Is Chiropractic Safe? What Patients Should Know

Safety is one of the most common questions people in Oakleigh and surrounding suburbs ask when considering chiropractic care. At North Road Chiropractic, where we have been providing care since 1987, safety and precision are central to everything we do.

Chiropractic has an excellent safety record when performed by a qualified practitioner. We use a combination of manual, low-force, and high-specificity techniques, selected based on individual assessment findings.

Before any care begins, we assess spinal structure using postural X-rays and evaluate muscle and nerve function with Computerized EMG scanning. EMG helps identify areas of muscle overactivity or nerve stress so care can be gentle and appropriate.

Adjustments are controlled and precise — not forceful. Many patients are surprised at how comfortable chiropractic care feels.

Some people attend only when discomfort arises, while others choose ongoing care to maintain mobility and spinal health. The direction of care is always your choice.
