The most common side effect of chiropractic care is soreness and fatigue, both of which are mild and should go away quickly. However, in rare cases, seniors and the elderly may experience other implications. Some rare side effects are stroke, pinches of nerves in your lower spine, and herniated disks. If you seek treatment from someone who is unqualified or lacks experience, you could be at an increased risk of experiencing complications. It is important to visit only a professional clinic for therapy, and for the best and safest results.
