Is Chiropractic Care Safe?
"Chiropractic manipulation is safer than medical management of
low-back pain."
--The Manga Report
The Manga Report, commissioned by the Ministry of Health in
Ontario, Canada and carried out by leading, independent health
economists at the University of Ottawa and headed by Pran Manga,
PhD, reviewed all of the international evidence on the
management of low-back pain.
It concluded: There would be highly significant cost savings if
more management of low-back pain was transferred from medical
physicians to doctors of chiropractic. There should be a
"shift in policy to encourage and prefer chiropractic services
for most patients with low-back pain," and chiropractic should
"be fully insured (and) fully integrated" into the Ontario
health-care system.
"The overwhelming body of evidence" shows that chiropractic
management of low-back pain is more cost-effective than medical
management, and that "many medical therapies are of questionable
validity or are clearly inadequate..."
It also stated, "Chiropractic manipulation is safer than medical
management of low-back pain." "Chiropractic management is
greatly superior to medical management in terms of scientific
validity, safety, cost-effectiveness and patient satisfaction."
