It is an error in judgement to assume that just because a method of wellness is considered alternative, that it is always safe. Just as with any other type of doctor, you should exercise care when choosing a doctor of chiropractic because all chiropractors are not equally skilled.
Over the years, I've moved completely away from the type of chiro adjustments that I call "old school" where the spine is manually twisted and adjusted. I believe, truly, that this type of adjustment can be very dangerous, particularly if the body is not sufficiently warmed up prior to the adjustment.
Once I learned about low impact and no impact chiropractic care, I became convinced that was the only way to go for me. I now see a chiropractor trained in the "Light Touch" technique, also called B.E.S.T. I've also had good results with those chiros who use a machine called the activator and who use other low impact modalities.

What is B.E.S.T.?
Since I found B.E.S.T. I'd never consider any other type of chiropractic care unless I was in urgent need and there were no B.E.S.T. chiropractors around.
The Morter Health System also involves components of nutritional therapy that I'm not familiar with, as well as emotional adjustments that I find very helpful. I'm not sure how these work but, during a typical session with my chiropractor, she will muscle test for emotional issues and then, once any are found, instruct me to do certain things with my eyes and breath that definitely seem to facilitate release around whatever has been found. Since she doesn't share what the emotional issue was unless I ask, I notice only that the emotions that were coming up abate and the body goes into a calm and peaceful state.
