Chiropractors are considered a essential part of every professional sports team. Athletes (from the NHL, NFL, NBA, MLB, and even alternative sports heroes) utilize chiropractic care to reach their top potential in addition to pain relief.

Safety of the Chiropractic Adjustment Evaluated by Tissue Damage Markers- by The Evidence Based Chiropractor

Just last year, Disease Markers released a study which examined tissue damage markers after patients received a chiropractic adjustment. As we know, the safety of the chiropractic adjustment is a primary concern to both patients' and their primary care physicians.

Safety is a huge concern for both consumers and other physicians.

Most other doctors have NO CLUE what we do as chiropractors! Showcasing research that highlights the safety of our care is critical when you are building referral relationships.

This study looked at tissue damage markers pre-treatment, post-treatment, and post-treatment +2 hours. The treatment groups included a control group, a group receiving a cervical spine adjustment, and a group receiving a thoracic spine adjustment.

“Our data show no changes in any of the studied damage markers.”

As you can see below, the researchers found no indication of tissue damage after patients received a chiropractic adjustment. This is a great study to present to your local referral partners. Pro-actively addressing concerns regarding safety is key when developing referral relationships with other local health care providers.

I was also super impressed that the paper cited the benefits of chiropractic- such as reduced inflammation, pain relief, and the well-documented reduction in drug consumption for those receiving care.

Keep in mind- highlighting benefits is often more effective than features.

Here are some other cool finding from the authors of the study:

“The aim of this preliminary study is to determine the possible noxious effects of spinal manipulation.”

“Spine manipulation is a manual therapy technique commonly applied, which presents benefits for patients such as an anti-inflammatory effect, pain relief, and reduction of drug consumption.”

“…lower cervical and thoracic manipulation techniques seem to be safe manual therapy techniques which cause no harm to the health of a subject.”

See the study on PubMed- Tissue damage markers after a spinal manipulation in healthy subjects: a preliminary report of a randomized controlled trial.
