What are the advantages of chiropractic medicine?


Some of the advantages of chiropractic medicine are that: 

1) It is effective for the treatment of many neuromusculoskeletal conditions, such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, etc. 

2) It has very few and uncommon side effects (sprains, strains, fracture) compared to alternative treatments that have more severe side effects (eg: NSAIDS like aspirin can cause gastrointestinal bleeding) 

3) It is usually covered by private health insurance, so the cost is low 

4) Doctors of chiropractic have some of the highest patient satisfaction ratings of all doctors because they often will take the time to discuss the health problems, options for treatment, etc.
