of soreness or slight pain on the part of the body where adjustments were done. In other cases, patients reported of having minor headaches after undergoing chiropractic treatment. Any form of pain experienced during treatment are due to the exertion of pressure and force on the spine by the chiropractor performing the adjustments.

How Common or Rare Is It?

Minor side effects range from feeling of fatigue, soreness, headaches, among others and they are all temporary. Plus, patients who experience them only cover a minor percentage of patients undergoing chiropractic care.

Another advantage of chiropractic treatments that you should make use of is the lack of drug prescription or use of surgical methods to treat the medical condition. Therefore, patients who need chiropractic care must not hesitate to proceed since any risks of developing side effects is very low. In fact, it is determined to be the least risky method of health care treatment available in the medical community.

Relax all your back muscles before! Get massage before and then crack you back. 

Use your electric massage for at least 15 mins. 

Then perform this movement, not hard! I solved the low back pain due to driving, work and more.

Serious Side Effects

Several publications falsely claim that there are serious side effects brought about by spinal manipulation or other chiropractic treatments. Stroke is one of them. They claim the stroke is a result of the manipulation on the neck that create damage to the arteries that transport blood into the brain.

The case of chiropractic patients acquiring stroke as a result of the procedure is a rare incident though. In fact, statistics show that only 1 out of a million chiropractic patients are going to develop stroke. Hence, the risks of developing this particular side effect can almost be considered non-existent.

When Is Chiropractic Care Not Recommended?

Majority of chiropractic treatments provide immediate relief for patients. However, when pain continues even after the initial treatment procedure, it is recommended that the chiropractic treatment is continued for the next two weeks until the symptoms of their condition subsides. If there are no signs of improvement, then doctors reconsider other treatment options aside from chiropractic care.

There are certain instances or disorders though wherein chiropractic is not the best recommended type of treatment to undergo. Among them are infection in the bones or joints, acute rheumatoid arthritis, bone cancer, osteoporosis, or other diseases in the bone marrow or spinal cord.

How You Can Prevent Them

There is no better way to guard yourself against any serious complications that could arise from contracting side effects on a treatment procedure than to prevent it. Here's how you can do it:

• Talk with your chiropractors about possible side effects that can develop from a treatment method. This will enable you to take proper measures in ensuring that the side effects do not worsen or if there are any ways for you to prevent them.

• Try talking to previous chiropractic patients to determine what side effects they experienced (if any) and discuss how they dealt with it.

• When you experience side effects that last beyond 24 to 48 hours, make sure to inform your medical doctor or chiropractor immediately.

Chiropractic care can provide patients with a wide array of benefits. 

 Knowing the process can help you determine the effects that can occur throughout the body. . 

Here are some of the known effects to help you decide whether the treatment is also right for your condition.

Correcting Misalignment

Generally, chiropractic care is known to be very effective in correcting misalignment in the spine and joints. The technique used widely by professionals is called chiropractic adjustment or spinal adjustment. In the United States, chiropractors practice more than 90% of all treatments and manipulations.

The technique is a passive move, where a joint is brought further than the normal range of movement. The range does not go far enough cause the joint to be dislocated or damaged. Spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) involves using the hands to massage, stimulate, mobilize and apply traction to the spine and related tissues. 

Psychological Effects

Most patients feel relieved and relaxed after chiropractic sessions. In the beginning, you may feel some slight discomfort or mild pain as the joints are conditioned and your range of motion is increased than the usual. Patients begin to develop a higher sense of confidence and boost self-esteem as their condition begins to progress and they experience less pain and discomfort in their muscles and joints.

Patients suffering from neck and back pain for years will start to feel positively about themselves, as they are become more capable of performing activities of daily living. Relationship with family and friends is enhanced because of the process.

Patients can rest assured that treatment solutions are safe, quick and effective. There is very little risk in chiropractic care, since practitioners use a very accurate approach in treatment. Diagnostic tests are also given to ensure that patients have a certain specific problem, before employing any technique. 

No Side Effects

Chiropractic is considered to be the biggest drug-free type of treatment for join pain. You do not have to worry about developing side effects in the long run. Most patients actually feel better after every treatment, until they only need to visit 1 to 3 times per year. Some even just visit to help remove stress and relax. You do not have to worry about signs and symptoms returning or more symptoms based on the use of drugs and other drastic medical measures like surgery.

You Gotta Love Fish Oil

One has gotta love fish oil. If you think that I’m kidding then please continue reading. 

Those who shun fishes like mackerel, tuna and salmon due to some personal and at times even weird preferences might have second thoughts after they come to learn the benefits of eating those kinds of fish. These fish along with herring, sardines, flounder and lake trout contains omega-3 fatty acids.

However, just to clarify the fish themselves are not capable of producing the oil themselves. In the case of herrings and sardines, they accumulate the omega-3 deposits from eating microalgae that produces them. And mackerel, salmon, flounder, and trout get their supply from eating small fishes like the herrings.

Now aside from the omega-3, other fatty acids present in what we may call oily fishes are the eicosapentaenoic acid or EPA and docosahexaenoic acid or DHA. You have probably heard of these two from commercials or advertisements which markets products that contain these acids. EPA and DHA can play an important role in the development of one’s brain, helps keep the nervous system in top shape and even protect people from heart disease.

Another good reason of making oily fish part of the daily meals or considering fish oil as food supplement is that it can reduce the risk of getting cancer. May it be breast, prostate or colon cancer, fish that are rich in fatty acids were found to be capable of stopping the development and spread of cancer cells to healthy ones.

And what about the findings that pregnant women has less chance of developing complications during pregnancies? You see, those fatty and oily fishes are more than just a treat to the palates. The fish oil, moreover, helps prevent premature delivery and low birth weight. In fact, women who consumed fish oil during their pregnancy were found to deliver babies that are stronger against allergies.

Besides the things that have mentioned so far, fish oil seems to be quite beneficial for our eyesight as well. As we grow older our eyesight slowly diminishes. That’s why a lot of older folks need corrective eyeglasses or even surgery just to see a little bit clearer. Fish oil helps improves eyesight, decrease the dryness, and prevents the decline of eyesight in old age.

Other known benefit include treatment for inflammatory bowel disorders, rheumatoid arthritis and even systemic lupus. Not to mention, fatty acids from fish can help prevent a variety of depression and anxieties. The omega-3 in the fatty acids are good for relieving anxiety, sadness, stress, mental fatigue, restlessness, suicidal tendencies and some nervous disorders. Even those who have been diagnosed with bipolar disorders are encouraged to include fish oil in their diet.

If you by now you’re still not loving fish oil then I don’t know what else to say. Since studies are being conducted continuously, scientists will find more benefits from eating fish oil. They will find a whole new list of why it would be good to add fish oil in one’s diet.

However, even at this time with the different benefits that have been cites, I have no reason to doubt that one really gotta love fish oil.
