The number of deaths directly attributed to chiropractic adjustments is extremely low, with estimates suggesting that fatalities are rare. Research indicates that serious complications, including death, occur in approximately 1 in several million adjustments. While some studies have reported cases of severe adverse effects, these instances are significantly outweighed by the millions of adjustments performed annually. Overall, chiropractic care is generally considered safe when performed by licensed practitioners.

How is a chiropractic adjustment done?
There is no set fee or standard for the price of an adjustment, prices are set by the doctor of chiropractic. I have personally seen chiropractic adjustments as low as in the $30s (especially at a chiropractic school) or upwards of $100 or more. Many chiropractic physicians set there fees based on CMS guidelines that determined fees based on region and other professional and technical variables. Often these fees are also based upon how many regions of the spine are adjusted and whether or not extremities (arms or legs) are involved.
