Chiropractic Care in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM)

In today’s evolving healthcare landscape, more individuals are turning to Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) to manage pain and improve overall well-being. Among these practices, chiropractic care is one of the most widely used and researched approaches. Dr. Ilan Burstein specializes in evidence-based chiropractic treatment, helping patients achieve pain relief, better mobility, and long-term health benefits.


Chiropractic as a CAM Approach

Chiropractic care focuses on the spine and musculoskeletal system, aiming to restore alignment, relieve pain, and enhance the body’s natural healing processes. Unlike conventional treatments that rely on medications or surgery, chiropractic adjustments offer a non-invasive, drug-free approach to managing conditions such as:

  • Back and neck pain
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Sciatica and nerve pain
  • Joint and muscle dysfunction


Research continues to explore how chiropractic care integrates with conventional medicine, with many patients using it alongside physical therapy, acupuncture, and other holistic treatments for a well-rounded health approach.


Patient Satisfaction and Long-Term Outcomes

Studies consistently show high levels of patient satisfaction with chiropractic care. Many patients report:

✔ Reduced pain intensity and frequency

✔ Improved mobility and flexibility

✔ Enhanced quality of life and overall well-being


Research suggests that chiropractic adjustments can provide lasting relief, especially for chronic conditions like lower back pain. When combined with lifestyle modifications and rehabilitative exercises, chiropractic care offers a sustainable solution for pain management—without the risks associated with opioid medications or invasive procedures.


Safety and Risk: What Research Says

Safety is a top priority in chiropractic care, and extensive research evaluates the potential risks and benefits of spinal adjustments. Common concerns include the risk of stroke or other complications associated with neck adjustments. However, studies indicate that:

  • The risk of serious adverse events from chiropractic adjustments is extremely low, particularly when performed by a licensed and experienced chiropractor like Dr. Ilan Burstein.
  • The association between neck adjustments and stroke is rare and not conclusively proven, with research suggesting that underlying conditions—not the adjustment itself—are more likely to contribute to such events.


To ensure safe and effective treatment, Dr. Burstein carefully evaluates each patient’s medical history and uses gentle, evidence-based techniques tailored to individual needs.

Chiropractic care continues to be a vital component of CAM, offering natural, effective, and patient-centered solutions for various musculoskeletal conditions.
