By A recent survey conducted by the Australian Chiropractors Association (ACA) has revealed that an overwhelming 99.6% of Australian parents believe that chiropractic healthcare has benefitted their children. This survey, which is the largest of its kind, received 29,599 online submissions from across Australia. The findings highlight the exemplary safety record of chiropractic healthcare, with no reports of significant harm to children. The ACA president, Dr. David Cahill, welcomed the updated statement on paediatric care by the Chiropractic Board of Australia, reinforcing the confidence the Australian public has in chiropractic care.
Strong Endorsement from Parents
The survey results show a strong endorsement from parents who have accessed chiropractic healthcare for their children. Of the 21,824 responses from parents, not a single report of significant harm was recorded. This highlights the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care for children. Dr. Cahill emphasized that the survey results reinforce the confidence that parents have in chiropractic care provided by registered ACA member chiropractors.
Parents reported various benefits of chiropractic care for their children, including improved musculoskeletal health and overall well-being. The non-invasive, drug-free approach of chiropractic care has been particularly appealing to parents seeking alternative healthcare options for their children. The survey results are a testament to the positive impact of chiropractic care on children’s health.
