Chiropractic: 100 Times Safer Than Drugs

By April

A recent review showed that chiropractic adjustments are more effective for neck pain than non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs). The study evaluated any potential risk of serious injury or death that could result from chiropractic adjustment; assessed evidence to determine if chiropractic adjustments are effective treatments for neck pain, and assessed the risk and effects of (NSAIDs)-the conventional, first line of treatment for the condition.

The evidence indicated that (NSAID) use poses a significant greater risk of serious complications and death than chiropractic adjusments for comparable conditions.

The evidence showed chiropractic adjustment for neck painis much safer than the use of (NSAIDs)- by as much as several hundred times.

Researchers noted that there is no evidence the indicate that NSAID use is more effrective for neck pain tham chiropractic adjustments.
