It is a completely understandable concern, especially if you have never experienced chiropractic care before or are unsure what actually happens during an adjustment.

This short video from Dr Heidi Haavik is a clear, friendly guide to what research shows about the safety of chiropractic adjustments and spinal manipulation. She explains how trained chiropractors assess your individual needs, why complications are rare and how gentle, specific adjustments aim to improve movement and comfort.
