Could chiropractic adjustments be unsafe if i have low bone density?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly!: If your bone density becomes critically low, there is a risk that shearing, rotational or static force on your bones could result in a bone fracture. You must weigh the benefit of the treatment with the possible risk of bone trauma or fracture.
