Chiropractic treatment is UNPROVEN to cure cancer or any other life-threatening illness. However, chiropractic treatment is effective in treating lower back pain or other pain caused by muscle or bone problems. It can also promote relaxation and stress reduction.

CAUTION: In several people with cancer, paralysis of the legs and full-body paralysis developed after manipulation of the spine when cancer had spread to and weakened the bones. People with cancer and chronic conditions such as arthritis, heart disease, and weakened bones should talk to their doctors before having any type of therapy that involves manipulation of joints and muscles. - Complete Guide to Complementary & Alternative Cancer Therapies, Second Edition; American Cancer Society 

Chiropractic is one of the most commonly used mind-body approaches used by adults.
