There are limitations to the use of chiropractic care for certain medical conditions or injuries. Here are some examples:   ᐅ Fractures or dislocations: Chiropractic care is generally not recommended for patients with severe fractures or dislocations. In such cases, the patient may require surgery or other medical intervention. ᐅ Osteoporosis: Chiropractic adjustments may be risky for patients with osteoporosis, a condition that causes the bones to become weak and brittle. ᐅ Spinal cord compression: Patients with spinal cord compression, which causes pressure on the spinal cord, may require surgery or other medical treatments. ᐅ Infections or tumors: Patients with infections or tumors affecting the spine may require medical or surgical intervention. Chiropractic adjustments may exacerbate the condition or cause complications. ᐅ Nerve damage: Chiropractic adjustments may be risky for patients with nerve damage, as they may worsen the symptoms or cause further damage. ᐅ Blood thinners: Patients taking blood thinners or other medications that affect blood clotting may be at increased risk of bleeding or bruising from chiropractic adjustments.
