Are chiropractic adjustments safe?

Yes. A New Zealand government study found that adjustments are "remarkably safe". By avoiding drugs and risky surgery, chiropractic care enjoys an excellent track record. A thorough exam can identify the rare person for whom chiropractic care might be unsuited. Comparing statistics, adjustments are safer than taking over-the-counter pain relievers.
