Yes, Chiropractic has an excellent safety record. It is the result of a natural approach to health that avoids invasive procedures or addictive drugs. Becoming a Chiropractor requires a five year, full time university education with an emphasis in the biological sciences. Our Chiropractor has completed about the same number of lecture hours as medical practitioners have. However, since Chiropractors choose not to prescribe drugs or perform surgery their education emphasizes neurology, diagnostic imaging, physiology, spinal adjustment techniques and clinical subjects.
Chiropractors are therefore well educated.
Traumatic Birth Syndrome is not a new condition. A researcher by the name of Duncan measured the amount of force it would take to severely injure a baby s neck during delivery. He found that 41kg of force was enough to cause stillbirth, while less than that would cause the spinal joints to sprain. Later, learning to walk, riding a bicycle, and other childhood activities can cause spinal problems. Left uncorrected, the vertebral subluxation may disturb the delicate spinal cord and nerves which control the youngster's muscles and organs.
