Manipulation is performed to improve joint motion. A properly performed manipulation (typically called an adjustment) is isolated on only joints with restricted movement. The result is an isolated stretch and more normal movement. This should have no negative long-term negative side-effects.
Theoretically, if a joint is manipulated over and over again without assessment, this could make a joint hypermobile. A skilled chiropractor would not do this. A good analogy is how a dental hygeinist could possibly hurt your teeth by over-scaling them, but they just would not do that.
A common misconception is that manipulation causes Arthritis. This is ironic, since adjustments improve movement, therefore preventing osteoarthritis.
This misconception is from the idea that bending your knuckles to crack them causes arthritis. This unskilled manipulation may cause wear and tear on joints that would cause osteoarthritis. Chiropractic adjusting technique is designed to not cause wear and tear on a joint, but to improve its mobility and health. ,
Optimal functioning nervous system, positive attitude to life, leading to healthy lifestyle practices, and positive improvements in overall health, well-being and quality of life are are some of the long-term side effects of Network Care.

Is chiropractic care safe?
As with any specialty, it depends upon the individual doctor. Although no treatments exist that are completely without risk, spinal manipulation, when performed by a trained health care professional such as a doctor of chiropractic, is one of the safest forms of therapy for the treatment of back pain, neck pain, headaches and other musculoskeletal conditions (1,2). Common side effects from spinal manipulation include soreness, sprain/strain, headaches and nausea (3). There also exist a very slight risk of fracture. Despite the hype in the media, there is currently no evidence to suggest that spinal manipulation causes any side-effects more severe than those listed above (4,5). 1) A Risk Assessment of Cervical Manipulation vs. NSAIDs for the Treatment of Neck Pain. J Manipulative Physiol Ther 1995; 18 (8): 530-536. 2) The benefits outweigh the risks for patients undergoing chiropractic care for neck pain: a prospective, multicenter, cohort study. J Manipulative Physiol Ther 2007;30: 408-418. 3) How common are side effects of spinal manipulation and can these side effects be predicted? Manual Therapy. 2004. 9 (3), Pages 151-156. 4) Risk of Vertebrobasilar Stroke and Chiropractic Care Results of a Population-Based Case-Control and Case-Crossover Study. SPINE. 2008, 33 (4S), pp S176-S183. I asked my own Chiropractor that question...ans. she only pays $4,000 a year in malpractice ins. Thats a small amount compared to other MD's...seems chiropractors have very few malpractice claims made agaisnt them.

Are chiropractors dangerous?
Chiropractic is indeed "legit" and has been an effective form of health care for over 100 years. Chiropractic now represents the third largest used form of health care in North America, after medicine and dentistry (1). Before a student can attend chiropractic college they must complete a 4 year university undergraduate degree. Then, during an additional 4 years of chiropractic college, Chiropractors receive extensive training in the nervous system, muscular system and skeletal system. In addition, chiropractic students are taught how to properly identify and diagnose all other conditions that may present like simple muscle of joint pain. This way a chiropractor knows when they can help, and when they need to refer someone to a different specialist in the medical field.Opposite Answer:While some chiropractors can ease pain, in the same way as a massage therapist, the basic tenets of the "art" have never been proven in any scientific manner. A major danger of chiropractic is that most chiropractors are not trained in proper diagnosis and may delay referring you to a real doctor, even for life-threatening conditions. Secondly chiropractors have a pseudoscientific belief system and often recommend dangerous, expensive, or bizarre treatments that are completely worthless.A comprehensive critique of chiropractic's lack of scientific validity was published by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the Province of Quebec in 1963.
