When Should You Not Get Adjusted By A Chiropractor?

You should avoid chiropractic adjustments if you have a recent fracture, severe osteoporosis, spinal infection, or certain inflammatory conditions unless cleared by your doctor. Pregnant women, post-surgical patients, or those with unstable joints should also be evaluated carefully first. A responsible chiropractor always screens for these issues before performing any adjustment. The goal is safe, gentle care that supports healing, never to push the body beyond what’s ready.
