Colorado Springs 80903-Some people would have you believe that going to a chiropractor is a risky as going through a landmine field.  This is the furthest thing from the truth.  Based on statistics, chiropractic adjustments are safer than most medical procedures with positive outcomes achieved more frequently.

According to a 2009 systemic review, an average of 1 in 10,000,000 may result in a serious injury.  In comparison, a 2005 Pub Med article concluded that there are 15.3 deaths/100,000 in frequent NSAID/aspirin users.  That means you are about 1500 times more likely to die from complications of aspirin use than getting seriously injured by a chiropractic adjustment.

My name is Dr. Rob Gottesman and my chiropractic technique is Directional Non-force Technique©Chiropractic.  This means there is virtually no risk of injury with DNFT.
