In general, chiropractic treatments carry a very low risk of complication. Approximately 25% of patients will experience short-term [24 hours] of local soreness following the initial adjustment. The risk of serious, irreversible complication is rare, and Dr. Giebler uses a very thorough exam to first identify any reasons Chiropractic care isn’t appropriate before any care is given. It is important that you discuss any specific concerns with your treating chiropractor prior to receiving treatment.
