Voluntary adverse event reporting among chiropractors is an ongoing challenge. Among 2,136 patients with chiropractic or physiotherapist office visits between October 2015 and December 2017, 21% reported experiencing an adverse event 2 to 7 days post-treatment, with the most common events being discomfort/pain, stiffness, and numbness.
